Abstract: 【Objective】This study was conducted to investigate the expression pattern of miR-133a in various chicken tissues, and find whether baculoviral IAP repeat containing 5 (BIRC5) is the target gene of miR-133a.【Method】The bioinformatics methods were used to predict the target genes of miR-133a. Real-time PCR was used to detect the expression patterns of miR-133a of various tissues in chicken. Dual-luciferase reporter assays and site mutation assays were used to verify whether BIRC5 is a target gene of miR-133a. 【Result】Two hundred and eighty-seven genes of 11891 genes from 3′UTR database were predicted as target genes of miR-133a. The expression patterns of miR-133a in various chicken tissues showed that miR-133a was highly expressed in muscle especially in skeletal muscle. Reporter assays showed that BIRC5 was the target gene of miR-133a and the site mutation assays validated the target site of miR-133a in BIRC5. 【Conclusion】 miR-133a is a miRNA related with skeletal muscle development of chicken, and BIRC5 is a bona fide target gene in chicken.
