TsRNA-3043a intensifies apoptosis and senescence of ovarian granulosa cells to drive premature ovarian failure by targeting FLT1.

ABSTRACT: Premature ovarian failure (POF) represents the pathological aging of the ovary. The tRNA-derived small fragments (tsRNAs) play significant roles in diseases; however, whether tsRNAs are involved in POF remains unknown. The cell and mice models of POF were established, and the tsRNAs profile in the ovarian tissues of POF mice was revealed through sequencing. The functions of tsRNA-3043a and its target gene FLT1 in POF cells and mice were detected. POF mice were characterized by a decreased number of normal follicles, ovarian weight, SOD level, and serum contents of E2, LH, and FSH. A total of 81 tsRNAs were aberrantly expressed in the ovarian tissue of POF mice. The expression of tsRNA-3043a was up-regulated in POF mice. tsRNA-3043a mimics inhibited the proliferation and promoted apoptosis,
