The effects of T-2 toxin on the in vitro mitogen responses and the antibody-producing ability of human peripheral blood lymphocytes were evaluated. T-2 toxin inhibited the mitogen response to concanavalin A (ConA) at a lower concentration (1.6 ng/ml) as compared to phytohemagglutinin (2.4 ng/ml) and pokeweed mitogen (2.4 ng/ml). Maximum inhibition was observed when the toxin was present during the first 8 h; however, the cultures were not refractory to inhibition until 48 h after culture initiation. The antibody-producing ability was inhibited by T-2 toxin concentrations of greater than or equal to 3.2 ng/ml. T-2 toxin did not induce or interfere with the generation of suppressor cells by ConA. The results of this study indicate that various lymphocyte subpopulations have different susceptibilities to T-2 toxin. The activation process associated with lymphocyte proliferation appears to be one of the most sensitive time periods. 相似文献

The trichothecene mycotoxin T-2 is reported to exhibit immunotoxic activity. The potential presence of T-2 in foods renders it as public health hazard and its toxicity needs to be better understood. We investigated the in vitro effects of T-2 at sub-toxic (0.1 ng/ml) and toxic (10 ng/ml) levels on freshly isolated human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs). We observed no direct influence on untreated PBLs. The toxic dose of T-2, however, totally inhibited phytohemagglutinin-induced T lymphocyte proliferation and caused early apoptosis that peaked after 8 h of exposure. Both major T lymphocyte subsets (CD4+ and CD8+) were affected as they appeared to show a positive response to T-2 at 8 h followed by their sharp reduction after 96 h. Further investigation on the naïve (CD45RA+) and memory (CD45RO+) subpopulations confirmed these observations and indicated that T-2 affected equally all the subpopulations studied, although PHA preferentially stimulated CD45RO+ T lymphocytes. Sub-toxic T-2 appeared to exhibit co stimulatory properties to PHA-stimulated cells. These results support the hypothesis that T-2 affects the activation-induced cell death mechanism of T lymphocytes. 相似文献

Systemic effects of topical application of T-2 toxin in mice 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Topical application of T-2 toxin in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) resulted in the death of 20/20 mice in the 20-, 30-, and 40-mg/kg body weight (BW) dose groups within 4 to 6 days after application, whereas 17/20 and 5/20 animals died in the 10- and 5 mg/kg BW groups, respectively, within 7 days. Histological examination of thymus, spleen, and duodenum at 6, 12, 18, and 24 hr after topical application of 5 or 40 mg/kg BW to mice revealed that the characteristic radiomimetic effects of this trichothecene mycotoxin are easily recognizable at 6 hr after topical application, with the severity of damage being dependent on the organ and time. The lesions are quantitatively and qualitatively identical with those seen after intragastrical application of T-2 toxin. Both the postmortem and, to some extent, the general histological findings were not specific enough to arrive at an etiological diagnosis without prior knowledge of the fact that a mycotoxin was applied to the skin, unless one had the opportunity to look for the characteristic intestinal lesions prior to 24 hr after application, or for necrosis in spleen an thymus after 24 hr. 相似文献

Cytoprotector amifostine (AMI) was given in a dose of 50, 100 or 150?mg/kg ip in rats treated with several highly toxic doses of T-2 toxin. The best survival rate (24?h and 7?days after treatment) was obtained with AMI50 (50?mg/kg ip). After T-2 intoxication, a peak in the mean number of gastric lesions (petechiae and ulcerations) was reached on the third day (26.40?±?6.24). Administration of AMI50 reduced, almost completely, the total number of gastric lesions in rats acutely poisoned by 0.5 LD50 T-2 (1.5?mg/kg sc), starting with day 1 after intoxication (5.60?±?3.42). 相似文献

T-2 toxin belongs to a group of mycotoxins synthesized by Fusarium fungi that are widely encountered as natural contaminants of certain important agricultural commodities particularly, cereals. Upon exposure, T-2 toxin causes severe human and animal diseases. It is considered to be a major causative agent in fatal alimentary toxic aleukia (ATA) in humans. In this study, cytotoxicity and apotosis induction by T-2 toxin was investigated in vitro on Vero cell line using the MTT and the neutral red viability assays, the induction of lipid peroxidation, the decrease of macromolecule levels (protein, DNA and RNA), DNA fragmentation and caspase-3-dependent apoptosis induction. Our results showed that T-2 toxin reduced cell viability correlated to an impairment of macromolecule levels. It also increased MDA formation, induced DNA fragmentation showed by DNA laddering patterns on agarose gel electrophoresis. This fragmentation is in relation with apoptosis induction which was confirmed by activation of caspase-3, and depletion of the mitochondrial membrane potential reflecting a mitochondrial dysfunction. 相似文献

