bta-mir-29b is a microRNA (miRNA) that plays a role in lipid metabolism and has been implicated in various biological processes in cattle. It was found to be down-regulated in mammary gland and primary mammary epithelial cells of cows with low lipid synthesis, suggesting it does not regulate lipid synthesis under these conditions [PMC4783934]. Additionally, bta-mir-29b is differentially expressed in the liver of cattle with different residual feed intakes, indicating its involvement in glucose homeostasis and lipid metabolism [PMC9039951]. It has also been identified as differentially expressed between bulls with varying fertility levels [PMC9581129]. In the context of viral infections, bta-mir-29b expression was upregulated following BVDV infection and was shown to suppress viral replication and apoptosis by regulating caspase-7 and NAIF1 levels [PMC5885596]. Moreover, its upregulation led to the downregulation of autophagy-associated proteins ATG14 and ATG9A during BVDV infection [PMC5885596]. In commercial milk extracellular vesicles (EVs), bta-mir-29b does not exhibit a specific enrichment pattern, suggesting the presence of multiple EV subtypes [PMC5994974]. Lastly, it has been shown to promote triglyceride production while suppressing apoptosis [PMC5765104], indicating its multifaceted role in bovine biological processes.
