[PMID: 35747760 PMCID: PMC9213205 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2155018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2021] [Revised: 02/08/2022] [Accepted: 05/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that affects 5-20% of women of reproductive age. Interestingly, serum miR-124-3p and ANGPTL2 are differentially expressed in PCOS patients. Accordingly, this study set out to explore the clinical roles of serum miR-124-3p/ANGPTL2 in PCOS. Firstly, miR-124-3p/ANGPTL2 expression patterns were detected in the serum of 102 PCOS patients and 100 healthy subjects. miR-124-3p or/and ANGPTL2 diagnostic efficacy on PCOS was further analyzed, in addition to the measurement of lipid metabolism, glucose metabolism, sex hormone indexes, and inflammation levels. Correlations between serum miR-124-3p/ANGPTL2 expressions and age, BMI, Ferriman-Gallwey score, lipid metabolism, glucose metabolism, sex hormone indexes, TNF-α, and IL-6 in PCOS patients were determined. The expression correlation and binding relationship of ANGPTL2 and miR-124-3p were identified. In addition, miR-124-3p was downregulated and ANGPTL2 was upregulated in the serum of obese and nonobese PCOS patients. miR-124-3p expression was found to be negatively correlated with Ferriman-Gallwey score and serum total testosterone (T), and negatively related to prolactin (PRL). ANGPTL2 expression was positively correlated with FNS and inversely linked with PRL. TNF-α and IL-6 were negatively correlated with miR-124-3p, but positively correlated with ANGPTL2. Furthermore, there was a negative correlation and a targeting relationship between ANGPTL2 and miR-124-3p expression in the serum of obese and nonobese PCOS patients. Collectively, our findings indicated that miR-124-3p might target ANGPTL2 expression in obese and nonobese PCOS patients, and further underscored the diagnostic value of their combination.

[PMID: 34316229 PMCID: PMC8279058 DOI: 10.4103/jhrs.jhrs_179_20] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2020] [Revised: 02/05/2021] [Accepted: 03/01/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Even though angiopoeitin-2 and interleukin (IL)-23 are known to be altered in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), their association with clomiphene citrate (CC) resistance has not been studied. Aim: The objective of the study was to investigate whether angiopoietin-2 levels are associated with inflammation and CC resistance in PCOS. Settings and Design: This study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital. Materials and Methods: Eighty-one women diagnosed with PCOS and on treatment with CC were enrolled in the study. Angiopoeitin-2 and IL -23 were analyzed in all the subjects. Results: Angiopoietin-2 was significantly reduced (P = 0.018), and body mass index (BMI) (P = 0.049) and duration of infertility (0.006) were significantly increased in PCOS women with CC resistance compared to those who are sensitive to CC. In CC resistant PCOS, IL-23 predicts reduction in angiopoietin-2 levels (P = 0.010). Among angiopoietin-2, IL-23, BMI, and duration of infertility, we found that angiopoeitn-2 (P = 0.020) and duration of infertility (0.036) can predict resistance to CC therapy among PCOS subjects. Conclusion: We conclude that reduced angiopoietin-2 levels predict CC resistance in women with PCOS.

