环状RNA与NLRP3在生殖生物学中的交互作用:对直接证据与可检验假说的批判性评估
Circular RNA-NLRP3 Crosstalk in Reproductive Biology: A Critical Appraisal of Direct Evidence and Testable Hypotheses
摘要
这是一篇发表于Reprod Sci的综述,系统梳理了环状RNA(circRNA)与NLRP3炎症小体在生殖生物学中的关系。作者将证据分为三类:存在直接功能证据的、仅有关联或生物信息学预测的,以及从非生殖系统外推的。直接证据仅有4例,涉及子痫前期滋养细胞、胎儿生长受限、颗粒细胞焦亡及妊娠期糖尿病模型;在精子、卵母细胞、受精卵、卵裂期胚胎、囊胚及男性生殖系中均未发现直接功能研究。作者强调,现有的共表达、宿主基因富集与ceRNA网络预测只能用于生成假设;精浆与母血circRNA虽具标志物潜力,但缺乏外部验证,相关干预手段仍处于临床前阶段。
原文摘要
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are abundant and developmentally regulated in gonads, gametes, and preimplantation embryos, whereas NLRP3 inflammasome signaling has context-dependent roles in ovarian aging, spermatogenic stress, endometrial receptivity, implantation, and placental disease. Whether these two evidence streams constitute a functional regulatory axis in mammalian gametogenesis or early embryogenesis remains uncertain. In this regard, this review article aimed to identify direct reproductive mechanisms; reproductive functions without a demonstrated circRNA-NLRP3 bridge, association, or bioinformatic prediction; and mechanistic extrapolations from non-reproductive systems. Direct reproductive evidence was limited to four placental/trophoblast or granulosa-cell examples: circ_0001438/miR-942/NLRP3 signaling in preeclampsia-associated trophoblast models; circ_0081343-RBM8A regulation of NLRP3-linked pyroptosis in fetal-growth-restriction models; circ_0070987-associated pyroptosis in a dihydrotestosterone-treated granulosa-cell line; and hsa_circ_0003218 overexpression, which reduced NLRP3-pathway readouts in high-glucose HTR-8/SVneo trophoblasts in a gestational-diabetes study. No direct functional study was identified in mammalian sperm, oocytes, zygotes, cleavage-stage embryos, blastocysts, or the male germ line. Accordingly, circRNA detection, co-expression, host-gene enrichment, and predicted competing endogenous RNA networks should be regarded as hypothesis-generating rather than as proof of NLRP3 regulation. CircRNAs in seminal plasma and maternal blood show candidate biomarker potential, but external validation remains limited, and no combined reproductive circRNA-NLRP3 panel has been validated. Similarly, circRNA mimics, antisense approaches, circRNA-encoded peptides, extracellular vesicle (EVs) delivery, and combined circRNA/NLRP3 therapy remain preclinical or hypothetical in terms of reproduction. The most immediate priorities are cell-type- and stage-resolved perturbation studies, binding and rescue experiments, quantitative inflammasome readouts, reproductive safety assessment, and prospective biomarker validation.
推荐理由:该综述明确划分了circRNA-NLRP3轴在生殖领域的直接证据与推测性外推,为配子与胚胎研究提供了清晰的研究议程;有助于避免基于ceRNA预测的过度解读,对设计ART相关机制研究有方法学价值。
