基于多组学分析的多囊卵巢综合征生物标志物及其机制

Biomarker identification and mechanism of polycystic ovary syndrome based on multi-omics analysis

  • 摘要: 基于来曲唑诱导的大鼠多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)模型,采用血清代谢组学解析代谢异常特征,筛选潜在生物标志物并探讨其在PCOS发生发展过程中的潜在作用机制。代谢组学结果发现,模型大鼠血清中胆固醇、孕烯醇酮、亮氨酸与柠檬酸水平显著下降,伴随雄酮葡糖苷酸(ADTG)与亚油酸的升高,涉及类固醇合成、支链氨基酸代谢、三羧酸循环(TCA)及脂质代谢等核心通路的功能失调。为验证上述代谢结果的组织来源及其分子机制,进一步整合卵巢组织蛋白质组学和qRT-PCR分析,确认相关代谢通路中关键酶,如17α-羟化酶(CYP17A1)、11β-羟基类固醇脱氢酶(HSD11B1)、支链氨基酸氨基转移酶(BCAT2)、脂肪酸去饱和酶(FADS2)、草酰乙酸脱氢酶(OGDH)等的表达上调。这提示“胆固醇前体耗竭-雄激素积聚”与“能量/脂质代谢重编程”共同构成了PCOS代谢紊乱的核心特征。基于多组学数据交叉验证,这6种稳定性高且具有临床转化潜力的血清代谢物有望组合成为辅助PCOS诊断的生物标志物。本研究以代谢组学为先导,蛋白质组学与转录组学为验证支撑的分析策略,有助于深化PCOS的代谢机制认知,并为其辅助诊断提供理论依据。

     

    Abstract: Based on a letrozole-induced rat model of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), serum metabolomics was employed to characterize metabolic abnormalities, identify potential biomarkers, and investigate their roles in the pathogenesis and progression of PCOS. Metabolomic analyses revealed significantly decreased levels of cholesterol, pregnenolone, leucine, and citrate in the serum of model rats, accompanied by elevated levels of androsterone glucuronide (ADTG) and linoleic acid, indicating dysregulation of key pathways including steroid biosynthesis, branched-chain amino acid metabolism, tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and lipid metabolism. To elucidate the tissue origins and molecular mechanisms underlying these metabolic alterations, ovarian proteomics and qRT-PCR analyses were further integrated. The results confirmed the upregulation of key enzymes involved in the related metabolic pathways, such as 17α-hydroxylase (CYP17A1), 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSD11B1), branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase (BCAT2), fatty acid desaturase 2 (FADS2), and oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (OGDH). These findings suggest that both “cholesterol precursor depletion-androgen accumulation” and “energy/lipid metabolic reprogramming” constitute core features of metabolic disturbances in PCOS. Through multi-omic cross-validation, six serum metabolites with high stability and clinical translational potential were identified as promising combinational biomarkers for the auxiliary diagnosis of PCOS. This study employed a metabolomics-guided strategy, supported by proteomic and transcriptomic validation, which has not only deepened our understanding of PCOS metabolic mechanisms but also provided us with a theoretical foundation for its auxiliary diagnosis.
