TSP1 was reported to be involved in multiple biological processes including the activation of TGF-beta signaling pathways and the regulation of angiogenesis during wound repair and tumor growth, while its role in ovarian folliculogenesis remains to be elucidated. In the present study, Tsp1a was found to be expressed in the oogonia and granulosa cells of phase I to phase IV follicles in the ovaries of Nile tilapia by immunofluorescence.tsp1ahomozygous mutants were generated by CRISPR/Cas9. Mutation oftsp1aresulted in increased oogonia, reduced secondary growth follicles and delayed ovary development. Expression of the cell proliferation marker PCNA was significantly up-regulated in the oogonia of the mutant ovaries. Furthermore, transcriptomic analysis revealed that expressions of DNA replication related genes were significantly up-regulated, while cAMP and MAPK signaling pathway genes which inhibit cell proliferation and promote cell differentiation were significantly down-regulated. In addition, aromatase (Cyp19a1a) expression and serum 17 beta-estradiol (E2) concentration were significantly decreased in the mutants. These results indicated that lackingtsp1aresulted in increased proliferation and inhibited differentiation of oogonia, which in turn, resulted in increased oogonia, reduced secondary growth follicles and decreased E2. Taken together, our results indicated thattsp1awas essential for ovarian folliculogenesis in Nile tilapia.
