摘要:卵母细胞分泌的细胞因子在卵泡发育过程中起重要作用,如生长分化因子-9(GDF-9)可调控卵泡的早期发育和颗粒细胞凋亡。补肾法能有效调节卵巢早衰患者GDF-9蛋白表达、促进卵泡正常发育、抑制卵泡异常闭锁,从而改善卵巢功能。本文对补肾法通过调节GDF-9治疗卵巢早衰的研究进展做一综述,为该病防治提供参考。

Abstract: Cytokines secreted by oocytes play an important role during the course of follicular development. For example, the growth differentiation factor-9 (GDF-9) can regulate the early development of follicles and granulosa cells apoptosis. Bushen Therapy can effectively regulate the expression of GDF-9 protein in patients with premature ovarian failure (POF), promote follicular development, and inhibit abnormal follicular atresia, thereby improving ovarian functions. This article reviewed the research progress in the treatment of POF with Bushen Therapy by regulating GDF-9 expression, which could provide references for the prevention and treatment of POF.

卵巢早衰(premature ovarian failure,POF),是指從性成熟开始到40岁之前出现的月经失调甚至闭经及不孕的现象,伴不同程度的低雌激素血症。主要特点是原发性或继发性闭经伴随卵泡刺激素(FSH)、黄体生成素(LH)升高和雌激素(E2)降低(FSH>40 mIU/mL、E2<25 pg/mL)[1]。妇女的平均自然绝经年龄为48~52岁,POF在一般人群中发病率为1%~3%,是原发性闭经的20%~25%,继发性闭经的10%~20%[2]。该病病因尚不明确,相关病因复杂,诊断和治疗较为困难。
近年研究表明,中药能有效调节下丘脑-垂体-卵巢轴的激素水平,中医治疗在临床上的使用也越来越广泛,补肾中药在治疗POF过程中的作用机制逐渐成为研究热点,如生长分化因子-9(GDF-9)、人骨成形蛋白(BMP)-15、丝氨酸/苏氨酸激酶受体(Smads)信号通路等。
1 生长分化因子-9与卵巢早衰
卵巢功能主要由卵母细胞的数量和质量决定,其可通过分泌细胞调控因子来支持颗粒细胞和自身的生长发育[3-4],一旦卵巢内卵泡数目减少或质量下降,会出现一系列激素紊乱症状,不及时治疗可能会影响生育能力。……
