| Title | Let-7e modulates the proliferation and the autophagy of human granulosa cells by suppressing p21 signaling pathway in polycystic ovary syndrome without hyperandrogenism. |

| Abstract |
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine and metabolic disorder in reproductive-aged women, and its pathogenesis is still under debate. Recent studies suggest crucial roles for microRNAs (miRNAs) in PCOS development. The let-7 family miRNAs constitute the most abundant miRNAs in human granulosa cells (GCs), and plays an important role in follicular development. However, research on the let-7e implications of the non-hyperandrogenic (non-HA) phenotype remains unclear. This study aimed at determining the role of let-7e in the progression of PCOS. We performed quantitative real-time PCR to examine the levels of let-7e in fifty-two non-HA PCOS patients and fifty-two controls. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used to reveal the diagnostic value of let-7e in non-HA PCOS. Using an immortalized human granulosa cell line, KGN, we investigated the influence of let-7e on cell proliferation and autophagy. Our data substantiated the expression of let-7e was significantly increased in non-HA PCOS group, and associated with an increased antral follicle count. The ROC curve indicated a major separation between non-HA PCOS group and the control group. Let-7e knockdown suppressed cell proliferation and enhanced cell autophagy by activating p21 pathway. Conversely, let-7e overexpression promoted cell proliferation and inhibited cell autophagy by suppressing p21 pathway. Our results indicate that increased let-7e levels in non-HA PCOS GCs may contribute to excessive follicular activation and growth, thereby involving in the pathogenesis of PCOS. Let-7e may thus be a potential therapeutic target in non-HA PCOS. |
