RESUMO
Granulosa cells (GCs), as the basic components of ovarian tissue, play an indispensable role in maintaining normal ovarian functions such as hormone synthesis and ovulation. The abnormality of GCs often leads to ovarian endocrine disorders, which exert a negative effect on life quality and life expectancy. However, the pathogenesis and treatment of diseases are still poorly understood. Exosomes contain regulatory molecules and can transmit biological information in cell interaction. The role of exosomes in GCs has been studied extensively. This review summarizes the regulatory function of exosomes in GCs, as well as their participation in etiopathogenesis and their promising application in treatment when it comes to ovarian endocrine diseases, which can help us better understand ovarian diseases from the perspective of GCs.
