miR-1294, hsa-miR-1827, hsa-miR-326, hsa-miR-330-5p, hsa-miR-486-3p, hsa-miR-649 |
| Biological function: |
Regulates estradiol (E2) secretion in recipient granulosa cells by modulating miR-1294 and CYP19A1; depletion inhibits E2 production. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
ceRNA mechanism: circLDLR sponges miR-1294 to derepress CYP19A1, affecting aromatase-dependent estradiol production; exosomal transfer mediates intercellular regulation. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
ovarian steroidogenesis (other); ceRNA regulation (promotes) |

| Description: |
Exosomal circLDLR (hsa_circ_0006877) is decreased in follicular fluid exosomes from PCOS patients. It acts as a ceRNA by sponging miR-1294, thereby relieving repression of CYP19A1 and modulating aromatase-dependent estradiol (E2) production in granulosa cells. |
