Abstract
Obesity and diabetes are a problem of modern medicine. Although the environmental factors contributing to the development of these diseases are widely known, research into genetic factors is still ongoing. At the same time, the role of inflammation in the pathophysiology of obesity and diabetes is increasingly emphasized. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of two selected polymorphisms (rs1800795 and rs3842729) on the development of obesity and type 2 diabetes. In this study, 118 participants were examined, including a control group (nonobese and nondiabetic group), an obese group, and a diabetic group. Genotype analysis was performed using the PCR-RFLP method. It has been shown that in patients with the G/G genotype within the rs1800795 polymorphism (IL6), the chance of developing type 2 diabetes is several times lower compared to patients with the G/C and C/C genotypes. However, the rs3842729 polymorphism (INS) does not directly affect the risk of obesity or type 2 diabetes (T2D), although elevated insulin concentrations have been observed in obese and diabetic patients. These results confirm the impact of the rs1800795 polymorphism on the development of diabetes; however, this relationship is more complex and requires further research on other factors.

Insulin Receptor Substrate 1 Gly972Arg (rs1801278) Polymorphism Is Associated with Obesity and Insulin Resistance in Kashmiri Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13081463. [PMID: 36011374 PMCID: PMC9408134 DOI: 10.3390/genes13081463] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2022] [Revised: 06/22/2022] [Accepted: 06/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is commonly associated with metabolic abnormalities such as hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance and obesity. The genetic variants of genes regulating insulin action, expression and regulation are suggested as possible factors involved in development and severity of clinical manifestations in PCOS. Aim: We investigated whether IRS-1Gly972Arg (rs1801278) polymorphism is associated with increased risk of PCOS in Kashmiri women. The correlation of various clinical, metabolic and hormonal markers with rs1801278 single nucleotide polymorphism was analyzed. The genotypic−phenotypic association of clinical manifestations of PCOS with the tested genetic variant was also assessed. Results: There were no significant differences in allele frequency (OR = 0.87, CI = 0.59−1.29, χ2 = 0.456, p = 0.499) or genotypic distribution (χ2 = 3.73, p = 0.15) between PCOS women and controls. No significant association was also found in the dominant (OR = 1.63, χ2 = 0.377, p = 0.53), recessive (OR = 0.79, χ2 = 1.01, p = 0.31) or heterozygote vs. homozygote (OR = 1.34, χ2 = 1.53, p = 0.22) genotype model analysis. The genotype−phenotype correlation analysis showed that the Arg allele was significantly associated with increased central adiposity markers hip circumference (p = 0.012), and body adiposity index BAI (p = 0.002) in the recessive model in PCOS women. The two-hour glucose (p = 0.04) and insulin resistance marker HOMA (p = 0.44) were significantly higher in Arg allele carriers. The androgen excess markers dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate DHEAS (p = 0.02), Ferriman−Gallwey score (p = 0.012), prevalence of acne, alopecia and hirsutism (all p < 0.01) were significantly elevated in the wild-type GG genotype. Conclusions:IRS-1Gly972Arg genetic variant does not increase the risk of PCOS in Kashmiri women. However, this polymorphism is associated with clinical manifestations of insulin resistance, obesity and hyperandrogenism, suggesting its possible role in variable phenotypic manifestations of PCOS.

