Article Abstract
Myogenic factor 5 (Myf5), a product of the Myf5 gene, belongs to the MRF family of basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors that regulate myogenesis. Their roles in muscle growth and development make their genes candidates for molecular markers of meat production in livestock, but nucleotide sequence polymorphism has not been thoroughly studied in MRF genes. We detected four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within exon 1 of the Myf5 gene, encoding the NH-terminal transactivation domain of the Myf5 protein. Three of these mutations change the amino acid sequence. The distribution of these SNPs was highly skewed in cattle populations; most of the mutations were found in only a few or even single individuals. Of the nine SNPs found in the promoter region of Myf5, one (transversion g.-723G-->T) was represented by all three genotypes distributed in the cattle populations studied. This polymorphism showed an influence on Myf5 gene expression in the longissimus dorsi muscle and was associated with sirloin weight and fat weight in sirloin in carcasses of Holstein-Friesian cattle.

Cultured meat produced using satellite cells has emerged to address issues such as overpopulation, the ethical conundrums associated with the breeding environment, and the methane gas emissions associated with factory farming. To date, however, the challenges of maintaining satellite cells in vitro and reducing the costs of the culture media are still substantial. Gelatin, collagen, and fibronectin are commonly used extracellular matrices (ECMs) that facilitate signal integration with the cells and promote cell adhesion.

The neuroendocrine hormone melatonin is associated with circadian rhythms and has antioxidant and vasodilative properties. In cattle, melatonin rescues fetal growth during maternal nutrient restriction in a seasonally dependent manner, but melatonin research in swine is limited. The objective of this study was to evaluate effects of dietary melatonin supplementation during mid to late gestation on circadian rhythm and muscle growth and development of the longissimus dorsi in utero and postnatally.

Adult myogenic cell lines are useful to study muscle development, repair and regeneration. In newts, which are known for their high regenerative capacity, myogenic cell lines have not been established in species other than the Eastern newt Notophthalmus viridescens. In this study, we established another myogenic cell line, named CpM01, from the skeletal muscle of the forearm of the adult Japanese fire-bellied newt Cynops pyrrhogaster.

Background: The yak (Bos grunniens) is essential to the livelihoods of Tibetan people on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau; however, its growth and productivity are constrained by the region's harsh climate and high altitude. Yak skeletal muscle myoblasts, which have evolved to thrive under these challenging conditions, offer a valuable model for investigating muscle development. In this study, we performed transcriptome profiling of yak longissimus dorsi muscle at different growth stages, identifying a key long non-coding RNA, LncRNA-XR_314844 (Lnc-MEG8), with a potential role in muscle development.

Understanding the early stages of human congenital myopathies is critical for proposing strategies for improving musculoskeletal muscle performance, such as restoring the functional integrity of the cytoskeleton. SH3 and cysteine-rich domain 3 (STAC3) are proteins involved in nutrient regulation and are an essential component of the excitation-contraction (EC) coupling machinery for Ca releasing. A mutation in STAC3 causes debilitating Native American Myopathy (NAM) in humans, while loss of this gene in mice and zebrafish (ZF) results in premature death.
