miR-101a promotes the differentiation of goat skeletal muscle satellite cells (SMSCs), as we previously reported, but the underpinning mechanism remains to be illuminated. In this study, we predicted the target gene of miR-101a by employing online softwares PicTar, TargetScan and miRanda, and found that enhancer of zeste homologue 2 (EZH2) was targeted by miR-101a. Further we identified that EZH2 contained miR-101a binding sites at its 3'UTR by using the dual-luciferase reporter assay system. In addition, we showed that during SMSC differentiation, the downregulated levels of EZH2 mRNA and protein were accompanied by increasing miR-101a expression via qRT-PCR and Western blot. Additionally, the expression of EZH2 significantly increased (P<0.01) when miR-101a was suppressed, whereas overexpressing miR-101a almost had no effect on EZH2 expression (P>0.05). These data demonstrated that miR-101a promotes SMSC differentiation directly through EZH2, which provides a theoretical reference for further elucidating the mechanism of miR-101a in SMSC differentiation.

Butyric acid as a short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) is one of the key microbial metabolites of ruminants. Numerous studies indicate that butyrate is crucial in muscle growth and development, and plays an important molecular regulatory role mainly by inhibiting histone deacetylation. DNA methylation, a major epigenetic modification, is involved in cell differentiation.

Objective: Asparagine synthetase (ASNS) is an aminotransferase responsible for the biosynthesis of aspartate by using aspartic acid and glutamine. ASNS is highly expressed in fast-growing broilers, but few studies have reported the regulatory role of ASNS in muscle development.
Methods: To explore the function of ASNS in chicken muscle development, the expression of ASNS in different chicken breeds and tissues were first performed by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), with the ability to differentiate into osteoblasts, adipocytes, or chondrocytes, show evidence that the donor cell's metabolic type influences the osteogenic process. Limited knowledge exists on DNA methylation changes during osteogenic differentiation and the impact of diverse donor genetic backgrounds on MSC differentiation. In this study, synovial membrane mesenchymal stem cells (SMSCs) from two pig breeds (Angeln Saddleback, AS; German Landrace, DL) with distinct metabolic phenotypes were isolated, and the methylation pattern of SMSCs during osteogenic induction was investigated.

Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from the synovium, known as synovium mesenchymal stem cells (SMSCs), exhibit significant potential for articular cartilage regeneration owing to their capacity for chondrogenic differentiation. However, the microRNAs (miRNAs) governing this process and the associated mechanisms remain unclear. While mechanical stress positively influences chondrogenesis in MSCs, the miRNA-mediated response of SMSCs to mechanical stimuli is not well understood.

Background And Objective: The pathogenesis of coronal suture craniosynostosis is often attributed to the dysregulated cellular dynamics, particularly the excessive proliferation and abnormal osteogenic differentiation of suture cells. Despite its clinical significance, the molecular mechanims of this condition remain inadequately understood. This study is dedicated to exploring the influence of the Periostin/Bone Morphogenetic Protein 1 (BMP1) axis on the growth and osteogenic maturation of Suture Mesenchymal Stem Cells (SMSCs), which are pivotal in suture homeostasis.
