目的探讨邻苯二甲酸二(2-乙基己基)酯(di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate,DEHP)诱导睾丸间质细胞铁死亡中RNA去甲基化酶脂肪量和肥胖相关蛋白(fat mass and obesity-associated protein,FTO)的作用及机制。方法40只3周龄C57BL/6雄性小鼠通过随...目的探讨邻苯二甲酸二(2-乙基己基)酯(di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate,DEHP)诱导睾丸间质细胞铁死亡中RNA去甲基化酶脂肪量和肥胖相关蛋白(fat mass and obesity-associated protein,FTO)的作用及机制。方法40只3周龄C57BL/6雄性小鼠通过随机数字表法分为对照组(玉米油)和3组DEHP染毒组(5、250、500 mg/kg体质量),连续灌胃35 d;TM3小鼠睾丸间质细胞以0、100、200、400μmol/L邻苯二甲酸单(2-乙基己基)酯(mono-2-ethylhexyl phthalate,MEHP)处理24 h,质粒转染构建Fto过表达TM3细胞。ELISA检测血清睾酮水平,免疫组化检测睾丸组织中蛋白表达,比色法检测睾丸中Fe 2+、丙二醛和脂质过氧化物水平。甲基化RNA免疫共沉淀、RT-PCR和Western blot检测N6-甲基腺嘌呤(N6-methyladenosine,m6A)修饰水平。结果250、500 mg/kg DEHP染毒组小鼠的血清睾酮水平显著降低(P<0.01),睾丸组织Fe 2+、丙二醛、脂质过氧化物水平显著升高(P<0.01),RNA去甲基化酶FTO、铁死亡相关分子铁蛋白重链1(ferritin heavy chain 1,FTH1)和谷胱甘肽过氧化酶4(glutathione peroxidase 4,GPX4)蛋白水平显著下调(P<0.05),转铁蛋白受体(transferrin receptor,TFRC)、膜铁转运蛋白(ferroportin,FPN)、环氧合酶-2(cyclooxygenase-2,COX-2)和酰基辅酶A合成酶长链家族成员4(acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4,ACSL4)蛋白水平显著上调(P<0.05)。MEHP处理TM3细胞24 h后,细胞活力下降、胞内活性氧(ROS)含量升高,线粒体膜电位(mitochondrial membrane potential,MMP)显著降低(P<0.01),Fto的mRNA和蛋白水平均显著下调(P<0.01),其余铁死亡相关蛋白的变化也与睾丸组织中趋势一致,提示睾丸间质细胞发生了铁死亡。以铁死亡抑制剂Fer-1干预或过表达Fto均能显著抑制MEHP诱导的TM3细胞毒性和铁死亡(P<0.05),同时过表达Fto使Gpx4和Fth1 mRNA的m6A修饰水平降低(P<0.05)。结论FTO表达抑制引起Gpx4、Fth1的m6A修饰异常可能是DEHP诱导睾丸间质细胞铁死亡的机制。展开更多
