摘要

该研究在 Nat Metab 报道,多内分泌代谢性卵巢综合征(PMOS)中颗粒细胞烟酰胺 N-甲基转移酶(NNMT)驱动的表观遗传机制参与疾病进展。小鼠颗粒细胞过表达 Nnmt 可降低 H3K27me3,上调视黄酸受体 β(RARB)表达,进而增强卵巢雄激素合成;雄激素过量又进一步抑制 H3K27me3,形成前馈环路,维持高雄激素并破坏卵泡发育。药理学抑制 NNMT 可恢复 H3K27me3、打断 RARB-雄激素反馈,并改善 PMOS 模型的代谢与激素表型,提示 NNMT-H3K27me3-RARB-雄激素轴是潜在治疗靶点。

原文摘要

Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) features intertwined reproductive, endocrine and metabolic defects, yet its initiating mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here we show that an epigenetic mechanism driven by nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) in granulosa cells contributes to disease progression in PMOS. We observe that Nnmt overexpression in mouse granulosa cells reduces histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3), leading to increased retinoic acid receptor beta (RARB) expression. RARB, in turn, amplifies ovarian androgen synthesis. The resulting androgen excess further suppresses H3K27me3, locking cells into a feedforward loop that sustains hyperandrogenism and disrupts follicle development. Pharmacological inhibition of NNMT restores H3K27me3, disrupts the RARB-androgen feedback circuit, and ameliorates both metabolic and hormonal phenotypes in PMOS models. Our findings suggest NNMT as a regulator of PMOS through metabolic and epigenetic reprogramming. The NNMT-H3K27me3-RARB-androgen axis emerges as a mechanistic nexus linking methionine and epigenetic dysregulation to PMOS pathogenesis and represents a tractable therapeutic target.

推荐理由:首次将甲硫氨酸代谢酶 NNMT 与 H3K27me3-RARB-雄激素前馈环路相连,为高雄激素性卵巢疾病提供新的机制解释与可成药靶点;机制链条完整且有药理干预验证,值得关注,但证据主要来自小鼠模型,向临床转化尚待人群数据。
