Background: Myogenesis is a complex process controlled by several coding and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) such as circular RNAs (circRNAs) that well-known function as endogenous microRNAs (miRNAs) sponges. Over the past few years, numerous circRNAs have been known and their roles in biological processes have begun to be understood. Cerebellar Degeneration-Related protein 1 antisense (CDR1as), the most spotlighted circRNA as miR-7 sponge that has been blooming circRNAsâ research for a decade, and can potentially sponge several miRNAs in disease and muscle physiology. Nevertheless, the linear-RNAs-differed character that the acute interventions for circRNAs do not affect miRNAs levels, and has retarded the transcriptome-wide discovery of miRNAs sponged by. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to provide the transcriptomic effect of CDR1as during muscle differentiation.Methods: siCDR1as and siDICER1 were transfected into goat skeletal muscle satellite cells (SMSCs). RNA-seq technology and bioinformatics tools were used to analyze genes that are deregulated by siCDR1as and siDICER1. quantitative PCR was used to verify the expression levels of the differentially expressed mRNAs and miRNAs. Results: Here, to systematically identify miRNAs targeting CDR1as, we employed the critical enzyme DICER1 that governs the biogenesis of miRNAs. The deficiency of either DICER1 or CDR1as inhibited myogenic differentiation of SMSCs, and knockdown of DICER1 decreased the expression of CDR1as. Moreover, we screened for the targeted messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and miRNAs in SMSCs transfected with siDICER1 or siCDR1as respectively and found out that some well-known muscle-related pathways such as phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-AKT signaling pathway, Rap1 signaling pathway, and MAPK signaling pathway were enriched in all groups. Further, regarding the miRNAs identified in siDICER1 and siCDR1as together with the sequence complementary information, we identified 11 miRNAs including miR-1, miR-206, and miR-27a-5p which are more likely to be novel targets for CDR1as. Conclusion: In summary, our study provides a perspective on the potential functions and relationship between CDR1as and DICER1 during muscle development.
