Abstract：
BACKGROUND:Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is mainly defined by hyperandrogenemia, from ovarian and adrenal origin, and is characterized by insulin resistance (IR). Studies found that raising in vivo non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) levels, which induces lipotoxicity, increases androgen levels and IR. The aim of this study was therefore to determine the effects of in vitro over-exposure to NEFA on androgen synthesis in a bovine adrenocortical cell model. METHODS:Bovine fasciculata/reticularis cells were cultured for 2days in the absence or presence of ACTH (10nmol/L) or Forskolin (fsk, 10μmol/L), alone or in combination with the saturated fatty acid (FA) palmitate (100μmol/L). Steroid production was measured in medium and corrected for initial cell seeding count. CYP17 protein expression and ERK1/2 phosphorylation were assessed by Western blotting. RESULTS:Under unstimulated conditions, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) levels were barely detected and no difference was observed after palmitate exposure, which was also the case for CYP17 expression and ERK1/2 phosphorylation. Under stimulation, palmitate exposure increased DHEA production by 38% and 69%, for ACTH and fsk, respectively, as compared to untreated conditions (Ps⩽0.05). In palmitate-treated vs untreated cells, fsk-stimulated ERK1/2 phosphorylation was reduced by 46% (P=0.0047), but stimulated CYP17 expression was not significantly affected. CONCLUSION:In a model of androgen-producing cells, under stimulated conditions, overexposure to saturated FAs significantly increases androgen production and reduces MEK/ERK activation. Therefore, this study is the first to demonstrate that lipotoxicity can directly trigger androgen overproduction in vitro, in addition to its well-described impact on IR, which strongly supports a central role of lipotoxicity in PCOS pathophysiology.
