Abstract

Cadmium(Cd) is a serious environmental and occupational contaminant that represents a serious health hazard to humans and other animals. Reproductive health problems have been reported in men exposed to Cd. Testicular damage is one of the deleterious effects due to Cd exposure. Cd-induced testicular toxicity is mediated through oxidative stress, inflammation, testosterone inhibition and apoptosis. Thus, the present study was performed to assess the possible protective role of infliximab (IFX), anti-TNFα agent, against Cd-induced testicular damage and spermiotoxicity in rats. The rats were randomly allotted into six experimental groups: control, Cd sulphate treated, Cd sulphate treated with infliximab (5 mg/kg), Cd sulphate with infliximab (7 mg/kg), infliximab alone (5 mg/kg), and infliximab alone (7 mg/kg). The control group received saline. To induce testicular damage, Cd sulphate (1.5 mg/100 gm body weight/day) was dissolved in normal saline and orally administrated for 3 consecutive weeks. The rats in infliximab-treated groups were given a weekly dose of 5 mg/kg/week or 7 mg/kg/week of infliximab intraperitoneally. In the current study Cd exposure reduced sperm count, markers of testicular function, sperm motility as well as gene expression of testicular 3β-HSD and 17β-HSD and serum testosterone level. Additionally, it increased testicular oxidative stress, inflammatory and apoptotic markers. The histopathologic studies supported the biochemical findings. Treatment with infliximab significantly attenuated Cd-induced injury verified by the restoration of testicular architecture, enhancement of steroidogenesis, preservation of spermatogenesis, modulation of the inflammatory reaction along with suppression of oxidative stress and apoptosis. It was concluded that infliximab, through its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects, represents a potential therapeutic option to protect the testicular tissue from the detrimental effects of Cd.

摘要

镉 (Cd) 是一种严重的环境和职业污染物,对人类和其他动物的健康构成严重威胁。接触镉的男性报告了生殖健康问题。睾丸损伤是由于接触镉而产生的有害影响之一。镉诱导的睾丸毒性是通过氧化应激、炎症、睾酮抑制和细胞凋亡介导的。因此,本研究旨在评估英夫利昔单抗(IFX),一种抗 TNF-α 药物,对大鼠镉诱导的睾丸损伤和精子毒性的可能保护作用。大鼠被随机分为六组实验:对照组、硫酸镉处理组、硫酸镉处理加英夫利昔单抗(5mg/kg)组、硫酸镉处理加英夫利昔单抗(7mg/kg)组、英夫利昔单抗单独(5mg/kg)组和英夫利昔单抗单独(7mg/kg)组。对照组给予生理盐水。为了诱导睾丸损伤,将硫酸镉(1.5mg/100gm 体重/天)溶解在生理盐水中并连续口服 3 周。英夫利昔单抗治疗组每周给予英夫利昔单抗 5mg/kg/周或 7mg/kg/周腹腔注射。在本研究中,镉暴露降低了精子计数、睾丸功能标志物、精子活力以及睾丸 3β-HSD 和 17β-HSD 的基因表达和血清睾酮水平。此外,它增加了睾丸氧化应激、炎症和凋亡标志物。组织病理学研究支持了生化发现。英夫利昔单抗治疗显著减轻了镉诱导的损伤,通过恢复睾丸结构、增强类固醇生成、保存精子发生、调节炎症反应以及抑制氧化应激和凋亡来验证。结论是,英夫利昔单抗通过其抗氧化、抗炎和抗凋亡作用,为保护睾丸组织免受镉的有害影响提供了一种潜在的治疗选择。
