Post-transcriptional modulation of interleukin 8 by CNOT6L regulates skeletal muscle differentiation
Archive ouverte
International audience. CNOT6L is a deadenylase subunit belonging to the CCR4-NOT complex, a major deadenylase complex in eukaryotes involved at multiple levels in regulation of gene expression. While CNOT6L is expressed in skeletal muscle cells, its specific functions in this tissue are still largely unknown. Our previous work highlighted the functional of CNOT6L in skeletal muscle cell differentiation. To further explore how CNOT6L regulates myogenesis, we used here gene expression analysis to identify CNOT6L mRNA targets in human myoblasts. Among these novel targets, IL-8 (interleukin 8) mRNA was the most upregulated in CNOT6L knock-down (KD) cells. Biochemical approaches and poly (A) tail length assays showed that IL-8 mRNA is a direct target of CNOT6L, and further investigations by loss- and gain-of-function assays pointed out that IL-8 is an important effector of myogenesis. Therefore, we have characterized CNOT6L-IL-8 as a new signaling axis that regulates myogenesis.
