Abstract
The rete ovarii (RO) is an epithelial structure that arises during development in close proximity to the ovary and persists throughout adulthood. However, the functional significance of the RO remains elusive, and it is absent from recent discussions of female reproductive anatomy. The RO comprises three regions: the intraovarian rete within the ovary, the extraovarian rete in the periovarian tissue, and the connecting rete linking the two. We hypothesize that the RO plays a pivotal role in ovarian homeostasis and responses to physiological changes. To begin to uncover the nature and function of RO cells, we conducted transcriptomic profiling of the RO. This study presents three datasets, and reports our analysis and quality control approaches for bulk, single-cell, and nucleus-level transcriptomics of the fetal and adult RO tissues using the Pax8-rtTA; Tre-H2B-GFP mouse line, where all RO regions express nuclear GFP. The integration and rigorous validation of these datasets will advance our understanding of the RO’s roles in ovarian development, female maturation, and adult female fertility.