The sensitivity of lymphoid cells to the cytotoxic effects of T-2 toxin (T-2) varies according to their degree of differentiation. To understand the mechanisms of these variations, the uptake and the metabolism of T-2 in susceptible (human lymphoma Daudi and phytohaemagglutinin-stimulated murine lymphocytes) and resistant (human leukaemia KE37 and REH) cells were studied in culture. When cells were incubated with [3H]T-2 a significant increase in the quantity of T-2 associated with the cell occurred during the first 30 min, this increased further from 10-16 hr, and decreased after 24 hr. Daudi and REH cells took up 20 and 3% of the T-2 present in the medium, respectively. Metabolites, extracted from the culture medium and from cells, were analysed by the thin-layer chromatography. The products were identified by comparison with standards for T-2 tetraol, T-2 triol, HT-2 toxin, neosolaniol and T-2. Qualitatively, similar metabolic pathways were found in all cells examined. The presence of these metabolites demonstrated that T-2 was taken up by these cells. A correlation existed between the relative sensitivities of the cells toward T-2 and the amount of intracellular T-2 and/or metabolites. It is thought that differences in the kinetics of uptake and processing of T-2 account for the known differences in cellular sensitivities to the toxin. 相似文献

A 16-wk feeding study was conducted to evaluate the chronic toxicity of graded levels (0, 1.0, 2.5.5, 10 and 15 mg/kg of chemically pure dietary T-2 toxin (4,15-diacetoxy-8-(3-methylbutyryloxy)-12,13-epoxy-Δ9-tricothecen-3-ol) in 1-g rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri, held in 9°C single-passage well water. Levels of T-2 toxin > 2.5 mg/kg depressed growth, efficiency of feed use, hematocrit, blood hemoglobin concentration and feed acceptance, and caused a transitory edema in a dose-dependent manner. Growth of trout fed a semipurified diet containing the toxin was described by the function: Y = 0.265 + 142.075 e(0.029X1? 1.554x23.7), where Y = gain as percentage starting weight per wk; X1 is time in wk and 0 ? X1?16; and X2 is T-2 content of diet in mg/kgand 0?X2?15.Exposure of fish to T-2 toxin did not affect activity of intestinal lumen chymoirypsin or trypsin, nitrogen digestibility or metabolizabte energy. Feeding of 15 mg/kg T-2 toxin to adult trout caused hemorrhaging in the intestines and regurgitation of subsequently intubated feed regardless of T-2 loxin content. 相似文献

Immunoperoxidase localization of T-2 toxin 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Antibody against T-2 toxin was used for monitoring the fate of T-2 toxin in mice given a single po dose of 11 mg/kg by the peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) method. T-2 toxin was demonstrable in the esophagus from 5 min to about 24 hr postdosing. In the stomach, T-2 toxin was detected within the cytoplasm of intact and injured epithelial cells. In the duodenum, T-2 toxin was primarily localized within the surface epithelium and phagocytic elements (macrophages and neutrophils) of the duodenal lamina propria, especially toward the tips of the villi. Following sloughing of duodenal villous tips, the recovering villous tip epithelial cells frequently showed both cytoplasmic and nuclear T-2 toxin. The jejunum showed weak T-2 toxin within the cytoplasm of villous tip epithelial cells only. The ileum never demonstrated T-2 toxin. Tissue response in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract was characterized by transient edema, marked cytolysis and sloughing, and a subsequent leukocytic invasion of the stomach and proximal small intestine. Evidence of severe gastric and less severe duodenal bleeding was apparent and associated with a marked loss of gastric epithelium and intestinal villous tips. The kidney medulla contained the majority of T-2 toxin stain. T-2 toxin was noted within the distal tubular cells, the cells of the collecting tubules, and the epithelium covering the papilla. T-2 toxin was never demonstrated in any of the hepatic tissue examined. 相似文献

Metabolic pathways of T-2 toxin 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Among the naturally-occurring trichothecenes found in food and feed, T-2 toxin is the most potent and toxic mycotoxin. After ingestion of T-2 toxin into the organism, it is processed and eliminated. Some metabolites of this trichothecene are equally toxic or slightly more toxic than T-2 itself, and therefore, the metabolic fate of T-2 toxin has been of great concern. The main reactions in trichothecene metabolism are hydrolysis, hydroxylation and deep oxidation. Typical metabolites of T-2 toxin in an organism are HT-2 toxin, T-2-triol, T-2-tetraol, 3'-hydroxy-T-2, and 3'-hydroxy-HT-2 toxin. There are significant differences in the metabolic pathways of T-2 toxin between ruminants and non-ruminants. Ruminants have been more resistant to the adverse effects of T-2 toxin due to microbial degradation within rumen microorganisms. Some plant species are resistant to T-2 toxin, while others are capable of its intake and metabolisation. 相似文献

