Zhou M, Niu H, Chen R, Chen W, Cui D. Gui ShenWan prevent premature ovarian insufficiency by modulating autophagy and angiogenesis via facilitating VDR. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 326:117955. [PMID: 38395181 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2024.117955] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2024] [Revised: 02/16/2024] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Gui Shen Wan (GSW) stands out as a promising therapeutic approach for addressing Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI). With deep roots in traditional medicine, GSW highlights the ethnopharmacological significance of herbal interventions in addressing nuanced aspects of women's health, with a specific emphasis on ovarian functionality. Recognizing the importance of GSW in gynecological contexts resonates with a rich tradition of using botanical formulations to navigate the intricacies of reproductive health. Delving into GSW's potential for treating POI emphasizes the crucial role of ethnopharmacological insights in guiding modern research endeavors. AIM OF THE STUDY GSW is extensively utilized in gynecological disorders and has recently emerged as a potential therapeutic approach for POI. The present investigation aimed to assess the efficacy of GSW in treating POI in rats and elucidate its underlying molecular mechanisms. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study employed GSW for POI treatment in rats. GSW, prepared as pills, underwent HPLC fingerprinting for quality control. Reagents and drugs, including VCD and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), were sourced from reputable providers. Eighty Sprague-Dawley rats were categorized into groups for POI induction and treatment. Ovarian tissue underwent HE staining, immunohistochemical staining, Western Blot, qRT-PCR, and vaginal secretion testing. ELISA was utilized for target molecule detection. This methodology ensures a robust and reliable experimental framework. RESULTS The results highlight a robust collaborative improvement in POI among rats subjected to combined GSW and DHEA treatment. Particularly noteworthy is the substantial enhancement in the expression of vascular regeneration-related molecules-VDR-Klotho-VEGFR-accompanied by a significant elevation in autophagy levels. Post-GSW administration, rat ovarian morphology demonstrated increased stability, hormone levels exhibited more consistent maintenance, and there was a marked reduction in inflammatory response compared to other groups (p < 0.01). Furthermore, GSW intervention resulted in a more pronounced upregulation of ovarian autophagy (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION By modulating VDR-Klotho signaling, GSW exerts regulatory control over ovarian autophagy and vascular regeneration, thereby mitigating the occurrence and progression of POI in rats.

Abstract
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble steroid hormone that was initially known only for regulating calcium and phosphorus levels and maintaining bone health. However, it was later discovered that many organs express vitamin D metabolizing enzymes and have a ligand for vitamin D, which regulates the expression of an extensive assortment of genes. As a result, vitamin D is indispensable for the proper function of organs, and its deficiency is believed to be a critical factor in symptoms and disorders such as cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune diseases, and cancers. The significance of vitamin D in reproductive tissues was recognized later, and studies have revealed its crucial role in male and female fertility, as well as proper reproductive function during pregnancy. Vitamin D deficiency has been identified as a risk factor for infertility, gonadal cancers, pregnancy complications, polycystic ovary syndrome, and endometriosis. However, data investigating the association between vitamin D levels and reproductive disorders, including endometriosis, have encountered inconsistencies. Therefore, the present study aims to review existing research on the effect of vitamin D on proper reproductive function, and the role of deficiency in reproductive diseases and specifically focuses on endometriosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine-reproductive disease linked not just to infertility but also to serious comorbidities. There is a reported association between low vitamin D levels and multiple health conditions including PCOS. This narrative review aims to analyze the role of vitamin D in PCOS development, use of the vitamin D in the treatment of PCOS, and the molecular basis of these observations. METHODS A Medline and PubMed research was performed, during the years 1990-2023, using a combination of keywords on such topic. According to the author's evaluation and target, papers were identified and included for a narrative review. RESULTS There are associations between lower levels of vitamin D and PCOS, as well as with insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, hyperandrogenemia, metabolic and endocrine disorders as well as the onset of oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory milieu, in PCOS women. CONCLUSION Vitamin D has a role in pathologic changes linked to PCOS. Molecular and clinical investigations which give new information about the role of vitamin D in the development of PCOS and related endocrine and metabolic disturbance are further needed.

