氧化乐果对小鼠精子DNA损伤的研究

目的 研究有机磷农药氧化乐果对雄性小鼠精子DNA的损伤作用.方法 将18～20 g清洁级昆明种雄性小鼠按体重随机分为氧化乐果低(0.5 mg/kg)、中(1 mg/kg)、高(2 mg/kg)剂量组和对照组(等体积生理盐水),每组10只.每天灌胃染毒1次,连续35 d.染毒后,称量体重,取出睾丸和附睾、称重,计算睾丸系数.采用彗星试验检测小鼠精子DNA的损伤情况,采用Nikon荧光显微镜和图像采集卡进行拍照,用MIM软件对所拍摄的图像进行分析,以评估精子细胞DNA受损伤程度.结果 随着氧化乐果染毒剂量的增加,小鼠体重、睾丸重量以及睾丸系数均呈下降趋势,但差异均无统计学意义(P＞0.05);良好精子的构成比和精子密度呈下降趋势,死亡精子的构成比和精子畸形率呈上升趋势;彗星长度、彗星重心、尾长、尾重心、Olive尾矩、尾惯量、尾长/头长、尾部DNA含量均呈上升趋势.精子畸形主要以胖头和尾折叠为主.结论 氧化乐果对小鼠精子DNA有明显的损伤作用.

Damage of DNA in Mouse Sperm Cells Induced by Omethoate

Objective To study the adverse effect of omethoate on DNA in mouse sperm cells in vivo. Single cell gel electrophoresiss (SCGE) or comet assay was used to observe the damage of DNA. Methods 40 male kunming mice were randomly divided into 4 groups and were treated with omethoate by gavage at 0 mg/kg, 0.5 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg and 2 mg/kg respectively, once a day for 35 consecutive days. Results The movement and density of sperms decreased as the dose of omethoate increased, the length of comet tails in group of 1 mg/kg and group of 2 mg/kg was much longer than that in the control, the other indexes of comet assay also showed significant DNA damage. Conclusion Omethoate exposure can induce DNA damage in the sperm cells of male mice.
