The Identification and Functional Analysis of CircRNAs in Endometrial Receptivity of Mice with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

ABSTRACT: The disorders of endometrial receptivity and ovulatory dysfunction are both important causes of infertility of patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). The study aimed to investigate the expression profile and functional analysis of circRNAs in the endometrial receptivity of mice with PCOS. Twenty-four 4-week-old female C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into two groups (PCOS group and Normal control group, n=12) and PCOS group was subcutaneously with DHEA 6mg/kg for 20 days. The circRNA expression profile in the endometrium tissue of two groups on the 4th day of gestation was screened by gene chip technique.

Project description:Several lines of evidence indicate that there exists differential display of biochemical characteristics in endometrium during receptivity in the proven conception cycle as compared to corresponding secretory phases endometrium of non-conception cycles of fertile rhesus monkeys. In the present study, we examined the differential display in the whole genome expression of endometrium during days 2, 4 and 6 post-ovuation in proven conception cycles and normo-ovulatory, non-conception cycles in proven fertile rhesus monkeys. Female monkeys showing at least two consecutive ovulatory menstrual cycles of normal length were allocated to either of the two groups: group 1 in which females were allowed to cohabit with proven fertile males during days 8 to 16 of their menstrual cycles, and group 2 in which females were not allowed to cohabit. Vaginal smears were checked daily and the days of ovulation were assessed from immunopositive profiles of estradiol-17β and progesterone in peripheral serum samples. Endometrial samples were collected on days 2, 4 and 6 after ovulation from both groups of animals following laparotomy and fundal hysterectomy under ketamine anaesthesia. In group 1, only endometrial samples obtained from mated females who yielded viable, preimplantation-stage matched embyos on uterine flushing were used. In group 2, endometrial samples were obtained from females who showed normal ovulatory cycles. Tissue samples from both groups were washed in ice-cold PBS and were used for RNA extraction to run rhesus monkey whole genome expression array. On average, ~60% and ~68% genes of total number of hybridized genes were expressed in endometrial samples of groups 1 and 2, respectively. Group-wise hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) yielded highest segregation between peri-implantation stage (groups 1b and 1c) and other (groups 2a-c and group 1a) samples with cluster distance (cd) 0.9, when cd=1.0 denotes complete segregation. On the other hand, least segregation was seen between groups 1a and 2a with cd 0.2, when cd=0 denotes complete aggregation. The number of common genes were less with the progress in days in group 1 (that is in proven conception cycle) unlike that in group 2 (that is in non-mated, normo-ovulatory group). Also, the number of common genes between groups for a given day after ovulation displayed a clear declining trend with increasing number of uncommon genes. Differential dipslay of regulated common genes among all the subgroups based on statistical analyses of variances in data sets obtained from whole genome expression arrays identified a total of fifteen (15) genes that displayed differential (>2-fold, p< 0.05) expression: ADCY5, ADIPOR1, AVEN, CHRND, FOXD3, GJD4, MAPK8IP3, MKS1, NNMT, NUP50, PALT1, PIGV, TGFBR2, TOX2, VWA5B1.
