  • Objective: The Fusarium mycotoxins of deoxynivalenol (DON) and zerolenone (ZEN) cause health hazards for both humans and farm animals. Therefore, the main intention of this study was to reveal DON and ZEN effects on the mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and other immune related genes in the liver of piglets. Methods: In the present study, 15 six-week-old piglets were randomly assigned to the following three different dietary treatments for 4 weeks: control diet, diet containing 8 mg DON/kg feed, and diet containing 0.8 mg ZEN/kg feed. After 4 weeks, liver samples were collected and sequenced using RNA-Seq to investigate the effects of the mycotoxins on genes and gene networks associated with the immune systems of the piglets. Results: Our analysis identified a total of 249 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), which included 99 upregulated and 150 downregulated genes in both the DON and ZEN dietary treatment groups. After biological pathway analysis, the DEGs were determined to be significantly enriched in gene ontology terms associated with many biological pathways, including immune response and cellular and metabolic processes. Consistent with inflammatory stimulation due to the mycotoxin-contaminated diet, the following Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes pathways, which were related to disease and immune responses, were found to be enriched in the DEGs: allograft rejection pathway, cell adhesion molecules, graft-versus-host disease, autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD), type I diabetes mellitus, human T-cell leukemia lymphoma virus infection, and viral carcinogenesis. Genome-wide expression analysis revealed that DON and ZEN treatments downregulated the expression of the majority of the DEGs that were associated with inflammatory cytokines (interleukin 10 receptor, beta, chemokine [C-X-C motif] ligand 9), proliferation (insulin-like growth factor 1, major facilitator superfamily domain containing 2A, insulin-like growth factor binding protein 2, lipase G, and salt inducible kinase 1), and other immune response networks (paired immunoglobulin-like type 2 receptor beta, Src-like-adaptor-1 [SLA1], SLA3, SLA5, SLA7, claudin 4, nicotinamide N-methyltransferase, thyrotropin-releasing hormone degrading enzyme, ubiquitin D, histone $H_2B$ type 1, and serum amyloid A). Conclusion: In summary, our results demonstrated that high concentrations DON and ZEN disrupt immune-related processes in the liver.

  • 서론 : 갑상선 기능 항진을 보이는 환자를 대상으로 항갑상선제 치료후 재발유무를 예측하거나 정확한 그레이브스병을 진단하기 위해 임상에서는 갑상선자극호르몬 결합악제면 역글로블린을 측정하는데 지금까지 1세대 liquid phase (RIA Precipitate)를 사용하였다. 그 후 예민도가 높아진 다음 세대 측정법이 다양하게 개발되었으며 실제 임상적 유용성이 보고되었다. 따라서 세대별 갑상선자극호르몬 결합억제면역글로블린 측정법 임상적 유용성 검토해 보고자 한다. 실험재료 및 방법 : 2009년 1월에서 3월까지 본원 강남건강증진센터에 내원한 환자 중 TSH, FT4, Microsome Ab 측정값이 정상범위에 드는 30명 (남자 20명, 여자 10명)을 대조군으로 하였다. 마찬가지로 2009년 1월에서 3월까지 본원 내분비내과를 내원한 환자 중 TSH<$0.05\;{\mu}IU/mL$, FT4>1.80 ng/dL인 갑상선기능항진증 진단을 받은 58명 (남자14명, 여자 44명)을 실험군으로 하였다. 측정법은 각 세대별로 1세대에서 3세대까지 각각 2가지종류의 시약을 사용하였으며, 확진 검사로 TS-Ab 검사를 실시하였다. 결과 : 대조군을 대상으로 각 세대별 측정법의 특이도를 확인하였다. (Specificity=100%, n=30) 실험군에서 민감도는 1세대 RSR<%> (79.3%, n=58), 1세대 RSR (51.7%, n=58), 2세대 RSR-CT (93.1%, n=58), 2세대 BRAHMS-CT (98.3%, n=58), 3세대 ELISA (94.6%, n=56), 3세대 ECLIA (97.7%, n=58), TS-Ab<%> (93.5%, n=46)이었다. 결론 : 갑상선자극호르몬 결합억제면역글로블린 측정법의 세대별 검토 결과 TS-Ab(%)를 확진 검사로 기준했을 때 3세대 ECLIA에 대해 2세대 BRAHMS-CT 측정법이 가장 높은 상관성을 보였다($R^2$=0.923). 따라서 기존에 사용했던 1세대 측정법을 대신하여 2세대 측정법을 사용함으로써 보다 정확하고 신속한 결과보고에 유용할 것으로 판단된다.
