Abstract: Goat meat has the characteristics of tender meat,low fat and cholesterol content,and is loved by consumers.Skeletal muscle is an important part of the animal body,which greatly affects the meat yield and meat quality of goats.Many genes,signaling pathways and molecules are involved in the regulation of skeletal muscle growth and development,such as myogenic regulatory factor family (MRFs),pair-box gene family (PAX),MAPK signaling pathway,PI3K-Akt signaling pathway,etc.Non-coding RNA (ncRNA),including small RNA (miRNA),long non-coding RNA (lncRNA),circRNA,etc.,play an important role in the growth and development of skeletal muscle by regulating these genes and signaling pathways.For example,miR-495-3p,miR-101a,miR-27b and lncR-125b can promote the differentiation of skeletal muscle satellite cells,and miR-99b-3p can promote the proliferation of skeletal muscle satellite cells.Some lncRNA act as miRNA sponges to regulate the expression of target genes and the growth and development of skeletal muscle.The study of ncRNA involved in regulating the development of skeletal muscle in goats is helpful to understand the growth and development process of skeletal muscle in goats,and also plays an important role in the improvement of meat quality.The author gives a brief introduction of miRNA,lncRNA and circRNA related to skeletal muscle development in goats and their related regulatory mechanisms,providing some references for further studies on the regulation of ncRNA on skeletal muscle development in goats.
