Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Skeletal muscle accounts for 40% of total body weight, but mechanisms of many skeletal muscle injuries and diseases have not been resolved. MicroRNA-206 (miR-206) is a skeletal muscle-specific microRNA, which plays an important role in skeletal muscle development and regeneration.

 
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the research status of miR-206 in skeletal muscle injuries and diseases.
METHODS: A computer-based search of PubMed was performed for articles about microRNA-206 in skeletal muscle injuries and diseases published from 1992 to 2014 using the keywords of “miR-206, skeletal muscle”. Finally, 57 articles were included in result analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: miR-206 can regulate neuromuscular junction recovery after nerve muscle injury. Studies have shown that to control miR-206 levels may be a new method for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and other muscle diseases. miR-206 can promote the differentiation of satellite cells in cell culture, and the lack of miR-206 can delay the differentiation of satellite cells. miR-206 is also found to promote the regeneration of skeletal muscle. After long-term exercise, the miR-206 level shows an adaptive decrease, but if the exercise is stopped for some time, the miR-206 level can return to its original level. Its mechanism remains to be studied.
