Abstract

Skeletal muscle satellite cells are integral to muscle development and regeneration. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), a significant class of non-coding RNAs, participate in numerous biological processes and play critical roles in myogenic differentiation. However, research on the regulation of porcine satellite cell (PSC) proliferation and differentiation remains limited. To uncover key lncRNAs involved in PSC regulation, we performed strand-specific RNA-seq to comprehensively profile lncRNA and mRNA expression in PSCs at different stages of proliferation and differentiation (P24h, P48h, D18h, D28h). On average, 61.62 million clean reads were obtained across all samples. Through stringent filtering, we identified 1950 novel lncRNAs, 9367 annotated lncRNAs and 57252 mRNA transcripts for further analysis. This dataset provides valuable insight into the role of lncRNAs in PSC differentiation and contributes to a more detailed understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying porcine muscle development.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a dataset, done in animal, not in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
