The miR-302s/367 family has the ability to induce mouse and human somatic cell reprogramming into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), inhibit the proliferation of several types of cancer cells, and even cause cancer cell apoptosis. However, the functions of the miR-302s/367 family in other mammals have not been explored. In the present study, the effects of miR-302s/367 on reprogramming, proliferation, and apoptosis in sheep fetal fibroblasts (SFFs) were evaluated by the delivery of a plasmid vector containing synthetic precursor miRNAs into cells, followed by the induction of mature miR-302s/367 expression. The results showed that miR-302s/367 could not reprogram SFFs into iPSCs; however, they could inhibit both the proliferation and apoptosis of SFFs by targeting CDK2, E2F1, E2F2, and PTEN in the cell cycle and PI3K-Akt pathways. Based on our findings, a novel mechanism was proposed in which the miR-302s/367 family functions in both the proliferation and apoptosis of somatic cells in mammals, suggesting that caution is needed when using miR-302s/367 as therapeutic agent.
