Abstract

Uterine aging is the process of the senescence of uterine tissue, observed in all middle-aged mammals. Since the aging-related changes in the uterus are associated with infertility and poor pregnancy outcomes, with a lack of studies discussing uterine aging, authors reviewed uterine aging and its consequences on reproduction. MEDLINE, Scopus, and PubMed searches during the years 1990-2023 were performed using a combination of keywords and terms on such topics. According to the author's evaluation, articles were identified, selected, and included in this narrative review. The aging process has an unfavorable impact on the uterus of mammals. There are different and selected molecular pathways related to uterine aging in humans and animals. Uterine aging impairs the function of the uterine myometrium, neurofibers of the human uterus, and human endometrium. These biological pathways modulate oxidative stress, anti-inflammatory response, inflammation, mitochondrial function, DNA damage repair, etc. All these dysregulations have a role in poorer reproductive performance and pregnancy outcomes in older mammals. The most recent data suggest that uterine aging is accompanied by genetic, epigenetic, metabolic, and immunological changes. Uterine aging has a negative impact on the reproductive performance in mammalian species, but it could be potentially modulated by pharmacological agents, such as quercetin and dasatinib.

摘要

子宫衰老指的是子宫组织的衰老过程,在所有中年哺乳动物中都有观察到。由于与衰老相关的子宫变化与不孕和不良妊娠结局有关,而且缺乏关于子宫衰老的研究,作者综述了子宫衰老及其对生殖的影响。作者使用关键词和术语的组合,在 1990 年至 2023 年期间对 MEDLINE、Scopus 和 PubMed 进行了搜索。根据作者的评估,确定、选择并纳入了本文的叙述性综述。衰老过程对哺乳动物的子宫有不利影响。人类和动物的子宫衰老有不同的、有选择性的分子途径。子宫衰老会损害子宫平滑肌、人类子宫的神经纤维和人类子宫内膜的功能。这些生物学途径调节氧化应激、抗炎反应、炎症、线粒体功能、DNA 损伤修复等。所有这些失调都在老年哺乳动物较差的生殖性能和妊娠结局中发挥作用。最新数据表明,子宫衰老伴随着遗传、表观遗传、代谢和免疫变化。子宫衰老对哺乳动物的生殖性能有负面影响,但它可能通过药理学制剂(如槲皮素和达沙替尼)进行潜在调节。
