Pig-induced pluripotent stem cells (piPSCs) have great potential application in regenerative medicine. The miR-302s cluster alone has been shown to reprogram mouse and human somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) without exogenous transcription factors. However, miR-302s alone have not been reported to reprogram cells in large livestock. In this study, we induced pig somatic cells into partially reprogrammed piPSCs using overexpression of the miR-302s cluster (miR-302s-piPSC) and investigated the early reprogramming events during the miRNA induction process. The results showed that miR-302s-piPSCs exhibited some characteristics of pluripotent stem cells including expression of pluripotency markers—particularly, efficient activation of endogenousOCT4—and differentiation to the three germ layersin vitro. During the early reprogramming process, somatic cells first underwent epithelial–mesenchymal transition and then mesenchymal–epithelial transition to eventually form miR-302s-piPSCs. These data show, for the first time, that single factor miR-302s successfully induced pig somatic cells into miR-302s-piPSCs. This study provides a new tool and research direction for the induction of pluripotent stem cells in a large livestock.
