Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf 2023; 22:4758-4785. [PMID: 37755064 DOI: 10.1111/1541-4337.13242] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2023] [Revised: 08/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/25/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023]
Abstract
Mycotoxins, which are fungal metabolites, pose a significant global food safety concern by extensively contaminating food and feed, thereby seriously threatening public health and economic development. Many foodborne mycotoxins exhibit potent intestinal toxicity. However, the mechanisms underlying mycotoxin-induced intestinal toxicity are diverse and complex, and effective prevention or treatment methods for this condition have not yet been established in clinical and animal husbandry practices. In recent years, there has been increasing attention to the role of gut microbiota in the occurrence and development of intestinal diseases. Hence, this review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of the intestinal toxicity mechanisms of six common foodborne mycotoxins. It also explores novel toxicity mechanisms through the "key gut microbiota-key metabolites-key targets" axis, utilizing multiomics and precision toxicology studies with a specific focus on gut microbiota. Additionally, we examine the potential beneficial effects of probiotic supplementation on mycotoxin-induced toxicity based on initial gut microbiota-mediated mycotoxicity. This review offers a systematic description of how mycotoxins impact gut microbiota, metabolites, and genes or proteins, providing valuable insights for subsequent toxicity studies of mycotoxins. Furthermore, it lays a theoretical foundation for preventing and treating intestinal toxicity caused by mycotoxins and advancing food safety practices.

Xue D, Cheng Y, Pang T, Kuai Y, An Y, Wu K, Li Y, Lai M, Wang B, Wang S. Sodium butyrate alleviates deoxynivalenol-induced porcine intestinal barrier disruption by promoting mitochondrial homeostasis via PCK2 signaling. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 459:132013. [PMID: 37467604 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.132013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2023] [Revised: 06/26/2023] [Accepted: 07/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/21/2023]
Abstract
Deoxynivalenol (DON) is one of the most plentiful trichothecenes occurring in food and feed, which brings severe health hazards to both animals and humans. This study aims to investigate whether sodium butyrate (NaB) can protect the porcine intestinal barrier from DON exposure through promoting mitochondrial homeostasis. In a 4-week feeding experiment, 28 male piglets were allocated according to a 2 by 2 factorial arrangement of treatments with the main factors including supplementation of DON (< 0.8 vs. 4.0 mg/kg) and NaB (0.0 vs. 2 g/kg) in a corn/soybean-based diet. Dietary NaB supplementation mitigated the damaged mitochondrial morphology within the jejunal mucosa and the disrupted gut epithelial tight junctions irritated by DON. In IPEC-J2 cells, we found efficient recovery of the intestinal epithelial barrier occurred following NaB administration. This intestinal barrier reparation was facilitated by NaB-induced PCK2-mediated glyceroneogenesis and restoration of mitochondrial structure and function. In conclusion, we elucidated a mechanism of PCK2-mediated improvement of mitochondrial function by NaB to repair porcine intestinal barrier disruption during chronic DON exposure. Our findings highlight the promise of NaB for use in protecting against DON-induced gut epithelial tight junction disruption in piglets.

Abstract
Deoxynivalenol (DON) is widely present in grain-based feeds and food. It has attracted great attention due to its high contamination rate and strong toxicity. The objective of this study was to analyse the toxic effects of DON on the liver and kidneys of weaned rabbits. 45 weaned male rabbits were allocated into control, low DON dose (0.5 mg/kg body weight), and high DON dose (1.5 mg/kg body weight) groups. Saline or DON was administrated intragastrically in the empty stomach of rabbits every morning. After 24 days of treatment, liver and kidney samples were collected for histological, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and immunohistochemistry analyses. Haematoxylin eosin staining showed that 0.5 mg/kg BW DON caused mild damage to the liver and kidney morphology, while 1.5 mg/kg body weight DON resulted in hepatic vacuolation and necrosis, as well as tubular stenosis and lesions. Data from qRT-PCR, Western blot, and immunohistochemistry revealed that the mRNA and protein expression and the distribution range of extracellular signal-regulated kinase, p38, and c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase were increased in the liver and kidneys. In conclusion, DON at the tested concentrations damaged the liver and kidneys of rabbits by affecting the expression of key proteins from the mitogen-activated protein kinase signalling pathway. The damage extent was proportional to the amount of DON ingested.
