whole-transcriptome analysis of Granulosa Cells Between the Healthy and Atresia Follicles in Chinese Buffalo
GCs were collected from HFs and AFs , to use second-generation high-throughput sequencing for whole-transcriptome analysis, respectively. In total, 1861 and 1075 mRNAs, 159 and 24 miRNAs, 123 and 100 lncRNAs, and 58 and 54 circRNAs were identified to be differentially expressed (DE) in up-regulated and down-regulated. Enrichment of functions and signaling pathways of the DEgenes showed that most of DEmRNAs and targets of DEmiRNAs, DElncRNAs and DEcricRNAs were annotated to the categories of 'PI3K-Akt signaling pathway', 'ECM-receptor interaction', 'Focal adhesion', 'mTOR signaling pathway ' 'TGF-beta signaling pathway', 'Rap1 signaling pathway', and 'Estrogen signaling pathway'. The ceRNA (competing endogenous RNA) network was constructed based on ceRNA theory further revealed regulatory roles of these DERNAs in granulosa cells of buffalo atretic follicles. A large number of mRNAs, lncRNAs, circRNAs, and miRNAs in buffalo granulosa were altered in healthy and atretic follicles, which may play crucial roles in atretic of buffalo follicles through the ceRNA regulatory network. Overall design: In total, 6 samples include: HF groups(n=3) and AF groups(n=3)