Abstract
Background Published data on the relationship between polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and thyroid dysfunction are sparse and confusing. Objective To comprehensively review data available in the literature regarding the relationship between PCOS and the thyroid function, and its abnormalities. Methods Nine main areas of interest were identified and analyzed according to the available evidence: 1) Evaluation of thyroid function for PCOS diagnosis; 2) Epidemiology data on thyroid function/disorders in patients with PCOS, and vice versa; 3) Experimental data supporting the relationship between thyroid function/disorders and PCOS; 4) Effects of thyroid function/disorders on PCOS features, and vice versa; 5) Effect of thyroid alterations on the cardiometabolic risk in women with PCOS; 6) Effect of thyroid abnormalities on reproductive outcomes in women with PCOS; 7) Relationship between thyroid function/abnormalities in patients with PCOS who are undergoing fertility treatment; 8) Effect of treatments for thyroid diseases on PCOS; and 9) Effect of treatments for PCOS on thyroid function. An extensive literature search for specific keywords was performed for articles published from 1970 to March 2023 using PubMed and Web of Science. Data were reported in a narrative fashion. Results PCOS is a diagnosis of exclusion for which diagnosis is possible only after excluding disorders that mimic the PCOS phenotype, including thyroid dysfunctions. However, the tests and the cutoff values used for this are not specified. Many experimental and clinical data suggest a relationship between perturbations of the thyroid function and PCOS. Direct and unequivocal evidence on the effects of thyroid function/disorders on PCOS features are lacking. High thyroid-stimulating hormone levels and subclinical hypothyroidism may be associated with significant worsening of several intermediate endpoints of cardiometabolic risk in women with PCOS. Thyroid abnormalities may worsen reproductive outcomes, especially in patients undergoing fertility treatment. To date, there are no data demonstrating the efficacy of thyroid medications on fertility and cardiometabolic risk in women with PCOS. Lifestyle modification changes, metformin, and vitamin D seem to improve thyroid function in the general population. Conclusion PCOS and thyroid disorders are closely related, and their coexistence may identify patients with a higher reproductive and metabolic risk. Regular screening for thyroid function and thyroid-specific autoantibodies in women with PCOS, particularly before and during pregnancy, is highly recommended.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrinopathy in women. This study was designed to investigate the associations of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene variants with PCOS risk and the severity of the disease phenotype among Egyptian women. METHODS In this study, 185 women with PCOS and 207 fertile women as controls were recruited. Cases were divided into phenotype groups based on their clinical and paraclinical features. Clinical and laboratory data were measured in the patient and control groups. All individuals were genotyped for nine single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located across the VDR gene using TaqMan allelic discrimination real-time polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS Women with PCOS were significantly (P ≤ 0.001) higher body mass index (BMI) (22.77 ± 2.5) than controls (21.68 ± 1.85 kg/m2). Women with PCOS had significantly higher anti-Mullerian hormone, prolactin, luteinizing hormone (LH), LH/follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), free testosterone, total testosterone, and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate levels than the control group (P ≤ 0.001). The level of FSH was significantly lower in women with PCOS than in the control group (P ≤ 0.001). Analysis of the VDR rs4516035, rs2107301, rs1544410 (BsmI), and rs731236 (TaqI) SNPs showed a significant association with PCOS phenotype A. Furthermore, rs2228570 (FokI), rs3782905, rs7975232 (ApaI), and rs739837 SNPs showed a significant association with PCOS phenotype C. Furthermore, rs11568820 SNP showed a significant association with PCOS phenotype D (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The findings of this study indicate that variations in the VDR gene were associated with an increased risk of PCOS in Egyptian women.

