The oocyte develops into a follicle where it is in close contact with cumulus cells (CCs), of somatic origin. The two cell types undergo a bidirectional communication via gap junctions, which results in the regulation and coordination of the metabolism during oocyte development and maturation. We assume that gene expression and regulation in the CCs play a crucial role in functions that are essential for oocyte growth and competence acquisition. The present study may be subdivided in two parts. In the first part we used deep sequencing to investigate the repertoire of miRNAs in the cumulus cells and the oocyte. MicroRNAs that are noncoding RNA sequences whose length is approximately 19-25 nucleotides have emerged as important regulators in ...
