Abstract
Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common reproductive and endocrine disorder; however, the understanding of the pathogenesis of PCOS remains unclear. Necroptosis is a newly discovered mechanism of cell death, and it is closely related to reproductive endocrine-related diseases. This study aimed to investigate the hub necroptosis-related genes in PCOS patients and its correlation with immune cell infiltration by bioinformatics methods.
Method: The gene expression chip result matrix and the annotation matrix files of the GSE34526, GSE8157, and GSE5090 datasets were downloaded from the GEO database. We analyzed the expression and correlation of the necroptosis-related genes in all samples, constructed a diagnostic model based on all necroptosis-related genes and genes with significant differences, performed unsupervised clustering of samples and gene enrichment analysis, and evaluated the correlations between the hub gene and immune cell infiltration levels by the R packages GSVA and CIBERSORT. Finally, PPI networks were constructed using the Cytoscape software GeneMANIA plug-in, and the miRNA, transcription factors, RBP, and drugs were predicted.
Conclusion: Necroptosis-related genes have important relationships in the development of PCOS and are potentially associated with immune infiltration in PCOS patients.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics publishes cellular, molecular, genetic, and epigenetic discoveries advancing our understanding of the biology and underlying mechanisms from gametogenesis to offspring health. Special emphasis is placed on the practice and evolution of assisted reproduction technologies (ARTs) with reference to the diagnosis and management of diseases affecting fertility. Our goal is to educate our readership in the translation of basic and clinical discoveries made from human or relevant animal models to the safe and efficacious practice of human ARTs. The scientific rigor and ethical standards embraced by the JARG editorial team ensures a broad international base of expertise guiding the marriage of contemporary clinical research paradigms with basic science discovery. JARG publishes original papers, minireviews, case reports, and opinion pieces often combined into special topic issues that will educate clinicians and scientists with interests in the mechanisms of human development that bear on the treatment of infertility and emerging innovations in human ARTs. The guiding principles of male and female reproductive health impacting pre- and post-conceptional viability and developmental potential are emphasized within the purview of human reproductive health in current and future generations of our species.
The journal is published in cooperation with the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, an organization of more than 8,000 physicians, researchers, nurses, technicians and other professionals dedicated to advancing knowledge and expertise in reproductive biology.
