Abstract 【Objective】 To explore the regulatory role of follicular fluid Exosomes (EXs) miRNA in follicular development and atresia, the difference of miRNA expression between mature follicular fluid Exosomes (mffEXs) and atretic follicular fluid Exosomes (affEXs) were analyzed. 【Method】In this study, the follicular fluid of 4-6 mm porcine mature development and atresia follicles was extracted. Then EXs were identified by particle size analysis and Western Blot detection, respectively. the sequencing analysis of the characteristic EXs carried miRNA and functional enrichment analysis were carried out, and then the key signal pathways and differential genes were screened. Finally, mffEXs and affEXs were used as additives for granular cell culture, and Q-PCR detection technology was used to analyze the expression of key genes to verify and analyze the regulatory functions of EXs miRNA in the two types of follicular fluid in follicular development. 【Result】This study successfully separated mffEXs and affEXs. The sequencing results showed that compared with mffEXs, 90 miRNAs in affEXs were up-regulated and 220 miRNAs were down-regulated, indicating that the level of miRNA expression in follicular fluid could directly regulate follicular development. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that the differential signaling pathways of the two types of follicles were mainly concentrated in the signal pathways, such as Ras, cAMP, P53 and MAPK, which involved in the regulation of biological functions, such as oocyte development, meiosis, and granulosa cell cycle. In atretic follicles, the up-regulated expression of ssc-let-7a and ssc-miR-133a-3p potentially targeted and regulated cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK1) and insulin growth factor (IGF1), which inhibited G1 and G2/M Phase operation, and steroid hormone metabolism promoted the obstruction of granular cell cycle and the apoptosis of granular cells, causing follicular atresia; down-regulated ssc-miR-21-5p potentially targeted tumor suppressor gene (P53) and inhibited cell cycle operation to promote the apoptosis of granular cells. mffEXs and affEXs were added to granular cells cultured in vitro, and Q-PCR results showed that CDK1 was significantly up-regulated in mffEXs, while P53 was significantly down-regulated, indicating the reliability of the sequencing analysis results. These results all showed that changes in miRNA expression levels in affEXs promoted granular cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, causing follicular atresia. 【Conclusion】 Porcine affEXs carry miRNAs increased the regulation of CDK1, IGF1 and P53 gene expression, and inhibited the cell cycle of granulosa cells and steroid hormone metabolism and other signal pathways, causing granulosa cell apoptosis and follicular atresia.
