摘要: 病理性近视(pathologic myopia, PM)是以眼轴过度延长和后极部特征性病理改变为特征的致盲性眼病,其发病机制涉及遗传、环境及表观遗传等多层次因素的复杂交互。近年来,多组学技术的迅猛发展使PM研究从单一分子层面迈向系统整合。基因组学通过GWAS和全外显子/全基因组测序鉴定了LILRB2、KDELR3等新易感基因,并揭示了PM与遗传性视网膜疾病的遗传重叠;表观遗传学研究强调DNA甲基化、组蛋白修饰(如H3K27me3)及非编码RNA在环境–遗传对话中的桥梁作用;转录组学(含单细胞测序)和蛋白质组学共同阐明了巩膜ECM重塑、TGF-β信号、炎症及氧化应激等核心通路;代谢组学与微生物组学则发现房水、血浆及肠道菌群来源的代谢物(如3-IAA)参与眼轴调控,并提出“肠–眼轴”新视角。多组学整合策略不仅深化了对PM分子机制的理解,还筛选出ANGPTL7、BDH1等潜在生物标志物及治疗靶点。未来,跨尺度、多维度的组学融合将推动PM的早期预警、分子分型及精准干预。
Abstract: Pathologic myopia (PM) is a sight-threatening ocular disease characterized by excessive axial elongation and characteristic posterior segment pathological changes. Its pathogenesis involves complex interactions among genetic, environmental, and epigenetic factors across multiple biological layers. In recent years, the rapid advancement of multi-omics technologies has propelled PM research from a single-molecule level toward systemic integration. Genomics, through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and whole-exome/whole-genome sequencing, has identified novel susceptibility genes such as LILRB2 and KDELR3, and has revealed genetic overlaps between PM and inherited retinal dystrophies. Epigenetics has underscored the bridging role of DNA methylation, histone modifications (e.g., H3K27me3), and non-coding RNAs in environment–genome crosstalk. Transcriptomics, including single-cell sequencing, together with proteomics, has collectively elucidated core pathways involved in scleral extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, TGF-β signaling, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Metabolomics and microbiome analyses have identified metabolites derived from aqueous humor, plasma, and gut microbiota (e.g., 3-indoleacetic acid, 3-IAA) that participate in axial length regulation, thereby introducing the novel “gut–eye axis” perspective. Integrative multi-omics strategies have not only deepened our mechanistic understanding of PM but also enabled the screening of potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets, including ANGPTL7 and BDH1. Looking forward, cross-scale, multi-dimensional omics integration will facilitate early warning, molecular subtyping, and precision intervention for PM.