Abstract
Rec ent studies have suggested a closer association between angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene polymorphisms and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) risk, but the results were inconsistent. We conducted this meta-analysis to explore the precise associations between ACE gene I/D polymorphism and PCOS risk. Online electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, SCI index, CNKI, and Wanfang) were searched. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence interval (CIs) were calculated to assess the association between ACE gene I/D polymorphism and PCOS risk. In addition, heterogeneity, accumulative/sensitivity analysis, and publication bias were conducted to check the statistical power. Overall, 12 published case-control studies with 2248 patients and 1759 controls were included according to the criteria. Significant increased risk was found for PCOS susceptibility with I/D mutation (D vs. I: OR = 1.62, 95%CI = 1.24-2.11, P < 0.01, I2 = 86.1%; DD vs. II: OR = 2.10, 95%CI = 1.35-3.27, P < 0.01, I2 = 79.8%; ID + DD vs. II: OR = 1.57, 95%CI = 1.06-2.32, P = 0.02, I2 = 79.3%; DD vs. II + ID: OR = 1.91, 95%CI = 1.39-2.65, P < 0.01, I2 = 79.1%). Furthermore, some similar associations were also observed in subgroups. In summary, the current evidences indicated that ACE gene I/D polymorphism plays an important role in PCOS development, both in Asian and Caucasian descendants.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most prevalent endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. Vitamin D and its receptor are thought to play an important role in PCOS susceptibility, although the impact of vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms on the hormonal and metabolic profile is still controversial. A literature search in PubMed and Embase was performed up to September 2020 for case-control studies in women suffering from PCOS, with outcome related to VDR polymorphisms effect on metabolic/endocrine disturbances. We have found 16 eligible studies including 2566 women with PCOS and 2430 controls. ApaI polymorphism seemed to be associated with hyperandrogenism in both Asian and Caucasian population. FokI variant was correlated with metabolic/endocrine parameters especially in Asian population, while a relation between Cdx2 genotypes and insulin sensitivity was observed in both ethnicities. VDR polymorphisms have an important role in PCOS development and related hormonal and metabolic abnormalities. Few case-control studies analysed the interaction between VDR variants and metabolic/endocrine parameters with the majority of the articles focused on the Asian region. Further research on various ethnic populations with larger sample size are still needed for a definitive conclusion, in order to allow early diagnosis and prevention of PCOS comorbidities.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common gynecological endocrine disease, involving multiple genes, multiple pathways, and complex hormone secretion processes. Hence, the pathogenesis of PCOS cannot be explained by a single factor. Omics analysis includes genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics, which are fast and effective methods for studying the pathogenesis of diseases. PCOS is primarily characterized by androgen excess, and reproductive and metabolic dysfunctions. The application of omics analysis in the body fluids, blood, cells or tissues of women with PCOS offers the potential for unexpected molecular advantages in explaining new mechanisms of PCOS etiology and pathophysiology, and provides new perspectives for identifying potential biomarkers and developing new therapeutic targets. At present, several omics analyses have been applied to produce complex datasets. In this manuscript, the recent advances in omics research on PCOS are summarized, aiming at an important and parallel review of the newly published research.

Abstract
Our understanding of vitamin D has improved considerably in recent years. The role of vitamin D in preventing osteoporotic fractures is now well-established. However, an important controversy has emerged in the last decade concerning the effects of the active form of vitamin D (1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D) on tissues other than bone (non-classical effects). The demonstration that the vitamin D receptor (VDR) is ubiquitously, expressed combined with increasing observational data supporting a relationship between the level of 25-hydroxy-vitamin D in the serum and chronic metabolic disorders, cardiovascular disease and neoplasms, have led to its redefinition as a steroid hormone and the proposal of its use in preventing and/or treating those diseases. This article is an update on the different non-bone or non-classical effects of "vitamin-hormone D", and its potential preventive or therapeutic role in certain diseases, however, this review is not exhaustive. The different modalities of substitution or supplementation proposed in France by the Groupe de Recherche et d'Information sur les Ostéoporoses (GRIO) are also summarised.

