To investigate the regulation of T3 on the maldeveloped gonocytes (Go) and the expression of NCAM in Flutamide-induced cryptorchidism SD rat.
Postnatal day (PD) 1 and PD20 cryptorchidism SD rat induced by Flu were treated with 15 microg/(kg x d) T3 by subcutaneous injections. Incidence of the cryptorchidism, histology were evaluated. And the expression of NCAM was detected by immunohistochemisty and RT-PCR.
The incidence of cryptorchidism in the group of Flu-induced offsprings treated by 15 microg/(kg x d) T3 from PD1 was 25% (8/32), which was lower than that of Flu group 40.9% (9/22). No Go and NCAM expression were observed in the seminiferous tubules. NCAM mRNA expression in Flu-induced PD13, PD20 testes was up-regulated when compared with control (P < 0.01, P < 0.05), while after treated with 15 microg/ (kg x d) T3 the NCAM expression was significantly down-regulated compared to that of non T3 treated group (P < 0.01), and was not significantly different from that of control (P > 0.05).
The incidence of Flu-induced cryptorchidism can be decreased by T3 treatment after birth. T3 may contribute to the down-regulation of the NCAM expression, and reduction or elimination of the remainded gonocytes in crytorcidism seminiferous tubules.
探讨T3对氟他胺诱导的隐睾SD大鼠中发育不良的生殖母细胞(Go)的调控作用以及神经细胞黏附分子(NCAM)的表达。
对出生后第1天(PD1)和第20天(PD20)由氟他胺诱导的隐睾SD大鼠,通过皮下注射给予15μg/(kg·d)的T3进行治疗。评估隐睾的发生率及组织学情况。通过免疫组织化学和逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)检测NCAM的表达。
从PD1开始用15μg/(kg·d)T3治疗的氟他胺诱导后代组中隐睾的发生率为25%(8/32),低于氟他胺组的40.9%(9/22)。在生精小管中未观察到Go和NCAM的表达。与对照组相比,氟他胺诱导的PD13、PD20睾丸中NCAM mRNA表达上调(P<0.01,P<0.05),而用15μg/(kg·d)T3治疗后,与未用T3治疗组相比,NCAM表达显著下调(P<0.01),且与对照组无显著差异(P>0.05)。
出生后用T3治疗可降低氟他胺诱导的隐睾发生率。T3可能有助于下调NCAM的表达,并减少或消除隐睾生精小管中残留的生殖母细胞。
