Abstract
Nonylphenol (NP) is considered an important environmental toxicant, which may disrupt male reproductive system. The aim of this study was to investigate 4-n-nonylphenol (4-n-NP) induced apoptosis and its related mechanism in mouse Sertoli cell line, TM4 cells. Our results showed that NP treatment (0.1, 1, 10, 20 and 30 μM) decreased cell viability and induced apoptosis in the cells, accompanied by alteration of Bcl-2 family mRNA expression, activation of caspases-3, release of Ca(2+), and increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Subsequently, it was found that the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) in the cells were markedly decreased, and maleic dialdehyde (MDA) content was increased by NP treatment. Then activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) pathways and inhibition of Akt pathway were simultaneously detected in NP challenged TM4 cells. Taken together, it was concluded that NP induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis in TM4 cells, and the apoptosis may be mediated via MAPKs and Akt pathways in addition to Ca(2+) release and ROS generation.
