During implantation, a symphony of interaction between the trophoblast originated from the trophectoderm of the implanting blastocyst and the endometrium leads to a successful pregnancy. Defective interaction between the trophoblast and endometrium often results in implantation failure, pregnancy loss, and a number of pregnancy complications. Owing to ethical concerns of using in vivo approaches to study human embryo implantation, various in vitro culture models of endometrium were established in the past decade ranging from two-dimensional cell-based to three-dimensional extracellular matrix (ECM)/tissue-based culture systems. Advanced organoid systems have also been established for recapitulation of different cellular components of the maternal-fetal interface, including the endometrial glandular organoids, trophoblast organoids and blastoids. However, there is no single ideal model to study the whole implantation process leaving more research to be done pursuing the establishment of a comprehensive in vitro model that can recapitulate the biology of trophoblast-endometrium interaction during early pregnancy. This would allow us to have better understanding of the physiological and pathological process of trophoblast-endometrium interaction during implantation.
在着床过程中,着床胚泡的滋养外胚层起源的滋养层与子宫内膜之间的相互作用的交响乐导致成功妊娠。滋养层和子宫内膜之间的功能障碍相互作用常常导致着床失败、妊娠丢失和许多妊娠并发症。由于使用体内方法研究人类胚胎着床的伦理问题,过去十年中建立了各种体外培养的子宫内膜模型,从二维基于细胞的到三维细胞外基质(ECM)/组织基培养系统。还建立了先进的类器官系统,以重现母体-胎儿界面的不同细胞成分,包括子宫内膜腺类器官、滋养层类器官和胚泡。然而,目前还没有一种理想的模型可以研究整个着床过程,需要进一步研究建立一个全面的体外模型,以再现早孕期间滋养层-子宫内膜相互作用的生物学特性。这将使我们能够更好地理解着床过程中滋养层-子宫内膜相互作用的生理和病理过程。
