gga-miR-6634-5p Affects the proliferation and steroid hormone secretion of chicken (Gallus Gallus) granulosa cells by targeting MMP16 by Yixiang Tian, Xing Wu, Zihao Zhang, Yijie Li, Meng Hou, Ruirui Jiang, Donghua Li, Yanhua Zhang, Yulong Guo, Guoxi Li, Xiaojun Liu, Xiangtao Kang, Yadong Tian, Wenting Li, Yuetao Li

“…We found that gga-miR-6634-5p significantly down-regulated the mRNA levels of proliferation-related genes (CCND1, CDK1, and CDK6), decreased cell viability, the number of EdU-labelled positive cells, and the percentage of S-phase cells, as analysed by quantitative real time PCR (qRT-PCR), cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), 5-ethynyl-2′deoxyuridine (EdU) and flow cytometry analyses (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05). qRT-PCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) results demonstrated that gga-miR-6634-5p up-regulated the expression of steroid synthesis-related genes (CYP19A1, 3β-HSD, StAR and FSHR) (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05), as well as the secretion of estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P4) (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05). …”
