Yttrium (Y), one of the most widely used heavy rare earth elements, has been reported the cytotoxicity. However, the biological effects of Y\n 3+<\/jats:sup>\n in the human body are largely unknown.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n \n To further investigate the effects of Y on the reproductive system,\n in vivo<\/jats:italic>\n (rat models) and\n in vitro<\/jats:italic>\n studies were performed. Histopathological and immunohistochemical examination were conducted, and western blotting assays were performed to detect the protein expression. TUNEL\/DAPI staining were used to detect cell apoptosis, and the intracellular calcium concentrations were also determined.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Long-term exposure to YCl\n 3<\/jats:sub>\n in rats produced significant pathological changes. YCl\n 3<\/jats:sub>\n treatment could induce cell apoptosis\n in vivo<\/jats:italic>\n and\n in vitro<\/jats:italic>\n . In addition, YCl\n 3<\/jats:sub>\n enhanced the concentration of cytosolic Ca\n 2+<\/jats:sup>\n and up regulated the expression of IP3R1\/CaMKII axis in Leydig cells. However, inhibition of IP3R1 and CaMKII with 2-APB and KN93, respectively, could reverse these effects.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n \n Long-term exposure to yttrium could induce testicular injury by stimulating cell apoptosis, which might be associated with activation of Ca\n 2+<\/jats:sup>\n \/IP3R1\/CaMKII axis in Leydig cells.\n <\/jats:p>\n
