Searching for the mechanisms of the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) pathophysiology has become a crucial aspect of research performed in the last decades. However, the pathogenesis of this complex and heterogeneous endocrinopathy remains unknown. Thus, there is a need to investigate the metabolic pathways, which could be involved in the pathophysiology of PCOS and to find the metabolic markers of this disorder. The application of metabolomics gives a promising insight into the research on PCOS. It is a valuable and rapidly expanding tool, enabling the discovery of novel metabolites, which may be the potential biomarkers of several metabolic and endocrine disorders. The utilization of this approach could also improve the process of diagnosis and therefore, make treatment more effective. This review article aims to summarize actual and meaningful metabolomic studies in PCOS and point to the potential biomarkers detected in serum, urine, and follicular fluid of the affected women.

AbstractTo enhance understanding of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) at the molecular level; this investigation intends to examine the genes and pathways associated with PCOS by using an integrated bioinformatics analysis. Based on the expression profiling by high throughput sequencing data GSE84958 derived from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between PCOS samples and normal controls were identified. We performed a functional enrichment analysis. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, miRNA- target genes and TF - target gene networks, were constructed and visualized, with which the hub gene nodes were identified. Validation of hub genes was performed by using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and RT-PCR. Small drug molecules were predicted by using molecular docking. A total of 739 DEGs were identified, of which 360 genes were up regulated and 379 genes were down regulated. GO enrichment analysis revealed that up regulated genes were mainly involved in peptide metabolic process, organelle envelope and RNA binding and the down regulated genes were significantly enriched in plasma membrane bounded cell projection organization, neuron projection and DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. REACTOME pathway enrichment analysis revealed that the up regulated genes were mainly enriched in translation and respiratory electron transport and the down regulated genes were mainly enriched in generic transcription pathway and transmembrane transport of small molecules. The top 10 hub genes (SAA1, ADCY6, POLR2K, RPS15, RPS15A, CTNND1, ESR1, NEDD4L, KNTC1 and NGFR) were identified from PPI network, miRNA - target gene network and TF - target gene network. The modules analysis showed that genes in modules were mainly associated with the transport of respiratory electrons and signaling NGF, respectively. We find a series of crucial genes along with the pathways that were most closely related with PCOS initiation and advancement. Our investigations provide a more detailed molecular mechanism for the progression of PCOS, detail information on the potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

Abstract Background: As one of the most common endocrinal disorder for the women at childbearing age, the diagnostic criteria of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have been defined distinctly among different international health organizations. The diverse manifestations and heterogenic etiology of PCOS also bring about difficulties for its diagnosis and management assessment. Though the elevated androgen level is acknowledged to be the most obvious biomarker for PCOS diagnosis and management evaluation, it is not always present in patients and the mechanism of hyperandrogenism has not been fully elucidated. Therefore, more efficient biomarkers representing progression of PCOS are expected to be integrated into monitoring the management process using metabolomic approach. Methods: In this prospective randomized controlled trial, classical diagnostic parameters, blood glucose, and metabolome were measured in 123 PCOS patients simultaneously before and at 2 and 3 months of different medical interventions. The metabolite fingerprints were detected filtered out by comparing data at baseline and 3 months based on multivariate statistical analysis, followed by validation with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve on data collected at 2 months. Results: A set of metabolites including glutamic acid, aspartic acid, 1-methylnicotinamide, acetylcarnitine, glycerophosphocholine, and oleamide, were filtered out with high performance in representing the improvement through three-month management of PCOS with high sensitivity and specificity in ROC analysis. Conclusions: The 6 metabolites were representative for the remission of PCOS through medical intervention, making them a set of potential biomarkers on assessing the outcome of PCOS management.
