Abstract

Purpose: To review how DNA methylation affects ovarian steroidogenesis in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), with evidence from human and animal studies.

Recent findings: Women with PCOS show global DNA hypomethylation and altered methylation of ovarian steroidogenic genes, contributing to hyperandrogenism. Animal models of PCOS mirror these epigenetic changes and support a causal role, highlighting DNA methylation signatures as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

DNA甲基化及其对多囊卵巢综合征女性卵巢类固醇生成的影响：来自人类和动物模型的见解

目的：回顾DNA甲基化如何影响多囊卵巢综合征（PCOS）卵巢甾体生成，并结合人类和动物研究的证据。最近的研究发现：患有多囊卵巢综合征的女性表现出整体DNA低甲基化和卵巢类固醇基因甲基化改变，导致高雄激素症。多囊卵巢综合征的动物模型反映了这些表观遗传变化，并支持因果关系，突出了DNA甲基化特征作为诊断生物标志物和治疗靶点。
