The follicular fluid metabolome differs according to the endometriosis phenotype

Résumé

Research question: Is there a follicular fluid-specific metabolic profile in deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) depending on the presence of an associated ovarian endometrioma (OMA) that could lead to the identification of biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis of the disease?Design: In this prospective cohort study, proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) experiments were carried out on 50 follicular fluid samples from patients presenting with DIE, associated or not associated with an OMA, and 29 follicular fluid samples from patients with infertility caused by a tubal obstruction.Results: Concentrations of glucose, citrate, creatine and amino acids such as tyrosine and alanine were lower in women with DIE than control participants, whereas concentrations of lactate, pyruvate, lipids and ketone bodies were higher. Metabolic analysis revealed enhanced concentrations of glycerol and ketone bodies in patients with OMA, indicative of an activation of lipolysis followed by beta-oxidation. Concentrations of lactate and pyruvate were increased in patients without OMA, whereas the concentration of glucose was decreased, highlighting activation of the anaerobic glycolysis pathway. Differences in concentrations of amino acids such as threonine and glutamine were also statistically relevant in discriminating between the presence or absence of OMA.Conclusions: Results indicate a mitochondrial dysregulation in endometriosis phenotypes, with a modified balance between anaerobic glycolysis and beta-oxidation in OMA phenotypes that could affect the fertility of women with endometriosis. As the composition of the follicular fluid has been shown to be correlated with oocyte development and outcome of implantation after fertilization, these findings may help explain the high level of infertility in these patients.
