    Cumulus cells play a crucial role in the oocyte growth and maturation processes through providing necessary nutrients and growth signals by gap junction communication. However, a global overview of metabolic events in goat cumulus cells is still lacking. In the present study, we collected cumulus cells from goat cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) at different developmental stages. Metabolomics analysis was performed to investigate the global metabolic patterns in cumulus cells during oocyte in vitro maturation. In particular, we revealed the several significantly altered metabolic pathways and metaboliccharacteristics in goat cumulus cells, including the accumulation of fatty acids, steroid hormones metabolism, active catabolism of arginine during meiotic resumption, and a progressive decline in nucleotide metabolism. In conclusion, the dataset generated by our metabolomic profiling will provide valuable information to understand the key metabolic pathways and metabolites involved in COCs development.
