Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine-metabolic disorder characterized by hyperandrogenism and ovulatory dysfunction but also obesity and hyperinsulinemia. These characteristics induce an insulin-resistant state in tissues such as the endometrium, affecting its reproductive functions. Myo-inositol (MYO) is an insulin-sensitizing compound used in PCOS patients; however, its insulin-sensitizing mechanism is unclear. To understand the relationship of MYO with insulin action in endometrial cells, sodium/myo-inositol transporter 1 (SMIT-1) (MYO-transporter), and MYO effects on protein levels related to the insulin pathway were evaluated. SMIT-1 was assessed in endometrial tissue from women with normal weight, obesity, insulin resistance, and PCOS; additionally, using an in vitro model of human endometrial cells exposed to an environment resembling hyperinsulinemic-obese-PCOS, MYO effect was evaluated on p-AMPK and GLUT-4 levels and glucose uptake by Western blot, immunocytochemistry, and confocal microscopy, respectively. SMIT-1 was detected in endometrial tissue from all groups and decreased in PCOS and obesity ( P < 0.05 vs. normal weight ). In the in vitro model, PCOS conditions decreased p-AMPK levels, while they were restored with MYO ( P < 0.05). The diminished GLUT-4 protein levels promoted by PCOS environment were restored by MYO through SMIT-1 and p-AMPK-dependent mechanism ( P < 0.05). Also, MYO restored glucose uptake in cells under PCOS condition through a p-AMPK-dependent mechanism. Finally, these results were similar to those obtained with metformin treatment in the same in vitro conditions. Consequently, MYO could be a potential insulin sensitizer through its positive effects on insulin-resistant tissues as PCOS-endometrium, acting through SMIT-1, provoking AMPK activation and elevated GLUT-4 levels and, consequently, increase glucose uptake by human endometrial cells. Therefore, MYO may be used as an effective treatment option in insulin-resistant PCOS women.
