Abstract:

In recent years, the relationship between miRNA and pregnancy in mammals has become a hot topic. The majority of miRNA can be preferentially expressed in the animal placenta, and they are related to pregnancy and birth of mammals. The effects of miRNA on embryo development, pregnancy, pregnancy diseases and breast milk production in the late perinatal period in mammals were analysed and discussed in this paper. The effects of miRNA in mammalian blood and placenta on pregnancy were summarized, wihch will provide some references for comprehending the relationship between miRNA and mammalian pregnancy.

Key words: miRNA, pregnancy, embryo, biomarker
