Expressions of Survivin and Cyclooxygenase-2 in the Endometrium of Rats with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and the Effect of Metformin on It
Objective To investigate the expressions of Survivin and cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2)in the endometrium of rats with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)and explore the mechanism of the treatment of PCOS endometrial lesions.Method After successful modeling
the model rats were divided into an intervention group(n=15)and a PCOS group(n=15).The intervention group were given metformin intragastric administration while the PCOS group were received normal saline.Meanwhile
15 healthy Sprague Dawley(SD)rats were selected as the control group.All three groups of rats were taken their oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT)and detected their levels of serum fasting insulin(FIN).The rats were observed their endometrial histological changes and expressions of Survivin and COX-2.Results 1 The vaginal epithelial cells showed continued keratosis on the fourth day after rats took Mifepristone.2In the PCOS group
the levels of fasting plasma glucose(FPG)
1hour plasma glucose after oral glucose(1hPPG)
2hour plasma glucose after oral glucose(2hPPG)and serum FIN were significantly higher than those of the control group(P<0.05);the levels of FPG
1hPPG
2h PPG and serum FIN in the intervention group were significantly lower than those of the PCOS group(P<0.05).3 The expressions of Survivin in the endometrial glandular epithelium and COX-2in rats of the PCOS group were higher than the control group(P<0.05).The expressions of Survivin and COX-2of the intervention group were lower than the PCOS(P<0.05).Conclusion PCOS endometrial lesions in rats are closely related to expressions of Survivin and COX-2in their endometrial tissues and metformin has a therapeutic effect on PCOS.
