note = {Several microRNA (miRNA) clusters are known to be differentially regulated during follicular development. Previously, it was reported that the miR-424/503 cluster was highly abundant in bovine granulosa cells (bGCs) of preovulatory dominant follicles compared to subordinate counterparts. However, the underlying mechanisms of this miRNA cluster in bGCs functions and oocyte maturation have not been investigated. Here, we aimed to investigate the role of miR-424/503 cluster in bGCs function and oocyte maturation. Target gene validation assay using luciferase reporter showed that SMAD7 and ACVR2A are the direct targets of the miR-424/503 cluster. In line with this, while overexpression of miR- 424/503 reduced, inhibition increased the expression of SMAD7 and ACVR2A genes. Furthermore, flow cytometric analysis indicated that overexpression of miR-424/503 cluster enhanced bGCs proliferation by promoting G1 to S phase cell cycle transition. Moreover, knockdown of the miR-424/503 cluster target gene using small interfering RNA also revealed similar phenotypic and molecular alterations when miR-424/503 cluster was overexpressed. Further, increased cell proliferation and downregulation of both miR-424/503 and its target gene with activin A treatment, indicated the presence of negative feedback loop between activin A and the miR-424/503 cluster. Moreover, expression of miR-424/503 was significantly higher at mature cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) (MII) compared to immature COCs (GV) in both cumulus and oocytes. Additionally, overexpression of miR-424 enhanced the expression of genes associated with cumulus cell expansion such as EGFR, PTGS2, PTX3 and MAPK1 and also increased the expression of KIT ligand gene associated with oocyte growth. In conclusion, the miR-424/503 cluster regulates bovine granulosa cell proliferation by targeting SMAD7 via activin signalling pathway and enhances the candidate gene expression involved in cumulus cell expansion and oocyte maturation.},
