Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) imposes great challenges on women's fertility and lifelong health. POI is highly heterogeneous and encompasses occult, biochemical, and overt stages. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are negative regulators of gene expression, whose roles in physiology and diseases like cancers and neurological disorders have been recognized, but little is known about the miRNAs profile and functional relevance in biochemical POI (bPOI). In this study, the expression of miRNAs and mRNAs in granulosa cells (GCs) of bPOI women was determined by two microarrays, respectively. MiR-379-5p, PARP1, and XRCC6 were differentially expressed in GCs of bPOI as revealed by microarrays. Subsequently, functional studies demonstrated that miR-379-5p overexpression inhibited granulosa cell proliferation and attenuated DNA repair efficiency. Furthermore, both PARP1 and XRCC6 showed lower levels in GCs from patients with bPOI and were identified as executives of miR-379-5p. Therefore, our data first uncovered potentially pathogenic miR-379-5p and two novel targets PARP1 and XRCC6 in bPOI, which corroborated the significance of DNA repair for POI, and brought up an epigenetic explanation for the disease.
