The accumulation of ovarian granulosa cell (GC) apoptosis underlies follicular atresia. By comparing the previous sequencing results, miR-486 was found to be differentially expressed at higher levels in the monotocous goat than in the polytocous goat. Unfortunately, the miRNA-mediated mechanisms by which the GC fate is regulated are unknown in Guanzhong dairy goats. Therefore, we investigated miR-486 expression in small and large follicles, as well as its impact on normal GC survival, apoptosis and autophagy in vitro. Here, we identified and characterized miR-486 interaction with Ser/Arg-rich splicing factor 3 (SRSF3) using luciferase reporter analysis, detecting its role in GC survival, apoptosis and autophagy regulation through qRT-PCR, Western blot, CCK-8, EdU, flow cytometry, mitochondrial membrane potential and monodansylcadaverine, etc. Our findings revealed prominent effects of miR-486 in the regulation of GC survival, apoptosis and autophagy by targeting SRSF3 , which might explain the high differential expression of miR-486 in the ovaries of monotocous dairy goats. In summary, this study aimed to reveal the underlying molecular mechanism of miR-486 regulation on GC function and its effect on ovarian follicle atresia in dairy goats, as well as the functional interpretation of the downstream target gene SRSF3 .
