Follicular fluid (FF) ensures a safe environment for oocyte growth and maturation inside the ovarian follicle in mammals. In each cycle, the large dominant follicle (LF) contains the oocyte designated to be ovulated, whereas the small subordinate follicles (SFs) of the same wave will die through atresia. In cows, the oocytes from the SF, being 2 mm in size, are suitable for in vitro reproduction biotechnologies, and their competence in developing an embryo depends on the size of the follicles. FF contains proteins, metabolites, fatty acids, and a multitude of extracellular vesicles (ffEVs) of different origins, which may influence oocyte competence through bidirectional exchanges of specific molecular cargo between follicular cells and enclosed oocytes. FF composition evolves along with follicle growth, and the abundance of different lipids varies between the LF and SF. Here, significant differences in FF lipid content between the LFs and SFs within the same ovary were demonstrated by MALD-TOF mass spectrometry imaging on bovine ovarian sections. We then aimed to enlighten the lipid composition of FF, and MALDI-TOF lipid profiling was performed on cellular, vesicular, and liquid fractions of FF. Differential analyses on the abundance of detected lipid features revealed specific enrichment of phospholipids in different ffEV types, such as microvesicles (MVs) and exosomes (Exo), compared to depleted FF. MALDI-TOF lipid profiling on MVs and Exo from the LF and SF samples (n = 24) revealed that more than 40% of detected features were differentially abundant between the groups of MVs and Exo from the different follicles (p < 0.01, fold change > 2). Glycerophospholipid and sphingolipid features were more abundant in ffEVs from the SFs, whereas different lysophospholipids, including phosphatidylinositols, were more abundant in the LFs. As determined by functional analysis, the specific lipid composition of ffEVs suggested the involvement of vesicular lipids in cell signaling pathways and largely contributed to the differentiation of the dominant and subordinate follicles.
