RNA-Seq Analysis of Testes from Mice Exposed to Neodymium Oxide.

ABSTRACT: (1) Objective: Rare earth neodymium oxide (Nd₂O₃) is refined and used extensively around the world, and the occupational and environmental safety of rare piles of the earth has attracted considerable attention. Nd₂O₃ enters the human body through the respiratory system, reaches various organs through blood circulation, and accumulates to produce toxic effects. At present, little is known about the reproductive toxicity of Nd₂O₃. Non-coding RNAs participate in a variety of physiological activities and are very important for spermatogenesis. However, it is unknown whether they are involved in Nd₂O₃-induced reproductive toxicity. Therefore, we conducted a pathological analysis, sperm quality testing, and R
