MicroRNA‑mediated regulation of muscular atrophy : Exploring molecular pathways and therapeutics (Review)

Muscular atrophy, which results in loss of muscle mass and strength, is a significant concern for patients with various diseases. It is crucial to comprehend the molecular mechanisms underlying this condition to devise targeted treatments. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as key regulators of gene expression, serving vital roles in numerous cellular processes, including the maintenance of muscle stability. An intricate network of miRNAs finely regulates gene expression, influencing pathways related to muscle protein production, and muscle breakdown and regeneration. Dysregulation of specific miRNAs has been linked to the development of muscular atrophy, affecting important signaling pathways including the protein kinase B/mTOR and ubiquitin‑proteasome systems. The present review summarizes recent work on miRNA patterns associated with muscular atrophy under various physiological and pathological conditions, elucidating its intricate regulatory networks. In conclusion, the present review lays a foundation for the development of novel treatment options for individuals affected by muscular atrophy, and explores other regulatory pathways, such as autophagy and inflammatory signaling, to ensure a comprehensive overview of the multifarious nature of muscular atrophy. The objective of the present review was to elucidate the complex molecular pathways involved in muscular atrophy, and to facilitate the development of innovative and specific therapeutic strategies for the prevention or reversal of muscular atrophy in diverse clinical scenarios.
