Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Several studies have demonstrated that the physiological process of the ovary, including follicle development, maturity, ovulation, corpus luteum formation and regression, is related to the formation of extracellular matrix. However, matrix metalloproteinase 9 and connective tissue growth factors had a close relationship with the formation of extracellular matrix.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between the expression of connective tissue growth factor and matrix metalloproteinase 9 and polycystic ovary syndrome.
METHODS: The female SD rats with regular estrous cycle were randomly divided into control and model groups. The rats in the model group were intragastrically with letrozole to establish the model of polycystic ovary syndrome, while the rats in the control group were intragastrically with the same amount of carboxymethyl cellulose. When the natural law of estrous cycle of rats in the model group did not exist and consecutive interval appeared, rat serum and ovarian tissues were collected. Rats in the control group were detected by collecting specimen in the interval.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Radioimmunoassay and immunohistochemical staining results showed that compared with the control group, the expression of serum luteinizing hormone, serum prolactin levels, connective tissue growth factor in preantral follicles theca cytoplasm, connective tissue growth factors in follicular basement membrane cytoplasm, connective tissue growth factors in albuginea and matrix metalloproteinase 9 in corpus luteum significantly increased (P < 0.05). The contents of follicle stimulating hormone and serum estradiol, and expression of matrix metalloproteinase 9 in follicular basement membrane significantly decreased (P < 0.05). The 
results indicate that connective tissue growth factors may be related to the excessive growth of small follicles and ovulation disorders in polycystic ovary syndrome, while matrix metalloproteinase 9 may be related to ovulation disorders in polycystic ovary syndrome.
