围生期毒死蜱暴露致子代8周雄鼠睾丸组织的氧化损伤

毒死蜱是目前全世界使用和销售量最大的有机磷杀虫剂之一。为探讨围生期毒死蜱暴露致8周雄性子鼠睾丸组织的氧化损伤,选择健康Wistar妊娠母鼠于妊娠期(gestation days,GD)第6天至子鼠出生后(postnatal days,PND)21天通过灌胃染毒0、0.75、1.35和2.70 mg·kg~(-1)剂量的毒死蜱,待雄性子鼠8周龄取左侧睾丸实施组织病理学检查,右侧睾丸用以检测丙二醛(maleic dialdehyde,MDA)的含量和谷胱甘肽S转移酶(glutathione S transferases,GST)、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(glutathione peroxidase,GSH-Px)、总超氧化物歧化酶(total superoxide dismutase,T-SOD)的活力。结果表明,与对照组比较,随着染毒剂量的增加子鼠体重和睾丸、附睾脏器系数有下降的趋势(P0.05);而MDA呈升高趋势(P0.05)。各组T-SOD和1.35、2.70 mg·kg~(-1)剂量组GSH-Px活力的下降及2.70 mg·kg~(-1)剂量组GST活力的升高均有统计学意义(P0.05)。睾丸组织病理学检查结果可见2.70mg·kg~(-1)剂量组睾丸组织有明显的损伤,管腔中精液量减少,生精细胞脱落增多。上述研究结果提示母鼠于围生期暴露于毒死蜱,可通过氧化损伤诱导子代雄性大鼠睾丸的毒性作用。

Perinatal Exposure to Chlorpyrifos Induced Testicular Oxidative Damage in 8 Week Offspring Male Rat

Chlorpyrifos is one of the largest used and saled organophosphorus pesticides throughout the world. To explore the testicular oxidative damage of 8 week offspring male rat induced by perinatal exposure to chlorpyrifos, the healthy pregnant Wistar female rats were exposed to chlorpyrifos of 0, 0.75, 1.35 and 2.70 mg?kg-1 by gavage during GD 6—PND21 d. Until the offspring male rat reached the age of 8 week, histopathological changes of left testis were observed. We also detected the level of MDA and the activity of GST, GSH-Px, and T-SOD in right tes-tis. The results showed that although no statistical significance were observed in body weight, the organ coefficient of testis and epididymis compared with control group, both of them showed a downward trend and of MDA showed an upward trend when the dose increased (P>0.05). The decrease in the activity of T-SOD of all dose groups, the increase of the activity of GSH-Px of 1.35 mg?kg-1 and 2.70 mg?kg-1 dose groups and the increase in activity of GST of 2.70 mg?kg-1 dose group were statistically significant (P<0.05). The histopathological examina-tion indicated that the testis of 2.70 mg?kg-1 dose group had significant damage. It is found that the semen volume was reduced and exfoliated spermatogenic cell was increased. Chlorpyrifos impaired the balance of antioxidant sys-tem, thus induced lipid peroxidation damage to the testis of 8 week rat by maternal exposure during GD 6—PND21 d. It is proposed that chlorpyrifos had potential and long-term toxic effect to male reproductive system by perinatal exposure.
