Theca cell gene expression

ABSTRACT: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine and metabolic disorder that affects 5-10% of reproductive aged women. The hallmark characteristic of PCOS is increased ovarian androgen synthesis. Previous studies by our laboratory demonstrated that increased androgen synthesis is a stable biochemical phenotype of PCOS theca cells which are the primary source of ovarian androgen production. The increase in theca cell steroidogenesis was due to an increase in expression of several steroidogenic enzymes including CYP17 and CYP11A but not StAR. Interestingly, the anti-epileptic drug valproic acid induces increased theca cell androgen synthesis and increased CYP17 and CYP11A mRNA levels. In this study we have characterized the gene expression profiles of theca cells obtained from normal or polycystic ovaries which were maintained in the absence (UNT) or presence (VPA) of valproic acid. The data identifed new candidate genes and novel signaling pathways which may contribute to the manifestation of PCOS phenotypes including increased androgen production. The experiments in this study were carried using the Affymetrix U133A and U133B oligonucleotide chips. Keywords: other

Developmental Programming: Sheep Granulosa and Theca Cell-Specific Transcriptional Regulation by Prenatal Testosterone

Project description:Prenatal testosterone treated sheep, similar to PCOS women, manifest reduced cyclicity, functional hyperandrogenism and polycystic ovary (PCO) morphology. The PCO morphology results from increased follicular recruitment and persistence of antral follicles, consequence of reduced follicular growth and atresia, and driven by cell-specific gene expression changes that are poorly understood. Therefore, utilizing RNA sequencing, cell-specific transcriptional changes were assessed in laser capture microdissection isolated antral follicular granulosa and theca cells from 21 months-of- age control and prenatal testosterone treated sheep.

DENND1A Desensitizes Granulosa Cells to FSH by Arresting Intracellular FSHR Transportation

Project description:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)-associated loci, including DENND1A encoding a clathrin-binding protein involved in vesicle transport as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor. The effect of DENND1A on reproduction and whether it participates in follicle development disorder and androgen synthesis in PCOS remain unknown. Here, we demonstrated that DENND1A expression increased in ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) of PCOS patients and was positively correlated with serum testosterone concentration. We constructed a systemic transgenic Dennd1a mouse (TG mouse) model, which showed subfertility, irregular estrous cycles, and increased production of testosterone after PMSG stimulation. Moreover, TG mice showed hyporesponsiveness to PMSG with smaller ovary size and less well-developed follicles. Intracellular follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) transport was disturbed by overexpression of Dennd1a, which promoted FSHR internalization and inhibited its recycling. Our findings revealed the reproductive function of DENND1A and the underlying mechanisms, which provided new insights into the PCOS pathogenesis and contributing to drug design for PCOS treatment.

Expression data from human cumulus cells isolated from oocytes at MI and MII stages in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients

Project description:Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine and metabolic disorder that is characterized by increased circulating androgen levels, anovulatory infertility, and frequently, insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia.The abnormity of oocyte nuclear maturity is the main reason for anovulatory infertility and pregnancy loss in PCOS patients.The bidirectional exchanges between oocyte and contiguous CCs are important for oocyte competence acquisition, early embryonic development and CC expansion.Gene expression profiles of CCs has been suggested to predict embryo development and pregnancy outcome. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression of CCs isolated from oocytes at metaphase I (CCMI) and metaphase II (CCMII) stage under controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) cycle in PCOS patients. Cumulus cells were isolated from oocyte at stage metaphase 1(MI)and stage metaphase II (MII) of PCOS patients for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. For microarray analysis, we used three chips for each CC category. That is, CCMI1,CCMI2,CCMI3,CCMII1,CCMII2 and CCMII3.

