- Abstract
The development of skeletal muscle in animals is a complex biological process, which are strictly and precisely regulated by many genes and non-coding RNAs. Circular RNA (circRNA) was found as a novel class of functional non-coding RNA with ring structure in recent years, which appears in the process of transcription and is formed by covalent binding of single-stranded RNA molecules. With the development of sequencing and bioinformatics analysis technology, the functions and regulation mechanisms of circRNAs have attracted great attention due to its high stability characteristics. The role of circRNAs in skeletal muscle development have been gradually revealed, where circRNAs were involved in various biological processes, such as proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis of skeletal muscle cells. In this review, we summarized the current studies advance of circRNAs involved in skeletal muscle development in bovine, and hope to gain a deeper understanding of the functional roles of the circRNAs in muscle growth. Our results will provide some theoretical supports and great helps for the genetic breeding of this species, and aiming at improving bovine growth and development and preventing muscle diseases.
