Abstract: Objective To explore the expression and significance of Forkhead box protein O1(FOXO1)in ovarian granulosa cells of patients suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS). Methods A total of 130 patients, including 67 PCOS patients and 63 controls, were enrolled. The expression of FOXO1 in ovarian granulosa cells was examined by real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR(qRT-PCR), and the clinical significance was analyzed. Results PCOS patients had significantly higher body mass index(BMI), homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance(HOMA-IR), luteotropic hormone(LH), testosterone(T), anti-Mullerian hormone(AMH), average follicle count(AFC)levels(all P<0.05), but lower FSH level(P<0.05)than controls. Compared with controls, the expression of FOXO1 was much lower in granulosa cells of PCOS patients(P<0.05). Binary Logistic regression analysis revealed that FOXO1, AFC and HOMA-IR were risk factors influencing the occurrence of PCOS(P<0.05). Conclusion The lower expression of FOXO1 in the granulosa cells of PCOS patients may play an important role in the occurrence and development of PCOS.
