MiR-27b-3p Attenuates Muscle Atrophy by Targeting Cbl-b in Skeletal Muscles.

ABSTRACT: As it is well known, muscle atrophy is a process in which protein degradation increases and protein synthesis decreases. This process is regulated by a variety of links. Among them, microRNAs play an essential role in this process, which has attracted widespread attention. In this paper, we find that miR-27b-3p and Cbl-b genes are significantly differentially expressed in the induced atrophy model. The dual-luciferase experiment and Western blot analysis confirmed that miR-27b-3p could regulate the expression of Cbl-b. In C2C12-differentiated myotubes, the overexpression of the Cbl-b gene showed that Cbl-b could upregulate the expression of MuRF-1 and Atrogin-1, which are related marker genes of muscle atrophy, at both the mRNA and protein levels, indicating that the Cbl-b gene can specifi
