옥수수에 자연 발생하는 F. monliforme MRC 826을 옥수수에 배양하여 배양물에 존재하는 fumonisin $B_{1}$을 정성검사 한 후, 배양물질의 독성 및 발암성을 aflatoxin $B_{1}$과 비교하여 보았다. 독성 시험은 3주령의 Sprague-Dawley(SD) 암컷 랫드 10마리를 각 군당 5마리씩 2개 군으로 나누어 제1군은 시험 군으로 배양물질을 분말사료와 1 : 1로 혼합하여 1주간 급여하였고, 제 2군은 대조군으로 분말사료만을 급여하면서 실험하였다. 시험군은 급여 3~4일경부터 침울해 보였으며, 랫드 1마리당 1주간 평균 사료 섭취량은 24 g이었고, 평균 체중은 18 g 감소하였다. 부검 시 신장의 피막박리가 곤란하였고 조직 검사 결과 간장의 공포변성에 신장 세뇨관 상피세포의 괴사등의 관찰되었다. 발암성 검사 6주령의 SD 수컷 랫드 70마리를 사용하여 중기 발암성 검색법인 diethylnitrosamine-partial hepatectomy (DEN-PH) 모델로 시험하였다. 시험군은 각 군당 14마리씩 총 5개군을 두었으며 실험 0일 때 DEN을 복상내로 투여하였고, 2주후에 제 1군(양성대조군)은 aflatoxin $B_{1}$을 2ppm 농도로 첨가한 사료를, 제4군 옥수수를 5% 농도로 첨가한 사료를, 제 5군은 옥수를 2.5% 농도로 첨가한 사료를 각각 6주간 급여하였다. 실험 3주간에 간 부분 절제술을 시술하였고, 8주간 체중변화, 사료섭취량 음수량을 측정한 후 부검하여 간장은 glutathione S-transferase placental form (GST-P) 면역조직화학적 염색을 실시하였고, 뇌, 뇌하수체, 융선, 폐, 부신, 신장, 심장, 비장, 정낭선, 고환 및 간장 등은 H&E 염색을 하여 병변을 관찰하였다. GST-P 염색결과 5% 배양물질 투여군은 aflatoxin $B_{1}$투여군과 유사하게 GST-P 양성병소의 발현율이 대조군에 비하여 유의성 있는 증가를 보였다. 5% 배양물질 투여군 및 2.5% 배양물질 투여군은 옥수수 투여군에 비하여 증체율의 저하가 관찰되었고, 5% 배양물질 투여군에서 간, 신장, 고환 및 정낭선등의 체중에 대한 상대중량비, 혈액요소질소와 평균 적혈구 혈색소량 등은 옥수수 투여군에 비하여 유의성 있는 변화가 관찰되었다. 이상의 결과들을 종합해 볼 때 F. monliforme MRC 826 배양물질은 랫드의 간과 신장에 독성을 나타내었고, aflatoxin $B_{1}$과 마찬가지로 간암 촉진효과가 있는 것으로 판단되었다.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality of five commercial enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits (A, B, C, D, and E) from different suppliers for detecting aflatoxin $B_1$ ($AFB_1$). $AFB_1$-free corn samples supplemented with different levels of $AFB_1$ (5, 10, and $20{\mu}g/kg$) were used as positive controls and 6 replicates of each control sample were tested to evaluate the accuracy and precision of these kits. In addition, we also evaluated the performance of these ELISA kits for $AFB_1$ in 30 feed samples, including corn, distillers dried grains with soluble, wheat samples, soybean meal, and poultry feed, which were verified by high performance liquid chromatography. Results showed that the coefficients of variation ranged from 1.18% to 16.22% in intra-plate and 2.85% to 18.04% in inter-plate for the determination of $AFB_1$. The half maximal inhibitory concentration for five kits ranged from 3.72 to $7.22{\mu}g/kg$. The quantitation limits of $AFB_1$ were all under the legal limit in China but somewhat inconsistent with kit instructions. Although the recovery rate of four of the five kits were either less than 90% or more than 110%, all these values were acceptable in practice. Two kits had high false positive rates (C and E). In conclusion, our results revealed that the qualities of five tested ELISA kits were significantly different.

Aflatoxin contamination in rice has been documented in a number of studies, and has a high incidence in Asian countries, and as such, there has been a growing interest in alternative biocontrol strategies to address this issue. In this study, 147 strains of yeasts and yeast-like fungi were screened for their potential to produce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) active against Aspergillus flavus strains that produce aflatoxin B₁ (AFB₁). Five strains within four different genera showed greater than 50% growth inhibition of some strains of A. flavus. These were Anthracocystis sp. DMKU-PAL124, Aureobasidium sp. DMKU-PAL120, Aureobasidium sp. DMKU-PAL144, Rhodotorula sp. DMKU-PAL99, and Solicococcus keelungensis DMKU-PAL84. VOCs produced by these microorganisms ranged from 4 to 14 compounds and included alcohols, alkenes, aromatics, esters and furans. The major VOCs produced by the closely related Aureobasidium strains were found to bedistinct. Moreover, 2-phenylethanol was the most abundant compound generated by Aureobasidium sp. DMKU-PAL120, while methyl benzeneacetate was the major compound emitted from Aureobasidium sp. DMKU-PAL144. On the other hand, 2-methyl-1-butanol and 3-methyl-1-butanol were significant compounds produced by the other three genera. These antagonists apparently inhibited A. flavus sporulation and mycelial development. Additionally, the reduction of the AFB1 in the fungal-contaminated rice grains was observed after co-incubation with these VOC-producing strains and ranged from 37.7 ± 8.3% to 60.3 ± 3.4%. Our findings suggest that these same microorganisms are promising biological control agents for use against aflatoxin-producing fungi in rice and other agricultural products.

