Proteome of bovine granulosa cells and extracellular vesicles from follicular fluid

ABSTRACT: The follicular fluid (FF) fills the interior of ovarian antral follicle and provides the microenvironment for oocyte growth and acquisition of its competence to ovulate and latter support early embryo development. The FF is derived from both blood plasma and secretion of different types of follicular cells. It contains also extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes, small membrane-coated EVs with 30-150 nm in diameter, which participate in cell-to cell communication and signaling by transferring their cargo of different types of RNAs, proteins and lipids into the oocyte or follicular cells. To date most studies have focused on studying the ffEVs miRNAs cargo and showing that miRNAs can influence oocyte competence and further embryo development. However, ffEVs protein cargo, which could have a direct contribution after being uptake by the oocyte or follicular cells have been less studies.

Follicular fluid (FF) fills the interior portion of the ovarian antral follicle and provides a suitable microenvironment for the growth of the enclosed oocyte through molecular factors that originate from plasma and the secretions of follicular cells. FF contains extracellular nanovesicles (ffEVs), including 30-100-nm membrane-coated exosomes, which carry different types of RNA, proteins, and lipids and directly influence oocyte competence to develop embryo. In the present study, we aimed to cha ...[more]

Project description:The mammalian follicular development is a well-orchestrated and complex molecular process characterized by sequences of follicular waves that yield the ovulatory follicle. It has been reported that bi-directional communication between the growing oocyte and the surrounding somatic cells is a hallmark of mammalian follicular development, partially mediated by extracellular vesicles (EVs) present in the follicular fluid (FF). Bioactive molecules such as the miRNAs encapsulated in the EVs mediate this communication within the follicular environment. Here, we aimed to decipher the dynamics of the miRNAs in the EVs of equine FF aspirated in vivo during different stages of follicular development. Hence, all follicles ≥6 mm were ablated on Days 10–11 of the estrous cycle (ovulation = Day 0) and the new induced wave was ultrasound-monitored daily until the largest growing follicle for at least three consecutive days was randomly allocated to one of the five groups (n = 8 follicles/group) namely: predeviation (preDEV; 18–20 mm), deviation (DEV; 22–25 mm), postdeviation (postDEV; 26–29 mm), preovulatory (preOV; 30–35 mm), and impending ovulation (IMP; ~40 mm). The FF was collected from each target group by ultrasound-guided transvaginal follicle aspiration. After removal of cells, cellular debris, and larger particles, EVs were isolated from FF groups (4 biological replicates/group; 0.5 mL FF/replicate) using high-speed ultracentrifugation (120,000xg for 70 min). Isolated EVs were characterized using western blot for EV marker proteins, NanoSight Tracking Analysis, and electron microscopy. MiRNA enriched total RNA was isolated from EVs using an Exosomal RNA Isolation kit and small-RNA library preparation and RNAseq (NextSeq500; Illumina) was performed by Novogene Co, Ltd. Approximately 180 known miRNAs were detected in each group with 148 mutually found in all groups. Among the expressed miRNAs, miR-148a, miR-21, miR-192, and miR-99a were the top highly abundant miRNAs in all groups. Cluster analysis exhibited 15 different expression patterns during follicular development. Among these patterns, a group of 23 miRNAs (including miR-106b, miR-199a-5p, and miR-125a-5p) exhibited a stable expression at the preDev until the postDev stage, a significant increase at the preOV stage, and then a significant decrease at the IMP stage. This miRNA cluster has been found to target genes involved in TGF-signaling and endocytosis pathways. Another interesting pattern with 22 miRNAs (including miR-146b-5p, miR-140, and miR-143) exhibited a sharp reduction in their expression from the preDEV until the preOV stage and was predicted to target genes associated with fatty acid biosynthesis, cell cycle, and oocyte meiosis pathways. In contrast, a group of 16 miRNAs (including miR-483, miR-128, and miR-192) gradually increased in expression from preDEV to the postDEV and then downregulated at the preOV stage. This miRNA cluster targets several signaling pathways, including ErbB, thyroid, and estrogen signaling. In conclusion, this study provides greater insights into the stage-specific expression dynamics of the FF EV-miRNAs during equine follicular development, which may play a role in folliculogenesis in mares.
