Abstract: BACKGROUND: Human amniotic epithelial cells have a wide range of biological functions and can be used in the treatment of many diseases, such as conjunctival injury, burn, pulmonary fibrosis and heart disease. Human amniotic epithelial cells have been tested in the field of obstetrics and gynecology and achieved remarkable results, which is expected to become a new disease treatment, and is worthy of in-depth research and exploration.
OBJECTIVE: To review the research progress, application status and development prospect of human amniotic epithelial cells on some diseases in the field of gynecology and obstetrics.
METHODS: Key words “human amniotic epithelial cells”, “tumor” and “obstetrics and gynecology” were used to search PubMed and Web of Science databases, and Wanfang and CNKI Chinese databases were searched with key words “human amniotic epithelial cells”, “gynecological tumor” and “obstetrics and gynecology”. A total of 40 articles were included according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Human amniotic epithelial cells reverse abnormal vascular structure and function and induce apoptosis of endometrial carcinoma. (2) Human amniotic epithelial cells can inhibit apoptosis of granulosa cells induced by chemotherapy and restore fertility. (3) Human amniotic epithelial cells can treat uterine adhesion and improve fertility. (4) Human amniotic epithelial cells can treat recurrent spontaneous abortion. It is believed that with the further research, the function of human amniotic epithelial cells will be more widely developed and utilized.

Key words: human amniotic epithelial cells, apoptosis, ovarian function, uterine adhesion, recurrent abortion, gynecological neoplasms, review
