Research progress on the mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine in regulating autophagy to intervene in ovulatory disorders
Ovulatory disorders are mainly characterized by abnormal follicular maturation or ovulation, with complex etiologies and a lack of effective prevention and treatment methods. Autophagy dysfunction is closely related to the generation and progression of ovulatory disorders. This article systematically elucidates the mechanisms of TCM on follicular development and ovulatory disorders from the perspective of autophagy. It also reviews relevant studies on how TCM regulates autophagy to influence follicular development and improve ovulatory disorders. The findings reveal that TCM monomers/active ingredients (leonurine, total flavonoids from
Eucommia ulmoides
, alpinetin, icariin, etc.) and compound formulas (including Cangfu daotan decoction, Guishen yugong decoction, Zhuluan decoction, Yishen yangluan formula, Guishen pill, etc.) improve the follicular microenvironment, regulate sex hormone levels, and reduce follicular atresia by regulating autophagy-related genes and signaling pathways such as phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin and AMP-activated protein kinase. These actions thereby promote normal follicular development and ovulation, and delay ovarian aging. Most research in this field is based on cellular and animal experiments, often focusing on a single signaling pathway or factor. Some studies fail to fully reflect the individualized treatment characteristics of TCM that emphasize “syndrome differentiation and treatment”, highlighting the urgent need for further investigation.
