BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder worldwide. We aimed to examine the associations of two mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) biomarkers in the peripheral blood, mtDNA copy number (CN), and mtDNA4977 deletion rate (DR), with PCOS in a clinical setting.MethodsWe performed a study involving 263 women with PCOS and 326 age-matched controls between June 2015 and June 2019. The mtDNA CN and mtDNA4977 DR were measured using multiplex probe-based qPCR. The associations of the mtDNA CN and mtDNA4977 DR with the risk of PCOS were estimated using logistic regression.ResultsAnalysis of the associations between mtDNA biomarkers and PCOS indicate that the mtDNA CN (P = 0.003) and mtDNA4977 DR (P < 0.001) in PCOS patients were significantly higher than those in the controls. After adjusting for the body mass index, luteinizing hormone/follicle-stimulating hormone ratio, and testosterone level, only higher mtDNA4977 DR was associated with PCOS (odds ratio 1.053, 95% confidence interval 1.024 to 1.083; P < 0.001). The linear dose-response trends of the mtDNA4977 DR were also supported by the quartile analysis.ConclusionMultivariable models suggest that mtDNA4977 DR levels are strongly associated with PCOS and represent an independent risk factor for PCOS. Further investigation of the utility of mtDNA as a biomarker for PCOS is warranted.

Abstract Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex, heterogeneous syndrome of uncertain etiology characterized by hyperandrogenemia, hyperinsulinemia, chronic anovulation, and polycystic ovaries. Recent studies showed that the abnormalities of mitochondrial metabolism are related to PCOS. We hypothesized that mtDNA copy number is an important marker that can reflect mitochondrial function. In this study, 135 PCOS patients and 57 age-matched healthy participants were studied. Mitochondrial DNA copy number in peripheral blood and PCOS ovarian tissues, and some clinical parameters were assessed. From the single factor analysis, we can find some clinical parameters are different between PCOS and healthy women and the mitochondrial DNA copy numbers in peripheral blood in PCOS women were significantly lower than in healthy women. We also found that there was no correlation between mtDNA copy numbers in peripheral blood and in ovarian tissue. After multiple logistic regressions, we identified the occurrence of PCOS was significantly positively correlated with BMI and pulse, and negatively correlated with mitochondrial DNA copy numbers in peripheral blood. We also found the decreased mtDNA copy numbers in PCOS patients are independent of these clinical parameters. We constructed the ROC curve based on these risk factors and found if they have potential to predict the patient’s outcome. In conclusion, the changes in mtDNA copy number and some clinical parameters may provide new ideas for PCOS diagnosis. More studies are necessary for further validation of their use in PCOS diagnosis.

After adjusting for BMI, LH/FSH, and T, only higher mtDNA4977 DR was associated with PCOS (odds ratio 1.053, 95% confidence interval 1.024 to 1.083, P < 0.001). The linear dose-response trends of mtDNA4977 DR were also supported by the quartile analyses.Conclusions Multivariable models suggest that mtDNA4977 DR levels are strongly associated with PCOS and represent an independent risk factor for PCOS.

The article presents key data on the physiology of inositols in the body, their pathogenetic role in the development of polycystic ovary syndrome, and the possibilities of myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol in the restoration of ovarian function, metabolic parameters, and overcoming of infertility.
