Based on a previous global transcriptome sequencing project, we hypothesized that Lumican (LUM) might play a role in ovulatory processes. We sought to determine LUM gene expression under various conditions in human preovulatory follicles. T…
BACKGROUND: DCN (decorin) is a proteoglycan known to be involved in regulating cell proliferation, collagen fibril organization and migration. In our global transcriptome RNA-sequencing approach to systematically identify new ovulation-asso…
BackgroundThe cumulus expansion process is one of the LH mediated ovulatory processes. Hyaluronan synthase 2 (HAS2) regulates the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, the main component of the cumulus expansion process. Recently, the lncRNA HAS2 a…
ObjectiveTo investigate the mRNA expression of genes related to steroidogenesis and OHSS in granulosa cells (GCs) of patients triggered with GnRH agonist compared to patients triggered with hCG.DesignMural GCs were obtained at the time of o…
