Histopathological changes and pathological basis of the cryptorchidtestis in rats by maternal exposure to flutamide
Flu组SD大鼠睾丸组织内Stra8 m RNA的表达(0.765±0.015)较正常对照组(1.00±0.01)低
P=0.01。结论:Flu诱导的SD大鼠隐睾模型中
睾丸呈明显病理形态学改变
支持细胞间紧密连接结构破坏
Stra8及SCP3表达明显下调
生精细胞凋亡增多
精子数量及质量下降
这可能是导致生精细胞发育障碍的重要原因。
Abstract
Objective:To explore Flutamide(Flu)induced cryptorchidism in pregnant rats and its histopathological changes and pathological basis;to provide references for treating cryptorchidism induced non obstructive infertility. Methods:Totally 20 SD pregnant rats were randomly divided into Flu cryptorchidism group(n=10)and normal control group(n=10). Flu was given 25 mg/(kg·d)by subcutaneous injection on pregnancy 12 to 21 days in Flu cryptorchidism group;nothing was given normal control group. When male SD rats were 60 days after birth
testis tissue were collected
and testicular histological morphology was observed by HE staining
Tight junction between Sertoli cells was detected by TEM;TUNEL staining was used to detect the apoptosis of spermatogenic cells;cauda epididymal was achieved for sperm count and morphology analysis;protein expressions of Stra8 and SCP3 were detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blot;m RNA expression of Stra8 was examined through Q-PCR. Results:Thirty normal testis and 22 undescended testis were collected. HE images showed the cryptorchid testis lumen decreased and narrowed significantly;spermatogenic cell retardated and arranged in disorder;no sperm formed in central lumen. The tight junctions of Sertoligerm cells were abnormal in cryptorchid testis. TUNEL apoptosis and sperm count with morphology observation results showed that there are a large number of spermatogenic cells apoptosis;the number of sperm of cryptorchidism group was decreased compared with that in normal group(P=0.000)[(1.99±0.13)×108 cell/m L vs.(5.53±0.17)×108 cell/m L]. The protein expressions of Stra8 and SCP3 were significantly lower in the cryptorchid testicular tissue than in the normal control group. Q-PCR showed that m RNA expression of Stra8 was significantly lower in cryptorchidism group than in the normal group[(0.765±0.015)vs.(1.00±0.01)]
P=0.010. Conclusion:In SD rat cryptorchidism model induced by Flu
there is an obvious pathological change in the testis
the tight junctions between Sertoli cells are destroyed
expression of Stra8 and SCP3 is significantly decreased
which may be very important during the process of spermatogenic impairment in cryptorchidism.
