摘要
背景:神经激肽 B 是一种内源性十肽,通过促性腺激素释放激素介导其生殖生理作用。尽管神经激肽B对精囊具有潜在作用,但其对成年雄性哺乳动物精囊的影响仍然难以捉摸。我们旨在研究不同剂量的神经激肽B、其激动剂和拮抗剂对成年雄性大鼠精囊组织形态学、精囊上NK3R的表达以及精囊分泌活性的潜在影响:成年雄性 Sprague Dawley 大鼠(每组 10 只)腹腔注射三种不同剂量的神经激肽 B:1 μg、1 ηg和10 μg,同时连续注射1 μg剂量的Senktide(神经激肽B激动剂)和SB222200(神经激肽B拮抗剂)12天。多肽治疗 12 天后,每组一半动物(n=05)被处死,另一半动物(n=05)在没有任何治疗的情况下再保留 12 天,以研究治疗逆转。解剖精囊并对切除的组织进行光镜观察、免疫组化和精液果糖水平评估:结果:与对照组相比,神经激肽B和Senktide能明显增加精囊重量、上皮高度和精液果糖水平,而SB222200能略微降低精囊重量、上皮高度和精液果糖水平。光镜观察显示,与对照组相比,所有神经激肽 B 和参肽处理组的上皮高度和上皮褶皱均有所增加,而 SB222200 处理组则有所减少。不同剂量的神经激肽 B、Senktide 和 SB222200 对精囊重量、上皮高度、精液果糖水平和组织形态学的影响在大鼠未接受治疗的情况下被逆转。神经激肽 B 的免疫表达在治疗组和逆转组均无变化:连续给药神经激肽 B 和 SB222200 会对精囊细胞形态、上皮高度和精液果糖水平产生积极影响,而 SB222200 则会产生有害影响。当大鼠未接受任何治疗时,肽治疗的效果会向对照组逆转。
Neurokinin B Administration Induces Dose Dependent Proliferation of Seminal Vesicles in Adult Rats.
Background: Neurokinin B; an endogenous decapeptide, mediates its reproductive physiological actions through gonadotropin releasing hormone. Despite the potential role of Neurokinin B on seminal vesicles, its effects on seminal vesicles in adult male mammals remain elusive. We aimed to investigate the potentials of variable doses of Neurokinin B, its agonist and antagonist on histomorphology and expression of NK3R on seminal vesicles, and secretory activity of seminal vesicles in adult male rats.
Methods: Adult male Sprague Dawley rats (n=10 in each group) were administered intraperitoneally with Neurokinin B in three variable doses: 1 μg, 1 ηg and 10 ρg while, Senktide (Neurokinin B agonist) and SB222200 (Neurokinin B antagonist) in 1 μg doses consecutively for 12 days. After 12 days of peptide treatment, half of the animals (n=05) in each group were sacrificed while remaining half (n=05) were kept for another 12 days without any treatment to investigate treatment reversal. Seminal vesicles were dissected and excised tissue was processed for light microscopy, immunohistochemistry and estimation of seminal fructose levels.
Results: Treatment with Neurokinin B and Senktide significantly increased while SB222200 slightly decrease the seminal vesicles weight, epithelial height and seminal fructose levels as compared to control. Light microscopy revealed increased epithelial height and epithelial folding as compared to control in all Neurokinin B and Senktide treated groups while decreased in SB222200. Effects of various doses of Neurokinin B, Senktide and SB222200 on seminal vesicles weight, epithelial height, seminal fructose levels and histomorphology were reversed when rats were maintained without treatments. Immuno-expression of Neurokinin B shows no change in treatment and reversal groups.
Conclusion: Continuous administration of Neurokinin B and Senktide effect positively while SB222200 have detrimental effects on cellular morphology, epithelial height and seminal fructose levels in seminal vesicles. Effects of peptide treatments depicted a reversal towards control group when rats were kept without any treatment.
期刊介绍:
Current Protein & Peptide Science publishes full-length/mini review articles on specific aspects involving proteins, peptides, and interactions between the enzymes, the binding interactions of hormones and their receptors; the properties of transcription factors and other molecules that regulate gene expression; the reactions leading to the immune response; the process of signal transduction; the structure and function of proteins involved in the cytoskeleton and molecular motors; the properties of membrane channels and transporters; and the generation and storage of metabolic energy. In addition, reviews of experimental studies of protein folding and design are given special emphasis. Manuscripts submitted to Current Protein and Peptide Science should cover a field by discussing research from the leading laboratories in a field and should pose questions for future studies. Original papers, research articles and letter articles/short communications are not considered for publication in Current Protein & Peptide Science.
