Ovulation failure accounts for over 10% of infertility cases in women of reproductive age in the United States. There is therefore an urgent need for a better understanding of ovulation. Yet, the mechanisms of ovulation are exceptionally difficult to study given that ovulation is a highly dynamic process that operates on a time scale of minutes in small spatially confined niches within the ovary. In this manuscript, we apply spatial transcriptomics at high spatial and temporal resolution to generate a molecular atlas of cellular transitions and cell–cell interactions in the mouse ovary. This atlas provides insights into intricate processes that regulate mouse ovarian follicle maturation and ovulation with important implications for advancing therapeutic strategies in reproductive medicine. Ovulation is essential for reproductive success, yet the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms are far from clear. Here, we applied high-resolution spatiotemporal transcriptomics to map out cell type– and ovulation stage–specific molecular programs as function of time during follicle maturation and ovulation in mice. Our analysis revealed dynamic molecular transitions within granulosa cell types that occur in tight coordination with mesenchymal cell proliferation. We identified molecular markers for the emerging cumulus cell fate during the preantral-to-antral transition. We describe transcriptional programs that respond rapidly to ovulation stimulation and those associated with follicle rupture, highlighting the prominent roles of apoptotic and metabolic pathways during the final stages of follicle maturation. We further report stage-specific oocyte–cumulus cell interactions and diverging molecular differentiation in follicles approaching ovulation. Collectively, this study provides insights into the cellular and molecular processes that regulate mouse ovarian follicle maturation and ovulation with important implications for advancing therapeutic strategies in reproductive medicine.
