S12-01 Epigenetic induced changes and mechanisms of celluoar toxicity- an update on fusariotoxins (Fumonisin B1 and Fusaric acid) and Patulin
Fusariotoxins (Fumonisin B1 and Fusaric acid) and Patulin are foodborne mycotoxins known for their mutagenic, carcinogenic and genotoxic effects. Recent studies have highlighted their ability to induce epigenetic modifications that contribute to organ toxicity.
Fusarium mycotoxins are the most economically important toxins with fumonisin B1 (FB1) being the most toxic and fusaric acid (FA), a neglected toxin, regarded as mildly toxic. FB1 inhibits sphingolipid biosynthesis and modifies cell survival and cell death processes, whilst FA was shown to be a hypotensive agent, altered brain neurochemistry and a putative putative mitochondrial toxin. Both these toxins alter the host epigenome that can lead to adverse health outcomes. FB1 alters the epigenetic landscape by modulating DNA methylation and histone modifications which can lead to chromatin instability and carcinogenesis. FB1 increases H3K4Me3 at the PTEN promoter, enhancing its transcription but inhibiting its translation via miR-30c, thereby activating the PI3K/AKT pathway and impairing DNA damage checkpoint regulation.
FA triggers global DNA hypomethylation, upregulates miR-29b and increases expression of MBD2. FA affects histone modifications by reducing levels of H3K9me3, which disrupts genome instability and induces apoptosis Patulin (Pat), produced by Penicllium species, induces epigenetic changes that can lead to kidney injury. Pat disrupts α-1 and α-2 adrenergic receptor signalling pathways and alters DNA methylation patterns; it upregulates DNMT1 and MBD2 (demethylase) that results in DNA hypomethylation. These epigenetic modifications influence gene expression and contributes to adverse health effects.
Epigenetic modifications have been implicated in various human diseases, including carcinogenesis. FB1, FA and Pat induced epigenetic changes in in vitro, animal models and humans. Our data showed that FA was genotoxic and post-translationally modified p53 and m6A RNA methylation. FB1 induced global DNA hypomethylation, modulated miR27b expression and apoptosis; and contributed to an additional mode of neoplastic transformation. Further, FB1 was immunolocalised in human brain tumour tissue samples (49/76), with many patients having matched high serum FB1 levels.
In conclusion, the results show that that these three mycotoxins alter the epigenetic landscape and contribute to disease.
