This review represents a multispecies summary of the role of pappalysins in female reproductive health. It discusses the potential use of PAPPA and PAPPA2 as biomarkers for oocyte and embryo quality and fetal development.
Pappalysin 1 and 2 (PAPPA and PAPPA2) are metzincin metalloproteinases expressed in the ovaries, endometrium, placenta, and several other organs. These enzymes are responsible for the liberation and regulation of localized bioactive insulin-like growth factors 1 and 2 (IGF1 and IGF2) via the proteolytic cleavage of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins. Several studies have implicated pappalysins as vital components for female fecundity. During the reproductive cycle, PAPPA peaks in dominant ovarian follicles before ovulation due to its response to gonadotropins, increasing follicular IGF availability. In human in vitro fertilization studies, PAPPA has been tested as a biomarker of oocyte and embryo quality. Studies with null mice resulting in offspring with reduced body weight and bone density have demonstrated the requirement of PAPPA for normal fetal development. Evidence supports a role for PAPPA in the establishment and maintenance of viable pregnancies through its influence on endometrial receptivity. Under the influence of PAPPA within the placenta, IGF1 and IGF2 influence mitogenic activity, trophoblastic invasion, and placental development. In addition, PAPPA has been proposed as a biomarker to identify aneuploidies in utero as well as a biomarker to recognize ectopic pregnancies. This narrative review examines PAPPA and PAPPA2 expression and localization, regulation, and function in the female reproductive tract in multiple species. Furthermore, it examines the role of PAPPA and PAPPA2 preceding and throughout pregnancy and as a molecular marker of oocyte maturation, embryo quality and development.
本综述总结了多种物种中妊娠相关血浆蛋白在女性生殖健康中的作用。它讨论了妊娠相关血浆蛋白A（PAPPA）和妊娠相关血浆蛋白2（PAPPA2）作为卵母细胞和胚胎质量以及胎儿发育生物标志物的潜在用途。
妊娠相关血浆蛋白1和2（PAPPA和PAPPA2）是在卵巢、子宫内膜、胎盘和其他几个器官中表达的金属锌蛋白酶。这些酶通过蛋白水解切割胰岛素样生长因子结合蛋白，负责局部生物活性胰岛素样生长因子1和2（IGF1和IGF2）的释放和调节。多项研究表明妊娠相关血浆蛋白是女性生育能力的重要组成部分。在生殖周期中，由于PAPPA对促性腺激素的反应，其在排卵前的优势卵泡中达到峰值，增加了卵泡中IGF的可用性。在人类体外受精研究中，PAPPA已被用作卵母细胞和胚胎质量的生物标志物。对基因敲除小鼠的研究表明，PAPPA对正常胎儿发育是必需的，这些小鼠的后代体重和骨密度降低。有证据支持PAPPA通过影响子宫内膜容受性在建立和维持 viable 妊娠中发挥作用。在胎盘内PAPPA的影响下，IGF1和IGF2影响有丝分裂活性、滋养层细胞侵袭和胎盘发育。此外，PAPPA已被提议作为识别子宫内非整倍体以及识别异位妊娠的生物标志物。本叙述性综述研究了PAPPA和PAPPA2在多种物种女性生殖道中的表达、定位、调节和功能。此外，它还研究了PAPPA和PAPPA2在妊娠前和整个妊娠期间的作用，以及作为卵母细胞成熟、胚胎质量和发育的分子标志物的作用。
原文中“viable”未翻译完整，推测可能是“可存活的”，但需结合更完整的背景信息来准确判断。这里暂且按照原文呈现。
