Increased granulosa cell (GC) proliferation may contribute to abnormal folliculogenesis in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which affects approximately 10% reproductive aged women. However, the mechanisms underlying increased GC proliferation in PCOS remain incompletely understood. In this study, we identified miR-3940-5p as a hub miRNA in GC from PCOS using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), and real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis confirmed that miR-3940-5p was significantly increased in GC from PCOS. Enrichment analysis of predicted target genes of miR-3940-5p indicated potential roles of miR-3940-5p in follicular development and cell proliferation regulation. Consistently, functional study confirmed that miR-3940-5p overexpression promoted granulosa cell proliferation. Integrated analysis of mRNA expression profiling data and predicted target genes of miR-3940-5p identified potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 5 (KCNA5) as a potential target of miR-3940-5p, and was validated by luciferase reporter assay. Finally, functional analysis suggested that miR-3940-5p promoted GC proliferation in a KCNA5 dependent manner. In conclusion, miR-3940-5p was a hub miRNA upregulated in GC from PCOS, and promoted GC proliferation by targeting KCNA5. (C) 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
