Background: Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is characterized by a loss of ovarian function before 40 years-of-age and represents an existing challenge cause of female infertility. POI is one of the dominant causes of cis-diaminedichloroplatinum (cisplatin, CDDP)-induced reproductive impairment. However, the detailed mechanisms underlying POI induced by CDDP remain unclear.Methods: The POI C57B6/J mouse model was created by administering CDDP. The effects of FKBP4 were investigated using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification analysis (iTRAQ), real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) and western blotting. Target prediction was predicted using TargetScan software. Levels of sex hormones were tested using Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA).Results: We found that the FKBP4 protein was down-regulated in the ovaries of CDDP model. Target prediction identified FKBP4 as a potential target for miR-483-5p, which was expressed at high levels in both the ovaries and serum of CDDP-POI mice, and in the serum from POI patients. In vitro experiments further confirmed that FKBP4 was the target for miR-483-5p in human cervical cancer cells (HeLa). The overexpression of FKBP4 in human granulosa cells (KGN) alleviated the apoptosis caused by CDDP and the overexpression of miR-483-5p. Furthermore, the overexpression of miR-483-5p in oocytes caused injury to the ovaries, and disrupted the levels of sex hormones in CDDP-POI mice (AMH: P < 0.01; E2: P < 0.01; FSH: P < 0.01).Conclusions: Analyses showed that miR-483-5p targets the FKBP4 protein in a mouse model of POI induced by CDDP. Elevated levels of miR-483-5p in oocytes could aggravate POI induced by CDDP by targeting FKBP4. Overall, our data demonstrate that miR-483-5p was responsible for the underlying pathophysiology of POI induced by chemotherapeutic treatments, such as CDDP.
