Lipid Deposition and Progesterone Synthesis Are Increased by miR-181b-5p through RAP1B/ERK1/2 Pathway in Chicken Granulosa Cells.
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry 2023 August 22
Steroid hormones secreted by granulosa cells are essential for maintaining normal development of chicken follicles. Our previous sequencing data indicated that miR-181b-5p and RAS-related protein 1B ( RAP1B ) appeared to function in chicken granulosa cells, which was further explored in this study. The results suggested that miR-181b-5p facilitated the aggregation of lipid droplets and the synthesis of progesterone. In contrast, RAP1B astricted lipid deposition and progesterone secretion. Cotransfection of the RAP1B overexpression vector with miR-181b-5p mimic eliminated the promoting effect of miR-181b-5p. Dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed that miR-181b-5p bound directly to the 3' untranslated region (3' UTR) of RAP1B . We also found that miR-181b-5p and RAP1B reduced and enhanced the phosphorylation levels of extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2), respectively. The application of ERK1/2 activators and inhibitors demonstrated that ERK1/2 is a negative regulator of lipid deposition and progesterone synthesis. In conclusion, we revealed that miR-181b-5p accelerated lipid deposition and progesterone synthesis through the RAP1B/ERK1/2 pathway in chicken granulosa cells. miR-181b-5p and RAP1B may serve as new biomarkers in breeding to improve chicken reproductive performance and prevent ovary-related diseases.
