Abstract: microRNA (miRNA) is a important endogenous non-coding single-stranded small RNA species,which play an important role in post transcriptional regulation of gene expression.The study on miRNA has become a focus in life science gradually in recent years. The importance of miRNA in regulating skeletal muscle development has been reported recently.This review summarized the researches on some key miRNAs related with skeletal muscle development.

Key words: miRNA; skeletal muscle; development
