Abstract

While numerous studies have shown that fluoride or arsenic exposure may damage the reproductive system, there are few reports of co-exposure to fluoride and arsenic. In addition, the literature on autophagy and intestinal flora composition in reproductive toxicity studies of co-exposure to fluoride and arsenic is insufficient. In this study, we developed a rat model of fluoride and arsenic exposure via drinking water from pre-pregnancy to 90 days postnatal. Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sterile water control group, fluoride group (100 mg/L NaF), arsenic group (50 mg/L NaAsO) and combined exposure group (100 mg/L NaF+50 mg/L NaAsO). Our results showed that fluoride and arsenic exposure caused a reduction in testicular weight and significant pathological damage to tissue. We found that the levels of follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, and testosterone were reduced to varying degrees. Meanwhile experiments showed that fluoride and arsenic exposure can modulate autophagic flux, causing increased levels of Beclin1 and LC3 expression and decreased p62 expression. Analogously, by performing 16S sequencing of rat feces, we found 24 enterobacterial genera that differed significantly among the groups. Furthermore, the flora associated with testicular injury were identified by correlation analysis of hormonal indices and autophagy alterations with intestinal flora composition at the genus level, respectively. In summary, our study shows that fluoride and arsenic co-exposure alters autophagic flux in the testis, causes testicular injury, and reveals an association between altered intestinal flora composition and testicular injury.

摘要

虽然许多研究表明氟化物或砷暴露可能会损害生殖系统,但关于氟化物和砷共同暴露的报道很少。此外,关于氟化物和砷共同暴露的生殖毒性研究中自噬和肠道菌群组成的文献也不足。在这项研究中,我们通过给大鼠饮用含氟(100mg/L NaF)和砷(50mg/L NaAsO)的水,从受孕前至产后 90 天建立了一个氟和砷暴露的大鼠模型。将 Sprague-Dawley 大鼠随机分为无菌水对照组、氟化物组(100mg/L NaF)、砷化物组(50mg/L NaAsO)和联合暴露组(100mg/L NaF+50mg/L NaAsO)。我们的结果表明,氟化物和砷化物暴露导致睾丸重量减轻和组织明显的病理损伤。我们发现,卵泡刺激素、黄体生成素和睾酮的水平都有不同程度的降低。同时,实验表明氟化物和砷化物暴露可以调节自噬流,导致 Beclin1 和 LC3 的表达增加,p62 的表达减少。类似地,通过对大鼠粪便进行 16S 测序,我们发现了 24 种肠杆菌属在各组间存在显著差异。此外,通过对激素指标和自噬变化与肠道菌群组成在属水平上的相关性分析,鉴定了与睾丸损伤相关的菌群。总之,我们的研究表明,氟和砷的共同暴露改变了睾丸中的自噬流,导致睾丸损伤,并揭示了肠道菌群组成与睾丸损伤之间的关联。
