- Abstract
- Extracellular vesicles (EVs) contain microRNAs (miRNAs), which are important regulators of embryonic development. Nevertheless, little is known about the precise molecular processes controlling blastocyst development and quality. In a previous study, we identified bta-miR-665 as one of the miRNAs more abundantly present in extracellular vesicles of embryo-conditioned culture media of blastocysts compared to degenerate ones. Here, we investigated the effect and regulatory roles of bta-miR-665 in blastocyst development by supplementation of bta-miR-665 mimics or inhibitors to the culture media. Supplementation of bta-miR-665 mimics improved cleavage and blastocyst rate (P < 0.01), and blastocyst quality as indicated by increased inner cell mass rates and reduced apoptotic cell ratios (P < 0.01). Furthermore, supplementation of bta-miR-665 inhibitors had the opposite effect on these phenotypes. Low input transcriptome analysis and RT-qPCR revealed that bta-miR-665 acts on genes linked to microtubule formation and apoptosis/cell proliferation. These insights not only elucidate the important role of bta-miR-665 in embryo development, but also underscore its potential in improving reproductive efficiency in bovine embryo culture.
