Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the technical field of gene engineering, and in particular, to use of miR-22-3p in promoting the differentiation of yak myoblasts. miR-22-3pmimic can significantly promote the expression of miR-22-3p, and can also significantly increase the expression of differentiation marker genes MYF5 and MYOD at the mRNA and protein levels. miR-22-3p inhibitor can significantly inhibit the expression of miR-22-3p, and can significantly promote the expression of MYF5 and MYOD at the mRNA and protein levels. miR-22-3p mimic can significantly promote the formation of myotubes, while miR-22-3p inhibitor can significantly inhibit the formation of myotubes. The above results indicate that miR-22-3p has a promoting effect in the differentiation process of myoblasts.
