TLDR
The current understanding of miRNA biogenesis, the role and mechanism that miRNAs play in post-transcriptional gene expression regulation, and specifically the current evidence of mi RNA involvement in ovarian development and function are reviewed.Abstract:
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs which function in gene regulation with an important role in cell proliferation, maturation, and activity. The regulatory role of these small RNA molecules has recently begun to be explored in ovarian cells, uncovering their influence on gonadal development, steroidogenesis, apoptosis, ovulation, and corpus luteum development. This emerging area of research has extended and reshaped our understanding on how ovarian function is regulated. Here, we review the current understanding of miRNA biogenesis, the role and mechanism that miRNAs play in post-transcriptional gene expression regulation, and specifically the current evidence of miRNA involvement in ovarian development and function. Future comprehensive understanding of the role of miRNAs in the ovary in both physiological and pathological conditions may offer new treatment strategies for infertility and other ovarian disorders.read more

Characterization of serum microRNAs profile of PCOS and identification of novel non-invasive biomarkers.
TL;DR: Serum miRNAs are differentially expressed between PCOS patients and controls, and bioinformatics analysis indicated that the predicted targets function of the three miRN as mainly involved in the metastasis, cell cycle, apoptosis and endocrine.

MicroRNA-133b stimulates ovarian estradiol synthesis by targeting Foxl2
Anyi Dai,Haixiang Sun,Ting Fang,Qun Zhang,Shaogen Wu,Yue Jiang,Lijun Ding,Guijun Yan,Yali Hu +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that miR‐133b down‐regulates Foxl2 expression in granulosa cells by directly targeting the 3′UTR, thus inhibiting the Foxl 2‐mediated transcriptional repression of StAR and CYP19A1 to promote estradiol production.
Journal ArticleDOI
MicroRNAs in ovarian function and disorders.
TL;DR: This review considers recent advances in the identification of miRNAs involved in the regulation of ovarian function as well as the possible influence ofmiRNAs on ovarian-derived disorders, such as ovarian cancer, polycystic ovarian syndrome and premature ovarian failure.

Follicle-stimulating hormone regulation of microRNA expression on progesterone production in cultured rat granulosa cells.
TL;DR: In this article, the expression of miRNAs is altered during FSH-mediated progesterone secretion of cultured granulosa cells, showing that miRNs mir-29a and mir-30d were significantly downregulated after 48 h.

Novel genes modulated by FSH in normal and immortalized FSH-responsive cells: new insights into the mechanism of FSH action
TL;DR: The established monoclonal rat FSH‐responsive granulosa cell lines that express FSH receptors at 20‐fold higher rates than with primary cells are established, and the probability of yielding a distinct spectrum of genes modulated by FSH is increased, increasing the understanding of the mechanism of FSH action in stimulating development of the ovarian follicular cells, of intracellular and intercellular communication.

TL;DR: Data indicate that miR-22 is involved in repressing estrogen signaling within fetal testes, and a number of differentially expressed miRNAs are predicted to target genes known to be important in mammalian gonadal development.
