Assessment of the oxidative damage and apoptotic pathway related to furan cytotoxicity in cultured mouse Leydig cells
Research on heat-induced food contamination is being given more attention as a result of the health risks that have been publicly revealed in recent years. Furan is known as a colorless, combustible, heterocyclic aromatic organic molecule and is formed when food products are processed and stored. It...

description | Research on heat-induced food contamination is being given more attention as a result of the health risks that have been publicly revealed in recent years. Furan is known as a colorless, combustible, heterocyclic aromatic organic molecule and is formed when food products are processed and stored. It has been established that furan, which is inevitably ingested, has a deleterious impact on human health and causes toxicity. Furan is known to have adverse effects on the immune system, neurological system, skin, liver, kidney, and fat tissue. Infertility caused by furan is a result of its damaging effects on several tissues and organs as well as the reproductive system. Although studies on the adverse effects of furan on the male reproductive system have been performed, there is no study revealing apoptosis in Leydig cells at the gene level. In this study, TM3 mouse Leydig cells were exposed to 250- and 2,500-μM concentrations of furan for 24 h. The findings demonstrated that furan decreased cell viability and antioxidant enzyme activity while increasing lipid peroxidation, reactive oxygen species, and apoptotic cell rates. Furan also increased the expression of the important apoptotic genes Casp3 and Trp53 while decreasing the expression of another pro-apoptotic gene, Bcl2, and antioxidant genes Sod1, Gpx1, and Cat. In conclusion, these results imply that furan may cause loss of cell function in mouse Leydig cells responsible for testosterone biosynthesis by impairing the efficiency of the antioxidant system, possibly by inducing cytotoxicity, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. |
