The chemerin effect on granulosa cell transcriptome study showed its role in the expression of three molecules associated with PCOS, the adrenergic receptor alpha 1, propiomelanocortin and adiponectin in rat.
FY 2014-15
Summary
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) affects 10 % of women in reproductive age and accounts for 75% of women who are unable to ovulate. It is associated with obesity, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. In the ovary, it is associated with suppressed growth of the functional unit of the ovary (follicle) and androgen excess. The pathological basis of PCOS is complex, and genetic and environment factors appear to be involved. In the present application we have adopted a animal PCOS model to investigate the pathophysiology of PCOS by studying the potential impact of chemerin on the growth, development and function of the egg (oocyte), and determining if small regulatory RNAs (miRNAs) play a role in the mechanism of regulation in PCOS. My proposed studies will increase the current understanding of the pathophysiology of PCOS and facilitate the development of new treatment strategies for this complex syndrome.

Abstract
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) affects 10 % of women in reproductive age and accounts for 75% of women who are unable to ovulate.

The pathological basis of PCOS is complex, and genetic and environment factors appear to be involved. In the present application we have adopted a animal PCOS model to investigate the pathophysiology of PCOS by studying the potential impact of chemerin on the growth, development and function of the egg (oocyte), and determining if small regulatory RNAs (miRNAs) play a role in the mechanism of regulation in PCOS. My proposed studies will increase the current understanding of the pathophysiology of PCOS and facilitate the development of new treatment strategies for this complex syndrome.
