Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex and multifaceted disorder that has been extensively studied from various angles, including genomics, metabolomics, and other multiomics approaches. This narrative review seeks to provide an updated understanding of PCOS, with a particular focus on metabolomics. PCOS encompasses four primary phenotypes: Classic PCOS with or without polycystic ovary morphology, ovulatory PCOS, and non-hyperandrogenic PCOS. Each phenotype exhibits distinct clinical and biochemical characteristics. Classic PCOS, characterized by hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance (IR), and metabolic complications, has garnered significant attention in recent studies. In the pursuit of unraveling PCOS’s pathophysiology, researchers have embraced a multiomics approach, exploring the genome, epigenome, transcriptome, exosomes, proteome, and metabolome. The genomic landscape of PCOS includes genes related to androgen synthesis, regulation, insulin receptors, and growth factors, among others. Epigenetic mechanisms have also been investigated, revealing the roles of non-coding RNA, histone acetylation, and deacetylation. Transcriptomic biomarkers and mitochondrial RNAs targets, such as miR-9 and miR-32, have been explored in granulosa cells of PCOS patients. Metabolomics studies have identified various biomarkers and metabolic pathways that differentiate PCOS from healthy individuals. A diverse range of alterations in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism has been observed, shedding light on the underpinnings of PCOS-related metabolic dysfunction. These studies have uncovered numerous biomolecules with potential relevance to PCOS, including kininogen 1, cytoketatin 9, and many others. In addition, the intricate relationships between IR, inflammation, and metabolic factors have been elucidated. Recent research extends beyond high-end research centers, even using urine samples to identify metabolomic markers for PCOS. This approach has led to the discovery of distinct biomarker panels related to metabolic pathways that differentiate PCOS from healthy subjects. In summary, PCOS is a complex and heterogeneous condition, with multiomics studies offering promising avenues for a deeper understanding of its pathophysiology. These studies may ultimately provide valuable insights that can revolutionize the diagnosis and treatment of PCOS, ending a centurylong scientific expedition with a crescendo of discoveries.
