This study aimed to explore the candidate circRNAs and lncRNAs related to molecular mechanisms when exploring the role of melatonin in regulating ovarian function. Methods: Bovine ovary granulosa cells were collected 48 h after treatment with melatonin at 10\u22127 M. The lncRNA and circRNA profiles of bovine granulosa cells were further explored using high-throughput sequencing in the absence\/presence of melatonin. The differentially expressed lncRNAs and circRNAs were analyzed through the annotation information of source transcripts for GO (Gene Ontology) and KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes). Results: We identified 99 differentially expressed lncRNAs and 28 differentially expressed circRNAs. Enrichment analysis of differentially expressed lncRNAs and circRNAs showed they were enriched in multiple pathways involved in development, apoptosis, and reproductive function, such as the mTOR (mammalian Target of Rapamycin) signaling pathway, FoxO (Forkhead box O) signaling pathway, MAPK (Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase) signaling pathway, Hippo signaling pathway, TGF-beta (Transforming Growth Factor-\u03b2) signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt (Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase-Akt) signaling pathway, apoptosis, and Rap1 (Ras-related protein 1), most of which were mainly related to granulosa cell function and the crosstalk between granulosa cells and oocytes. The present analysis indicated the potential role of melatonin in granulosa cell function by regulating lncRNA and circRNA expression and, thus, mediating follicular development. An lncRNA\/circRNA and miRNA regulatory network was also constructed to take their interactions into account. Conclusions: Our study offers details of lncRNA and circRNA expression in bovine granulosa cells and further provides insight into the potential role of melatonin in regulating reproduction by modulating lncRNA and circRNA expression.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/genes17020178","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,2]],"date-time":"2026-02-02T09:48:08Z","timestamp":1770025688000},"page":"178","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["An Integrated Analysis of circRNA and lncRNA Expression of Bovine Granulosa Cells Induced by Melatonin Reveals the Pathways Potentially Involved in Follicular Development"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5741-5827","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shujuan","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Animal Science, Anhui Science and Technology University, Chuzhou 233100, China"},{"name":"Anhui Province Key Laboratory of Animal Nutritional Regulation and Health, Chuzhou 233100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shiji","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Animal Science, Anhui Science and Technology University, Chuzhou 233100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yukang","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Animal Science, Anhui Science and Technology University, Chuzhou 233100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuhao","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Animal Science, Anhui Science and Technology University, Chuzhou 233100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dengxu","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Animal Science, Anhui Science and Technology University, Chuzhou 233100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Huiyu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Animal Science, Anhui Science and Technology University, Chuzhou 233100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wenju","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Animal Science, Anhui Science and Technology University, Chuzhou 233100, China"},{"name":"Anhui Engineering Technology Research Center of Pork Quality Control and Enhance, Chuzhou 233100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1210\/er.2014-1020","article-title":"Intraovarian control of early folliculogenesis","volume":"36","author":"Hsueh","year":"2015","journal-title":"Endocr.
