Abstract Background: Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have a higher ovarian reserve and 9 number of oocytes retrieved than women with tubal infertility. To assess whether women of 10 advanced age (≥35 years) with PCOS have the same cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) as their age-11 matched controls with tubal factor infertility and to determine the influencing factors on the CLBRs 12 of aged women. 13 Methods: A total of 190 women of advanced age (≥35 years) with PCOS and 627 women with tubal 14 factor infertility were included in our study. All patients underwent their first fresh cycles and 15 subsequent frozen cycles in our centre from 2007 to 2018. To determine independent influencing 16 factors on the CLBRs of these aged patients, a multivariable Cox regression model of CLBR 17 according to the transfer cycle type was constructed. 18 Results: The Cox regression model of the CLBRs indicated that there was no significant difference 19 between the PCOS group and the tubal infertility group in terms of advanced age (HR, 0.96; 95% CI, 20 0.77~1.20). The CLBR significantly decreased for women of advanced reproductive age up to 37 21 years of age (HR, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.53~0.80). The CLBR increased by 31% when more than ten 22 oocytes were retrieved (HR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.08~1.59). In addition to age and the number of oocytes, 23 the addition of recombinant LH was an independent factor that increased the CLBRs of the women of 24 advanced age (HR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.03~1.53). 25 Conclusions: Despite the higher number of oocytes retrieved in PCOS patients, the reproductive 26 window is not extended for PCOS patients compared with tubal factor infertility patients. Age, the 27 number of oocytes retrieved and supplementation with LH play crucial roles in the CLBRs of 28 patients of advanced age (≥35 years).

Abstract Objectives There is a growing evidence indicating an impact of endocrine distrupting chemicals such as bisphenol A (BPA) on human reproduction. Its higher levels in serum or urine have been documented in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), however the relationship to ovarian steroidogenesis remains unclear. Aim of the study was to compare urinary BPA (U-BPA) concentrations among PCOS women and control group. Second aim was to assess the relationship of U-BPA to ovarian steroidogenesis in the group with PCOS. Methods Eighty six Caucasian women (age 28.5 ± 5.1 years) diagnosed with PCOS and 32 controls of age 24.9 ± 4.4 years were included in the study. Fasting blood samples were analyzed for biochemical parameters and steroid hormones. U-BPA was measured in the morning urine sample using high pressure liquid chromatography. Results PCOS women had significantly higher U-BPA as compared with control group (p=0.0001). Those with high levels of U-BPA (U-BPA ≥2.14 ug/g creatinine) demonstrated higher serum insulin (p=0.029) and HOMA IR (p=0.037), lower serum estrone (p=0.05), estradiol (p=0.0126), FSH (p=0.0056), and FAI (p=0.0088), as compared with low-BPA group (U- BPA <2.14 ug/g creatinine). In PCOS women, U-BPA positively correlated with age (p=0.0026; R2=0.17), negatively with estradiol (p=0.0001, R2=0.5), testosterone (p=0.0078, R2=0.15), free-testosterone (p=0.0094, R2=0.12) and FAI (p=0.0003, R2=0.32), respectively. Conclusions PCOS women have significantly higher U-BPA concentrations than healthy controls. U-BPA positively correlates with age and negatively with ovarian steroid hormones suggesting a possible suppressive effect of bisphenol A on ovarian steroidogenesis.

Abstract Background Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine and metabolic disorder with various manifestations and complex etiology. Follicular fluid (FF) serves as the complex microenvironment for follicular development. However, the correlation between the concentration of steroid in FF and the pathogenesis of PCOS is still unclear. Methods Twenty steroid levels in FF from ten patients with PCOS and ten women with male-factor infertility undergoing in vitro fertilization were tested by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in order to explore their possibly correlation with PCOS. Meanwhile, the mRNA levels of core enzymes in steroid synthesis pathway from exosomes of FF were also detected by qPCR. Results The estriol (p < 0.01), estradiol (p < 0.05) and prenenolone (p < 0.01) levels in FF of PCOS group were significantly increased, compared to the normal group, and the progesterone levels (p < 0.05) were decreased in PCOS group. Increased mRNA levels of CYP11A, CYP19A and HSD17B2 of exosomes were accompanied by the hormonal changes in FF. Correlation analysis showed that mRNA levels of CYP11A and HSD17B2 were negatively correlated with percent of top-quality embryos and rate of embryos develop to blastocyst. Conclusion Our results suggest that increased levels of estrogen and pregnenolone in follicular fluid may affect follicle development in PCOS patients, and the mechanism is partially related to HSD17B1, CYP19A1 and CYP11A1 expression change in FF exosomes.

