Project description:In the present study through TLDA analysis we looked into the miRNA differential expression in peripheral blood of PCOS patients v/s control women. The results implicated that many signalling networks as MAPK pathway, Androgen signaling, Insulin signaling and Immune signaling are regulated in peripheral blood of PCOS patients. The data indicate that there is generic PCOS specific gene expression in peripheral blood of PCOS subjects which can reflect the same from other PCO tissues. Total RNA was extracted from peripheral blood of 4 PCOS patients and 4 control subjects and compared for miRNA diferential expression through TLDA

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. Six pooled RNAs from CC samples (three PCOS and three non-PCOS pooled RNAs) were separately analyzed on 6 GeneChip miRNA 2.0 Array (miRBase V15)

Project description:To identify the altered miRNA expression profiles of PCOS patients, the differentially expressed miRNAs were identified from cumulus cells of PCOS patients by comparing to that of normal women. Case-control study that involved 18 women with PCOS and 18 women without PCOS (control). The miRNA expression profiles of cumulus cells were identified by miRNA array.
Project description:Why ~70% of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have intrinsic insulin resistance (IR), above and beyond that associated with body mass, including dysfunctional glucose metabolism in adipose tissue (AT), remains a fundamental question. In these experiments, we sought to explore the role of miRNAs in the AT of PCOS and matched controls. Analysis determined that PCOS AT has a differentially expressed miRNA profile, including upregulated miR-93. We observed a significant association between HOMA-IR, and GLUT4 and miR-93 expression in human AT. Our results point to a novel mechanism for regulating insulin-stimulated glucose uptake via miR-93, and demonstrate upregulated miR-93 expression in PCOS, possibly accounting for the IR of the syndrome, and also in non-PCOS women with IR. We performed miRNA microarrays to determine PCOS-related miRNA expression in adipose derived from lean PCOS patients and matched control women. We analyized miRNA from total RNA extracted from subcutaneous (sc) adipose tissue from three lean PCOS patients and three matched control women.
Project description:The miRNA expression profiles of mural granulosa cells (MGCs) which were obtained from PCOS patients and control individuals were identified and compared.
