Toxicity Profile
Route of ExposureNot Available
Mechanism of ToxicityMycotoxins, such as alpha-zearalenol (alpha-ZOL) and beta-zearalenol (beta-ZOL), as contaminants of animal food can impair fertility and can cause abnormal fetal development in farm animals. The addition of alpha- or beta-ZOL (7.5, 15 and 30 microM) to cultures stimulated with FSH (0.01 microg) or forskolin (10 microM) reduced progesterone synthesis and the levels of p450scc and 3beta-HSD transcripts in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). The enzymatic activity of 3beta-HSD and the abundance of p450scc protein were also reduced by these mycotoxins. The effects of mycotoxins on FSH receptor-dependent and receptor-independent pathways indicate that adenylate cyclase activity and/or regulatory pathways further downstream are targets of mycotoxin actions. The apparent dose-dependent reduction of p450scc and 3beta-HSD transcripts implies an effect of alpha- and beta-ZOL on transcriptional regulation of these enzymes. Testing the zearalenone derivatives, _- and _-ZOL, which is metabolised in the liver, as an examination of excretory products indicated a predominance of the _ epimer in pig and man. (1) Generally, alpha-zearalenol possess estrogenic potencies that are approximately 50% compared to that of E2, and their order of estrogenic potency (in both in vitro receptor competitive binding and in vivo induction of Vtg and Zr-proteins levels) is: alpha-zearalenol > beta-zearalenol. It has also been observed that mycotoxin alpha and beta zearalenol influence the apoptosis and proliferation of cultured granulosa cells from equine ovaries. (3) The mechanisms by which _-ZOL or _-ZOL mediates their cytotoxic effects appear to differ according to cell type and the exposed toxins. In evaluating the toxicity of _-ZOL and _-ZOL on RAW264.7 macrophages, _-ZOL not only more strongly reduced the viability of cells than did _-ZOL, but it also induced cell death mainly by apoptosis rather than necrosis. The zearalenone metabolites induced loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), mitochondrial changes in Bcl-2 and Bax proteins, and cytoplasmic release of cytochrome c and apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF). Use of an inhibitor specific to c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), p38 kinase or p53, but not pan-caspase or caspase-8, decreased the toxin-induced generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and also attenuated the _-ZOL- or _-ZOL-induced decrease of cell viability. The activation of p53, JNK or p38 kinase by zearalenone metabolites is the main upstream signal required for the mitochondrial alteration of Bcl-2/Bax signaling pathways and intracellular ROS generation, while MMP loss and nuclear translocation of AIF are the critical downstream events for zearalenone metabolite-mediated apoptosis in macrophages.

Targets

General Function:
Tumor necrosis factor receptor binding
Specific Function:
Signal transducer and transcription activator that mediates cellular responses to interferons (IFNs), cytokine KITLG/SCF and other cytokines and other growth factors. Following type I IFN (IFN-alpha and IFN-beta) binding to cell surface receptors, signaling via protein kinases leads to activation of Jak kinases (TYK2 and JAK1) and to tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT2. The phosphorylated STATs dimerize and associate with ISGF3G/IRF-9 to form a complex termed ISGF3 transcription factor, that enters the nucleus. ISGF3 binds to the IFN stimulated response element (ISRE) to activate the transcription of IFN-stimulated genes (ISG), which drive the cell in an antiviral state. In response to type II IFN (IFN-gamma), STAT1 is tyrosine- and serine-phosphorylated. It then forms a homodimer termed IFN-gamma-activated factor (GAF), migrates into the nucleus and binds to the IFN gamma activated sequence (GAS) to drive the expression of the target genes, inducing a cellular antiviral state. Becomes activated in response to KITLG/SCF and KIT signaling. May mediate cellular responses to activated FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3 and FGFR4.
