RESUMEN
Skeletal muscle satellite cells (SMSCs) are pivotal in skeletal muscle development and are influenced by numerous regulatory factors. This study focuses on the regulatory and functional mechanism roles of lncMD1, a muscle-specific long non-coding RNA, in the proliferation and differentiation of goat SMSCs. Employing in vitro cultured goat SMSCs, this study demonstrated that lncMD1, functions as a decoy for miR-133a-3p and miR-361-3p. This interaction competitively binds these microRNAs to modulate the expression of dynactin subunit 2 (DCTN2) and dynactin subunit 1 (DCTN1), thereby affects SMSCs proliferation and differentiation. These findings enhance the understanding of non-coding RNAs in goat SMSCs growth cycles and offer a theoretical foundation for exploring the molecular processes of goat skeletal muscle myogenic development.
