Evaluation of the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity potential of synthetic diacetyl food flavoring in silico, in vivo, and in vitro
Food Chem Toxicol. 2023 Jul 1:113923. doi: 10.1016/j.fct.2023.113923. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDiacetyl is a common ingredient that creates a buttery flavor in baked goods and other food products. The cytotoxic impact of diacetyl on a normal human liver cell line (THLE2) indicated an IC50 value of 41.29 mg/ml through MTT assay and a cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase relative to the control. Administration of diacetyl at two-time points (acute-chronic) led to a significant increase in DNA damage indicated by the increase in tail length, tail DNA%, and tail moment. The mRNA and protein expression levels of genes in t...

V-ATPase V0 subunit activation mediates maduramicin-induced methuosis through blocking endolysosomal trafficking in vitro and in vivo
Food Chem Toxicol. 2023 Jun 30:113922. doi: 10.1016/j.fct.2023.113922. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMethuosis, a novel cell death phenotype, is characterized by accumulation of cytoplasmic vacuolization upon external stimulus. Methuosis plays a critical role in maduramicin-induced cardiotoxicity despite the underlying mechanism is largely unknown. Herein, we aimed to investigate the origin and intracellular trafficking of cytoplasmic vacuoles, as well as the molecular mechanism of methuosis caused by maduramicin (1 μg/mL) in myocardial cells. H9c2 cells and broiler chicken were used and were exposed to maduramicin at dos...

Hepatotoxicity screening and ranking of structurally different pyrrolizidine alkaloids in zebrafish
In this study, a zebrafish model, which mimics physiological processes of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, was selected to evaluate acute hepatotoxic potency of different PAs (7 PAs and 2 PA N-oxides) and explore possible physiological pathways involved in PA-induced hepatotoxicity. After 6 h oral administration, PAs caused distinct structure-dependent hepatotoxicity with a series of biochemical and histological changes in zebrafish. Based on the measured toxicological endpoints, the relative toxic potency order of different PAs was derived as lasiocarpine ∼ retrorsine > monocrotaline > riddelli...

The prevalence and concentration of ochratoxin A in meat and edible offal: A global systematic review and meta-analysis
Food Chem Toxicol. 2023 Jun 28;178:113921. doi: 10.1016/j.fct.2023.113921. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe prevalence of ochratoxin A (OTA) in meat, edible offal, and meat products (MOP) was assessed through systematic review and meta-analysis. Four electronic databases were used to gather data from 1975 to September 15, 2022. Seventy-five articles comprising 8585 samples were identified and analyzed. The studies included in the analysis were conducted at a global level, with a predominant focus on Europe [72% (54/75)], Asia [13.33% (10/75)], Africa [13.33% (10/75)], and North America [1.33% (1/75)].

Unfortunately, enterotoxicity mechanisms of TCC exposure remain largely unknown. Using a combination of 16S rRNA gene sequencing, metabolomics, histopathological and biological examinations, this study systematically explored the deteriorating effects of TCC exposure on a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis mouse model. We found that TCC exposure at different doses signific...

Asparanin A exerts cytotoxicity on human endometrial cancer Ishikawa cells via regulating miR-6236-p5_4 expression
Food Chem Toxicol. 2023 Jun 25;178:113900. doi: 10.1016/j.fct.2023.113900. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTmiRNAs are emerging as a novel proto-oncogene or tumor suppressor in the initiation and progression of cancer. Several plants naturally contain asparanin A (AA), which has potent anticancer properties. Previously, we discovered that AA exposure increased the expression of miR-6236-p5_4 and caused cytotoxicity in endometrial carcinoma (EC) Ishikawa cells. Herein, the regulation mechanism of miR-6236-p5_4 in the anticancer activity of AA in EC was investigated. Our results showed that the overexpressed miR-6236-p5_4 contr...
