note = {MicroRNAs which are known for posttranscriptional gene regulation are evidenced for their essential role during animal development and disease. In this study, identification and expression profiling of bovine miRNAs during oocyte maturation are scrutinized using heterologous approach, while miRNA regulated novel molecular signature underlying bovine subclinical endometritis was dissected using an integrative approach. Primarily, identification and expression profiling of microRNAs during bovine oocyte maturation was investigated using miRCURYTM locked nucleic acids (LNA) array (Exiqon, Vedbaek, Denmark) microarray that consist of 454 capture probes for human, mouse and rat miRNAs. The result revealed differential expression of 59 miRNAs, of which 31 and 28 miRNAs were found to be preferentially expressed in immature and matured oocytes, respectively. Here, 32 new bovine orthologous miRNAs were identified using a heterologous approach. Furthermore, the preliminary attempt to dissect the specific function of miR-99a and miR-100 in invitro cumulus cell showed that both miRNAs down regulate bovine tribbles homologue 2 (TRB2). On the other hand, genome wide RT2 miRNA PCR array consisting of 354 well characterized human miRNA primers was used to analyze miRNA expression in the uterine cytobrush samples taken from cows with subclinical endometritis and healthy. The result showed the aberrant expression of 23 miRNAs in cows with subclinical endometritis as compared to the healthy ones. Interestingly, the Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) for high ranking target genes of aberrantly expressed miRNAs identified gene networks, canonical pathways and biological functions that converged to array of signaling pathways and cellular activities inherent to the endometrium during estrous cycle and pregnancy. Furthermore, the luciferase assay data substantiated the primary information from bioinformatic prediction and enabled us to deduce a convincing link between the aberrantly expressed miRNAs and target genes. Taken together, identification and dynamic expression pattern of certain class of miRNAs during bovine oocyte maturation suggests their potential involvement in early embryo development; where as, aberrant expression of uterine miRNAs in animals with subclinical endometritis potentially interfere with the tight uterine gene regulation.},
