Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biomedical technology, and in particular to application of a HAS2 expression inhibitor in the preparation of a drug for treating ovulation disorders in polycystic ovary syndrome. Background Art
[0002] Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common reproductive endocrine metabolic disease, with a prevalence of 8% to 13% in women of childbearing age. It is often manifested as ovulatory disorders, insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, obesity, hyperandrogenism, infertility, polycystic ovarian changes, and increased cardiovascular risk. Due to its unclear pathogenesis, the clinical treatment of PCOS is mainly symptomatic and adopts an individualized treatment plan. For PCOS patients with fertility requirements, the treatment methods mainly include lifestyle adjustment, adjustment of menstrual cycle, and relief of hyperandrogenism symptoms. If pregnancy is still unsuccessful after the above treatment, patients can choose to use ovulation induction and assisted reproductive technology treatment, but the treatment results are still affected by many factors. Therefore, exploring the pathogenesis and molecular pathways of PCOS is of great significance for finding its therapeutic targets.
[0003] Granulosa cells (GC) are the most important cell type in the ovary besides oocytes and play an important role in maintaining ovarian function. Granulosa cells (GC), cumulus cells (CC), oocytes, macrophages and follicular fluid form the follicular microenvironment that promotes oocyte maturation and ovulation. Studies have shown that GC apoptosis can lead to the loss of biological function of follicles in PCOS patients and the imbalance of regulation between cells in the follicles, eventually leading to follicular atresia. Therefore, the destruction of the balance of the follicular microenvironment caused by various reasons can cause further abnormalities in follicular development, resulting in follicular atresia and ultimately leading to ovulatory dysfunction.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop effective drug treatment targets for PCOS ovulatory disorders and drugs for the treatment of PCOS ovulatory disorders. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide the use of HAS2 as a target in the preparation of a drug for treating ovulatory disorders in polycystic ovary syndrome. The present invention has found through experiments that HAS2 is highly expressed in the ovaries and granulosa cells of polycystic ovary syndrome ovulatory disorders, and further found that adding hydroxymethylcoumarin to inhibit the expression of HAS2 can reverse the polycystic changes in the ovaries, reduce the number of antral follicles and atretic follicles, and increase the number of corpora lutea, the number of oocytes and the rate of mature oocytes. Therefore, the expression inhibitor of HAS2 can be used to prepare a drug for treating ovulatory disorders in polycystic ovary syndrome.
[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0013] Furthermore, the drug for treating ovulation disorder caused by polycystic ovary syndrome is a drug that improves neurological damage and brain edema in SAH mice and reduces lipid peroxidation damage.
[0014] In a third aspect of the present invention, a drug for treating ovulation disorders in polycystic ovary syndrome is provided, wherein the drug comprises at least one of a HAS2 inhibitor and a HAS2 knockout agent. The HAS2 inhibitor comprises hydroxymethylcoumarin (4-MU). The HAS2 knockout agent comprises: shRNA and / or gRNA targeting a target gene.
[0015] The drug also includes pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.

[0016] In a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided the use of HAS2 as a molecular marker in the preparation of a diagnostic and / or prognostic product for a drug for ovulation disorders in polycystic ovary syndrome.
[0017] Furthermore, the detection reagent of HAS2 is used in the preparation of diagnostic and / or prognostic products for polycystic ovary syndrome ovulation disorder drugs.
[0018] Furthermore, the HAS2 detection reagent includes a HAS2 protein detection reagent (such as an ELISA detection kit). In other embodiments, the HAS2 detection reagent also includes a HAS2 detection primer or an immunohistochemical detection reagent.

[0032] Example 1: Increased expression of HAS2 in PCOS granulosa cells
[0033] 1. Research objects and materials
[0034] 1. Research subjects: PCOS patients (n=37) and non-PCOS patients (n=42) who visited the Reproductive Center of Wuhan University Renmin Hospital from March to June 2022 were collected. The PCOS group was diagnosed according to the 2003 Rotterdam criteria and met at least two of the following three symptoms: decreased ovulation or anovulation, clinical and / or biochemical signs of hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovaries after excluding other causes. The control group consisted of women whose infertility was mainly caused by pure male factors. This study has been approved by the Ethics Committee of Wuhan University Renmin Hospital, and all patients were aware of and signed informed consent.
[0035] 2. Collection of follicular fluid (FF): Follicular fluid of 76 patients was obtained from follicular aspirates collected at the time of oocyte retrieval after superovulation stimulation protocol.
[0036] 2. Experimental Methods
[0037] 1. Extraction and culture of primary human granulosa cells
[0038] (1) Extraction of GC: FF was centrifuged at 1500 rpm for 10 minutes, and the supernatant was discarded. The precipitate was suspended in PBS (Gibco, Invitrogen Life Technologies), Ficoll (Sigma) was slowly added to the cell suspension at a ratio of 1:1, and centrifuged at 1800 rpm for 20 minutes. The middle white granular cell layer was aspirated with a Pasteur pipette, incubated with red blood cell lysis buffer (Biosharp) for 5 minutes, and washed with PBS.
[0039] (2) GC culture: The washed GCs were cultured in 6-well plates (5×10 5 cells / well).
[0040] 2. Culture and treatment of human ovarian granulosa cell carcinoma cell line (KGN cell line)
[0041] (1) KGN cells were purchased from Procell Life Science Co., Ltd. (Wuhan, China).
[0042] (2) KGN cell culture: The culture method was consistent with that of primary granulosa cells. KGN cells were cultured in 6-well plates (5×10 5 cells / well).
[0043] 3. Treatment of KGN cells: LPS and IFN-γ drug powders were prepared into drug solutions using 1×PBS. KGN cells were induced with LPS and IFN-γ and divided into control group, LPS group, IFN-γ group and LPS+IFN-γ group. Cells were treated with PBS, 1ng / μl LPS, 100ng / ml IFN-γ, and 1ng / μl LPS+100ng / ml IFN-γ for 24h. In addition, before LPS+IFN-γ co-induction of KGN cells, KGN cells were pretreated with 4-MU (50μM) for 1 hour, recorded as LPS+IFN-γ+4-MU group.
[0044] 4. Construction of PCOS mouse model
[0045] Forty 21-day-old female ICR mice were housed in an SPF animal facility in a standard environment (22-24°C and 60-70% relative humidity) with free access to food and water. The mice were randomly divided into three groups: control group, PCOS group, and PCOS+4-MU group. The control group was injected with olive oil and gavaged with normal saline every day. The PCOS group was injected with dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) (240 mg DHEA dissolved in 1 ml olive oil, 40 μl / mouse / day) and gavaged with normal saline every day.
[0046] The PCOS+4-MU group was injected with DHEA and intraperitoneally with 4-MU (dissolved in saline, 150 μL / mouse / day). During the treatment period, all animals were weighed once a day, and vaginal smears were collected daily from the 10th day of the first DHEA injection until the end of the experiment. Mice were killed 21 days after the first injection. Blood was collected and centrifuged after an overnight fast, and serum samples were collected and stored at -80°C for further analysis. One ovary was dissected for PCR or western blot analysis, while the other ovary was fixed in 10% paraformaldehyde solution for sectioning, staining, and other experiments. All protocols and experiments were approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee of Wuhan University (Ethics Approval No.: WDRY2018-K009).