Abstract
MiR-26 has been suggested to play a tumor-suppressive role in cancer development, which could be influenced by the mutate pri-miR-26ª-1. Molecular epidemiological studies have demonstrated some inconsistent associations between pri-miR-26ª-1 rs7372209 C>T polymorphism and cancer risk. We therefore performed this meta-analysis with multivariate statistic method to comprehensively evaluate the associations between rs7372209 C>T polymorphism and cancer risk. Eleven publications involving 6,709 patients and 6,514 controls were identified. Multivariate analysis indicated that the over-dominant genetic model was most likely. Pooled results indicated no significant association in the overall population (CC+TT vs. CT: OR=1.08, 95%CI=0.96-1.22, P=0.20, I2=54.4%), as well as the subgroup analysis according to ethnicity, control source, tumor locations, and HWE status of controls. In addition, heterogeneity, accumulative, sensitivity analysis, publication bias and trial sequential analysis (TSA) were conducted to test the statistical power. Overall, our results indicated that the pri-miR-26a-1 rs7372209 C>T polymorphism may not be a potential risk for cancer development.

Abstract
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) in reproductive-aged women is identified to be one of the endocrine disorders. This heterogeneous disorder is categorized through oligo-anovulation and hyperandrogenemia. National institutes of health and Rotterdam criterions were used to diagnose PCOS women. Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is one of the complications in PCOS which is connected through insulin resistance (IR), which is a condition in which liver, muscles and fat infrequently respond to the hormones, and this leads to extreme IR and consequently leads to T2D disease. PCOS is inherited by the autosomal dominant mode of inheritance and may also with the different intricate patterns. Till now, many studies have been performed in PCOS with the genes identified by T2D and till now no studies have shown the similar genetic association and pathophysiology between both the diseases. So, the current review aims to investigate the genetic relation between PCOS and T2D and why both the diseases cannot be reverted. In this review, published data were screened with the T2D related genes and single nucleotide polymorphisms in PCOS women. The case-control, hospital-based and meta-analysis molecular studies disclosed both positive and negative connotations. Genetically, no relationship has been established between PCOS and T2D. Maximum studies have shown as PCOS women had developed T2D later in life because as a risk-factor, but none of the studies documented T2D women having developed PCOS as a risk factor. Apart from this, the disease PCOS is developed in women with reproductive age and T2D develops in both the men and women during adulthood. This review concludes as there is a genetic relation only in between PCOS and T2D, but not with T2D to PCOS and further it cannot be explicitly reverted from T2D to PCOS.

Reprod Biomed Online 2019; 40:287-295. [PMID: 31956063 DOI: 10.1016/j.rbmo.2019.10.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2019] [Revised: 10/09/2019] [Accepted: 10/31/2019] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays important roles in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of the VEGF gene have been identified and are associated with the aberrant secretion of VEGF protein. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the impact of the VEGF +405G>C (rs2010963), -460C>T (rs833061) and -2578A>C (rs699947) polymorphisms on PCOS susceptibility. A systematic search of the Embase, PubMed, Web of Science and Wanfang databases was carried out to identify relevant studies published before 19 July 2019. Seven eligible studies were included in this meta-analysis involving 1100 patients with PCOS and 1141 control individuals. The pooled analysis revealed no significant association between PCOS risk and the +405G>C (rs2010963), -460C>T (rs833061) or -2578A>C (rs699947) polymorphisms in women. Subgroup analysis by ethnicity indicated that Asian women carrying the VEGF +405C allele had a lower risk of PCOS (C versus G: odds ratio [OR] 0.731, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.544-0.982, P < 0.05, I2 = 46.4%; CG versus GG: OR 0.667, 95% CI 0.469-0.948, P < 0.05, I2 = 18.4%; CC versus GG: OR 0.611, 95% CI 0.390-0.958, P < 0.05, I2 = 24.3%). The study demonstrates that for all women regardless of ethnicity, no significant associations between VEGF SNP and PCOS were observed; however, +405G>C (rs2010963) may protect Asian women from PCOS.
