目的:研究壬基酚和镉离子在体外对小鼠精子顶体反应(AR)的影响。方法:从小鼠的输精管获得精子,体外培养使精子获能,加30μmol/L的A23187诱导精子顶体反应,然后使用不同浓度的壬基酚(10、20、30、60、100μmol/L),或者镉离子(500、2500、5000μmol/L)处理,对照组使用相应的载体溶剂处理。用FITC—PSA荧光染色法分析精子顶体反应。结果:当壬基酚浓度〈30μmol/L时,小鼠精子顶体反应率与对照组比较没有显著差异(P〉0.05),而当壬基酚浓度〉60μmol/L时能够显著地抑制小鼠精子顶体反应发生率(P〈0.01),并且观察到精子存活率随着壬基酚浓度增加而降低。与壬基酚作用不同,用镉离子对小鼠精子进行处理,在所选浓度内(500~5000μmol/L)均对精子顶体反应无显著影响(P〉0.05),且精子存活率与镉离子浓度变化无关。结论:壬基酚与镉离子对小鼠精子发生的作用是通过不同的途径来实现的,前者可以直接抑制顶体反应,而后者则与精子顶体反应无关。
Objective: To study the effects of nonylphenol and cadmium on acrosome reaction in vitro in mouse spermatozoa. Methods: Sperm were collected from the vas deferens of mice, capacitated in vitro and stimulated with A23187 at 30μmol/L to induce acrosome reaction. Then the sperm suspension was treated with nonylphenol at 10, 20, 30, 60 and 100μmol/L or cadmium at 500, 2500 and 5 000 μmol/L, and the control group treated with the carrier solvent. Aerosome reaction of the sperm was analyzed by FITC- PSA staining. Results : Compared with the control group, nonylphenol significantly inhibited acrosome reaction at the concentration of 〉 60 μmol/L (P 〈 0. 01 ), but not at 〈 30μmol/L (P 〉 0. 05 ), and the sperm survival rate was reduced with increased concentration of nonylphenol. However, cadmium exhibited no significant influence on either acrosome reaction (P 〉 0.05 ) or sperm survival rate at 500 - 5 000 μmol/L. Conclusion : Nonylphenol and cadmium affect the spermatogenesis of mice in different ways ; the former directly inhibits sperm acrosome reaction, while the latter has no direct effect on it.
