Construction of a ceRNA network in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) driven by exosomal lncRNA.

ABSTRACT: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a common and frustrating syndrome in women of reproductive age, is characterized by symptoms including hyperandrogenemia, ovulation dysfunction, and polycystic ovaries. The role of competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks is receiving increasing attention and has been reported in multiple complicated diseases, such as various carcinomas, endometriosis, and tubal factor infertility. However, the association of ceRNA networks with the pathogenesis of PCOS remains unclear. This study aimed to construct a ceRNA network orchestrated by exosomal lnRNA and circRNA in PCOS. We screened RNA data of 34 samples from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database for differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs), miRNAs (DEMs), mRNAs (DEGs), and circRNA associated with the p
