Compositions and methods for the use of inhibitory nucleic acids, for example small inhibitory ribonucleic acids (siRNA), to adjust, manipulate, prevent, inhibit, interfere, or block the androgen signal transduction pathway in a host cell, for example in a host's hair cell are provided. Aspects of the disclosure provide compositions and methods for interfering with the androgen signal transduction pathway by down regulating the expression of proteins involved in the androgen signal transduction pathway. Exemplary gene targets encoding proteins involved in the androgen signal transduction pathway include but are not limited to isozymes I and II of 5-α reductase, the androgen receptor, aromatase, 3-α-hydroxysteroiddehydrogenase, 3-β-hydroxysteroiddehydrogenase , 3-β-hydroxysteroiddehydrogenase-4-5-isomerase, 17-β-hydroxysteroidoxidoreductase, and steroid sulfatase. In some aspects, the inhibitory nucleic acids, for example siRNAs, interfere with the expression of targeted genes by preventing, reducing, or inhibiting the translation of mRNA transcribed from the targeted gene.

The invention provides a miRNA biomarker for diagnosis of polycystic ovarian syndromes.The miRNA biomarker is miR27a.Research shows that miR27a promotes apoptosis of granular cells, inhibits generation of aromatase, makes female hormones in granular cells disproportionate and leads to ovulation failures to cause polycystic ovarian syndromes.By inducing a mouse polycystic ovarian syndrome model with DHT, it is found that miR27a is highly expressed in the mouse polycystic ovarian syndrome model, and the effect of miR27a and target genes thereof in nosogenesis of polycystic ovarian syndromes is verified.miR27a can serve as a biomarker for polycystic ovarian syndromes, and a theoretical basis is provided for clinical pharmacy.
