摘要
目的:探讨多氯联苯(PCB)对大鼠睾丸组织表型及表达c-fos、c-Myc和β-catenin的影响。方法:Wistar大鼠45只随机分为4组,对照组饲喂正常饲料,低、中、高剂量组分别饲喂不同PCB含量的颗粒饲料(分别含PCB0.1、1、10mg/kg),90d后建立慢性PCB毒性动物模型。利用组织病理学技术分析PCB对大鼠睾丸组织表型的影响;采用免疫组化方法检测睾丸组织c-fos、c-Myc和β-catenin的表达。结果:PCB染毒组睾丸组织病理学表现为睾丸水肿,间质表型受损,生精小管形态发生改变,间质细胞、初级精母细胞、次级精母细胞消失,精子数量少见。1mg/kg和10mg/kg组c-fos和c-Myc的表达明显强于对照组和0.1mg/kg组(P<0.01);0.1mg/kg组β-catenin蛋白表达下调,与其它各组相比差异显著(P<0.01);1mg/kg组β-catenin的表达高于对照组和10mg/kg组(P<0.05)。结论:PCB能引起大鼠睾丸组织表型的改变,c-fos、c-Myc和β-catenin的异常表达与PCB致睾丸损伤有密切关系。
Objective:To study the effects of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) on the phenotype of the testis tissue and the expressions c-fos,c-Myc and β-catenin in the rat testis.Methods: Forty-five Wistar male rats were divided into a control and three experimental groups,the former fed normally,and the latter with PCB at 0.1,1 and 10 mg/kg respectively for 90 days.Then the effects of PCB on the phenotype of the testis tissue and the expressions of c-fos,c-Myc and β-catenin were determined by histopathology and immunohistochemistry.Results: Histopathological examinations revealed testis edema,damage of the mesenchymal phenotype,morphological changes of the contorted seminiferous tubules,absence of stromal cells,spermiocytes and prespermatids,and decreased number of sperm.The expressions of c-fos and c-Myc were significantly higher in the 1 and 10 mg/kg PCB groups than in the control and 0.1 mg/kg PCB groups (P 0.01).The expression of β-catenin was downregulated in the 0.1 mg/kg PCB group,with significant differences from the other groups (P 0.01),but it was higher in the 1 mg/kg PCB than in the control and 10 mg/kg PCB groups (P 0.01).Conclusion: PCB causes changes in the phenotype of the testis tissue,and the abnormal expressions of c-fos,c-Myc and β-catenin are closely related to the PCB-induced testis injury.
