Abstract

The invention discloses application of AXL as a diagnosis and treatment target spot of intrauterine adhesion. It is found that AXL expression in endometrial scar tissue of an intrauterine adhesion patient is remarkably improved, activity is increased, expression of interstitial cells alpha-SMA and Collagen 1 is increased, then transdifferentiation of the interstitial cells to myofibroblasts is promoted, and the endometrial fibrosis process is accelerated. A human primary endometrial interstitial cell experiment and a mouse in-vivo experiment show that transdifferentiation of myofibroblasts can be prevented by applying the Bemcentinib, mouse endometrial fibrosis is improved, and the pregnancy rate and the live baby rate are increased. Therefore, AXL can play an important role in diagnosis of intrauterine adhesion and can be used for diagnosis of diseases. The inhibitor can be applied to medicines for treating intrauterine adhesion.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of medicaments and relates to the application of AXL as a target for diagnosis and treatment of intrauterine adhesions. Background technique [0002] Intrauterine adhesions (IUA), or Asherman syndrome, is caused by a variety of factors that cause endometrial basal layer damage, functional layer regeneration and repair disorders, and the formation of intramural adhesions characterized by endometrial fibrosis. IUA is the most common cause of uterine infertility, accounting for as high as 25-30% of infertility patients; The incidence of fibrosis was significantly increased. At present, the main diagnosis is to observe the degree of endometrial fibrosis and adhesion under hysteroscopy, and the preferred treatment method is hysteroscopic adhesion dissection, and place intrauterine devices or balloons or biomaterials to block the anterior and posterior walls of the uterus to prevent Re-adhesion. However, hysteroscopic di...
