Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a common endocrine disorder, is associated with impaired oocyte development, leading to infertility. However, the pathogenesis of PCOS has not been completely elucidated. This study aimed to determine the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and epigenetic changes in the oocytes from a PCOS mouse model to identify the etiological factors. RNA-sequencing analysis revealed that 90 DEGs were upregulated and 27 DEGs were downregulated in mice with PCOS compared with control mice. DNA methylation analysis revealed 30 hypomethylated and 10 hypermethylated regions in the PCOS group. However, the DNA methylation status did not correlate with differential gene expression. The pathway enrichment analysis revealed that five DEGs (Rps21, Rpl36, Rpl36a, Rpl37a, and Rpl22l1) were enriched in ribosome-related pathways in the oocytes of mice with PCOS, and the immunohistochemical analysis revealed significantly upregulated expression levels of Rps21 and Rpl36. These results suggest that differential gene expression in the oocytes of mice in PCOS is related to impaired folliculogenesis. These findings improve our understanding of PCOS pathogenesis.
