Özet:

 Polychlorinated biphenyls PCBs are industrial substances which were widely used in industrial applications starting from the 1930s until the mid-1970s. Aroclor 1242 A1242 is a commercial PCB mixture with 42 chlorine manufactured by the Monsanto Chemical Company in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. Previous studies suggested that PCBs have inhibitory effect on reproductive function, developmental abnormality, and impaired reproductive ability. PCBs may also affect the endocrine system by reducing the testosterone synthesis and the activity of steroidogenic enzymes in Leydig cells. This study was performed to investigate the specific effects of A1242 on the via-bility of Leydig cells, oxidative damage, and the profile of steroidogenic enzymes in an in vitro culture. The therapeutic effects of vitamin E VitE and genistein Gen, as two antioxidants, in mitigating the damage produced by A1242 were also evaluated. TM3 Leydig cells were exposed to 10-8 and 10-6 M of A1242 and VitE 50µM and Gen 10µM as antioxidant for 24 h. After the exposure period, the Leydig cells were assessed to determine their viability using a cell viability assay. Measurements were performed for lipid peroxidation, reactive oxygen species ROS, and steroidogenic enzymes. The results showed that cell viability was reduced after A1242 exposure, while lipid peroxidation and ROS increased. Steroidogenesis was interrupted in a concentration-dependent manner. Following A1242 exposure, administrations of VitE or Gen as an antioxidant reduced hazardous effects of A1242 on Leydig cells. Our results showed that exposure to A1242 may impair Leydig cell function and cause toxicity in Leydig cells and that VitE and Gen treatment exhibited therapeutic effects against this toxicity.

 Poliklorlu bifeniller PCBler, 1930lardan 1970lerin ortalarına kadar endüstriyel uygulamalarda yaygın olarak kullanılan endüstriyel maddelerdir. Aroclor 1242 A1242, St. Louis, Missourideki Monsanto Chemical Company tarafından üretilen 42 klor içeren ticari bir PCB karışımıdır. Önceki çalışmalarda PCBlerin üreme fonksiyonu, gelişimsel anormallik ve bozulmuş üreme yeteneği üzerinde inhibitör etkisi olduğu öne sürülmüştür. Ayrıca Leydig hücrelerinde testosteron sentezini ve steroidojenik enzimlerin aktivitesini azaltarak endokrin sistemi etkileyebilirler. Bu çalışmanın amacı, A1242nin Leydig hücrelerinin canlılığı, oksidatif hasar ve steroidojenik enzim-lerin profili üzerindeki spesifik etkilerini in vitro kültürde araştırmaktır. Ayrıca çalışma, iki anti-oksidan olan E vitamini VitE ve genisteinin Gen A1242nin neden olduğu hasarı hafifletmede-ki terapötik etkilerini değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. TM3 Leydig hücreleri, 24 saat boyunca 10-8 ve 10-6 M A1242ye ve antioksidan olarak VitE 50μM ve Gene 10 μM maruz bırakıldı. Ma-ruz kalma süresinden sonra Leydig hücreleri, bir hücre canlılığı tahlili kullanılarak canlılıklarının belirlenmesi için değerlendirildi. Lipid peroksidasyonu, reaktif oksijen türleri ROS ve steroido-jenik enzimler için ölçümler yapıldı. Sonuçlar, A1242 maruziyetinden sonra hücre canlılığının azaldığını, lipid peroksidasyonunun ve ROSun arttığını gösterdi. Steroidogenez, konsantrasyona bağlı bir şekilde kesintiye uğradı. A1242yi takiben, bir antioksidan olarak VitE veya Genin uy-gulanması, A1242nin Leydig hücreleri üzerindeki zararlı etkilerini azalttı. Bulgularımız A1242ye maruz kalmanın Leydig hücre fonksiyonuna zarar verebileceğini ve Leydig hücrelerinde toksisit-eye neden olabileceğini, VitE ve Gen tedavilerinin bu toksisiteye karşı terapötik etkileri olduğunu göstermektedir.
