Diallyl disulfide prevents cadmium-induced testicular injury by attenuating oxidative stress, apoptosis, and TLR-4/NF-κB and JAK1/STAT3 signaling and upregulating SIRT1 in rats
Background
Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal environmental pollutant that can cause serious health problems. Cd can cause structural changes in the testes and exposure to this heavy metal is associated with the loss of sperms and male infertility. The role of oxidative stress and inflammation in Cd toxicity has been acknowledged. Diallyl disulfide (DADS), an organo-sulfur compound found in garlic, possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cytoprotective effects. This study evaluated the protective effect of DADS against Cd reproductive toxicity in male rats, emphasizing the involvement of redox imbalance, TLR-4/NF-κB and JAK1/STAT3 signaling, and SIRT1.
Methods
DADS (10 mg/kg body weight) was administered orally to rats for 14 days and a single dose of Cd (1.2 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally on day 7. Blood and samples from the testes were collected for analysis.
Results
Cd caused testicular injury manifested by multiple histopathological changes and loss of sperms from seminiferous tubules. Circulating levels of gonadotropins and testosterone were decreased in Cd-administered rats. DADS prevented Cd-induced testicular injury and ameliorated serum levels of gonadotropins and testosterone. Cd increased testicular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) and upregulated TLR-4, NF-κB, pro-inflammatory cytokines, JAK1 and STAT3 phosphorylation, Bax and caspase-3, while decreased antioxidants and Bcl-2. DADS effectively decreased ROS and MDA, downregulated TLR-4, NF-κB, JAK1, STAT3, pro-inflammatory cytokines and pro-apoptosis markers in Cd-administered rats. In addition, DADS enhanced antioxidants, Bcl-2, SIRT1 and cytoglobin in the testis of Cd-administered rats.
Conclusion
DADS prevents Cd-induced testicular injury by attenuating oxidative stress, apoptosis, and TLR-4/NF-κB and JAK1/STAT3 signaling, and upregulating SIRT1 and antioxidants.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides the reader with a thorough description of theoretical and applied aspects of trace elements in medicine and biology and is devoted to the advancement of scientific knowledge about trace elements and trace element species. Trace elements play essential roles in the maintenance of physiological processes. During the last decades there has been a great deal of scientific investigation about the function and binding of trace elements. The Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology focuses on the description and dissemination of scientific results concerning the role of trace elements with respect to their mode of action in health and disease and nutritional importance. Progress in the knowledge of the biological role of trace elements depends, however, on advances in trace elements chemistry. Thus the Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology will include only those papers that base their results on proven analytical methods.
Also, we only publish those articles in which the quality assurance regarding the execution of experiments and achievement of results is guaranteed.
