Project description:Methoxyacetic acid (MAA) is the active metabolite of the widely used industrial chemical ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, an established testicular toxicant. MAA induces the degradation of testicular germ cells in association with changes in gene expression in both germ cells and Sertoli cells of the testis. This study investigates the impact of MAA on gene expression in testicular Leydig cells, which play a critical role in germ cell survival and male reproductive function. Cultured mouse TM3 Leydig cells were treated with MAA for 3, 8, and 24 h and global gene expression was monitored by microarray analysis. A total of 3,912 MAA-responsive genes were identified. Ingenuity Pathway analysis identified reproductive system disease, inflammatory disease and connective tissue disorder as the top biological functions affected by MAA. The MAA-responsive genes were classified into 1,366 early responders, 1,387 mid-responders, and 1,138 late responders, based on the time required for MAA to elicit a response. Analysis of enriched functional clusters for each subgroup identified 106 MAA early response genes involved in transcription regulation, including 32 genes associated with developmental processes and 60 DNA-binding proteins that responded to MAA rapidly but transiently, and which may contribute to the downstream effects of MAA seen for large numbers of mid and late response genes. Genes within the phosphatidylinositol/phospholipase C/calcium signaling pathway, whose activity is required for potentiation of nuclear receptor signaling by MAA, were also enriched in the set of early MAA response genes. These findings on the progressive changes in gene expression induced by MAA in Leydig cells may help elucidate the signaling pathways perturbed by this testicular toxicant and explain its mechanism of toxicity at the gene level.

Project description:We performed global scale microarray analysis to identify detailed mechanisms by which bisphenol A (BPA) induce cell death by using an Affymetrix GeneChip system. Testicular Sertoli TTE3 cells used in the present study were derived from transgenic mice harboring a temperature-sensitive simian virus 40 large T-antigen. Cell death accompanying endoplasmic reticulum stress was observed in the cells treated with 0.2 mM BPA. Of the 22,690 probe sets analyzed, approximately 1,300 genes were down- and up-regulated by a factor of 2.0 or greater in the cells treated with BPA.

These findings on the progressive changes in gene expression induced by MAA in Leydig cells may help elucidate the signaling pathways perturbed by this testicular toxicant and explain its mechanism of toxicity at the gene level. Mouse TM3 Leydig cells (American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, VA) were grown in DMEM-F12 medium containing 5% horse serum and 2.5% FBS. Cells were grown to ~60% confluence and treated with culture medium alone, or with culture medium containing 1 mM or 5 mM MAA for either 3, 8 or 24 h. Total RNA was then isolated using TRIzol reagent, followed by incubation with RQ1 RNAse-free DNAse for 1 h at 37°C and then heating at 75°C for 5 min using the manufacturerâs protocol. A total of 6 cultures of TM3 cells were independently treated with MAA under each of the 6 treatment conditions specified above (i.e., 1 mM or 5 mM MAA for either 3, 8 or 24 h), and the corresponding 6 sets of RNA samples were validated by RNA integrity analysis (Agilent Bioanalyzer). Each RNA sample was also validated by qPCR analysis using SYBR Green I-based chemistry and primers specific for 3 genes known to respond to MAA (Cyp17a1, Shbg, and Igfbp3) to verify consistency of the MAA responses. The 6 RNA samples were then used to prepare two independent pools (n=3 RNA samples each) for microarray analysis with dye swaps. Sample labeling, hybridization to microarrays, scanning and calculation of normalized expression ratios were carried out at the Wayne State University Institute of Environmental Health Sciences microarray facility using Alexa 555 and Alexa 647 aminoallyl-aRNA samples

Project description:<p>Bisphenol F (BPF), a widespread environmental contaminant and a major substitute for the restricted bisphenol A (BPA), has raised increasing concerns regarding its potential male reproductive health risks, yet its underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study investigates the mechanisms underlying BPF-induced testicular damage, focusing on the interplay among gut microbiota (GM) dysbiosis, histidine metabolism disruption, and ferroptosis. Using a mouse model exposed to BPF (50, 100, and 200 mg/kg/day) for 28 days, we observed significant testicular pathology, including seminiferous tubule atrophy, vacuolation, and blood-testis barrier (BTB) impairment. Metagenomic and metabolomic analyses revealed GM dysbiosis and suppressed intestinal histidine metabolism, accompanied by decreased abundance of beneficial taxa (e.g., Bacteroides, Ligilactobacillus) and increased potential pathobionts (e.g., Akkermansia, Mucispirillum). BPF exposure also inhibited the expression of the histidine transporter LAT1, reducing histidine uptake in testes. Crucially, BPF triggered testicular ferroptosis, characterized by mitochondrial damage, iron accumulation, lipid peroxidation, and downregulation of the ferroptosis regulatory system xCT-GSH-GPX4 axis. In vitro experiments using mouse Sertoli cells (mSCs) confirmed BPF-induced ferroptosis, which was mitigated by the exogenous histidine supplementation. Histidine administration in vivo ameliorated testicular damage, restored BTB integrity, and reversed ferroptotic markers. Our findings unveil a novel “GM-histidine-testis” axis as a key mechanistic pathway for BPF-induced reproductive toxicity, providing critical insights into the health risks of emerging environmental pollutants and suggesting potential dietary intervention strategies.</p>