Abstract Study question How do live birth rates differ in anovulatory women with polycystic ovary syndrome and hypothalamic hypogonadism compared to normo-ovulatory women undergoing fresh or frozen embryo transfer? Summary answer Live birth rates are similar among all groups undergoing fresh embryo transfer but are significantly lower in women with hypothalamic hypogonadism undergoing frozen embryo transfer. What is known already Conflicting data exist regarding pregnancy outcomes in patients with tubal factor infertility versus polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Some studies demonstrate higher pregnancy and live birth rates for women with PCOS undergoing fresh embryo transfer, but other studies demonstrate no difference. Women with PCOS have higher live birth rates than those with tubal factor infertility when undergoing frozen embryo transfer. Fewer data are available regarding IVF outcomes in women with hypothalamic hypogonadism (HH) and tubal factor infertility. Several studies report comparable live birth rates with fresh embryo transfer, but there are no data on frozen embryo transfer outcomes. Study design, size, duration Retrospective cohort study of all fresh and frozen autologous embryo transfers performed for patients with oligo-anovulation (PCOS, n = 380 and HH, n = 39) and normo-ovulation (tubal factor infertility, n = 315) from 1/1/2012 to 6/30/2019. A total of 734 transfers from 653 patients were analyzed. Participants/materials, setting, methods Transfer outcomes, including implantation, miscarriage, clinical pregnancy and live birth rates, were assessed in fresh and frozen embryo transfer cycles. Adjusted relative risks (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated adjusting for age, BMI, stimulation protocol, number of embryos transferred, embryo quality, endometrial stripe thickness and day of transfer. Poisson regression was used for counts and with an offset for ratios. Generalized estimating equations were used to account for patients contributing multiple cycles. Main results and the role of chance For fresh embryo transfer cycles, live birth rates are similar among patients with tubal factor infertility, PCOS and HH (29.5% vs. 37.9% vs. 35.9%, respectively, aRR 1.15 95% CI: 0.91–1.44 and aRR 1.23 95% CI: 0.81–2.00, respectively). When evaluating frozen embryo transfer cycles, patients with HH have lower live birth rates than patients with tubal factor infertility (26.5% vs. 42.6%, aRR 0.54 95% CI: 0.33–0.88) and patients with PCOS (26.5% vs. 46.7%, aRR 0.55 95% CI: 0.34–0.88). Additionally, patients with HH have higher chemical pregnancy rates and miscarriage rates than patients with tubal factor infertility (26.5% vs. 13.0% and 17.7% vs. 6.5%, respectively, RR 2.71 95% CI: 1.27–5.77 and RR 2.03 95% CI: 1.05–3.80, respectively). Point biserial correlation showed no significant correlation between live birth and endometrial stripe thickness in HH patients undergoing frozen embryo transfer (r = 0.028, p-value 0.876). Limitations, reasons for caution This study is limited by its retrospective nature and the small sample size of women with hypothalamic hypogonadism. Additionally, these data represent outcomes from a single academic center, so generalizability of our findings may be limited. Wider implications of the findings: Lower live birth rates for HH patients undergoing frozen embryo transfer cycles are not correlated with endometrial stripe thickness. This may be due to absent gonadotropin signaling on endometrial receptors. A prospective randomized trial of HH patients to modified natural versus programmed frozen embryo transfer would best support this hypothesis. Trial registration number Not applicable

Abstract Background TMPO-AS1 is a recently characterized oncogenic lncRNA in ovarian cancer. Its role in other ovary diseases is unknown. This study explored its role in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods Follicular fluid was extracted from both PCOS patients and controls. The levels of TMPO-AS1 and mature and premature miR-335-5p were analyzed by RT-qPCR. The role of TMPO-AS1 in regulating miR-355-5p maturation in granulosa-like tumor (KGN) cells was analyzed by overexpression experiments. The interaction between TMPO-AS1 and premature miR-335-5p was analyzed by RNA pull-down assay. The subcellular location of TMPO-AS1 in KGN cells was analyzed by nuclear fractionation assay. The role of TMPO-AS1 and miR-335-5p in KGN cell proliferation was analyzed by BrdU assay. Results TMPO-AS1 was increased in PCOS, while mature miR-355-5p was decreased in PCOS. TMPO-AS1 overexpression decreased mature miR-355-5p level but increased premature miR-355-5p. TMPO-AS1 was localized in both nucleus and cytoplasm. TMPO-AS1 directly interacted with premature miR-355-5p in KGN cells. TMPO-AS1 increased KGN cell proliferation while miR-355-5p decreased cell proliferation. The co-transfection assay showed that TMPO-AS1 reduced the suppressive effects of miR-355-5p on cell proliferation. Conclusions TMPO-AS1 might suppress miR-335-5p maturation to participate in PCOS.
