Expression of the Mir-183 cluster in the follicles and corpus luteum of cattle

Abstract

In this study, the expression profiles of the miR-183 cluster were explored in bovine dominant and subordinate follicles and different luteal phases. This miRNA cluster showed higher expression levels in dominant bovine follicles than in subordinates. The expression levels of miR- 182 and miR-96 were reduced from the early phase to the regressed phase, whereas miR-183 showed lower expression levels in the mid and late CL phases than in the early and regressed CL phases.
