内质网应激在氟暴露致小鼠睾丸损伤中的作用

探讨了内质网应激在亚慢性氟暴露致小鼠睾丸损伤中的作用及分子机制.选用健康初断乳ICR雄性小鼠30只,随机分为对照组（C）、低氟组（LF）和高氟组（HF）,分别饮用自来水、5、30 mg·L^-1氟化钠水溶液90 d.亚慢性氟暴露结束后,以睾丸脏器系数、睾丸组织氧化/抗氧化酶和形态结构、精子质量、睾丸细胞凋亡、葡萄糖调节蛋白78（GRP78）、CCAAT/增强子结合蛋白同源蛋白（CHOP）、半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶12（CASPASE-12）、半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶3（CASPASE-3）为观测点.结果表明,与对照组比,LF组和HF组LDH、SOD、T-AOC活性下降,MDA含量上升,HF组GSH-PX活性下降,差异有统计学意义（p<0.05或p<0.01）;LF组可见细胞层次减少、间隙变大,成熟精子数量减少,HF组细胞溶解、层次紊乱,空泡化严重,少见成熟精子;LF组和HF组小鼠的精子活力降低,HF组小鼠精子数量下降,畸形率上升,差异有统计学意义（p<0.05或p<0.01）;LF组和HF组睾丸细胞凋亡指数上升,差异有统计学意义（p<0.01）;LF组和HF组Grp78、Caspase-12、Caspase-3基因表达水平上升,差异有统计学意义（p<0.05或p<0.01）.结果提示,除氧化应激以外,Caspase-12和Caspase-3基因表达异常可能是氟暴露致小鼠睾丸细胞凋亡异常的分子机制之一.     

Pentachlorotoluene and pentabromotoluene: Results of a subacute and a subchronic toxicity study in the rat

Abstract

Pentachlorotoluene (PCT) and pentabromotoiuene (PBT) are environmental contaminants detected in the Great Lakes ecosystem. In view of the paucity of toxicity data and the potential for human exposure, a subacute (28 day) and a subchronic (91 day) study were conducted in the rat. In the subacute study, groups of 10 male and 10 female rats were fed the diet containing PCT or PBT at 0, 0.5, 5.0, 50 or 500 ppm for 28‐days. In the subchronic study, the group size was increased to 15, the dose levels were 0, 0.05, 0.5, 5.0, 50 and 500 ppm in the diet and the exposure period was 91 days. Growth rate and food consumption were not affected by exposure to either chemical in the subacute and subchronic study. Clinical observations revealed no abnormalities. Decreased hemoglobin was observed in female rats fed 5.0 ppm PCT and higher levels in the subacute (28 day) study. In the same study the hematocrit value and erythrocyte numbers of females fed 5.0 or 500 ppm PCT diets were significantly lower than the control. In both subacute and subchronic studies mild dose‐dependent histopathological changes were observed in the thyroid, liver and kidney of rats fed PCT and PBT diets. In general male rats were more susceptible than females to the treatment of PCT and PBT. Based on these data, it was concluded that the no observable adverse effect level for PCT was 50 ppm in the diet (3.5 mg/kg b.w./day) and that of PBT was 5.0 ppm (0.35 mg/kg b.w./day).

稀有鮈鲫（Gobiocyprisrarus）七天亚慢性毒性试验

研究了稀有鲫（Ｇｏｂｉｏｃｙｐｒｉｓｒａｒｕｓ）作为亚慢性毒性试验材料的可能性，测定了铬、铜、锌、镉和五氯酚对稀有鲫的７ｄ亚慢性毒性，它们对稀有鲫的无可观测效应浓度（ＮＯＥＣ）分别是２５００、１０、２００、２０和８０μｇ／Ｌ。最低可观察效应浓度（ＬＯＥＣ）则分别为５０００、２０、４００、４０和１６０μｇ／Ｌ。试验结果表明，稀有鲫是一种较好的亚慢性毒性试验材料。     

鱼肉结合态MCLR的亚慢性毒性研究

为了揭示含有微囊藻毒素水产品的食用安全性,以雄性BALB/C小鼠为模式生物,通过为期13周的灌胃染毒实验,研究了鱼肉结合态MCLR对小鼠的亚慢性毒性作用,并与水溶态MCLR的毒性进行了对比.结果表明,68.75 μg/kg (以单位体重计)剂量水溶态MCLR可引起小鼠肝脏显著系数增加（P＜0.05）,ALT、AST活性增强（P＜0.01）,引起肝细胞出现有空泡状病变;而肾脏酶学指标BUN、Cr及肾脏组织病理学观察均未发现明显异常;与之相比,同剂量鱼肉结合态MCLR对小鼠各项指标的影响并不明显,仅在实验第1周出现小鼠肝脏肿大（P＜0.05）、ALT活性增强(P＜0.01).由此推断,鱼肉结合态MCLR的毒性低于水溶态MCLR.     

