Abstract
The spectral database-based mass spectrometry (MS) matching strategy is versatile for structural annotating in ingredient fluctuation profiling mediated by external interferences. However, the systematic variability of MS pool attributable to aliasing peaks and inadequacy of present spectral database resulted in a substantial metabolic feature depletion. An amended procedure termed multiple-charges overlap peaks extraction algorithm (MCOP) was proposed involving identifying collision-trigged dissociation precursor ions through iteratively matching mass features of fragmentations to expand the spectral reference library. We showcased the versatility and utility of established strategy in an investigation centered on the stimulation of milk mediated by diphenylolpropane (BPA). MCOP enabled efficient unknown annotations at metabolite-lipid-protein level, which elevated the accuracy of substance annotation to 85.3% after manual validation. Arginase and α-amylase (|r| > 0.75, p < 0.05) were first identified as the crucial issues via graph neural network-based virtual screening in the abnormal metabolism of urea triggered by BPA, resulting in the accumulation of arginine (original: 1.7 μg kg-1 1.7 times) and maltodextrin (original: 6.9 μg kg-1 2.9 times) and thus, exciting the potential dietary risks. Conclusively, MCOP demonstrated generalisation and scalability and substantially advanced the discovery of unknown metabolites for complex matrix samples, thus deciphering dark matter in multi-omics.

Abstract
Dietary deficiency of selenium is a global health hazard. Supplementation of organic selenopeptides via food crops is a relatively safe approach. Selenopeptides with heterogeneous selenium-encoded isotopes or a poorly fragmented peptide backbone remain unidentified in site-specific selenoproteomic analysis. Herein, we developed the Se-Pair Search, a UniProtKB-FASTA-independent peptide-matching strategy, exploiting the fragmentation patterns of shared peptide backbones in selenopeptides to optimize spectral interpretation, along with developing new selenosite assignment schemes (steps 1-3) to standardize selenium-localization data reporting for the selenoproteome community and thereby facilitating the discovery of unexpected selenopeptides. Using selenium-biofortified rice under cooking, fermentation, and high-temperature and high-pressure processing conditions as a pyrolysis-thermolysis dietary model, we probed the single-molecule-level kinetic evolution of the novel selenopeptide "KKSe(M)R" with qual-quantitative information on graph-theory-oriented localization calculations, abundance patterns, activation energy, and rate constants at a selenoproteome-wide scale. We ground-truth-annotated thirteen pyrolysis-thermolysis products and inferred four pyrolysis-thermolysis pathways to characterize the formation reactivity of the main intermediate variables of KKSe(M)R and constructed an advanced probe-type ultrasound technique prior to pyrolysis-thermolysis conditions for minimizing loss of KKSe(M)R during processing. Importantly, we reveal the unappreciated pyro-excitation diversion of KKSe(M)R at pyrolysis-thermolysis time and temperature matrices. These findings provide pioneering theoretical guidance for controlling dietary selenium supplementation within the safety thresholds.

PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2024; 80:1895-1903. [PMID: 38053437 DOI: 10.1002/ps.7920] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2023] [Revised: 11/25/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 12/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gnomoniopsis smithogilvyi is the major chestnut pathogen, responsible for economic losses and recently described as a 3-nitropropionic acid and diplodiatoxin mycotoxin producer. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens QST 713 (Serenade® ASO), B. amyloliquefaciens CIMO-BCA1, and the fungicide Horizon® (tebuconazole) have been shown to reduce the growth of G. smithogilvyi. However, they enhanced mycotoxin production. Proteomics can clarify the mould's physiology and the impact of antifungal agents on the mould's metabolism. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the impact of Horizon®, Serenade®, and B. amyloliquefaciens CIMO-BCA1 in the proteome of G. smithogilvyi to unveil their modes of action and decipher why the mould responds by increasing the mycotoxin production. For this, the mycelium close to the inhibition zone provoked by antifungals was macroscopically and microscopically observed. Proteins were extracted and analysed using a Q-Exactive plus Orbitrap. RESULTS The results did not elucidate specific proteins involved in the mycotoxin biosynthesis, but these agents provoked different kinds of stress on the mould, mainly affecting the cell wall structures and antioxidant response, which points to the mycotoxins overproduction as a defence mechanism. The biocontrol agent CIMO-BCA1 acts similar to tebuconazole. The results revealed different responses on the mould's metabolism when co-cultured with the two B. amyloliquefaciens, showing different modes of action of each bacterium, which opens the possibility of combining both biocontrol strategies. CONCLUSION These results unveil different modes of action of the treatments that could help to reduce the use of toxic chemicals to combat plant pathogens worldwide. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Removal of aflatoxin B 1 from contaminated milk and water by nitrogen/carbon-enriched cobalt ferrite -chitosan nanosphere: RSM optimization, kinetic, and thermodynamic perspectives. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 256:127863. [PMID: 37952803 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127863] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2023] [Revised: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/01/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023]
Abstract
In view of the feed/foods inevitably contaminated by toxic and carcinogenic aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), efficient mesoporous metformin-chitosan/silica‑cobalt ferrite nanospheres (Mt-CS/CFS NSs) was prepared to remove AFB1 from aqueous/non-aqueous media. The morphological, functional, and structural characteristics and adsorption properties of C/N-enriched CS/CFS were investigated systematically. The interactive operating variables (temperature (5.0-35 °C); time (10-100 min); AFB1 dose (50-100 μg/mL); and Mt-CS/CFS dosage (0.5-3.5 mg) were optimized via the Box-Behnken design (BBD), which demonstrated good agreement between the experimental data and proposed model. The adsorption efficiency in artificially contaminated cow's milk as well as aqueous environment reached over 91.0 % in a wide pH range (3.0-9.0), without significant change in the nutritional value of milk. Freundlich isotherm and second-order adsorption kinetics were regarded as the most suitable models to fit the adsorption results, and the adsorption rate is dominated by the intra-particle diffusion and boundary layer diffusion. Thermodynamic analyses proved that the process was spontaneous and exothermic. The adsorption mechanism could be explained as physisorption via hydrogen bonding, n-π interaction, and hydrophobic/hydrophilic interactions. The porous Mt-CS/CFS NS derived from chitosan nanoparticles is therefore outstanding adsorbent, offering great adsorptive performance and recycabilities, which impedes economic losses in the food industry.

