Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression primarily at the post-transcriptional levels and thereby play important roles in regulating many physiological and developmental processes. Oocyte maturation in fish is induced by hormones produced from the hypothalamus, pituitary, and ovary. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulates the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH), which in turn, induces the secretion of maturation-inducing hormone (MIH) from the ovary. It is documented that small early vitellogenic (or stage IIIa) follicles are unable to undergo oocyte maturation whereas oocytes in mid- to late vitellogenic (stage IIIb) follicles can be induced by LH and MIH to become mature. To determine whether miRNAs may be involved in the growth and acquisition of maturational competency of ovarian follicles, we determined the miRNA expression profiles in follicular cells collected from stage IIIa and IIIb follicles using next-generation sequencing. It was found that miRNAs are abundantly expressed in the follicular cells from both stages IIIa and IIIb follicles. Furthermore, bioinformatics analysis revealed the presence of 214 known, 31 conserved novel and 44 novel miRNAs in zebrafish vitellogenic ovarian follicular cells. Most mature miRNAs in follicular cells were found to be in the length of 22 nucleotides. Differential expression analysis revealed that 11 miRNAs were significantly up-regulated, and 13 miRNAs were significantly down-regulated in the stage IIIb follicular cells as compared with stage IIIa follicular cells. The expression of four of the significantly regulated miRNAs, dre-miR-22a-3p, dre-miR-16a, dre-miR-181a-3p, and dre-miR-29a, was validated by real-time PCR. Finally, gene enrichment and pathway analyses of the predicted targets of the significantly regulated miRNAs supported the involvement of several key signaling pathways in regulating ovarian function, including oocyte maturation. Taken together, this study identifies novel zebrafish miRNAs and characterizes miRNA expression profiles in somatic cells within the zebrafish ovarian follicles. The differential expression of miRNAs between stage IIIa and IIIb follicular cells suggests that these miRNAs are important regulators of zebrafish ovarian follicle development and/or oocyte maturation.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
