Effects of Polychlorinated Biphenyls 28, 30 and 118 on Bovine Spermatozoa In Vitro

Abstract: Decline of semen quality due to endocrine-disrupting chemicals is of concern globally. Among endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDC), Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) are associated with reduced semen quality in various epidemiological studies. In this study, we evaluated the direct effects of selected PCBs (28, 30 and 118) on fresh spermatozoa of Simmetial bulls aged 2-4 years were evaluated in vitro by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and computer assisted semen analysis (… Show more

“…Furthermore, although this was not true for every case, a number of human studies have pointed to inverse relationships between blood serum or seminal plasma PCBs within the range of current levels for most European populations and standard sperm parameters, particularly with sperm motility, which was found to be more vulnerable to PCB exposure than sperm concentration or morphology (Bush et al 1986. Supporting these findings, non-genomic studies have shown a decrease in motility (Table 1) after exposure to low levels of 2,2 0 ,6,6 0 tetrachlorobiphenyl (PCB54; Roediger et al 1989) and 2,4,4 0 -trichlorobiphenyl (PCB28), 2,4,6-trichlorobiphenyl (PCB30), and 2,3 0 ,4,4 0 ,5-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB118; Yurdakok et al 2015) in human and bull spermatozoa. Moreover, porcine sperm treated with an organochlorine mixture containing several PCB congeners plus a panoply of other compounds, including pesticides, were also found to reduce both motility and viability in vitro (Campagna et al 2002).…”

“…After 24 h incubation, standardized cell viability test, MTT, was done according to our previous studies (Yurdakok et al 2015). Viability of the cells was analyzed by using a microplate reader (SpectraMax i3/ i3x MultiMode Detection Platform, Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA) at 540 nm.…”

“…PCBs specifically also produce free radicals in testicular cells that decrease catalase activity which is meant to combat oxidative stress ( 43 ). PCBs are known to inhibit gene expression of steroidogenic enzymes by binding to AhR and androgen receptors, thus resulting in oxidative stress and ultimately apoptosis ( 43 , 44 ) ( Figure 1 ).…”
