BACKGROUND Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a common metabolic disorder in premenopausal woman, characterized by hyperandrogenism, oligoanovulation, and insulin resistance. microRNAs play pivotal roles in regulating key factors of PCOS. However, relevant research remains limited. This study aimed to reveal the role and potential mechanism of miR-483 in PCOS. MATERIAL AND METHODS PCOS patients (n=20) were recruited for detecting miR-483 expression in lesion and normal ovary cortex. Human granulosa-like tumor cell line KGN was used to alter miR-483 expression by cell transfection. Cell viability and proliferation were analyzed by MTT assay and colony formation assay, and cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry. Interaction between miR-483 and IGF1 was verified by luciferase reporter assay. KGN cells were further treated by insulin to investigate the relationship between miR-483 and insulin. RESULTS miR-483 was significantly down-regulated in lesion ovary cortex from PCOS patients (P&lt;0.001). In KGN cells, overexpression of miR-483 inhibited cell viability and proliferation, and induced cell cycle arrest. miR-483 also inhibited CCNB1, CCND1, and CDK2. miR-483 sponge induced the opposite effects. miR-483 directly targeted IGF1 3'UTR, and IGF1 promoted KGN cell proliferation and reversed miR-483-inhibited cell viability. Insulin treatment in KGN cells inhibited miR-483, and promoted IGF1 and cell proliferation. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that miR-483 is a PCOS suppressor inhibiting cell proliferation, possibly via targeting IGF1, and that it is involved in insulin-induced cell proliferation. miR-483 is a potential alternative for diagnosing and treating PCOS.
