摘要

Cell proliferation plays a crucial role in muscle atrophy-regeneration. However, the functional roles of Long non-coding RNA X-inactive specific transcript (lncRNA Xist) in C2C12 cell proliferation remain poorly characterized. We identified lncRNA Xist as a regulator of cell proliferation kinetics by acting as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) in C2C12 cells. Downregulation or overexpression of lncRNA Xist correlated with enhanced or impaired cell proliferation, respectively. Mechanistically, lncRNA Xist sponges miR-486-5p to regulate serine/threonine kinase 4 (Stk4) expression, thereby modulating C2C12 cell proliferation in vitro. The lncRNA Xist/miR-486-5p/Stk4 ceRNA network plays an essential role in C2C12 proliferation, suggesting lncRNA Xist as a potential therapeutic target for muscle atrophy.
