Background During fertility treatment, diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is a challenge that can seriously affect a patient’s reproductive potential. However, the pathogenesis of DOR is still unclear and its treatment options are limited. This study aimed to explore DOR’s molecular mechanisms. Methods We used R software to analyze the mRNA microarray dataset E-MTAB-391 downloaded from ArrayExpress, screen for differentially expressed genes (DEGs), and perform functional enrichment analyses. We also constructed the protein-protein interaction (PPI) and miRNA-mRNA networks. Ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) from women with DOR and the control group were collected to perform untargeted metabolomics analyses. Additionally, small molecule drugs were identified using the Connectivity Map database. Results We ultimately identified 138 DEGs. Our gene ontology (GO) analysis indicated that DEGs were mainly enriched in cytokine and steroid biosynthetic processes. According to the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), the DEGs were mainly enriched in the AGE (advanced glycation end-product)-RAGE (receptor for AGE) signaling pathway in diabetic complications and steroid biosynthesis. In the PPI network, we determined that JUN, EGR1, HMGCR, ATF3, and SQLE were hub genes that may be involved in steroid biosynthesis and inflammation. miRNAs also played a role in DOR development by regulating target genes. We validated the differences in steroid metabolism across GCs using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). We selected 31 small molecules with potentially positive or negative influences on DOR development. Conclusion We found that steroidogenesis and inflammation played critical roles in DOR development, and our results provide promising insights for predicting and treating DOR.

Abstract Context Women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) have reduced fertility, cardiovascular events, and osteoporosis. Although differential microRNA (miRNA) expression has been described in several ovarian disorders, little is known about the role of miRNAs in the pathogenesis of DOR. Objective Identify differentially expressed miRNAs in DOR and explore the role of miR-106a in human granulosa cell proliferation. Design miRNA microarray (n = 3) and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (n = 30) were used to examine miRNA expression in serum and granulosa cells from normal-cycling and women with DOR. Primary human granulosa cells were treated alone or in combination with miR-106a mimic, miR-106a inhibitor, apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) small interfering RNA (siRNA), or p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitor (SB203580) before assessment of cell viability and apoptosis. Western blot was used to measure ASK1 protein and phosphorylation/activation of p38 MAPK. Binding of miR-106a to ASK1 mRNA was examined by 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR) luciferase analysis. Results Fifteen miRNAs were differentially expressed (n = 30), and miR-106a was downregulated in serum and granulosa cells of women with DOR. miR-106a mimic increased cell viability and attenuated apoptosis, whereas the converse occurred following treatment with miR-106a inhibitor. miR-106a suppressed ASK1 expression by directly targeting its 3′UTR. miR-106a inhibitor increased p38 MAPK phosphorylation/activation, and this effect was abolished by treatment with ASK1 siRNA. Whereas knockdown of ASK1 abolished the effects of miR-106a inhibitor on cell viability/apoptosis, pretreatment with SB203580 did not significantly alter the effects of miR-106a inhibitor. Conclusions Downregulation of miR-106a may contribute to the pathogenesis of DOR by reducing granulosa cell viability and promoting apoptosis via enhanced ASK1 signaling.
