Expression of AR and CARM1 as well as its product in rat PCOS model
Objective:To explore the efficacy of dehydroepiandrosterone(DHEA)induced SD rat polycystic ovarian syndrome(PCOS)model
to detect androgen receptor(AR)and coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1(CARM1)expressions
and to investigate the relationship between hormone change
insulin resistance
AR and CARM1
asymmetric dimethylarginines(ADMA). Methods:The 23-day-old female SD rats were randomly divided into two groups. The rats in model group were injected with 0.6 ml/kg DHEA daily for 20 days while the rats in control group were injected with the same volum oil at the same time. Ovarian morphology changes
hormone in blood
insulin resistance
m RNA and protein expression of AR and CARM1 were dected one by one. Immunohistochemistry identified the expression of CARM1 in ovarian tissue. Results:The average body weight of rats in model group at the end of this experiment was significantly higher than that in control group(P<0.05). The same result was achived concerning the average weight of ovaries and the weight gain of rats during the experiment(P<0.05).The fasting insulin and HOMA index
ADMA
testosterone
estrodiol were significantly higher in model group than those in control group(P<0.05)
so as the m RNA and protein expression of AR and CARM1(P<0.05). In ovarian tissue of rats in model group
a large number of atretic and cystic ovarian follicles emerged
granulosa cell layer decreased and oocytes disappeared. CARM1 expressed mainly by the granulosa cells in ovarian tissue. Conclusion:There is a correlation between CARM1 and three major pathophysiological characteristics of PCOS
hyperandrogenism
ovarian dysfunction and insulin resistance
but the internal relations and specific mechanism still need further verification.
