摘要:

复发性流产(recurrent spontaneous abortion,RSA)是一种常见的病理性妊娠,其发病机制复杂,常涉及遗传、内分泌、免疫系统、生殖结构异常和环境等多方面因素,人群发病率约为2%~5%。目前仍有约50%患者的发病机制尚不明确,因此,探索新的RSA的生理病理机制迫在眉睫。研究表明表观遗传学通过激活或抑制决定细胞分化、增殖和凋亡等基本生命过程的关键基因表达,在RSA的发生、发展中发挥着重要作用,这些基因不仅有望成为诊断RSA的潜在生物标志物,也可能是治疗RSA的新靶点,具有极其重要的临床意义。从表观遗传学角度,综述DNA 甲基化、组蛋白修饰和非编码 RNA调控等表观遗传调控在RSA中的研究进展,以期为RSA的诊疗提供新的视角。

Abstract:

Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is a kind of common pathological pregnancy. The pathogenesis of RSA is complex, involving in many factors such as heredity, endocrine, immune system, abnormal reproductive structure, environment, and so on. Although the incidence of RSA is about 2%-5%, the etiology and pathogenesis of about 50% cases remain unclear. A growing number of studies have shown that epigenetics plays a subtle role in the occurrence and development of RSA through activating or inhibiting the expression of key genes that determine cell differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis. These genes are expected to become potential biomarkers for the diagnosis of RSA, but also new targets for the treatment of RSA. From the perspective of epigenetics, we review the research progress of DNA methylation, histone modification and noncoding RNA regulation in RSA, so as to provide a new perspective for the diagnosis and treatment of RSA.
