摘要:

近年来,子宫内膜上皮细胞类器官研究在生殖领域取得了显著进展。传统的二维细胞培养模型和动物实验难以准确还原子宫内膜的三维结构和生理功能,从而限制了对子宫内膜上皮细胞正常生理机制和相关疾病机制的深入研究。新兴的类器官技术为此提供了新途径,子宫内膜上皮细胞类器官通过干细胞或前体细胞在三维培养基中自行组织形成,成功地高度还原了在体子宫内膜腺体的特征。这种类器官模型不仅能够模拟子宫内膜上皮细胞在不同周期阶段的生理变化,还能够模拟囊胚与子宫内膜之间的复杂互动过程。此外,子宫内膜上皮细胞类器官系统为生殖领域的基础研究和临床研究提供了重要工具,包括生殖相关基础研究、疾病机制探索、药物筛选及靶向治疗研究等。这些研究可为深入了解子宫内膜的生物学特性、疾病机制以及相关疾病的治疗策略提供全新的思路和方法。

Abstract:

In recent years, significant progress has been made in the study of endometrial epithelial organoids in the field of reproduction. Traditional two-dimensional cell culture models and animal experiments fail to accurately replicate the three-dimensional structure and physiological functions of the endometrium, limiting the in-depth exploration of its normal physiological mechanisms and related disease mechanisms. Emerging organoid technologies have provided new avenues for research. These organoids, formed by self-organization of stem cells or progenitor cells in a three-dimensional culture system, faithfully recapitulate the characteristics of endometrial glands in situ. Not only can these organoid models mimic the changes in the endometrium at different stages of the menstrual cycle, but they can also simulate the interaction between the fertilized embryo and the endometrium. Moreover, organoid systems have become essential tools for fundamental research in the field of reproduction and for disease research, including studies related to reproductive biology, drug screening and development, disease mechanism exploration, drug action mechanisms, drug combination therapies, and targeted therapies. These studies have provided novel insights and methods for a deeper understanding of the biological properties of the endometrium, its disease mechanisms, and the development of therapeutic strategies for related disorders.

Key words: endometrial epithelial cells, organoids, drug screening
