Abstract

ObjectiveWe aimed to study the relationship between ferroptosis proteins and reproductive outcomes of infertile patients with PCOS and construct the related prognostic model.MethodsThese endometrium samples of the study were collected from 33 women with PCOS and 7 control women with successful pregnancies at the Reproductive Center of Lanzhou University Second Hospital, September 2019 to September 2020. The 40 patients’ endometrium was identified the differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis and Gene Ontology (GO) showed that the DEPs related pathways and functions between PCOS and controls. Subsequently, univariate Cox regression analysis and Lasso regression were used to identifying independent prognostic ferroptosis proteins, which were utilized to establish a prognostic model. Then the performance of the prognostic model was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and decision curve analysis (DCA). Then clinical data and prognostic model were used to predict the reproductive outcomes of PCOS patients by constructing the nomograms. Finally, we performed the single sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) to explore the correlation between risk scores and immune status.ResultsA total of 5331 proteins were identified, 391 proteins were differentially expressed in the PCOS and controls. The KEGG analysis revealed that the ferroptosis pathway was significantly different between PCOS and controls. 5 ferroptosis proteins (GPX4, DPP4, G6PD, PCBP1, and PCBP2) prognostic model (FerSig) was constructed via Cox regression and Lasso regression. Patients were separated into high and low-risk groups according to the FerSig. Kaplan-Meier curve showed that patients in the low-risk group had much better reproductive outcomes than those in the high-risk group. The DCA showed that the risk score was an independent predictive factor for reproductive outcomes. Compared with clinical data, ROC curve analysis indicated the FerSig proteins as a potential diagnostic and prognostic factor in PCOS patients. Functional analysis revealed that the FerSig proteins and immune microenvironment were correlated to the prognosis of PCOS.ConclusionThe prognostic model focused on the FerSig proteins could predict the reproductive outcomes of PCOS patients with decreased endometrial receptivity, and provided theoretical basis for individualized treatment.
