ABSTRACT
The metabolic regulation of cell death is sophisticated. A growing body evidence suggests the existence multiple checkpoints that dictate fate in response to fluctuations. However, whether microRNAs (miRNAs) are able respond stress, reset threshold death, and attempt reestablish homeostasis largely unknown. Here, we show miR-378/378* KO mice cannot maintain normal muscle weight have poor running performance, which accompanied by impaired autophagy, accumulation abnormal mitochondria, excessive apoptosis skeletal muscle, whereas miR-378 overexpression enhance autophagy repress mice. Our vitro data stress-responsive promotes inhibits a cell-autonomous manner. Mechanistically, initiation through mammalian target rapamycin (mTOR)/unc-51-like activating kinase 1 (ULK1) pathway sustains via Forkhead box class O (FoxO)-mediated transcriptional reinforcement targeting phosphoinositide-dependent protein (PDK1). Meanwhile, suppresses intrinsic directly an initiator caspase-Caspase 9. Thus, propose critical component checkpoints, integrates information into adaptive reduce propensity myocytes undergo enhancing autophagic process blocking apoptotic initiation. Lastly, our suggest inflammation-induced down-regulation might contribute pathogenesis dystrophy.
