Ovulation is regulated by extracellular signal-regulated kinase-1 (ERK-1) and ERK-2 signaling mechanisms, and ERK-1/2 kinases modulates the function of most of the LH-regulated genes. Defective ERK kinase signaling that is secondary to a genetic problem contributes to both ovulatory dysfunction and metabolic problems in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). We planned to investigate ERK-1 and ERK-2 gene polymorphisms in PCOS for the first time in the Turkish population.
One hundred two PCOS patients and 102 healthy controls were recruited for this patient control study. HOMA-IR, Ferriman-Gallwey score (FGS), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and body mass index (BMI) were assessed. Lipid profile levels, CRP, and total testosterone were determined. ERK-2 rs2276008 (G > C) and ERK-1 rs11865228 (G > A) SNPs were analyzed with a real-time PCR system.
ERK-1 and ERK-2 genotypes were found to differ between the PCOS and control groups. In patients with PCOS, ERK-1 GA and ERK-2 GC genotypes were different in terms of BMI, FGS, HOMA-IR, CRP, total testosterone, and total cholesterol levels.
ERK-1 and ERK-2 genes are involved in PCOS pathogenesis. BMI, FGS, HOMA-IR, and CRP levels are related to the heterozygote polymorphic types of ERK-1 and ERK-2 genes.
排卵受细胞外信号调节激酶-1(ERK-1)和 ERK-2 信号机制的调节,ERK-1/2 激酶调节大多数 LH 调节基因的功能。继发于遗传问题的 ERK 激酶信号传导缺陷导致多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)的排卵功能障碍和代谢问题。我们计划首次在土耳其人群中研究 PCOS 中的 ERK-1 和 ERK-2 基因多态性。
这项病例对照研究纳入了 102 例 PCOS 患者和 102 例健康对照者。评估了 HOMA-IR、Ferriman-Gallwey 评分(FGS)、腰臀比(WHR)和体重指数(BMI)。测定了血脂谱水平、CRP 和总睾酮。使用实时 PCR 系统分析了 ERK-2 rs2276008(G>C)和 ERK-1 rs11865228(G>A)SNP。
ERK-1 和 ERK-2 基因型在 PCOS 和对照组之间存在差异。在 PCOS 患者中,ERK-1 GA 和 ERK-2 GC 基因型在 BMI、FGS、HOMA-IR、CRP、总睾酮和总胆固醇水平方面存在差异。
ERK-1 和 ERK-2 基因参与了 PCOS 的发病机制。BMI、FGS、HOMA-IR 和 CRP 水平与 ERK-1 和 ERK-2 基因的杂合子多态类型有关。
