FOXP3、TGF-β1在子宫内膜异位症诊疗中的研究进展 Research Progress of FOXP3 and TGF-β1 in Diagnosis and Treatment of Endometriosis Research Progress of FOXP3 and TGF-β1 in Diagnosis and Treatment of Endometriosis DOI: 10.12677/ACM.2024.142393, PDF, 被引量 作者: 刘佳伟:内蒙古医科大学第一临床医学院,内蒙古 呼和浩特;索 静*:内蒙古医科大学附属医院妇产科,内蒙古 呼和浩特 关键词: 子宫内膜异位症;FOXP3;TGF-β1;免疫抑制;Endometriosis; FOXP3; TGF-β1; Immunosuppression 作者: 刘佳伟:内蒙古医科大学第一临床医学院,内蒙古 呼和浩特;索 静*:内蒙古医科大学附属医院妇产科,内蒙古 呼和浩特 关键词: 子宫内膜异位症;FOXP3;TGF-β1;免疫抑制;Endometriosis; FOXP3; TGF-β1; Immunosuppression 摘要: 子宫内膜异位症严重影响育龄期女性的生活质量,其发病机制至今尚未阐明。调节性T细胞在机体免疫抑制中发挥关键作用,近年来大量研究证明,FOXP3相关免疫抑制可影响肿瘤微环境,在其发生发展中起到关键性作用,肿瘤微环境与内异症局部微环境相似,免疫功能异常在内异症发生发展中至关重要。TGF-β1可在免疫排斥和免疫抑制中发挥作用,参与子宫内膜异位症的发生发展过程。本文主要探究FOXP3、TGF-β1与内异症发病机制的相关性,为其免疫治疗提供新方向。 Abstract: Endometriosis seriously affects the quality of life of women of childbearing age, and its pathogenesis has not been elucidated. Regulatory T cells play a key role in immunosuppression. In recent years, a large number of studies have proved that FOXP3-related immunosuppression can affect the tumor microenvironment and play a key role in its occurrence and development. Tumor microenviron-ment is similar to the local microenvironment of endometriosis, and immune dysfunction plays an important role in the occurrence and development of endometriosis. TGF-β1 may play a role in im-mune rejection and immunosuppression, and participate in the occurrence and development of endometriosis. This article mainly explores the correlation between FOXP3, TGF-β1 and the patho-genesis of endometriosis, and provides a new direction for its immunotherapy. 文章引用:刘佳伟, 索静.
