Analyzing the Transcriptome Profile of Human Cumulus Cells Related to Embryo Quality via RNA Sequencing

Figure 3

Differentially expressed genes in CCs from high-quality embryo compared with CCs from low-quality embryo as deduced from data derived from RNA sequencing studies. Group A, cumulus cells from high-quality oocytes on day 3 (n=3). Group B, cumulus cells from low-quality oocytes on day 3 (n=4). MSTN/GDF8: myostatin; CTGF: connective tissue growth factor; NDUFA1: ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit A1; VCAN: versican; SCD5: stearoyl-CoA desaturase 5; STAR: steroidogenic acute regulatory protein.