Abstract
Background This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of the follicular output rate (FORT) on the pregnancy outcome of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Material/Methods Between January 2012 and June 2016, a total of 1,541 patients with PCOS who underwent IVF-ET at our center were enrolled in the study. FORT was calculated as the pre-ovulatory follicle count (PFC)/antral follicle count (AFC)×100%. Results According to the FORT, patients were divided into low, medium, and high FORT groups. With an increase in the FORT, the PFC and serum estradiol at the day of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) injection, the number of retrieved oocytes, metaphase II (MII) oocytes, total number of embryos, and number of high-quality embryos significantly increased (P<0.05 and P<0.001) from the low to high FORT groups, while the AFC, gonadotropin (Gn) stimulation day, and total Gn decreased significantly (P<0.001). The live birth rate from frozen embryo transfer and the cumulative live birth rate was the lowest in middle FORT group but increased significantly in high FORT group (P<0.05). The correlation analysis between FORT and related factors showed that the FORT was negatively correlated with body mass index (BMI), Gn stimulation days, and total Gn (P<0.05). Conclusions FORT is a powerful tool for measuring ovarian reactivity. For patients with PCOS, a high FORT to obtain high-quality embryos and perform frozen embryo transplantation can achieve good pregnancy outcome.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disease in women of reproductive age. MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) serve important roles in the physiological and pathological process of PCOS. To identify PCOS-associated miRNAs, the dataset GSE84376 was extracted from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Differentially expressed miRNAs (DE-miRNAs) were obtained from Gene-Cloud Biotechnology Information and potential target genes were predicted using TargetScan, DIANA-microT-CDS, miRDB and miRTarBase tools. Gene Ontology enrichment analysis was performed using Metascape and a protein-protein interaction network was constructed using Cytoscape. Transcription factors were obtained from FunRich. DE-miRNAs were verified by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. At the screening phase, there were seven DE-miRNAs in the PCOS group not present in the control group. In total, 935 target genes were identified, which are involved in the development and maturation of oocytes. Mitogen-activated protein kinase 1, phosphatase and tensin homolog, cAMP responsive element binding protein 1, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3, interferon γ, Fms-related tyrosine kinase 1, transcription factor p65, insulin receptor substrate 1, DnaJ homolog superfamily C member 10 and casein kinase 2 α 1 were identified as the top 10 hub genes in the protein-protein interaction network. Specificity protein 1 was the most enriched transcription factor. At the validation phase, the levels of Homo sapiens (hsa)-miR-3188 and hsa-miR-3135b were significantly higher in the PCOS group than in the control group. In addition, the expression level of hsa-miR-3135b was significantly correlated with the number of oocytes retrieved, the fertilization rate and the cleavage rate (P<0.05). The present bioinformatics study on miRNAs may offer a novel understanding of the mechanism of PCOS, and may serve to identify novel miRNA therapeutic targets.

Serum Levels of Angiopoietin-Like Protein 2 and Obestatin in Iranian Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Normal Body Mass Index. J Clin Med 2018; 7:jcm7070159. [PMID: 29932432 PMCID: PMC6069096 DOI: 10.3390/jcm7070159] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2018] [Revised: 06/16/2018] [Accepted: 06/17/2018] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disease in women of reproduction age and a major cause of anovulatory infertility. Insulin resistance plays an important role in the development and durability of this disorder. ANGPTL2 is known as an inflammatory mediator derived from adipose tissue that links obesity to systemic insulin resistance, and obestatin has been identified as a hormone associated with insulin resistance that suppresses food reabsorption, inhibits gastric emptying and decreases weight gain. The aim of this study was to evaluate serum levels of ANGPTL2 and obestatin in PCOS women with normal body mass index (BMI). Methods: In this case-control study, 26 PCOS women based on the Rotterdam 2003 diagnostic criteria as the case group and 26 women with normal menstrual cycles as the control group were enrolled. Serum levels of ANGPTL2, obestatin, insulin and other hormone factors related with PCOS were measured by ELISA method and biochemical parameters were measured by an autoanalyzer. Data were analyzed by independent samples-T test, Chi Square, Correlation and a single sample Kolmogrov–Smirnov test using SPSS software, version 16. Results: There were no significant variations in the amount of ANGPTL2, obestatin, cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, cholesterol, creatinine and dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate between the two groups. There were significant increases in serum levels of fasting blood sugar (p = 0.01), insulin (p = 0.04), homeostasis model assessments of insulin resistance (p = 0.04), testosterone (p = 0.02), luteinizing hormone (p = 0.004), luteinizing hormone/follicle stimulating hormone (p = 0.006) and prolactin (p = 0.04) in case group compared to the control group. A significant positive correlation was observed between ANGPTL2 and insulin (p = 0.02), HOMA-IR (p = 0.01) and, on the other hand, a significant negative correlation was observed between obestatin and insulin (p = 0.01), HOMA-IR (p = 0.008) in PCOS group. Conclusions: In this study, no significant variations were observed in serum levels of ANGPTL2 and obestatin in PCOS women with normal BMI.

Abstract
An equilibrium needs to be established by the cellular and acellular components of the ovarian follicle if developmental competence is to be acquired by the oocyte. Both cumulus cells (CCs) and follicular fluid (FF) are critical determinants for oocyte quality. Understanding how CCs and FF influence oocyte quality in the presence of deleterious systemic or pelvic conditions may impact clinical decisions in the course of managing infertility. Given that the functional integrities of FF and CCs are susceptible to concurrent pathological conditions, it is important to understand how pathophysiological factors influence natural fertility and the outcomes of pregnancy arising from the use of assisted reproduction technologies (ARTs). Accordingly, this review discusses the roles of CCs and FF in ensuring oocyte competence and present new insights on pathological conditions that may interfere with oocyte quality by altering the intrafollicular environment.