Family history of menstrual irregularity or diabetes mellitus enhances the susceptibility to polycystic ovary syndrome among subjects harboring rs7903146 genetic variant of TCF7L2. J Diabetes Metab Disord 2022; 21:769-776. [PMID: 35673429 DOI: 10.1007/s40200-022-01050-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2022] [Accepted: 04/24/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
Purpose TCF7L2 mediated Wnt signaling cascade regulates glucose homeostasis by orchestrating expression, processing, and hepatic clearance of insulin. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) significantly overlap in pathophysiological features with insulin resistance as a central driver. While TCF7L2 is the most potent T2DM locus, studies on the association of TCF7L2 with PCOS are limited and inconclusive. Therefore, in addition to expression profiling, the association of TCF7L2 polymorphic variant rs7903146 with PCOS was evaluated. Methods Using Rotterdam-2003 criteria for the diagnosis, 120 PCOS cases, and 120 age-matched controls were recruited. Subjects underwent clinical, biochemical, and hormonal assessment, followed by genotyping for rs7903146, carried out by PCR-RFLP and TCFL2 expression profiling by qRT-PCR. Genotype-phenotype correlation analysis was performed to evaluate any such associations. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were computed by conditional logistic regression. Results Higher odds of developing PCOS were observed in the women having a family history (FH) of either T2DM (OR = 3.86, 95% CI:1.90 - 7.83), hirsutism (OR = 4.74. 95%CI: 1.91 - 17.21) or menstrual irregularities (MI) (OR = 3.07, 95%CI: 1.61 - 8.54). The genotypes of rs7903146 did not confer any risk for developing PCOS (OR = 0.46;95%CI: 0.15 - 2.03). However, the elevated risk was seen in the subjects who harbored the variant allele and had FH of either T2DM (OR = 6.71; 95%CI: 1.89 - 23.78) or MI (OR = 9.71; 95% CI:1.89 - 23.78). Conclusion TCF7L2 polymorphic variant rs7903146 is not independently linked to PCOS risk, but modulates the risk in the subjects having a family history of either T2DM or MI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common reproductive, endocrine, and metabolic disorder in premenopausal women. Even though the pathophysiology of PCOS is complex and obscure, the disorder is prominently considered as the syndrome of hyperandrogenism. C-Terminal binding protein 1 antisense (CTBP1-AS) acts as a novel androgen receptor regulating long noncoding RNA (lncRNA). Therefore, the present study was aimed to establish the possible association of androgen receptor regulating long noncoding RNA CTBP1-AS with PCOS. METHODS A total of 178 subjects including 105 PCOS cases and 73 age-matched healthy controls were recruited for the study. The anthropometric, hormonal, and biochemical parameters of all subjects were analyzed. Total RNA was isolated from peripheral venous blood and expression analysis was done by quantitative real-time PCR. The correlation analysis was performed to evaluate the association between and various clinical parameters and lncRNA CTBP1-AS expression. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION The mean expression level of CTBP1-AS was found to be significantly higher in the PCOS women than in the healthy controls (-lnCTBP1-AS, 4.23 ± 1.68 versus 1.24 ± 0.29, P < 0.001). Furthermore, subjects with higher expression level of CTBP1-AS had significantly higher risk of PCOS compared to subjects with low levels of CTBP1-AS expression (actual OR = 11.36, 95% CI = 5.59-23.08, P < 0.001). The area under receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was 0.987 (SE 0.006, 95% CI 0.976-0.99). However, lncRNA CTBP1-AS was found to have no association with different clinical characteristics of PCOS. In conclusion, androgen receptor coregulating lncRNA CTBP1-AS is associated with PCOS women and high expression of CTBP1-AS is a risk factor for PCOS in Kashmiri women.

Pathophysiologic Mechanisms of Insulin Secretion and Signaling-Related Genes in Etiology of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. Genet Res (Camb) 2021; 2021:7781823. [PMID: 34949963 PMCID: PMC8668318 DOI: 10.1155/2021/7781823] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2021] [Revised: 11/06/2021] [Accepted: 11/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrinopathy in women. PCOS is characterized by anovulation, hyperandrogenism, polycystic ovaries, insulin resistance, and obesity. Despite the finding that the genetic origin of PCOS is well demonstrated in previous twin and familial clustering studies, genes and factors that can exactly explain the PCOS pathophysiology are not known. Objective(s). In this review, we attempted to identify genes related to secretion and signaling of insulin aspects of PCOS and their physiological functions in order to explain the pathways that are regulated by these genes which can be a prominent function in PCOS predisposition. Materials and Methods. For this purpose, published articles and reviews dealing with genetic evaluation of PCOS in women from peer-reviewed journals in PubMed and Google Scholar databases were included in this review. Results. The genomic investigations in women of different populations identified many candidate genes and loci that are associated with PCOS. The most important of them are INSR, IRS1-2, MTNR1A, MTNR1B, THADA, PPAR-γ2, ADIPOQ, and CAPN10. These are mainly associated with metabolic aspects of PCOS. Conclusions. In this review, we proposed that each of these genes may interrupt specific physiological pathways by affecting them and contribute to PCOS initiation. It is clear that the role of genes involved in insulin secretion and signaling is more critical than other pathways.