Cultured rat hepatocytes were treated with several doses of T-2 mycotoxin for either 1 or 12 hr and with or without a 12 hr recovery period. Inhibition of protein synthesis and release of lactate dehydrogenase were measured and correlated with ultrastructural changes, as assessed by transmission electron microscopy. Results indicated that at a dose of 0.01 microgram/ml protein synthesis was inhibited 75% within 1 hr, but recovered to near control levels with or without the continual presence of toxin. At the higher toxin dose of 1.0 microgram/ml hepatocytes were able to recover from a 1 hr, but not a 12 hr, exposure. Cell damage, as assessed by release of lactate dehydrogenase, lagged behind inhibition of protein synthesis. Only at a T-2 concentration of 1.0 microgram/ml for 12 hr followed by a 12 hr recovery period was release of lactate dehydrogenase significantly elevated over control values. Under the same parameters, protein synthesis was inhibited 94%. The ultrastructural appearance of the cell membrane, nucleus, lysosomes, peroxisomes and smooth endoplasmic reticulum remained unchanged. The two organelles which appeared altered by T-2 exposure were the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the mitochondria. Endoplasmic reticulum changes were limited to degranulation of attached ribosomes without dilation of the cisternae. Alterations were seen as early as 1 hr at a T-2 dose of 0.01 microgram/ml. After a dose of 1.0 microgram/ml T-2 for 12 hr some mitochondria displayed one or more non-membrane-bound translucent foci, some of which contained electron-dense cores. 相似文献

T-2 toxin effect on cultured myocardial cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Beat rate, contractility and viability of cultured myocardial cells perfused with solutions containing various concentrations of T-2 toxin were studied. While doses below 50 micrograms/ml had no immediate effect, those above 250 micrograms/ml decreased beat rate and amplitude. After 10-30 min of perfusion most cells stopped beating and did not restart after withdrawal of toxin. Nevertheless, most cells remained viable as judged by morphology and trypan blue exclusion. A 24-h exposure to doses of 5 or 2.5 micrograms/ml of toxin decreased the beat rate and inotropic responses of the myocytes. After 48 h cell death ensued. Thus T-2 toxin has some direct toxicity to myocardial cells but the lethal dose seems too high to make this the cause of cardiovascular failure. 相似文献

The penetration and distribution of T-2 toxin in excised human abdominal skin has been determined for a dose range of 1.0-2.6 micrograms/cm2 skin using an ethanol vehicle and a saline receptor solution. In all cases the overall percentage penetration of T-2 after 48 h was low, the greatest amounts of toxin being present in the stratum corneum with less in the epidermis and relatively little in the dermis. Vehicle: skin partition coefficients support this finding. Neither penetration nor distribution were changed by a rabbit serum receptor solution. Electron micrographs showed that at 1.8 micrograms/cm2 and above the contents of the intercellular space are leached out to leave the integument as a porous membrane. The distribution of T-2 within the skin after 48 h would suggest that for doses up to 2.6 micrograms/cm2 the irritative and inflammatory effects on the skin would be of more immediate concern than would systemic toxicity. 相似文献

T-2 toxin is one of the most toxic trichothecenes and harmful to human health and animal husbandry. The mechanism underlying its growth suppression remains unclear, especially for mitochondrial damage in human gastric epithelial cells. In the present study, we investigated cell death caused by T-2 toxin in a human gastric epithelial cell line (GES-1) and the possible mechanism of T-2-induced cytotoxicity. T-2 strongly reduced the viability of GES-1 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner within a small range of concentrations. However, when the concentrations of T-2 were >40 nM, there was no concentration dependence, only time dependence. Moreover, T-2 induced apoptosis, with the activation of caspase-3 in GES-1 and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) decrease and cytochrome c release. T-2 also resulted in the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and DNA damage with a positive signal of p-H2A.X in GES-1 cells. While T-2 caused a MMP decrease, DNA damage and cell death were not blocked by pretreatment with 3 mM glutathione (GSH), a typical scavenger of ROS. The induction of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) regulators voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC1) and cyclophilin D (CypD) were also observed in T-2-treated cells. Interestingly, cyclosporine A (CsA), a CypD inhibitor, significantly reversed the drop in MMP and the DNA damage, as well as ROS accumulation caused by T-2. Additionally, GES-1 cell death could also be protected to some extent by 4, 4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2, 2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS), an inhibitor of VDAC1, especially the combination of CsA and DIDS, and 3 mM GSH could further enhance the effect of CsA + DIDS on cell viability. In conclusion, our present findings indicate that the T-2 induced MMP decrease, DNA damage and cell death, as well as ROS accumulation in GES-1 cells, starts with T-2 directly perturbing the mitochondria triggering ROS generation by acting on CypD and VDAC1. This study presents a new viewpoint for evaluating the toxicity of T-2 toxin. 相似文献

