It is caused by CUG expansion in the myotonic dystrophy protein kinase gene that leads to aberrant signaling and impaired myocyte differentiation. Many studies have shown that microRNAs are involved in the differentiation process of myoblasts. The purpose of this study was to investigate how the miR-322\/miR-503 cluster regulates intracellular signaling to affect cell differentiation. The cell model of DM1 was employed by expressing GFP-CUG200 or CUGBP Elav-like family member 1 (Celf1) in myoblasts. Immunostaining of MF-20 was performed to examine myocyte differentiation. qRT-PCR and western blot were used to determine the levels of Celf1, MyoD, MyoG, Mef2c, miR-322\/miR-503, and mitogen-activated protein kinase\/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MEK\/ERK) signaling. Dual luciferase assay was performed to validate the interaction between miR-322\/miR-503 and Celf1. CUG expansion in myoblasts impaired the cell differentiation, increased the Celf1 level, but it decreased the miR-322\/miR-503 levels. miR-322\/miR-503 mimics restored the impaired differentiation caused by CUG expansion, while miR-322\/miR-503 inhibitors further suppressed. miR-322\/miR-503 directly targeted Celf1 and negatively regulated its expression. Knockdown of Celf1 promoted myocyte differentiation. Further, miR-322\/miR-503 mimics rescued the impaired differentiation of myocytes caused by CUG expansion or Celf1 overexpression through suppressing of MEK\/ERK signaling. miR-322\/miR-503 cluster recover the defective myocyte differentiation caused by RNA-toxic via targeting Celf1. Restoring miR-322\/miR-503 levels could be an avenue for DM1 therapy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/toxres\/tfaa096","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,19]],"date-time":"2020-11-19T20:59:18Z","timestamp":1605819558000},"page":"29-39","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["miR-322\/miR-503 clusters regulate defective myoblast differentiation in myotonic dystrophy RNA-toxic by targeting Celf1"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Wei","family":"Dong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular, The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, No. 17, Yongwai Zheng Street, Nanchang, Jiangxi Province 330006, P.
