目的:观察0.0250.200 Gy X线低剂量电离辐射后324 h小鼠生精细胞线粒体结构、睾丸组织内ATPase和生精细胞钙离子浓度的变化,阐明线粒体结构与相关生物学功能改变在调控凋亡中的作用。方法:透射电镜检测小鼠睾丸生精细胞线粒体结构的改变;蛋白酶法检测ATPase活性的改变;以Fluo-3为探针,流式细胞术检测钙离子浓度([Ca^2+]i)的变化。结果:0.075 Gy照射后12 h,小鼠精原细胞与精母细胞线粒体肿胀、空泡化、嵴断裂;精子细胞核固缩,顶体囊泡结构模糊,核膜结构不清楚,线粒体空泡化。0.0250.200 Gy照射后12 h,睾丸组织中Na^+-K^+-ATPase活性较0 Gy照射降低,其中0.0500.200 Gy较0 Gy显著降低(P〈0.05),Ca^2+-ATPase活性均较0 Gy照射显著降低(P〈0.05);生精细胞中[Ca^2+]i也具有同样的剂量-效应关系,其中0.075 Gy照射后,较0 Gy显著降低(P〈0.05)。0.075 Gy照射后324 h,睾丸组织中Na^+-K^+-ATPase活性较0 h均显著降低(P〈0.05);Ca^2+-ATPase活性在3 h稍有升高后,624 h较0 h均显著降低(P〈0.05);生精细胞中[Ca^2+]i也具有相似的时程-效应关系。结论:低剂量电离辐射能够诱导小鼠睾丸生精细胞线粒体结构的改变;同时,其诱导ATPase活性和[Ca^2+]i的变化具有剂量-效应与时程-效应规律性。
Objective To observe the ultrastructure,ATPase activity and Ca^2+ concentration(i) of mitochondria in the sperematogenic cells of mouse testes 3-24 h after low dose radiation with 0.025-0.200 Gy X-rays,and illuminate the effects of mitochondrion structure and relative biological function on apoptosis.Methods The ultrastructure changes of mitochondria in the spermatogenic cells were observed with transmission electron microscope;the ATPase activity was measured with protein enzymic method;i was measured indirectly by flow cytometry with Fluo-3 probes.Results The mitochondria swelled and vacuolizated,and their cristae were broken in the spermatogonia and spermatocytes 12 h after irradiation,and their nuclei were karyopyknosis,the acrosomal vesicle structure was ambiguity,the membrane structure was unclear,and the mitochondria in spermatids were vacuolization.The activities of Na^+-K^+-ATPase in mouse testis tissue 12 h after irradiated with 0.025-0.200 Gy decreased compared with those with0 Gy,the Na+-K+-ATPase activities of the cells irradiated with 0.05-0.200 Gy decreased significantly compared with those with 0 Gy(P〈 0.05),and Ca^2+-ATPase of the cells irradiated with 0.025-0.200 Gy decreased significantly compared with those with 0 Gy(P〈 0.05).The change of [Ca^2+]i in mouse testis spermatogenic cells had similar dose-response relationship,[Ca^2+]i after irradiated with 0.075 Gy decreased compared with those with 0 Gy(P〈 0.05).After 0.075 Gy irradiation for 3-24 h,the activities of Na^+-K^+-ATPase in mouse testis tissues decreased obviously compared with those at 0 h(P〈 0.05),the activities of Ca^2+-ATPase in mouse testis tissues increased slightly at 3 h,then decreased at 6-24 h compared with those at 0 h(P〈 0.05);i in mouse testis spermatogenic cells had similar time course-response relationship,i at 12 h decreased significantly compared with at 0 h(P〈 0.05).Conclusion Low dose radiation could induce the structure changes in the spermatogenic cell
