MicroRNA-451a Regulates Myogenesis by Suppressing SPARC Expression Levels


ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that critically regulate gene expression. Their abundance and function have been linked to processes such as senescence and aging. In aged monkey muscle, miR-451a and miR-144-3p were highly upregulated compared to young animals. This led us to hypothesize that the miRNAs 451a/144-3p may be involved in muscle differentiation. We found that these miRNAs are downregulated during the differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts. Overexpression of miR-451a, but not miR-144-3p, robustly impeded the differentiation, suggesting an inhibitory role for miR-451a. We further investigated the potential regulatory targets of miR-451a and identified Sparc mRNA, encoding a secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC), which is involved in wound healing and cellular differentiation. Interestingly, we found that miR-451a suppresses Sparc mRNA translation according to the analysis of polysome profile. Our findings show that miR-451a is downregulated in differentiated myoblasts and decreases C2C12 differentiation at least in part by the suppression of SPARC biosynthesis.
