Serum granulosa cell-derived TNF- α promotes inflammation and apoptosis of renal tubular cells and PCOS-related kidney injury through NF-κB signaling
In this study, we investigated the mediators responsible for PCOS-related kidney injury. We found that tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) levels were significantly increased in serum and primary cultured granulosa cells (GCs) from PCOS patients. Serum TNF-α levels were positively correlated with serum testosterone and luteinizing hormone (LH)/follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) ratio, suggesting its positive role in the severity of PCOS. Serum TNF-α levels were also positively correlated with the levels of urinary KapU, LamU, α1-MU and β2-MU, the markers for renal tubular cell-derived proteinuria. We established a PCOS mous...

Clinicopathological analysis of patients with molecularly confirmed stage I adult granulosa cell tumors and prediction of recurrence
CONCLUSIONS: The type of primary surgical procedure, ERα score, and Ki-67 index are independent predictors of recurrence for patients with stage I AGCT. Our predictive model based on these factors showed good performance.PMID:37481922 | DOI:10.1016/j.ygyno.2023.07.007 (Source: Gynecologic Oncology)

Integrating network pharmacology and experimental verification to explore the pharmacological mechanisms of asparagus against polycystic ovary syndrome
CONCLUSION: The therapeutic effect of ASP on PCOS is mainly achieved by targeting PRKCA through the 7 active components of ASP. Mechanistically, ASP alleviated the course of PCOS through antioxidant, anti-inflammatory effects, and PRKCA was its potential target.PMID:37393270 | DOI:10.1186/s13048-023-01210-5 (Source: Cell Research)

Reclassification of two germline DICER1 splicing variants leads to DICER1 syndrome diagnosis
We present two unrelated patients suspected to have DICER1 syndrome. Both females (aged 13 and 15  years) presented with multinodular goiter (thyroid follicular nodular disease) and ovarian tumours. One was diagnosed with an ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumour (SLCT) and the other, with an ovarian juvenile granulosa cell tumour, later reclassified as a retiform variant of SLCT. Genetic screening showed no germline pathogenic variants inDICER1. However, two potentially splicing variants were found,DICER1 c.5365-4A>G and c.5527+3A>G. Also, typical somaticDICER1 RNase IIIb hotspot mutations were detected in the thyroid ...

Ovarian juvenile granulosa cell tumors with Ollier ’s disease in children with IDH1 gene somatic mutation
Conclusion: The incidence of ovarian juvenile granulosa cell tumors with Ollier’s disease in children may be caused by generalized mesodermal dysplasia, IDH1 gene mutation may play a facilitated role in this process. Surgical operation is the main treatment. We suggest that patients with ovarian juvenile granulosa cell tumors and Ollier’s disease should undergo regular investigation.
