DNA methylation and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) exhibit an indispensable role in follicular development. However, the specific mechanisms regarding lncRNAs mediated by DNA methylation in follicular development remain unclearly. In this study, we found that inhibiting the expression of DNMT1 promoted granulosa cells (GCs) apoptosis to inhibit follicular development. A novel follicular development-associated lncRNA named inhibitory factor of follicular development (IFFD) was mediated by DNMT1 and showed to arrest follicular development by inhibiting GCs proliferation and estrogen (E2) secretion but promoting GCs apoptosis. Mechanistically, the deactivated Cas9-TET1 demonstrated that the hypomethylation in -1261/-1254 region of IFFD promoted the transcription of IFFD by recruiting SP1. IFFD induced the expression of GLI family zinc finger 1 through competitive binding miR-370, thereby up-regulating the expression of CASP3 to promote GCs apoptosis, as well as downregulating the expressions of PCNA and CYP19A1 to inhibit GCs proliferation and E2 secretion. Collectively, DNMT1-mediated IFFD might be a novel target for the regulation of follicular development.
