Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The aneuploidogenic and clastogenic potentials of the mycotoxins citrinin (CIT) and patulin (PAT) were studied by determining inhibition of microtubule assembly under cell-free conditions and by measuring induction of mitotic arrest and micronuclei in cultured Chinese hamster V79 cells. Both CIT and PAT inhibited cell-free microtubule polymerization in a concentration-dependent manner. PAT, but not CIT, bound covalently to reactive thiol groups of microtubule proteins. At concentrations without gross cytotoxicity, mitotic arrest and CREST-positive micronuclei, i.e. micronuclei containing whole chromosomes/chromatids, were induced by CIT and PAT in V79 cells. The time course of micronucleus induction and positive CREST staining indicate the aneuploidogenic potential of CIT and PAT. CREST-negative micronuclei, i.e. micronuclei containing acentric chromosomal fragments, were induced by PAT but not by CIT, implying a clastogenic potential of PAT. The aneuploidogenic and clastogenic potential of PAT and the aneuploidogenic potential of CIT may well contribute to the putative carcinogenicity of these mycotoxins in long-term animal studies.