Abstract
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a major food and feed pollutant that endangers public health. Previous studies have shown that exposure to AFB1 causes neurotoxicity in the body. However, the mechanism of neurotoxicity caused by AFB1 is not well understood, and finding a workable and practical method to safeguard animals from AFB1 toxicity is essential. This study confirmed that AFB1 caused endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress) and apoptosis in hippocampal neurons using C57BL/6 J mice and HT22 cells as models. In vitro experiments showed that the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) plays a significant role in the cytotoxicity of AFB1. Finally, we assessed how hesperetin protecting against the neurotoxicity caused by AFB1. Our findings demonstrated that AFB1 increased the levels of BAX and Cleaved-Caspase3 proteins, while decreasing the levels of BCL2 protein in the CA1 and CA3 regions of the hippocampus. The AFB1 increased the expression of AHR and activated nuclear translocation. It also elevated the expression levels of Chop, GRP78, p-IRE1/ Xbp1s, and p-PERK/p-EIF2a. Importantly, we also discovered for the first time that blocking AHR in HT22 cells dramatically reduced the level of ER stress and apoptosis caused by AFB1. In vivo and in vitro studies, supplementation of hesperetin effectively reversed AFB1-induced cytotoxicity. We have demonstrated that hesperetin effectively restored the imbalance in the GSH/GST system in HT22 cells treated with AFB1. Furthermore, we observed that elevated GSH levels facilitated the formation of AFB1-GSH complexes, which enhanced the excretion of AFB1. Therefore, hesperetin improves ER stress-induced apoptosis by reducing AFB1 activation of AHR.

Adsorptive removal of aflatoxin B 1 from water and edible oil by dopamine-grafted biomass chitosan-iron-cobalt spinel oxide nanocomposite: mechanism, kinetics, equilibrium, thermodynamics, and oil quality. RSC Adv 2023; 13:34739-34754.

Abstract
Currently, the use of magnetic physical adsorbents for detoxification is widely applied in the food industry; however, the fabrication of high-efficiency low-cost absorbents without damaging the nutritional quality of food is a major challenge. Herein, a simple, green, efficient, and cost-effective method for the magnetic solid-phase extraction of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) from edible oils and aqueous matrices was developed using a dopamine-loaded biomass chitosan-iron-cobalt spinel oxide nanocomposite (DC/CFOS NC). The characterization, physicochemical processes, mechanism, and reusability of DC/CFOS were systematically evaluated in detail. It was found that the adsorption characteristic of DC/CFOS NC was accurately represented by the pseudo-second-order kinetics (k2 = 0.199 g mg-1 min-1) and Freundlich isotherm models (Kf = 1.139 (mg g-1) (L mg-1), R2 = 0.991)), and its adsorptive process is feasible, spontaneous, and exothermic. Benefiting from its high specific surface area, microporous structure, and polar/non-polar active sites, the as-prepared DC/CFOS exhibited an excellent adsorption performance for AFB1 (50.0 μg mL-1), as measured using the Freundlich isotherm model. The mechanistic studies demonstrated that the synergistic effects of the surface complexation and electrostatic interactions between the functional groups of DC/CFOS NC and AFB1 were the dominant adsorption pathways. Besides, DC/CFOS exhibited negligible impacts on the nutritional quality of the oil after the removal process and storage. Thus, DC/CFOS NC showed sufficient efficacy and safety in the removal of AFB1 from contaminated edible oil.
