Abstract: Objective To explore the expressions of local inflammatory factors and glucose transporter protein type-4(GLUT-4)in the endometrium of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS), and to analyze the correlation between insulin resistance(IR)and the expressions of inflammatory factors and GLUT-4. Methods A total of 60 PCOS patients treated during June 2018 and July 2020 were enrolled. Based on the homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR), the patients were divided into IR PCOS group(n=30)and non-IR PCOS group(n=30). Meanwhile, 60 non-PCOS patients were collected and divided into IR group(n=30)and normal control group(n=30). Follicle stimulating hormone(FSH), luteining hormone(LH), estradiol(E2), testosterone(T), prolactin(PRL)and anti-Mullerian hormone(AMH)were detected. The expressions of tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α), nuclear factor-kappa B(NF-κB)and GLUT-4 in the endometrium were detected with immunohistochemistry. Results (1) There were significant differences in body mass index(BMI), AMH, LH and T among the 4 groups(F=57.35, 29.54, 16.77, 21.20, P<0.001). Group A had higher BMI than group B; group C had higher BMI than group D. Groups A and B had higher levels of AMH and LH than groups C and D. Group A had higher T than group B. (2) There were significant differences in expressions of TNF-α, NF-κBp65 and GLUT-4 among the 4 groups(F=76.90, 45.13, 47.75, P<0.001). Group A had higher expressions of TNF-α and NF-κBp65 but lower GLUT-4 than group B. Group C had higher expressions of TNF-α and NF-κBp65 but lower expression of GLUT-4 than group D. (3)The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that HOMA-IR was positively correlated with the expression of NF-κBp65 but negatively correlated with the expression of GLUT-4 in PCOS and non-PCOS patients(P<0.05); HOMA-IR was positively correlated with BMI in non-PCOS patients(P<0.05). Conclusion Insulin resistance is associated with NF-κBp65 and GLUT-4 in PCOS patients. It may increase the expressions of local inflammatory factors and decrease the expression of GLUT-4 in the endometrium.
