虽然妇科健康研究的发展继续推进,但相对较少的小组专门关注伤口愈合,器械开发和/或药物毒性等领域的阴道组织研究。目前,还没有标准化的动物或组织模型来模拟人类阴道的全部复杂性。某些实际因素,如适当的大小和解剖结构,成本和组织环境因物种而异,而且无法模仿人类阴道的所有方面。因此,研究人员的任务是损害阴道环境的特定特性,因为它与人类生理学有关,以适应他们特定的科学问题。我们的审查旨在促进适当的模型,适当地解决一个特定的研究,通过讨论相关的传统动物和组织模型的阴道特征。在这篇综述中,我们首先涵盖了阴道研究中常见的实验室动物-小鼠,大鼠,兔,迷你猪和绵羊-以及人类,关于发情周期和相关激素,基本生殖解剖学,阴道层的组成,发育上皮起源和微生物区系。根据这些相关的比较指标,我们讨论了选择合适的动物阴道模型的潜在选择标准。最后,我们提到了增加仿生体外应用的令人兴奋的前景,为研究人员建模,解释和预测人类阴道健康提供了一个框架。
While developments in gynecologic health research continue advancing, relatively few groups specifically focus on vaginal tissue research for areas like wound healing, device development, and/or drug toxicity. Currently, there is no standardized animal or tissue model that mimics the full complexity of the human vagina. Certain practical factors such as appropriate size and anatomy, costs, and tissue environment vary across species and moreover fail to emulate all aspects of the human vagina. Thus, investigators are tasked with compromising specific properties of the vaginal environment as it relates to human physiology to suit their particular scientific question. Our review aims to facilitate the appropriate selection of a model aptly addressing a particular study by discussing pertinent vaginal characteristics of conventional animal and tissue models. In this review, we first cover common laboratory animals studied in vaginal research – mouse, rat, rabbit, mini-pig, and sheep – as well as human, with respect to the estrus cycle and related hormones, basic reproductive anatomy, the composition of vaginal layers, developmental epithelial origin, and microflora. In light of these relevant comparative metrics, we discuss potential selection criteria for choosing an appropriate animal vaginal model. Finally, we allude to the exciting prospects of increasing biomimicry for in vitro applications to provide a framework for investigators to model, interpret, and predict human vaginal health.