Pathophysiology of androgen-associated endothelial cell dysfunction in phenotype A polycystic ovarian syndrome revealed by iPSCs modeling

Project description:Abundant evidence suggests that women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have increased metabolic aberrations and cardiovascular risks and present with signs of endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction. However, whether and how androgen is involved in the pathogenesis of EC dysfunction in PCOS remains unclear. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) were established in two PCOS patients and two control participants and further differentiated into ECs via monoculture under chemically defined conditions. Both PCOS patients were phenotype A (present with oligomenorrhea, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovarian morphology) and were diagnosed with metabolic syndrome. Single-cell transcriptomic analysis of the iPSC-derived ECs revealed functional differences involving the cell cycle process, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling and apoptosis between the PCOS and control groups. Decreased expression of cell proliferation and cell cycle related genes were noted in the PCOS iPSC-derived ECs. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) treatment significantly enhanced cell proliferation and angiogenic function in the control iPSC-derived ECs. In contrast, significantly deteriorated cell proliferation accompanied with diminished expression of androgen receptor/cyclin-dependent kinase 1/VEGF signaling pathway was shown in the PCOS iPSC-derived ECs after DHT treatment, alongside with impaired angiogenesis demonstrated by the tube formation and wound healing assay. In conclusion, disease-specific iPSCs were successfully established in phenotype A PCOS patients with metabolic syndrome and served as an effective platform for disease modeling in this specific subgroup. Both intrinsic and androgen-induced cellular proliferation and angiogenesis were significantly impaired in the PCOS iPSC-derived ECs, providing new pathogenic evidence for androgen-mediated EC dysfunction and possibly further cardiovascular consequences.

High-Fat High-Sugar Diet Induces Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in a Rodent Model

Project description:Obesity has been linked with a host of metabolic and reproductive disorders including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). While a distinct link exists between obesity and PCOS, the exact pathogenesis of the disease remains less understood and limited research has explored the impact of diet on the development of PCOS. With the primary symptoms of PCOS including hyperandrogenism, anovulation, and polycystic ovaries, most animal models utilize androgen treatment to effectively induce PCOS. However, these models fail to address the underlying causes of disease symptoms and do not effectively demonstrate the metabolic features of the disease such as hyperinsulinemia. Here, we present a novel rodent model of diet-induced obesity that recapitulates both the metabolic and reproductive phenotypes of human PCOS. In utilizing a high-fat high-sugar (HFHS) diet, we have created a model of PCOS that allows for the study of metabolic parameters and their impact on ovarian follicle development and reproductive health. Animals on the HFHS diet not only demonstrated signs of metabolic impairment, but they also developed polycystic ovaries and experienced irregular estrous cycling marked by an extended period spent in estrus. Though hyperandrogenism was not characteristic of HFHS diet animals as a group, testosterone levels were predictive of a polycystic ovarian morphology. Importantly, PCOS was induced similarly to the disease etiology in humans, allowing this model to offer the unique opportunity to study PCOS at its genesis rather than following the development of disease symptoms.

Microarray analysis of NL and PCOS oocytes

Project description:Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the most common cause of anovulatory infertility, is characterized by increased ovarian androgen production, arrested follicle development, and is frequently associated with insulin resistance. These PCOS phenotypes are associated with exaggerated ovarian responsiveness to FSH and increased pregnancy loss. To examine whether the perturbations in follicle growth and the intrafollicular environment affects development of the mature PCOS oocyte, genes that are differentially expressed in PCOS compared to normal oocytes were defined using microarray analysis. This analysis detected approximately 8000 transcripts. Hierarchical clustering and principal component analysis revealed differences in global gene expression profiles between normal and PCOS oocytes. 374 genes had a statistically-significant increase or decrease in mRNA abundance in PCOS oocytes. A subset of these genes was associated with chromosome alignment and segregation during mitosis and/or meiosis, suggesting that increased mRNAs for these proteins may negatively affect oocyte maturation and/or early embryonic development. Of the 374 differentially expressed genes, 68 contained putative androgen receptor, retinoic acid receptor, and/or peroxisome proliferating receptor gamma binding sites, including 9 of the genes involved in chromosome alignment and segregation. These analyses demonstrated that normal and PCOS oocytes that are morphologically indistinguishable and of high quality exhibit different gene expression profiles. Furthermore, altered mRNA levels in the PCOS oocyte may contribute to defects in meiosis and/or mitosis which might impair oocyte competence for early development and therefore contribute to poor pregnancy outcome in PCOS.
