ABSTRACT
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) has been linked with female infertility (FI). Nevertheless, our understanding of the molecular hallmarks and underlying mechanisms remains elusive. This research article aimed to find the hub genes, pathways, transcription factors, and miRNA involved. For this study, softwares like cytoscape, string, Enrichr, FFL loop, etc., were utilized. This research article employed differentially expressed genes (DEGs) to identify multiple biological targets to understand the association between T2D and female infertility (FI). Between T2D and FI, we found 3869 differentially expressed genes. We have also analyzed different pathways like thyroid hormone signaling pathways, AGE-RAGE signaling pathways in diabetic complications and ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis through pathway analysis. Moreover, hub genes MED17, PRKCG, THRA, FOXO1, NCOA2, PLCG2, COL1A1, CXCL8, PRPF19, ANAPC5, UBE2I, XIAP and KEAP1 have been identified. Additionally, these hub genes were subjected to identify the miRNA-mRNA regulation network specific to T2D-associated female infertility. In the FFL study (Feed Forward Loop), transcription factor (SP1, NFKB1, RELA and FOX01), miRNA (has-mir-7-5p, has-let-7a-5p, hsa-mir-16-5p, hsa-mir-155-5p, has-mir-122-5p, has-let-7b-5p, has-mir-124-3p, has-mir-34a-5p, has-mir-130a-3p, has-let-7i-5p, and hsa-mir-27a-3p) and six genes (XIAP, THRA, NCOA2, MED17, FOXO1, and COL1A1) among the thirteen key genes were recognized as regulator and inhibitor. Our analysis reveals that these genes can serve as a significant biomarker for female infertility linked with Type 2 Diabetes, through the prioritization of candidate genes. This study gives us insight into the molecular and cellular mechanism of T2D-associated FI. This finding helps in developing novel therapeutic approaches and will improve efficacy and reduce side effects of the treatment. This research requires further experimental investigation of the principal targets.
