近年来,新生儿尿道下裂的发病率呈逐年上升的趋势,越来越受到专家和学者的重视。邻苯二甲酸酯类化合物(PAEs)被认为是新生儿尿道下裂的作用因素之一,其在环境中的广泛存在对人类的健康产生严重影响,尤其在雄性生殖系统方面。多项研究表明,Leydig细胞是PAEs的靶细胞之一,但PAEs对Leydig细胞的作用机制尚不明确。该文阐述PAEs对Leydig细胞影响的最新发现,并讨论PAEs在导致尿道下裂过程中,对Leydig细胞作用机制的最新进展,为后续的研究和探索提供新的思路。
Hypospadias gains more and more attention recently and phthalate acid esters(PAEs),which is widespread in the environment and affects human health seriously,especially the male fertility system,is considered as one of the effect factors.Leydig cell is one of the target cells of PAEs,but the mechanism is still unclear.Here is to make a review of the recent findings about PAEs effects on Leydig cell,and how Leydig cell is affected in the course of phthalate-mediated hypospadias,so as to provide new ideas for the further study and exploration.
