摘要: 目的 探讨左卡尼汀(L-carnitine,LC)对环磷酰胺(cyclophosphamide,CP)所致大鼠睾丸损伤的保护作用及其机制。  方法 将18只雄性大鼠随机分为3组:生理盐水(NS)组,CP组,CP+LC组,腹腔注射给药。观测大鼠体重、精神等一般情况及睾丸重量,采用HE染色检测睾丸损伤情况,免疫组化和Western blot法检测睾丸内β-catenin的表达。  结果 CP组大鼠睾丸重量低于NS组(P<0.05),CP+LC组大鼠睾丸重量比CP组有所恢复(P<0.05);HE染色显示CP组和CP+LC组比NS组生精细胞层数减少(P<0.05),但CP+LC组较CP组生精细胞层数增多(P<0.05);免疫组化和Western blot均显示CP组β-catenin的表达量高于NS组(P<0.05),CP+LC组β-catenin表达量低于CP组(P<0.05)。  结论 左卡尼汀可下调β-catenin信号进而对环磷酰胺所致大鼠睾丸损伤起到保护作用,可能对抗瘤药引起的男性生育障碍具有潜在的治疗意义。

Abstract: Objective To investigate the protective effects and possible mechanisms of L-carnitine (LC) on cyclophosphamide (CP) induced testicular injury in rats. Methods Eighteen male rats were randomly divided into three groups and received intraperitoneal injection of appropriate drug(a Normal saline group, a CP group, a CP+LC group).  General conditions, weight and testicular weight of rats were recorded. The testicular injury condition was detected by HE staining, and the expression of β-catenin in testis was detected by immunohistochemistry and western blotting. Results The testicular weight in the CP group was lower than that of the NS group(P<0.05). While the testicular weight recovered in the CP+LC group(P<0.05). HE staining result showed that the number of spermatogenic cell layers in CP group decreased significantly than that of the NS group(P<0.05), but the number of spermatogenic cell layers of the CP+LC group was higher than that of the CP group(P<0.05). Immunohistochemistry and Western blot result showed that the expression of β-catenin in the CP group was higher than that of the NS group(P<0.05)while the expression of β-catenin in the CP+LC group was lower than that of the CP group(P<0.05).    Conclusions    L-carnitine can protect testicular injury in rats which induced by Cyclophosphamide through down-regulated β-catenin signaling, which makes a potential therapeutic significance for male fertility disorder caused by antitumor drugs.
