ABSTRACT
Female fertility potential is based on the development and growth of ovarian follicles. Our previous study showed that miR-17-5p was significantly differently expressed in pre-ovulatory ovarian follicles of Large White (LW) and Chinese Taihu (CT) sows. In the present study, we investigated the role of miR-17-5p in ovarian follicle development. We demonstrated that miR-17-5p overexpression significantly decreased the luciferase reporter activity containing the E2F transcription factor 1 (E2F1) 3'untranslated region (3'UTR) and suppressed the E2F1 expression, whereas the miR-17-5p inhibition increased the E2F1 expression in porcine granulosa cells (pGCs). Meanwhile, miR-17-5p overexpression or E2F1 knockdown promoted cell growth, follicular development marker genes (LHR, CYP19A1 and AREG) expression and oestradiol synthesis, and miR-17-5p inhibition suppressed cell growth, follicular development marker genes (LHR, CYP19A1 and AREG) expression and oestradiol synthesis in pGCs. Furthermore, E2F1 knockdown increased CYP19A1 promoter activity. This study suggests that miR-17-5p regulates pGC growth and oestradiol synthesis by targeting E2F1 gene.
