It has been found that long noncoding RNA HOTAIR, microRNA‐130a (miR‐130a) and insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF1) expression are associated with ovarian cancer, thus, we hypothesised that the HOTAIR/miR‐130a/IGF1 axis might associate with endocrine disorders and biological behaviours of ovarian granulosa cells in rat models of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The gene discussed is HOTAIR; the disease is ovarian carcinoma.
