The human female reproductive lifespan significantly diminishes with age, leading to decreased fertility, reduced fertility quality and endocrine function disorders. While many aspects of aging in general have been extensively documented, the precise mechanisms governing programmed aging in the female reproductive system remain elusive. Recent advancements in omics technologies and computational capabilities have facilitated the emergence of multiomics deep phenotyping. Through the application and refinement of various high-throughput omics methods, a substantial volume of omics data has been generated, deepening our comprehension of the pathogenesis and molecular underpinnings of reproductive aging. This review highlights current and emerging multiomics approaches for investigating female reproductive aging, encompassing genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and microbiomics. We elucidate their influence on fundamental cell biology and translational research in the context of reproductive aging, address the limitations and current challenges associated with multiomics studies, and offer a glimpse into future prospects.
女性的生殖寿命会随着年龄的增长而显著缩短,导致生育能力下降、生育质量降低和内分泌功能紊乱。虽然衰老的许多方面已经被广泛记录,但控制女性生殖系统程序性衰老的确切机制仍难以捉摸。近年来,组学技术和计算能力的进步促进了多组学深度表型分析的出现。通过应用和改进各种高通量组学方法,产生了大量的组学数据,加深了我们对生殖衰老发病机制和分子基础的理解。这篇综述强调了当前和新兴的多组学方法在研究女性生殖衰老中的应用,包括基因组学、表观基因组学、转录组学、蛋白质组学、代谢组学和微生物组学。我们阐述了它们对生殖衰老背景下基本细胞生物学和转化研究的影响,讨论了多组学研究相关的局限性和当前挑战,并展望了未来前景。
