ABSTRACT: Differential genes in adipocytes induced from polycystic ovary syndrome-derived and non- polycystic ovary syndrome-derived human embryonic stem cells
Project description:To explore the molecular mechanisms of obesity and insulin resistance in the patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) at the level of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs).Three PCOS-derived and one non-PCOS-derived hESC lines were induced into adipocytes, and then total mRNA was extracted from these adipocytes. The differential genes between PCOS-derived and non-PCOS-derived adipocytes were identified with GeneChip, and then were validated with real-time PCR.There were 153 differential genes. Of the 153 genes, 91 genes were up-regulated and 62 down-regulated. Nuclear receptor subfamily 0, group B, member 2 (NR0B2) was an up-regulated gene, and GeneChip software system indicated that it was associated with obesity and diabetes. Three PCOS-derived and one non-PCOS-derived hESC lines were induced into adipocytes, and then total mRNA was extracted from these adipocytes. The differential genes between PCOS-derived and non-PCOS-derived adipocytes were identified with GeneChip, and then were validated with real-time PCR.

Project description:Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), one of the most common endocrinal diseases among reproductive-aged women, is characterized by hyperandrogenemia, chronic oligo/anovulation and polycystic ovarian morphology. In this research, we presented microarrays to identify the differential expressed protein-coding genes and lncRNAs expression profile in the endometrium during the window of implantation between the PCOS and healthy subjects.

In this research, we presented microarrays to identify the differential expressed protein-coding genes and lncRNAs expression profile in the luteinized granulosa cells obtained from PCOS and healthy control patients.
Project description:Lean polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) women have a greater proportion of android (abdominal) fat, increased numbers of small subcutaneous (SC) abdominal adipocytes and preferential intra-abdominal fat accumulation. This study examines whether abnormal gene expression of SC abdominal adipose stem cells (ASCs) from lean PCOS women underlies this altered abdominal adipose structure-function. In this dataset, we include the expression data obtained from PCOS and NL subcutaneous adipose tissue. Differential expression of at least 1.5-fold change (P<0.05) were obtained in 120 genes (48 upregulated, 72 downregulated) of SC abdominal ASCs from PCOS versus NL women
Project description:To reveal mRNAs expression differences in cumulus cells between polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and non-PCOS women. mRNAs expression profile of the cumulus cell samples with PCOS and non-PCOS were determined by Illumina Novaseq 6000.
Project description:To reveal microRNAs expression differences in cumulus cells between polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and non-PCOS women. miRNAs expression profile of the cumulus cell samples with PCOS and non-PCOS were determined by Affymetrix miRNA 2.0.
Project description:Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a female endocrine disorder characterized by hyperandrogenism, chronic anovulation, and polycystic ovaries. PCOS is often accompanied by symptoms such as insulin resistance, abdominal obesity, and chronic inflammation. Adipose tissue is a crucial endocrine organ involved in metabolic disorders. Metabolic issues and chronic inflammation in PCOS are linked to dysfunctional adipose tissue. Mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs) are the precursor cells of adipocytes and can regulate the immune system. In this study, we used induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from patients with PCOS to derive MPCs and compare the transcriptome profiles between PCOS and HC iPSC-derived MPCs. We also challenged iPSC-derived MPCs with testosterone to assess the impact of androgen on MPCs. We found that 1026 genes differed between PCOS and HC iPSC-derived MPCs. Gene set enrichment analysis showed adipogenesis and metabolic function were reduced, but the inflammatory response was raised in PCOS iPSC-derived MPCs. The critical signals for early adipogenesis, including TGFβ, BMP, WNT, and CEBPA, differed between PCOS and HC iPSC-derived MPCs. After adipogenic induction, mature adipocytes were lower in PCOS iPSC-derived MPCs than HC. Lipolysis, the process involved in fat metabolism, was lower in adipocytes derived from PCOS MPCs than in HC. The testosterone treatment results indicated that genes related to oxidative phosphorylation and fatty acid metabolism were upregulated in HC iPSC-derived MPCs but downregulated in PCOS iPSC-derived MPCs. Short-term androgen stimulation may benefit body functions in HC. The impact of testosterone varied among individuals with HC and PCOS, possibly because of a genetic tendency towards PCOS. This study explains important factors that help us understand PCOS.
