Abstract

This article comments on the study by Zhang , which proposed that exosomes derived from hypoxia-injured endometrial epithelial cells promote human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell migration and differentiation into endometrial epithelial cells exosomal miR-137-3p. The authors demonstrated that miR-137-3p targets ubiquitin protein ligase E3C and activates signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 signaling, thereby driving epithelial lineage transition. While this study expands our understanding of exosome-mediated intercellular communication in endometrial repair, several key gaps remain. Notably, microRNA (miRNA) profiling was performed in human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells post-exosome treatment, not in the exosomes derived from hypoxia-injured endometrial epithelial cell themselves, leaving open whether miR-137-3p is directly transferred or indirectly induced. In addition, data on exosome characterization were unavailable, and the rationale for selecting miR-137-3p over other differentially expressed miRNAs was not well justified. Future studies should include direct exosomal miRNA content analysis, validation, and deeper mechanistic exploration of the ubiquitin protein ligase E3C-signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 ubiquitination axis to establish the clinical and biological relevance of this pathway.

摘要

本文对张的研究进行了评论,该研究提出缺氧损伤的子宫内膜上皮细胞来源的外泌体通过外泌体miR-137-3p促进人脐带间充质干细胞迁移并分化为子宫内膜上皮细胞。作者证明miR-137-3p靶向泛素蛋白连接酶E3C并激活信号转导子和转录激活子3信号,从而驱动上皮谱系转变。虽然这项研究扩展了我们对子宫内膜修复中外泌体介导的细胞间通讯的理解,但仍存在几个关键空白。值得注意的是,微小RNA(miRNA)分析是在人脐带间充质干细胞接受外泌体处理后进行的,而不是在缺氧损伤的子宫内膜上皮细胞本身来源的外泌体中进行,这使得miR-137-3p是直接转移还是间接诱导尚不确定。此外,外泌体表征的数据不可用,并且选择miR-137-3p而不是其他差异表达的miRNA的理由也没有充分的依据。未来的研究应包括直接的外泌体miRNA含量分析、验证以及对泛素蛋白连接酶E3C - 信号转导子和转录激活子3泛素化轴进行更深入的机制探索,以确定该途径的临床和生物学相关性。
