Abstract

Atrazine (ATZ), a widely used herbicide with potent endocrine-disrupting properties, has been implicated in hormonal disturbances and fertility issues. Sertoli cells (SCs) play a crucial role in providing mechanical and nutritional support of spermatogenesis. Herein, we aimed to study the effects of environmentally relevant ATZ concentrations on the nutritional support of spermatogenesis provided by SCs. For that, mouse SCs (TM4) were exposed to increasing ATZ concentrations (in μg/L: 0.3, 3, 30, 300, or 3000). After 24 h, cellular proliferation and metabolic activity were assessed. Mitochondrial activity and endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS) production were evaluated using JC-1 and CM-HDCFDA probes, respectively. We also analyzed protein levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) using Western Blot and live cells glycolytic function through Seahorse XF Glycolysis Stress Test Kit. ATZ exposure decreased the activity of oxidoreductases in SCs, suggesting a decreased metabolic activity. Although ATZ is reported to induce oxidative stress, we did not observe alterations in mitochondrial membrane potential and ROS production across all tested concentrations. When we evaluated the glycolytic function of SCs, we observed that ATZ significantly impaired glycolysis and the glycolytic capacity at all tested concentrations. These results were supported by the decreased expression of LDH in SCs. Overall, our findings suggest that ATZ impairs the glycolytic function of SCs through LDH downregulation. Since lactate is the preferential energetic substrate for germ cells, exposure to ATZ may detrimentally impact the nutritional support crucial for spermatogenesis, hinting for a relationship between ATZ exposure and male infertility.

摘要

莠去津(ATZ)是一种广泛使用的除草剂,具有很强的内分泌干扰特性,与激素紊乱和生育问题有关。支持细胞(SCs)在为精子发生提供机械和营养支持方面起着至关重要的作用。在此,我们旨在研究环境相关莠去津浓度对SCs 提供的精子发生营养支持的影响。为此,我们将小鼠SCs(TM4)暴露于递增的莠去津浓度(μg/L:0.3、3、30、300 或 3000)中 24 小时。24 小时后,评估细胞增殖和代谢活性。使用 JC-1 和 CM-HDCFDA 探针分别评估线粒体活性和内源性活性氧(ROS)产生。我们还使用 Western Blot 分析了乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)的蛋白水平,并通过 Seahorse XF 糖酵解应激测试试剂盒分析了活细胞的糖酵解功能。莠去津暴露降低了SCs 中的氧化还原酶活性,表明代谢活性降低。尽管莠去津被报道会诱导氧化应激,但我们在所有测试浓度下均未观察到线粒体膜电位和 ROS 产生的变化。当我们评估SCs 的糖酵解功能时,我们观察到莠去津在所有测试浓度下均显著损害糖酵解和糖酵解能力。SCs 中 LDH 表达降低支持了这些结果。总的来说,我们的研究结果表明,莠去津通过下调 LDH 来损害SCs 的糖酵解功能。由于乳酸是生殖细胞的首选能量底物,因此接触莠去津可能会对精子发生所需的营养支持产生不利影响,暗示莠去津暴露与男性不育之间存在关系。
