Little is known about the involvement of miRNAs in luteal development. Cattle provide a convenient model to study ovarian physiology in monovular species. Our previous microarray studies in bovine showed significant upregulation of miR-96 and miR-132 in luteal relative to follicular tissues. In the present study we used an in vitro model of forskolin-induced follicular granulosa cell luteinisation, transfection with specific locked nucleic acid inhibitors or mimics of...
