OBJECTIVE:
To assess the association of gene expression with development potential of early embryos derived from patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
METHODS:
Three pairs of infertile patients with respectively matched age, body mass index, ovarian reserve and treatment with gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists were selected. Patients with fewer embryos were assigned as the case group (n = 3), whilst the remainders were assigned as the control group (n = 3). Ovarian granulosa cells from patients were collected for the extraction of total RNA and subjected to RNA sequencing. The results were subjected to differential gene expression and functional enrichment analyses.
RESULTS:
Compared with the control group, 76 genes were up-regulated and 110 genes were down-regulated in the case group. The level of estradiol (E2) was significantly higher in the control group on the trigger day with the injection of human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG). Compared with the control group, the KRT7 gene was most significantly up-regulated, whilst the CCNYL2 gene was most significantly down-regulated in the case group. Gene ontology (GO) entries enrichment has found those associated with chromosome segregation, cell cycle regulation, and fatty acid metabolism to be significantly enriched. The genes participating in the regulation of cell assembly, differentiation, negative regulation of cell cycle, negative regulation of development, extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK), ERK1 and ERK2 signaling pathways to be significantly down-regulated. KEGG enrichment analysis of cell signaling pathways revealed that steroid hormone biosynthesis-related genes were enriched.
CONCLUSION
Among patients treated with GnRH antagonists, the significant difference in the number of oocytes fertilized in vitro and the number of available embryos are associated with the difference in the expression of genes of ovarian granulosa cells.

BACKGROUND:
Women comprise more than half of people living with human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) worldwide and incomplete immune recovery and metabolic abnormalities affect them deeply. Studies of HIV antiretroviral therapy (ART) have a low female representation in China. We aimed to investigate immune reconstitution and metabolic changes of female HIV-positive cohort in China longitudinally.
METHODS:
HIV-positive women who initiated ART from January 2005 to June 2021 and were followed up regularly at least once a year were included in this study. Immunological indicators (cluster of differentiation 4 [CD4] counts and CD8 counts), viral load (VL), and metabolic indicators were collected at follow-up. All data were collected from the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System (CDPCIS). VL was tested half a year, 1 year after receiving ART, and every other year subsequently according to local policy. CD4/CD8 ratio normalization was considered as the primary outcome and defined as a value ≥1. Incidence rate and probability of CD4/CD8 ratio normalization were estimated through per 100 person-years follow-up (PYFU) and Kaplan-Meier curve, respectively. Multivariate Cox regression was used to identify independent risk factors associated with CD4/CD8 ratio normalization. We further studied the rate of dyslipidemia, hyperuricemia, diabetes, liver injury, and renal injury after ART initiation with the chi-squared tests or Fisher's exact probability tests, and a generalized estimating equation model was used to analyze factors of dyslipidemia and hyperuricemia.
RESULTS:
A total of 494 female patients with HIV/AIDS started ART within 16 years from January 2005 to June 2021, out of which 301 women were enrolled with a median duration of ART for 4.1 years (interquartile range, 2.3-7.0 years). The overall incidence rate of CD4/CD8 ratio normalization was 8.9 (95% confidence interval [CI], 7.4-10.6) per 100 PYFU, and probabilities of CD4/CD8 normalization after initiating ART at 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, and 10 years follow-up were 11.7%, 23.2%, 44.0%, and 59.0%, respectively. Independent risk factors associated with CD4/CD8 normalization were baseline CD4 cell counts <200 cells/μL, CD8 counts >1000 cells/μL, and more than 6 months from the start of combined ART (cART) to first virological suppression. Longitudinally, the rate of hypercholesterolemia (total cholesterol [TC]) and high triglyceride (TG) showed an increasing trend, while the rate of low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) showed a decreasing trend. The rate of hyperuricemia presented a downtrend at follow-up. Although liver and renal injury and diabetes persisted during ART, the rate was not statistically significant. Older age and protease inhibitors were independent risk factors for increase of TC and TG, and ART duration was an independent factor for elevation of TC and recovery of HDL-C.
CONCLUSIONS
This study showed that women were more likely to normalize CD4/CD8 ratio in comparison with findings reported in the literature even though immune reconstruction was incomplete.
