General Comment Zhou C, et al reported the ovarian expression of chemokines and their receptors. Recent studies suggest involvement of the immune system, including leukocytes and cytokines/chemokines, in various ovarian functions such as ovulation. Using the RT-PCR method, we examined expression of various chemokines and their receptors in normal mouse ovaries. Among seventeen examined chemokines (17 CC types and two CXC types), expressions of CC types MCP-1 and RANTES, and CXC type IP-10 were detected at high levels, while most CC types expressed at variable or low levels. Only five chemokines were not detected in the ovary. We next examined expression of chemokine receptors. CCR1 and CCR2, which are the receptors for MCP-1 and RANTES, were also expressed at constitutively high levels while others were not detectable. We further showed that a significant part of expression of both detected chemokines and receptors originated from peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) circulating in the ovary. However, ovarian tissue was the major contributor of expression. Constitutive expression of several chemokines and their receptors suggests frequent migrations/movements of leukocytes in the ovary, which may be involved in ovarian functions other than ovulation.

NCBI Summary: This antimicrobial gene encodes a chemokine of the CXC subfamily and ligand for the receptor CXCR3. Binding of this protein to CXCR3 results in pleiotropic effects, including stimulation of monocytes, natural killer and T-cell migration, and modulation of adhesion molecule expression.

Comment Elevated serum interferon γ-inducible protein-10 in women with polycystic ovary syndrome. Deng H et al. (2017) Interferon γ-induced protein 10 kDa (IP10/CXCL10) is a chemokine related to endocrine disorders; however, the serum concentrations of IP10 in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have not yet been reported. Therefore, we investigated whether IP10 is increased in PCOS patients and its potential clinical value in PCOS patients. For this research, the serum IP10, glucose, insulin, high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and total testosterone (TT) concentrations were measured in 60 women with PCOS and healthy controls. The median IP10 concentration was 45.60 pg/mL [interquartile range (IQR):29.75, 79.69], which was significantly higher than that of the body mass index (BMI)-matched controls (median: 36.46 pg/mL; IQR:28.98, 45.80). In the multivariate linear regression analysis, hs-CRP and the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index (HOMA2-IR) were independent predictors of the IP10 values, while FSH was inversely associated with the IP10.No significant association was observed between the IP10 and BMI, glucose, LH and TT. The serum IP10 concentrations increase in women with PCOS, moreover, IP10 appears to be correlated with the inflammatory and IR statuses of PCOS. IP10 may be a potential biomarker to estimate the disease activity of PCOS.//////////////////