Clinical Manifestations of Hyperandrogenism and Ovulatory Dysfunction Are Not Associated with His1058 C/T SNP (rs1799817) Polymorphism of Insulin Receptor Gene Tyrosine Kinase Domain in Kashmiri Women with PCOS. Int J Endocrinol 2021; 2021:7522487.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine metabolic disorder affecting premenopausal women. Besides primary features like anovulation, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovaries, women with PCOS present with multiple metabolic, cardiovascular, and psychological disorders. The etiology is multifactorial and the different genetic variants are suggested to play an important role in pathogenesis. Insulin resistance is a ubiquitous finding in PCOS and SNPs in genes involved in the insulin signaling pathway are possible candidates that can explain the development of clinical manifestations of PCOS. AIM We aimed to investigate the association of INSR His1058 C/T (rs1799817) single nucleotide polymorphism with PCOS in Kashmiri women. The genotypic-phenotypic correlation of the tested SNP with hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction, and metabolic markers was evaluated. RESULTS The allele frequency (OR = 1.00, 95% CI = 0.67-1.48, χ 2 = 0.01, P=0.99) and genotype distribution (χ 2 = 3.73, P=0.15) in INSR C/T polymorphism were comparable with controls. No significant association was found with PCOS in dominant (P=0.194), recessive (P=0.442), and homo vs. het. (P=0.5) genotype models. Genotype-phenotype correlation analysis revealed that variant TT genotype had significantly higher HOMA (P=0.029) and reduced insulin sensitivity QUICKI (P=0.037) values. There was no significant variation in the prevalence of hirsutism, acne, alopecia, menstrual disturbances, acanthosis nigricans, and obesity (all P > 0.05) in different INSR C/T genotypes. CONCLUSION The INSR C/T SNP (rs1799817) does not increase the risk of PCOS in Kashmiri women. This SNP is unlikely to play a significant role in the development and manifestation of clinical symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common female endocrinopathy among premenopausal women associated with hyperandrogenism, obesity, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance and inflammation. Oxidative stress is an important component of cardio-metabolic risk seen in PCOS. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 95 women with PCOS and 95 healthy controls were included in this observational study. Serum PON1 activity and stress markers were measured by spectrophotometric methods. Circulating TF level was measured by ELISA. RESULTS We found decreased PON1 activity and increased TF levels in women with PCOS compared to healthy controls. Fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, testosterone, LDL-C, MDA, PC and SOD activity were significantly increased whereas FGIR, QUICKI, HDLC, CAT and TAC were significantly decreased in PCOS women than controls. We observed a positive association of PON1 activity with FGIR, QUICKI, HDL-C and TAC, and its negative association was observed with LH, testosterone, fasting insulin and HOMA-IR in PCOS women. We further observed a positive association of TF with waist, waist to hip ratio, BMI, glucose 1hr, cholesterol, LDL-C, SGPT, uric acid and SOD activity in PCOS women. CONCLUSIONS Decreased PON1 activity and raised circulating TF levels are respective indicators of pro-inflammatory and procoagulant status in PCOS women. The imbalanced oxidant/antioxidant status further supports the evidences that PCOS is an oxidant state. Further, the association of PON1 activity and TF levels with the clinical, laboratory findings and stress marker levels suggest that these factors taken together are involved in aggravating the pro-inflammatory status in PCOS women.
