Abstract

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small single-stranded noncoding RNAs with important roles in regulating mammary gland development and lactation via posttranscriptional mechanisms. This paper reviewed the miRNAs expression profile of mammary gland, miRNAs and targeted genes associated with mammary gland development and lactation and miRNAs in milk. Changes in miRNAs expression profile in different stages of lactation and research progress in target genes were emphasized. Potential problems and developing prospect of miRNAs in bovine mammary gland in the future were also discussed.
