Reactive oxygen species, not Ca 2+ , mediates methotrexate‐induced autophagy and apoptosis in spermatocyte cell line
17 Aug 2019
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Methotrexate (MTX) is widely used to treat cancers and systemic autoimmune diseases. However, it is severely toxic to healthy cells, especially those of the reproductive system, and therefore poses a great risk to patient fertility. In addition, the underlying mechanism of MTX‐induced reproductive toxicity has not yet been fully elucidated. Here, a spermatocyte cell line (GC2) was used as an in vitro...
