This study aims to explore the mechanism of PM2.5 damage to the reproductive system of male mice.
Mouse testis Sertoli TM4 cells were divided into four groups: a control group (no additional ingredients except for medium), PM2.5 group (medium containing 100 μg/mL PM2.5), PM2.5 + NAM group (medium containing 100 μg/mL PM2.5 and 5 mM NAM), and NAM group (medium containing 5 mM nicotinamide) and cultured for 24 or 48 h. The apoptosis rate of TM4 cells was measured using flow cytometry, the intracellular levels of NAD and NADH were detected using an NAD/NADH assay kit, and the protein expression levels of SIRT1 and PARP1 were determined by western blotting.
Mouse testis Sertoli TM4 cells exposed to PM2.5 demonstrated an increase in the apoptosis rate and PARP1 protein expression, albeit a decrease in NAD, NADH, and SIRT1 protein levels ( = 0.05). These changes were reversed in the group treated with a combination of PM2.5 and nicotinamide ( = 0.05).
PM2.5 can cause Sertoli TM4 cell damage in mouse testes by decreasing intracellular NAD levels.
本研究旨在探讨 PM2.5 对雄性小鼠生殖系统损伤的作用机制。
将小鼠睾丸 Sertoli TM4 细胞分为四组:对照组(除培养基外无其他添加物)、PM2.5 组(含 100μg/mL PM2.5 的培养基)、PM2.5+NAM 组(含 100μg/mL PM2.5 和 5mM NAM 的培养基)和 NAM 组(含 5mM 烟酰胺的培养基),培养 24 或 48 小时。采用流式细胞术检测 TM4 细胞的凋亡率,用 NAD/NADH 检测试剂盒检测细胞内 NAD 和 NADH 水平,用 Western blot 检测 SIRT1 和 PARP1 蛋白的表达水平。
暴露于 PM2.5 的小鼠睾丸 Sertoli TM4 细胞凋亡率和 PARP1 蛋白表达增加,而 NAD、NADH 和 SIRT1 蛋白水平降低(=0.05)。用 PM2.5 和烟酰胺联合处理的组这些变化得到逆转(=0.05)。
PM2.5 可通过降低细胞内 NAD 水平导致小鼠睾丸 Sertoli TM4 细胞损伤。
