Abstract
Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is defined as onset of menopause characterized by amenorrhea, hypergonadotropism, and hypoestrogenism, before the age of 40 years. The POI is increasing, which seriously affects the quality of patients' life. Due to its diversity of pathogenic factors, complex pathogenesis and limited treatment methods, the search for finding effective treatment of POI has become a hotspot. Stem cells are characterized by the ability of self-renewal and differentiation and play an important role in the regeneration of injured tissues, which is therapy is expected to be used in the treatment of POI. The aim of this review is to summarize the pathogenic mechanisms and the research progress of POI treatment with stem cells from different sources.
过早性卵巢功能不全(POI)是指在 40 岁之前出现以闭经、促性腺激素过剩和雌激素过低为特征的绝经。更年期综合症的发病率越来越高,严重影响了患者的生活质量。由于其致病因素多样、发病机制复杂、治疗手段有限,寻找有效治疗 POI 的方法已成为热点。干细胞具有自我更新和分化的能力,在损伤组织的再生中发挥着重要作用,有望用于 POI 的治疗。本综述旨在总结不同来源干细胞治疗POI的致病机制和研究进展。
期刊介绍:
Journal of Ovarian Research is an open access, peer reviewed, online journal that aims to provide a forum for high-quality basic and clinical research on ovarian function, abnormalities, and cancer. The journal focuses on research that provides new insights into ovarian functions as well as prevention and treatment of diseases afflicting the organ.
Topical areas include, but are not restricted to:
Ovary development, hormone secretion and regulation
Follicle growth and ovulation
Infertility and Polycystic ovarian syndrome
Regulation of pituitary and other biological functions by ovarian hormones
Ovarian cancer, its prevention, diagnosis and treatment
Drug development and screening
Role of stem cells in ovary development and function.
