Accumulating evidence indicates the absence of paternally derived miRNAs, piwiRNAs, and proteins may be one important factor contributing to developmental failure in somatic cell cloned embryos. In the present study, we found microRNA-449b (miR-449b) was highly expressed in sperm. Target gene predictions and experimental verification indicate that several embryonic development-related genes, including CDK6, c-MYC, HDAC1 and BCL-2, are targets of miR-449b. We therefore investigated the role of miR-449b using somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) embryo model. Bovine fetal fibroblasts, expressing miR-449b through a doxycycline (dox) induced expression system were used as nuclear donor cells for SCNT. The results showed that miR-449b expression in SCNT embryos significantly enhanced the cleavage rate at 48 h after activation and the levels of H3K9 acetylation at the 2-cell to 8-cell stages, meanwhile, significantly decreased the apoptosis index of blastocysts. In addition, we verified miR-449b could regulate the expression levels of CDK6, c-MYC, HDAC1 and BCL-2. In conclusion, the present study shows that miR-449b expression improves the first cleavage division, epigenetic reprogramming and apoptotic status of bovine preimplantation cloned embryos.
