Popis: MicroRNAs are important regulators in stem cells, which involve in gene regulation, including cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. As an important one, miR-34c participates in various processes by targeting protein-coding genes. It is generally considered as a tumor suppressor and cell adhesion inhibitor. However, whether miR-34c has effects on pluripotent stem cells is not clear. Here, by mir-34c mimics transfection, the function of miR-34c on porcine induced pluripotent stem cell (piPSC)-like cells was investigated. Bioinformatics analyses showed that c-Myc is miR-34c's candidate target, which was confirmed by dual Luciferase assay. The knockout of miR-34c indicated that mir-34c affects the proliferation and pluripotency of piPSC-like cells by targeting c-Myc. Our study explored the regulatory mechanism of miR-34c on piPSC-like cells, providing a reference for the establishment of true porcine PSCs.
