摘要
目的探讨miR-32-5p在多囊卵巢综合征(polycystic ovary syndrome,PCOS)大鼠卵巢组织表达变化并预测其可能参与的生物学过程。方法应用脱氢表雄酮(dehydroepiandrosterone,DHEA)颈背部注射建立PCOS大鼠模型;记录大鼠体重、动情周期变化;通过组织病理学观察评估大鼠卵巢形态学变化;应用实时定量PCR检测miR-32-5p在卵巢组织中表达;通过数据库和生物信息学方法预测hsa-miR-32-5p下游靶基因并进行生物学功能分析和信号通路富集分析。结果PCOS组大鼠体重显著增加,动情周期紊乱,卵巢呈多囊样改变;PCOS组大鼠卵巢组织miR-32-5p表达量显著高于对照组;生物信息学分析显示其潜在下游靶基因592个,富集于DNA修复和PI3K-AKT信号通路等生物学调控过程。结论 miR-32-5p在PCOS模型大鼠卵巢组织高表达,可能通过调控下游靶基因影响PCOS病理生理过程。
Objective:To investigate the expression of miR-32-5 p in the ovaries of polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)rats induced by dehydroepiandrosterone(DHEA)and predict its biological functions. Methods:PCOS model rats were established by DHEA injection in the neck and back;The body weight was measured and recorded daily;The estrous cycle was evaluated through vaginal smears;A histopathologic study was performed to evaluate morphological changes of ovaries. The expression of miR-32-5 p in ovaries was determined through RT-qPCR;The target genes of hsa-miR-32-5 p and their biological functions and signaling pathways were discovered through database and enrichment analysis. Results:In PCOS rats,the body weight increased significantly,the estrous cycle was disordered and the ovaries showed polycystic morphological changes. The expression of miR-32-5 p was significantly upregulated in ovaries of PCOS rats. 592 target genes were discovered by the intersection of 4 databases.The target genes were enriched in biological processes such as DNA repair and PI3 K-AKT signaling pathway. Conclusion:Our results indicate that the upregulation of miR-32-5 p may affect the pathophysiological process of PCOS via regulating downstream target genes.
