PURPOSE: To identify differentially expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) and expression patterns of specific miRNAs during meiosis in human oocytes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: To identify differentially expressed miRNAs, GV oocytes and MII oocytes matured at conventional FSH levels (5.5 ng/ml) were analyzed by miRNA microarray. Real-time RT-PCR was used to confirm the changed miRNAs. To validate the dynamic changes of miRNAs from GV to MII stages, oocytes were divided into four groups (#1-4), corresponding to GV oocytes, MI oocytes, MII oocytes matured in conventional FSH level and MII oocytes matured in high FSH level (2,000 ng/ml) respectively. RESULTS: Compared with GV oocytes, MII oocytes exhibited up-regulation of 4 miRNAs (hsa-miR-193a-5p, hsa-miR-297, hsa-miR-625 and hsa-miR-602), and down-regulation of 11 miRNAs (hsa-miR-888*, hsa-miR-212, hsa-miR-662, hsa-miR-299-5p, hsa-miR-339-5p, hsa-miR-20a, hsa-miR-486-5p, hsa-miR-141*, hsa-miR-768-5p, hsa-miR-376a and hsa-miR-15a). RT-PCR analysis of hsa-miR-15a and hsa-miR-20a expression revealed concordant dynamic changes in oocytes from group 1 to group 4. CONCLUSION(S): Specific miRNAs in human oocytes had dynamic changes during meiosis. High-concentration FSH in IVM medium led to reverse effect on the expression of hsa-miR-15a and hsa-miR-20a.
