Abstract
Fumonisin B1 (FB1) is a toxic secondary metabolite produced by the Fusarium molds that can contaminate food and feed. It has been found that FB1 can cause systemic toxicity, including neurotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity and mammalian cytotoxicity. This review addresses the toxicity studies carried out on FB1 and outlines the probable mechanisms underlying its immunotoxicity, reproductive toxicity, joint toxicity, apoptosis, and autophagy. In the present work, the research progress of FB1 detoxification in recent years is reviewed, which provides reference for controlling and reducing the toxicity of FB1.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α antibodies have been shown to reduce liver damage in different models. We investigated the effects of infliximab (a TNF-α antibody) on liver damage in thioacetamide (TAA)-induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Group 1 (n = 8) was the control group. In group 2 (n = 8), the TAA group, the rats received 300 mg/kg intraperitoneal (ip) TAA daily for 2 days. In group 3 (n = 8), the TAA + Infliximab (INF) group, infliximab (5 mg/kg ip daily) was administered 48 hours before the first dose of TAA daily for 2 days and was maintained for 4 consecutive days. In group 4 (n = 8), the INF group, the rats received only ip infliximab (5 mg/kg) daily. Livers were excised for histopathological and biochemical tests (thiobarbituric-acid-reactive substances [TBARS], and myeloperoxidase [MPO]). Serum ammonia, aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), TNF-α, liver TBARS and MPO levels, and liver necrosis and inflammation scores in the TAA group were significantly higher than in the control and INF groups (all p < 0.01). All parameters except AST were not significantly different between TAA and TAA + INF. In conclusion, our results suggest that oxidative stress plays an important role in TAA-induced hepatotoxicity, and infliximab does not improve oxidative liver damage.

Abstract
Fumonisins are mycotoxins produced by the fugus Fusarium verticillioides, a common fungus growing on corn. Fumonisin B(1) (FB(1)) is the most toxic and prevalent fumonisin detected in corn and corn-based foods. It produces species-, gender-specific damage, and is hepatotoxic and nephrotoxic in rodents. Disruption of sphingolipid metabolism resulting from inhibition of ceramide synthase leads to alterations of cell signaling events, particularly tumor necrosis factor (TNF)alpha signal pathways and to the toxic effects of FB(1). It has been reported that FB(1) toxicity involves oxidative stress. S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and methylthioadenosine (MTA), an intermediate metabolite in SAM metabolism, are hepatoprotective by modulating TNFalpha expression and increasing reduced glutathione (GSH) levels. The current study investigated the effects of SAM and MTA on FB(1) hepatotoxicity in C57BL/6N mice. The animals were given SAM or MTA by intraperitoneal injection of 25 mg kg(-1) body weight every 12 h when they received subcutaneous injection of 2.25 mg FB(1) kg(-1) body weight once daily for 5 days. The results showed that neither SAM nor MTA protected FB(1)-induced liver damage indicated by the increases in activities of plasma alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase as well as the number of apoptotic hepatocytes. Both agents prevented an increase of free sphingosine but not sphinganine. Neither SAM nor MTA modified the FB(1)-induced expression of TNFalpha, interleukin (IL)-1alpha or IL-1 receptor antagonist. The decreased GSH in liver following FB(1) treatment was not protected by either agent. The data indicate that SAM and MTA are ineffective in protecting against FB(1) toxic effects.
