摘要: Although titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) have been demonstrated to accumulate in organs resulting toxicity, there is currently only limited data regarding male reproductive toxicity by TiO2 NPs. In this study, testicular damage and alterations gene expression profiles mice induced intragastric administration of 2.5, 5, 10mg/kg body weight NPs for 90 consecutive days were examined. Our findings showed that can cross the blood-testis barrier reach testis therein, which, turn, results lesions, sperm malformations, serum sex hormone levels. Furthermore, microarray analysis 70 genes with known functions up-regulated, while 72 down-regulated NPs-exposed testes. Of altered expressions, Ly6e, Adam3, Tdrd6, Spata19, Tnp2, Prm1 are involved spermatogenesis, whereas Sc4mol, Psmc3ip, Mvd, Srd5a2, Lep, Cyp2e1 associated steroid metabolism. Hence, production application should be carried out cautiously, especially humans age.
