Abstract：
:There are reports of fluorochloridone (FLC)-induced male reproductive toxicity, but the underlying toxicological mechanisms remain unknown. In this study, we looked at how FLC exposure affected the integrity of the blood-testis barrier (BTB) and the Sertoli cell barrier and studied the molecular mechanisms. Male rats received gavage administration of FLC (30 mg/kg/d) for 14 consecutive days with sample collection at the 7th and 14th day; and primary cultured Sertoli cells were treated with 0-10 μM FLC in vitro for 24 h. Our in vivo findings revealed that FLC exposure caused time-dependent testicular injuries, sperm quality decrease as well as adverse changes in BTB integrity, F-actin organization, and expressions of claudin-11 and Arp3. In Sertoli cells isolated from FLC-treated rat testis, Sertoli cell barrier tightness was increased. In Sertoli cells in vitro exposed to FLC, abnormal changes in the barrier permeability were also observed, and the protein expressions of occludin, claudin-11, ZO-1, connexin-43, and Arp3 were significantly decreased in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Furthermore, the FLC-induced adverse changes in Sertoli cell barrier and F-actin were partly alleviated by the induction of Arp3 overexpression. In conclusion, our findings revealed that FLC perturbed BTB/Sertoli cell barrier function through Arp3-mediated F-actin disorganization.
