Abstract
Muscle satellite cells (SCs) are responsible for muscle homeostasis and regeneration and lncRNAs play important roles in regulating SC activities. Here, in this study, we identify PAM (Pax7 Associated Muscle lncRNA) that is induced in activated/proliferating SCs upon injury to promote SC proliferation as myoblast cells. PAM is generated from a myoblast-specific super-enhancer (SE); as a seRNA it binds with a number of target genomic loci predominantly in trans. Further studies demonstrate that it interacts with Ddx5 to tether PAM SE to its inter-chromosomal targets Timp2 and Vim to activate the gene expression. Lastly, we show that PAM expression is increased in aging SCs, which leads to enhanced inter-chromosomal interaction and target genes upregulation. Altogether, our findings identify PAM as a previously unknown lncRNA that regulates both SC proliferation and aging through its trans gene regulatory activity.
