The tumor suppressor protein p53 is a powerful regulator of the embryo’s susceptibility to diverse teratogenic stimuli, functioning both as a teratogenesis inducer and suppressor. Targets which p53 engages to fulfill its functions remains largely undefined, though. We asked whether the miR-34 family, identified as one of the main targets of p53, mediates its function as a teratogenesis inducer. For this, pregnant ICR, p53 and miR-34a heterozygous mice and Spargue-Dowley rats were exposed to 5-aza-2’-deoxycytidin (5-aza), a teratogen inducing limb reduction anomalies (LRA) of the hindlimbs in mice and LRA of either the hindlimbs or forelimbs in rats. Using Hind- and forelimb buds of 5-aza-exposed embryos, we found that the miR-34 family members are the most upregulated miRNAs in mouse and rat limb buds, with their expression level being significantly higher in limb buds destined to exhibit LRA. It was also observed that Met and Gas1 are targeted by miR-34a in embryonic limb buds and that p53 mediates the 5-aza-induced transcriptional miR-34 family activation and miR-34a targets suppression. Finally, we showed that p53 regulates the teratogenic response to 5-aza acting as a teratogenesis inducer and that miR-34a gene deletion do not affect the susceptibility of mice to 5-aza. Overall, this study supports earlier observations demonstrating miR-34 family as a regulatory target of p53 but suggests for the first time that miR-34 family play a redundant function in the pathway(s) engaged by p53 acting as a teratogenesis inducer.
