Abstract: alternative RNA splicing represents a fundamental post-transcriptional regulatory mechanism that generates diverse mRNA transcripts from single genes, thereby expanding protein diversity beyond genomic constraints. In mammalian systems, over 95% of multi-exon genes undergo alternative splicing, with skeletal muscle exhibiting one of the highest frequencies of tissue-specific splicing events. This sophisticated regulatory process governs critical aspects of skeletal muscle development, regeneration, and functional maintenance. Dysregulation of alternative splicing pathways is intimately linked to devastating muscle disorders, including Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), myotonic dystrophy (DM), and sarcopenia. This comprehensive review synthesizes current understanding of alternative splicing mechanisms, examines their pivotal roles in muscle growth and regeneration, and explores emerging therapeutic strategies that target splicing abnormalities in muscle disease.
