Abstract

As advantageous as sexual reproduction is during progeny generation, it is also an expensive and treacherous reproductive strategy. The viviparous eukaryote has evolved to survive stress before, during, and after pregnancy. An important and conserved intracellular pathway for the control of metabolic stress is autophagy. The autophagy process occurs in multiple stages through the coordinated action of autophagy-related genes. This review summarizes the evidence that autophagy is an integral component of reproduction. Additionally, we discuss emerging in vitro techniques that will enable cellular and molecular studies of autophagy and its associated pathways in reproduction. Finally, we discuss the role of autophagy in the pathogenesis and progression of several pregnancy-related disorders such as preterm birth, preeclampsia, and intra-uterine growth restriction, and its potential as a therapeutic target.

自噬在生殖和妊娠相关疾病中的作用

虽然有性生殖在后代产生过程中具有优势，但它也是一种昂贵而危险的生殖策略。胎生真核生物在妊娠前、妊娠中和妊娠后都在进化以应对压力。自噬是控制代谢应激的一个重要而保守的细胞内途径。自噬过程通过自噬相关基因的协调作用分多个阶段进行。本综述总结了自噬是生殖不可或缺的组成部分的证据。此外，我们还讨论了新出现的体外技术，这些技术将有助于对自噬及其在生殖过程中的相关途径进行细胞和分子研究。最后，我们讨论了自噬在早产、子痫前期和宫内生长受限等几种妊娠相关疾病的发病机制和进展中的作用，以及自噬作为治疗靶点的潜力。

期刊介绍： Science has many big remaining questions. To address them, we will need to work collaboratively and across disciplines. The goal of iScience is to help fuel that type of interdisciplinary thinking. iScience is a new open-access journal from Cell Press that provides a platform for original research in the life, physical, and earth sciences. The primary criterion for publication in iScience is a significant contribution to a relevant field combined with robust results and underlying methodology. The advances appearing in iScience include both fundamental and applied investigations across this interdisciplinary range of topic areas. To support transparency in scientific investigation, we are happy to consider replication studies and papers that describe negative results. We know you want your work to be published quickly and to be widely visible within your community and beyond. With the strong international reputation of Cell Press behind it, publication in iScience will help your work garner the attention and recognition it merits. Like all Cell Press journals, iScience prioritizes rapid publication. Our editorial team pays special attention to high-quality author service and to efficient, clear-cut decisions based on the information available within the manuscript. iScience taps into the expertise across Cell Press journals and selected partners to inform our editorial decisions and help publish your science in a timely and seamless way.
