摘要: Activin/Smad3 signaling plays a pivotal role in follicle development and atresia. However, the precise mechanisms underlying this process are not yet fully understood. Herein, we identified miR-181a as a central component of activin/Smad3-mediated follicle atresia. miR-181a was strikingly upregulated in porcine atretic follicles, which induced the apoptosis of porcine granulosa cells (GCs) in vitro. Furthermore, the transforming growth factor-beta type 1 receptor (TGFBR1) was confirmed as a direct target of miR-181a by bioinformatics analysis and luciferase assays. Transfection with an miR-181a agomir repressed the TGFBR1 mRNA and protein levels. In addition, TGFBR1 overexpression repressed GC apoptosis, whereas TGFBR1 inhibition promoted GC apoptosis. miR-181a overexpression downregulated the phosphorylation of Smad3 and blocked the activation of TGF-beta signaling. Moreover, activin A downregulated miR-181a expression and upregulated the TGFBR1 and p-Smad3 protein levels. Collectively, these data suggest that miR-181a regulates porcine GC apoptosis by targeting TGFBR1 via the activin signaling pathway.
