概括

抗穆勒尔激素 (AMH) 在多囊性卵巢综合征 (PCOS) 的起源中起着关键作用. 可能由遗传学或发育编程驱动的AMH过量,可以在小鼠中引起PCOS类特征,独立于直接的雄激素暴露.

科学领域:

内分泌学在内分泌学.
生殖生物学生殖生物学
遗传学是一个遗传学.

背景情况:

多囊卵巢综合征 (PCOS) 与雄激素受体 (AR) 途径和抗穆勒尔激素 (AMH) 有关.
在患有PCOS的女性中,从出生开始就观察到AMH水平升高,在患有PCOS的母亲的女儿中也观察到AMH水平升高.
遗传变异在AMH或它的受体 (AMHR2) 发现在6-7%的女性PCOS.

研究的目的:

调查AMH在PCOS病变发生过程中的作用.
探索AMH对PCOS发展的潜在遗传和表观遗传贡献.
阐明AMH通过哪些机制影响过高雄性质和PCOS类特征.

主要方法:

在孕期对雌性小鼠给予AMH,以诱导PCOS类型的表型.
在成年雌性小鼠中,选择性过度激活体下腺素释放激素 (GnRH) 神经元.
同时服用GnRH抗剂,以评估黄素激素 (LH) 和的作用.
与各种物种的外源性丸激素或二丸激素的管理进行比较.

主要成果:

妊娠期的AMH给药诱导了后代的高性特质和PCOS类特征,持续了三代.
成人发病的GnRH神经元激活也导致PCOS类特征,可通过GnRH抗剂预防.
由AMH诱导的PCOS类特征依赖于LH和AR介导的丸激素作用.
外源性雄激素未能诱导卵巢AMH过分分泌,这表明AMH过量是一种明显的致病因素.

结论:

过多的AMH,可能是通过遗传或表观遗传机制,可以独立地导致PCOS的高雄性起源.
通过妊娠期AMH暴露的发育编程可以导致多代PCOS类型的表型.
这些发现暗示AMH是PCOS病变的关键因素,与直接的雄激素影响不同.

Hormonal Control of the Ovarian Cycle

Hormonal Control of the Ovarian Cycle

The ovarian cycle is meticulously regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. This cycle orchestrates the release of a mature oocyte, essential for reproduction.
Before puberty, the hypothalamus releases GnRH in a low frequency, low amplitude pulsatile manner. This along with the immature hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis activity, results in low estrogen levels and the absence of a fully functional ovarian cycle. At puberty, GnRH secretion increases in both frequency and...

Hormonal Regulation of the Menstrual Cycle

Hormonal Regulation of the Menstrual Cycle

The ovarian cycle regulates endometrial changes throughout a single menstrual cycle via the coordinated action of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and gonadotrophins.
At puberty, GnRH begins a pulsatile release pattern, which triggers the anterior pituitary gland to secrete follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The frequency and amplitude of GnRH pulses vary across the menstrual cycle, with faster pulses favoring LH release and slower pulses favoring FSH...

Oogenesis

Oogenesis

In human women, oogenesis produces one mature egg cell or ovum for every precursor cell that enters meiosis. This process differs in two unique ways from the equivalent procedure of spermatogenesis in males. First, meiotic divisions during oogenesis are asymmetric, meaning that a large oocyte (containing most of the cytoplasm) and minor polar body are produced as a result of meiosis I, and again following meiosis II. Since only oocytes will go on to form embryos if fertilized, this unequal...

Ovarian Cycle

Ovarian Cycle

The menstrual cycle includes a critical component known as the ovarian cycle, which undergoes two main phases each month—the follicular phase and the luteal phase. The follicular phase is variable and averaging around 14 days. Ovulation, triggered by a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH), marks the transition between the two phases. The second phase, the luteal phase, is relatively consistent, lasting approximately 14 days, and is marked by the activity of the corpus luteum. While a cycle...