离子液体[C14mim]Br对大鼠亚慢性毒性的初步研究

８种拟除虫菊酯对稀有鲫的急性毒性和其中２种拟除虫菊酯的亚慢性毒性研究结果表明：溴氰菊酯、高效氯氰菊酯、氯氰菊酯、甲氰菊酯、氰戊菊酯、二氯炔戊菊酯、胺菊酯、甲醚菊酯对稀有鲫均属剧毒,它们的ρ（９６ｈＬＣ５０）／μｇ·Ｌ－１分别为３．１６,３．２４,６．３１,７．２１,７．３５,３２．４５,９１．７５和８８２．６;甲氰菊酯、二氯炔戊菊酯对稀有鲫７ｄ亚慢性毒性的最低有影响浓度ρ（ＬＯＥＣ）和最高无影响浓度ρ（ＮＯＥＣ）分别为０．８８～０．４４μｇ／Ｌ,４．０～２．０μｇ／Ｌ,以ρ（９６ｈＬＣ５０）／μｇ·Ｌ－１为基准,２种拟除虫菊酯的安全系数均为０．０６～０．１２５．     

Alterations of organ histopathology and metallolhionein mRNA expression in silver barb, Puntius gonionotus during subchronic cadmium exposure

Common silver barb,Puntius gonionotus,exposed to the nominal concentration of 0.06 mg/L Cd for 60 d,were assessed for histopathological alterations(gills,liver and kidney),metal accumulation,and metallothionein(MT)mRNA expression.Fish exhibited pathological symptoms such as hypertrophy and hyperplasia of primary and secondary gill lamellae,vacuolization in hepatocytes,and prominent tubular and glomerular damage in the kidney.In addition,kidney accumulated the highest content of cadmium,more than gills and liver.Expression of MT mRNA was increased in both liver and kidney of treated fish.Hepatic MT levels remained high after fish were removed to Cd-free water.In contrast,MT expression in kidney was peaked after 28 d of treatment and drastically dropped when fish were removed to Cd-free water.The high concentrations of Cd in hepatic tissues indicated an accumulation site or permanent damage on this tissue.     

大气细颗粒物亚慢性染毒对大鼠肺内质网应激相关因子表达的影响

采集冬、夏季太原市大气细颗粒物(PM2.5),并制备PM2.5生理盐水混悬液.将35只雄性SD大鼠随机分为7组:对照组、3个不同剂量夏季PM2.5染毒组(0.2、0.6、1.5 mg·kg~(-1)体重)及3个不同剂量冬季PM2.5染毒组(0.3、1.5、2.7 mg·kg~(-1)体重),每组5只,气道滴注法染毒,每隔2 d染毒1次,共60 d.采用荧光实时定量PCR、Western blot、ELISA方法检测大鼠肺内质网应激指标——葡萄糖调节蛋白78(GRP78)、活化转录因子6(ATF6)、C/EBP同源蛋白(CHOP)、半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶12(Caspase12)及血红素氧合酶-1(HO-1)的mRNA和蛋白表达变化.结果表明,与对照组相比,冬季中、高剂量PM2.5染毒组大鼠肺组织GRP78、ATF6、CHOP、Caspase12、HO-1 mRNA和蛋白表达显著增加,夏季高剂量PM2.5染毒组大鼠肺组织这5个基因mRNA和蛋白表达显著增加.冬季和夏季PM2.5组大鼠肺上述5个基因表达有剂量-效应关系.结果表明,太原市PM2.5亚慢性染毒可诱导大鼠肺内质网应激相关基因GRP78/ATF6/CHOP/HO-1表达,说明肺内质网应激反应加强;而CHOP和Caspase-12上调,提示与细胞凋亡关联的内质网相关性死亡途径被激活.冬季和夏季PM2.5引起内质网应激相关因子表达上调的效应没有显著差别.
