Abstract: Skeletal muscle is an important tissue of the vertebrate body,its embryonic development starts from the proliferation and differentiation of myogenic progenitor cells of the dermomyotome into myoblasts,and further develops to form myotubes and eventually form muscle fibers.The entire development process is subject to complex and tight regulation,any abnormal regulation may affect the normal development process of skeletal muscle.In recent years,studies have shown that,in addition to myogenic regulator factors,myocyte enhancer factors and paired box proteins,non-coding RNA includes microRNA (miRNA),long noncoding RNA (lncRNA)and circular RNA (circRNA) can be widely used as important regulators to participate in the regulation of skeletal muscle development.miRNA mainly acts on target mRNA,and regulates the expression of related genes at the post-transcription level by inducing the destabilization of target mRNA and/or inhibiting translation.lncRNA has long length and advanced structure,which can regulate the expression of related genes in both pre-transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels through a variety of action modes.circRNA is mainly used as a miRNAs ponge,competitively binds to miRNA,and participates in the regulatory network of skeletal muscle development.The author summarized the seven aspects of skeletal muscle development,miRNA mechanism,miRNA and skeletal muscle development,lncRNA mechanism,lncRNA and skeletal muscle development,circRNA mechanism and circRNA and skeletal muscle development,in order to provide reference for studying the regulation of non-coding RNA in skeletal muscle development.
