Abstract: The aim of this study was to clone and construct a buffalo miR-302s (bbu-miR-302s) lentivirus expression vector,analyze its bioinformatics,and try to apply the vector to buffalo somatic cell reprogramming.The bbu-miR-302s precursor sequence was amplified using buffalo genomic DNA as template,after the TA clone was sequenced,it was ligated into pLVX-IRES-ZsGreen1 lentiviral expression vector.After the vector was identified by enzyme digestion,it was transferred into HEK-293T cells by lipofection to package the lentivirus,and bbu-miR-302s lontivirus infect the HEK-293T and fibroblast cells of pig and buffalo.After buffalo fetal fibroblasts (BFFs) were infected by bbu-miR-302s lentivirus,the production of buffalo induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) was detected by induction culture.The location analysis of the miR-302s family in the genome was performed using the CoGeMiR database and SnapGene Viewer,its conservative was analyzed using ClustalX 1.83 software;TargetScan and miRWalk were used to predict the major target genes,and DAVID program was used to enrich the signal pathway of target genes.The sequencing results showed that the amplified sequence was buffalo miR-302s family,the titer of the packaged lentivirus was 7.2×106 TU/mL,which could effectively infect the somatic cells of three species.After BFFs were infected by bbu-miR-302s lentivirus,the cells changed morphologically and gathered to form clones.Alkaline phosphatase was positive,but the results of pluripotency gene and surface antigen were negative,which indicated that single factor miR-302s was not enough to completely reprogram BFF into iPSC,it promoted the reprogramming process.The CoGeMiR database showed that the miR-302s family was mainly located in the intron region of LARP7 gene,SnapGene Viewer software analysis result showed that bbu-miR-302s was located in the intron region of LARP7 gene in buffalo chromosome 7.The miR-302s clusters of different species and members of miR-302s family were highly conserved.A total of 255 major target genes of buffalo miR-302s were predicted,and these target genes were mainly concentrated in 33 pathways,among which PGK signal pathway,glucagon signal transduction and regulation of stem cell signal pathway were the most significant.The results laid a foundation for further research on the role of the miR-302s cluster in somatic cell reprogramming.
