CircRAB11A act as miR-24-5p sponge promotes proliferation and resists apoptosis of chicken granulosa cell via EGFR/ERK1/2 and RAB11A/ PI3K/AKT pathways

ABSTRACT: Circular RNAs redken shades 9gi (circRNAs) are a class of endogenous non-coding RNAs that have been implicated in mediating granulosa cell (GC) proliferation and apoptosis.CircRAB11A was found to have a significantly higher expression in normal follicles compared to atrophic follicles.In this study, we determined that the knockdown of cir
