Background The expression of microRNA-206 (miR-206) is high in skeletal muscle but low
in most other tissues. The expression of miR-206 is increased in muscular dystrophy,
suggesting its involvement in the pathogenesis of muscle diseases. To determine the role of
miR-206 in muscle cell differentiation and explore a possible gene therapy vector, we
constructed a miR-206 adenoviral expression vector (AdvmiR-206) and tested for
transfection into C2C12 stem cells.
