摘要: Skeletal muscle growth and development in livestock and poultry play a pivotal role in determining the quality and yield of meat production. However, the mechanisms of myogenesis are remained unclear due to it finely regulated by a complex network of biological macromolecules. In this study, leveraging previous sequencing data, we investigated a differentially expressed circular RNA (circSGCB) present in fetal and adult muscle tissues among various ruminant species, including cattle, goat, and sheep. Our analysis revealed that circSGCB is a single exon circRNA, potentially regulated by an adjacent bovine enhancer. Functional analysis through loss -offunction tests demonstrated that circSGCB exerts inhibitory effects on bovine myoblast proliferation while promoting myocytes generation. Furthermore, we discovered that circSGCB primarily localizes to the cytoplasm, where it functions as a molecular sponge by binding to bta-miR-27a-3p. This interaction releases the mRNAs of KLF3 gene and further activates downstream functional pathways. In vivo, studies provided evidence that upregulation of KLF3 contributes to muscle regeneration. These findings collectively suggest that circSGCB operates via a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) mechanism to regulate KLF3, thereby influencing myogenesis in ruminants and highlights it may as potential molecular targets for enhancing meat production in livestock and poultry industries.
