眼睛由屈光系统和视觉神经系统两大部分构成,是人体最重要的感觉器官之一。眼部各组织的发育或功能异常都可能造成不同程度的视力损害。目前主要通过动物实验或体外细胞培养的方法探究眼病的病理生理机制和治疗手段,但上述两种方法都存在一定的局限性。体外细胞培养不能完全反映器官的形态、结构和生化特征,而动物模型的物种和遗传背景具有异质性。近年来,随着原代组织、胚胎干细胞、诱导多能干细胞衍生的体外三维结构类器官和器官微流控芯片技术的不断发展,构建出了与在体器官的结构、功能更为相似的器官克隆模型,能够提供更敏感、定量、规模化的表型分析,更好地应用于眼的发育、生理结构、疾病机制、个性化医学诊断和治疗方法等方面的研究。目前,眼科的微流控器官芯片与类器官技术在角膜、晶状体、泪腺、视网膜结构发育和疾病模型均展现出巨大的应用潜力。
The eye is composed of refractive system and visual nervous system. It is one of the most important sensory organs of the human body. The abnormal development or function of eye tissues may cause various degrees of visual impairment. At present, the pathophysiological mechanism and treatment of eye diseases are mainly explored through animal experiments and in-vitro cell culture. However, they are of certain limitations. The in-vitro cell culture cannot fully reflect the morphological, structural and biochemical characteristics of organs, whereas the animal models are heterogeneous of species and genetic background. In recent years, with the continuous development of in-vitro three-dimensional structure organoids and organ microfluidic organ-on-a-chip technology derived from primary tissues, embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells, organ cloning models more similar to in vivo organs in terms of the structure and function have been constructed. These models can provide more sensitive, quantitative and large-scale phenotypic analysis, and can be better applied to the research of eye development, physiological structure, disease mechanism, personalized medical diagnosis and treatment. At present, microfluidic organ-on-a-chip and organoids technologies have shown great application potential in the structural development and disease models’ construction of cornea, lens, lacrimal gland and retina.
