Annotated Information

Approved Symbol

MYOSLID ("myocardin-induced smooth muscle lncRNA, inducer of differentiation")

Chromosome

2q33.3

RefSeq(supplied by NCBI)

XR_923811

(A, C) or cultured Venous SMCs (B) were serum starved for 24 hrs, cells were then treated with the indicated growth factors for another 24 hrs before RNA isolation for qRT-PCR analysis[1]

Characteristics

MYOSLID is located in a lncRNA-rich genomic region of chromosome 2 where the closest protein coding genes are 70 kb (KLF7) and 200 kb (CREB1) away from its 5’end and 3’ end, respectively.[1] It is a VSMC-selective lncRNA, which is a direct transcriptional target of MYOCD/SRF and TGFβ/SMAD pathways.[1] MYOSLID transcripts are predominately localized in the cytosol.[1]

Regulation

MYOSLID is a new member of the SRF-dependent program of human VSMC differentiation and it can be directly targeted by MYOCD/SRF.Under pathological conditions, MYOSLID is reduced.[1]

Function

MYOSLID promotes F-actin assembly leading to MKL1 nuclear translocation and the subsequent transcriptional activation of downstream VSMC contractile genes.[1]
