Project description:Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous endocrine disorder characterized by hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction, and polycystic ovaries. In this study, we induced a PCOS rat model by oral administration of letrozole combined with a high-fat diet and then treated with mogroside V (MV) to evaluate the protective roles on endocrine and follicle development in PCOS rats and the underlying mechanisms. Purpose: To detect the difference of ovary transcriptome profiling between PCOS model and Control rat and to evaluate the effect of mogroside V on the transcriptome profiling of ovaries of PCOS model rats. Methods: Ovarian mRNA profiles of 15-week-old Control, PCOS and PCOS-MV group rats (4 rats per group) were generated by deep sequencing,using Illumina PE150.
Project description:Hierarchical clustering of the dysregulated genes from ovary of SD rat in different groups were successfully constructed through expression profiling,which suggested large sets of differentially regulated genes in rat ovaries in response to TBT or BPA exposure, and the combined group had more regulated genes. Though these differential expression genes, we can see the differentiation of agents of TBT and BPA. And according to these genes, we could farther study these related pathways to the PCOS. Using the selection criteria (FC ≥ 2, p ≤ 0.05), 86 up-regulated genes and 71 down-regulated genes were identified in the TBT100 group. In the BPA50 group, 45 up-regulated genes and 95 down-regulated genes were identified using the same criteria. The TBT+BPA group had 258 up-regulated genes and 234 down-regulated genes.
Project description:Objective: The etiology of PCOS is mostly unknown. Existing data support both genetic and environmental factors in its pathogenesis. Design: Prospective case - control study. Setting: University Hospital. Patients: 25 patients undergoing IVF-ICSI treatment. Intervention: Genome-wide oligonucleotide microarray technology was used to study differential gene-expression patterns of cultured human cumulus cells from IVF patients divided into 4 groups according to disease state (PCOS vs. Control) and BMI (Obese vs. Lean). Results: Two differential PCOS gene expression profiles were established: Lean-Type was formed by comparing PCOS lean (PL) vs. non-PCOS lean (NL) individuals; Obese-Type was formed by comparing PCOS obese (PO) vs. non-PCOS (NO) obese patients. Conclusions: Different molecular pathways are associated with PCOS in Lean and Obese individuals, as demonstrated by gene expression profiling of cumulus cells. Our findings provide insights into the molecular pathogenesis of PCOS. We used microarrays to study the gene expression of human cultured cumulus cells. We compared the genes expression of lean PCOS, Obese PCOS, lean controls and obese controls. Different molecular pathways are associated with PCOS in Lean and Obese patients. Experiment Overall Design: Cumulus cells obtained from woman undergoing IVF/ICSI. Following oocyte retrieval, cumulus cells were stripped from the oocyte, in preparation for the ICSI process, with a micropipette. After 48h in culture the cumulus cells were collected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We compered the expression profile of 4 groups - lean PCOS, obese PCOS, lean controls and obese controls.
Project description:Purpose: the goals of this study are to identify the transcriptome profiling of exosome derived from follicle fluid of PCOS patients by next-generation sequencing (NGS). Methods:the transcriptome profiling of exosome derived from follicular fluid of five PCOS and five control patients were generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina GAIIx. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with two methods: Burrows–Wheeler Aligner (BWA) followed by ANOVA (ANOVA) and TopHat followed by Cufflinks. qRT–PCR validation was performed using TaqMan and SYBR Green assays Results: the transcriptome profiling including circRNA, lncRNA and mRNA were comparatively analyzed in the two groups of exosomes (exo-PCOS and exo-control). We focus on the circRNAs profile for further analysis. A circRNA candidate was considered to be differentially expressed if its levels between both experiment groups showed a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) of at least two-fold. Based on this criterion, we identified 16 differentially expressed circRNAs (5 up-regulated and 11 down-regulated circRNAs) between exo-PCOS and exo-control, including 3 annotated exonic circRNAs and 13 novel ones. Clustering analysis based on the differentially expressed circRNAs clustered the exo-PCOS and the exo-control groups (control). Conclusion: the circRNA expression profile of exosome derived from follicular fluid of five PCOS and five control patients were determined by RNA sequencing technology. 16 circRNAs showed significantly different expression in the exosome of PCOS FF. GO and KEGG pathway analysis indicated that the parental genes of the candidate circRNAs were involved in ovarian steroidogenesis, aldosterone synthesis and secretion, thyroid hormone signaling pathway, ubiquitin mediated proteolysis, Jak-STAT signaling pathway, and endocytosis pathway.
Project description:Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder of the reproductive and metabolic axis in women during the reproductive age. In this study, we used a rat model exhibiting reproductive and metabolic abnormalities similar to human PCOS to unravel the molecular mechanisms underlining this complex syndrome. Female Sprague-Dawley rats were implanted with a silicone capsule continuous-releasing 5α-dehydrotestestrone (DHT) per day for 12 weeks to mimic the hyperandrogenic state in women with PCOS, and the control (CTL) groups received an empty capsule. The animals were euthanized at 15 weeks of age and the ovarian cortex tissues of both groups were used for transcriptome profile analysis.