T-2 toxin was given to rats in three ways: Subcutaneous or intracerebral injection of a solution in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and by implantation of toxin, adsorbed on talc, into various regions of diencephalon and brain stem. The latter method proved to be most effective. Within a few hours after administration of 10–20 g toxin, the animals became restless, ataxic and dyspneic. These early symptoms were followed by depression and immobility. Prior to death, tachypnea and/or convulsions developed. The rats succumbed to implantation of toxin within 1–7 days; no fatalities occurred at later dates. Histologically, the toxin pellets caused necrosis a few days after implantation; at a later stage, the necrotic areas were surrounded by inflammatory infiltrates around small blood vessels. These morphological changes were limited to the application site and were insufficient to explain the lethal effect of intracerebral administration.After intracerebral injections of toxin solutions, the animals died within 24 h. No marked histological changes could be seen after such rapid fatalities. 相似文献

Comparative effects of T-2 toxin and diacetoxyscirpenol on drug metabolizing enzymes in rat tissues 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effects of T-2 toxin and diacetoxyscirpenol on tissue drug-metabolizing enzymes in young male rats were compared. Mycotoxicoses were produced by daily oral administration of toxins at 1.0 mg/kg body weight for 1, 4 or 8 days. Many hepatic, renal and pulmonary oxidative and conjugative enzymes were measured in animals killed 24 hr following the last administration. The effects of the two trichothecene mycotoxins were generally similar. In liver the decrease in microsomal and cytosolic proteins paralleled the decline in total plasma proteins or the increase in plasma GOT activity. Hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450 decreased in rats receiving trichothecenes for 8 days. This effect was more marked when aminopyrine, benzphetamine, ethylmorphine and ethoxycoumarin dealkylations or aniline and benzopyrene hydroxylations were measured. p-nitrophenol glucuronyltransferase activity was enhanced in animals receiving at least one administration of trichothecenes, whereas there was no change in conjugation to glutathione or acetate. In other tissues, there was no change in any renal enzymes whereas a significant rise in pulmonary monooxygenase was observed in T-2 toxin administered to rats for 4 or 8 days. 相似文献

Forty-two analogues and reaction products derived from T-2 toxin or neosolaniol were assayed for their cytotoxicity to cultured mouse lymphoma cells. Structure-activity relationships confirmed the stereospecific nature of the cytotoxic action of T-2. Cytotoxicity was particularly susceptible to changes at C3, C4, C9, and C10 but was relatively unaffected by changes at C8, which appears to represent a region of steric tolerance in the interaction of T-2 with a cellular constituent. The most potent compounds were T-2, diacetoxyscirpenol, and a series of C8 ester analogues 11 and 31-35. 相似文献

An in vitro bovine ear perfusion system was used to examine the effect of T-2 toxin on peripheral vasculature. T-2 toxin caused a dose-related increase in the perfusion pressure, with an apparent threshold concentration of 1 × 10?5m. The effect of the toxin was observed irrespective of the presence of either histamine or norepinephrine in the system. The presence of known histaminic or noradrenergic antagonists did not affect the response to the toxin. Once the vessel was exposed to T-2 toxin, the response to histamine or norepinephrine was decreased. 相似文献

The tricothecene mycotoxin, T-2 toxin interacts differently with mammalian erythrocytes. Pig, man, rabbit, guinea pig, horse, dog, rat, and mouse erythrocytes are all lysed to a varying degree by T-2 toxin. But cow, sheep, goat, buffalo, and deer erythrocytes are all resistant to hemolysis by T-2 toxin. Since erythrocytes from ruminant animals contain little or no phosphatidylcholine, perhaps the presence of phosphatidylcholine in the membrane is required for the hemolytic action of T-2 toxin. Sheep erythrocytes were used to encapsulate T-2 toxin further confirming the resistance of erythrocytes from animals with ruminant physiology to T-2 toxin lysis. 相似文献
