Abstract: 【Objective】 The purpose of this paper was to investigate the regulatory mechanism of miR-1343 in porcine ovarian granulosa cells.The target genes of miR-1343 were predicted and analyzed by the bioinformatics method,and the effects of reproductive hormone on miR-1343 expression were explored in porcine ovarian granulosa cells. 【Method】 Mature sequences of miR-1343 were downloaded from the miRbase online database for sequence conservative analysis.Porcine ovarian granulosa cells were isolated and cultured,which were seeded into six-well plates.At 70%-80% cell confluence,the granulosa cells were treated with 0 IU/mL (control group) and 20 IU/mL (experimental group) follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH),with 3 replicates per group,24 h after addition,the cells were harvested,and the expression of miR-1343 was detected by Real-time quantitative PCR.The PROMO online software was utilized to predict the transcription factor binding sites for miR-1343 in pigs.The target genes of miR-1343 were predicted using TargetScan,miRDB,and Starbase database.GO function and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were performed for the target genes using DAVID online database.The protein-protein interaction (PPI) of target genes was analyzed using STRING database,and regulatory network was constructed using Cytoscape software. 【Result】 The mature sequences of miR-1343 were highly conserved among multiple species.The relative expression of miR-1343 in experimental group was extremely significantly down-regulated compared with the control group (P<0.01).There were many transcription factor binding sites such as Sp1,SMAD3,SMAD4,and FOXO4 in the promoter region of miR-1343.A total of 278 common target genes were predicted using different databases.GO function annotation analysis results revealed that target genes of miR-1343 were mainly enriched in phosphorylation,positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase Ⅱ,protein phosphorylation,and positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription for biological process,nucleus,cytoplasm,cytosol,and nucleoplasm for cellular component,and ATP binding,protein homodimerization activity,protein serine/threonine kinase activity and chromatin binding for molecular function.KEGG analysis results revealed that target genes of miR-1343 were significantly enriched in the Hippo signaling pathway,MAPK signaling pathway,and thyroid hormone signaling pathway,which were related to ovarian function.PPI analysis of miR-1343 target genes indicated that SYNJ1,PLCB1,and GSK3B had more targeted relationships with other proteins. 【Conclusion】 The expression of miR-1343 was influenced by FSH stimulation in granulosa cells.miR-1343 might participate in the development of porcine ovarian granulosa cells by regulating the expression of target genes such as PLCB1 and GSK3B.The results provided a reference for further exploring the regulatory mechanism of miR-1343 in porcine ovarian granulosa cells.
