The peripheral blood transcriptome identifies dysregulation of inflammatory response genes in polycystic ovary syndrome

ABSTRACT: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder in women resulting in ovulation failure and other metabolic problems. However, the underlying mechanisms of it remain largely uncertain due to its complexity of clinical manifestations. Since PCOS is believed as a systemic disorder involved endocrine, metabolism, immune system and many organs, we therefore want to know what happen in the peripheral blood of patients with PCOS. To this purpose, gene expression patterns of peripheral blood from 10 PCOS patients and 10 healthy women were profiled by microarray. The significance analysis of microarray (SAM) software was employed to screen the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and gene ontology (GO) was used for functional enrichment analysis. Also, quantitative reverse-transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed to confirm the results from microarray. 181 DEGs with a fold change >2.0 and q-value <0.05 were identified between the groups. Of these genes, 149 were up-regulated and 32 down-regulated in PCOS. Importantly, 14 genes associated with inflammatory response pathway were highly enriched in PCOS. Furthermore, qPCR assays validated the dysregulated inflammatory response genes. Our observation reinforces the hypothesis that PCOS is characterized by the presence of systemic inflammatory changes and inflammation is implicated in the pathogenesis of this entity. Further elucidation of the aberrant expression of inflammation-related genes how to affect the pathogenesis of PCOS may lead to the development of novel preventative and therapeutic strategies.

Gene expression in rat ovaries treated with DHT

Project description:Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder of the reproductive and metabolic axis in women during the reproductive age. In this study, we used a rat model exhibiting reproductive and metabolic abnormalities similar to human PCOS to unravel the molecular mechanisms underlining this complex syndrome. Female Sprague-Dawley rats were implanted with a silicone capsule continuous-releasing 5Î±-dehydrotestestrone (DHT) per day for 12 weeks to mimic the hyperandrogenic state in women with PCOS, and the control (CTL) groups received an empty capsule. The animals were euthanized at 15 weeks of age and the ovarian cortex tissues of both groups were used for transcriptome profile analysis.

Alternative Splicing Variants of Androgen Receptor Altered insulin resistance Gene expression in Human Ovarian Granulosa Cell

Project description:Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine disorder, of which the morbidity among women aging from 18 to 44 years old can be as high as 10%. Insulin resistance is an important characteristic of PCOS and affects approximately 65-70% of women with PCOS. Our previous work identified two AR alternative splicing variants (ASVs) in human granulosa cells (hGCs), Insertion (Ins) and deletion (Del) isoforms, takes up 62% of PCOS specifically. Both isoforms display altered genome-wide recruited genes and genes expressions which are tightly associated with steroidogenesis, folliculogenesis and ovulation. However, the molecular regulatory mechanism of ASVs in hGCs of insulin resistance needs to be illustrated.

Enhanced Inflammatory Transcriptome in the Granulosa Cells of Women With Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

Project description:Context: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), the most common endocrine disorder of reproductive- aged women, is associated with systemic low-grade inflammation. Objective: We propose that increased or altered intrafollicular inflammatory reactions also occur in periovulatory follicles of PCOS patients. Design: Gene profiling and quantitative PCR (qPCR) analyses in granulosa-lutein cells (GCs) collected from PCOS and non-PCOS women undergoing in vitro fertilization were compared with serum and follicular fluid (FF) levels of cytokines and chemokines. Setting: This was a university-based study. Patients: Twenty-one PCOS and 45 control patients were recruited: demographic, hormone, body mass index, and pregnancy outcomes were abstracted from patient data files. Interventions:GCcytokine/chemokinemRNAswere identified and analyzed by gene-chip microarrays/ qPCR before and after culture withhumanchorionic gonadotropin, DHT, IL-6, or IL-8; serum/FF cytokine levels were also analyzed. Main Outcome Measures: Relative serum/FF cytokine levels and GC cytokine expression before and after culture were compared and related to body mass index. Results: The following results were found: 1) PCOS GCs express elevated transcripts encoding cytokines, chemokines, and immune cell markers, 2) based on gene profiling and qPCR analyses, obese PCOS patients define a distinct PCOS disease subtype with the most dramatic increases in proinflammatory and immune-related factors, and 3) human chorionic gonadotropin and DHT increased cytokine production in cultured GCs, whereas cytokines augmented cytokine and vascular genes, indicating that hyperandrogenism/elevated LH and obesity in PCOS women augment intrafollicular cytokine production. Conclusions: Intrafollicular androgens and cytokines likely comprise a local regulatory loop that impacts GC expression of cytokines and chemokines and the presence of immune cells; this loop is further enhanced in the obese PCOS subtype.

Proteomic changes in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle in women with PCOS

Project description:Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine and metabolic disorder affecting women of reproductive age. The main features of PCOS are hyperandrogenism and irregular menstrual cycles together with metabolic dysfunctions including abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia and an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Despite the high prevalence of >15%, the pathophysiology of the syndrome is unclear. Gene expression array data from skeletal muscle and adipose tissue have provided some information about dysregulated metabolic pathways in women with PCOS, but the transcriptomic data need to be verified by proteomics to advance our understanding of PCOS. Skeletal muscle and adipose tissue biopsies from 10 women with PCOS and 10 controls were subjected to global proteomic analysis. Protein expression differences between cases and controls were based on Student’s t-test and corrected for multiple testing. In total, we identified 5000 proteins in adipose tissue and 3480 proteins in skeletal muscle. After correction for multiple testing, 74 proteins with q < 0.05 corresponding to 72 unique proteins were found to be differentially expressed in adipose tissue from women with PCOS versus controls. And, 123 proteins with q < 0.05 corresponding to 120 unique proteins were found to be differentially expressed in skeletal muscle from women with PCOS versus control. We then applied pathway analysis to the total protein and phosphopeptide data using PRISM and Enrichr.

Immune dysfunction mediated by the competitive endogenous RNA network in fetal side placental tissue of polycystic ovary syndrome

Project description:Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a commonly occurring endocrine and metabolic disorder that impacts women in their reproductive years. Emerging evidence suggests that the maternal-fetal immune system is crucial for proper pregnancy. However, whether immune function is altered during pregnancy in PCOS women and the underlying molecular mechanisms is currently unexplored. Herein, the basic maternal immune system was investigated (n = 136 in the control group; n = 103 in the PCOS group), and whole-transcriptome sequencing was carried out to quantify the mRNAs, miRNAs, and lncRNAs expression levels in fetal side placental tissue of women with PCOS. GO, KEGG, and GSEA analysis were employed for functional enrichment analysis. The process of identifying hub genes was conducted utilizing the PPI network. CIBERSORT and Connectivity Map were deployed to determine immune cell infiltration and predict potential drugs, respectively. A network of mRNA-miRNA-lncRNA was constructed and then validated by qRT-PCR.
