中文摘要：

Based on published sequences for chicken Bcl-2,three siRNAs（small interfering RNA）were designed,and expression vectors were constructed and transfected into goose granulosa cells cultured in vitro.Bcl-2 protein,apoptosis and proliferation of granulosa cells,48 h after the transf ection,were analyzed by flow cytometry,and progesterone（P）secreted into the culture medium was measured by radioimmunoassay.In addition,apoptosis and Bcl-2 protein level were assessed in untreated granulosa cells from the four largest preovulatory follicles（F₁^F₄）,the smallest preovulatory follicles（SPF）,small yellow follicles（SYF）and atretic follicles.The highest level of Bcl-2 protein was observed in granulosa cells from SPF,and levels in cells from healthy follicles were significantly higher than those of atretic follicles（P【0.05）.Bcl-2 protein levels in cells subjected to RNAi were significantly lower than those of controls（P【0.05）,while apoptosis indices（AI）,proliferation indices（PI）and P secretion in the RNAi treatments were higher than those of controls（P【0.05）.