Aflatoxin $M_1$ ($AFM_1$) after its bioconversion from aflatoxin $B_1$ in animal liver becomes the part of milk while heavy metals get entry into milk and milk products during handling in the supply chain. Aflatoxin $M_1$ and heavy metals being toxic compounds are needed to be monitored continuously to avoid any ailments among consumers of foods contaminated with such toxicants. Thirteen commercially available infant formula milk (IFM) brands available in Pakistani markets were analyzed for the quantitative determination of $AFM_1$ and heavy metals through ELISA and atomic absorption spectrophotometer, respectively. $AFM_1$ was found positive in 53.84% samples while 30.76% samples were found exceeding the maximum EU limit i.e. $0.025 {\mu}g/kg$ for $AFM_1$ in IFM. Heavy metals lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) were found below the detection limits in any of the sample, whereas the concentrations of iron (Fe), zinc (Zn) and nickel (Ni) ranged between 45.40-97.10, 29.72-113.50 and <$0.001-50.90 {\mu}g/kg$, respectively. The concentration of Fe in all the tested brands was found in normal ranges while the concentrations of Zn and Ni were found exceeding the standard norms. Elevated levels of $AFM_1$, Zn and Ni in some of the tested IFM brands indicated that a diet completely based on these IFM brands might pose sever health implications in the most vulnerable community i.e., infants.

곡물 중의 aflatoxin $B_1(AFB_1)$을 검출하는 방법으로서 효소면역측정법(ELISA)의 활용가능성을 평가하기 위하여, ELISA 분석치를 인위적인 오염치 및 자연오염된 시료의 HPLC 분석치와 비교하였다. 분석대상 시료로는 외국산 면실박(19점), 채종박(11점), 대두박(9점), 옥수수(3점) 등위 수입곡물을 사용하였다. 각 곡물별로 작성한 표준곡선으로부터 실제 곡물시료 중 대체로 1-100ng/g 농도의 $AFB_1$분석 가능함을 알 수 있었다. 이를 기준으로하여 표준 $AFB_1$을 인위적으로 오염시킨 시료를 ELISA로 분석 하였을 때, 1 ng/g의 저농도에서는 그 회수율이 높았으나 (평균 265) 3ng/g 이상의 농도에서는 평균 138(68-193)이었으며, 각 분석치의 상대적인 분산도(C.V)는 평균 7.0(0-22)로 매우 양호하였다한편 자연오염된 시료의 ELISA 분석치를 HPLC 분석치와 비교하였을 때, 10ng/g 이하의 시료에서는 특히 채종박의 경우 두 분석치의 간에 차이가 다소 크게 나타났으나, 그 이상의 오염시료에서는 몇몇 예외를 제외하고는 비교적 근사한 수치를 나타내었다. 특히 오염도가 심각한 면실박의 경우 HPLC 분석치에 대한 ELISA 분석치의 비율이 평균 153%로 양호하였다. 따라서 본 효소면역측정법은 10ng/g 이상의 $AFB_1$이 오염된 곡물시료의 분석에 실용화가 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

The methanol extract of aerial part of Angelica keiskei Koidzumi exhibited a strong antimutagenic activity against aflatoxin $B_1\;(AFB_1)$. N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine and 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide in the Ames test with Salmonella typhimurium TA100. Cynaroside, isolated front ethylacetate fraction of the methanol extract Over silica gel, inhibited the mutagenicity of $AFB_1$ with an inhibition value of 96% at 1.0 mg/plate concentration and 87% at 0.5 mg/plate concentration. Other compounds, hyperoside, sucrose and luteolin-7-rutinoside, isolated from ethylactate or n-butanol fraction, also showed antimutagenic effect.

Background: Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a toxic metabolite generated by Aspergillus species and is commonly detected during the processing and storage of food; it is considered a group I carcinogen. The hepatotoxic effects, diseases, and mechanisms induced by AFB1 owing to chronic or acute exposure are well documented; however, there is a lack of research on its effects on the intestine, which is a crucial organ in the digestive process. Dogs are often susceptible to chronic AFB1 exposure owing to lack of variation in their diet, unlike humans, thereby rendering them prone to its effects. Therefore, we investigated the effects of AFB1 on canine small intestinal epithelial primary cells (CSIc). Methods: We treated CSIc with various concentrations of AFB1 (0, 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40, and 80 μM) for 24 h and analyzed cell viability and transepithelial-transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER) value. Additionally, we analyzed the mRNA expression of tight junction-related genes (OCLN, CLDN3, TJP1, and MUC2), antioxidant-related genes (CAT and GPX1), and apoptosis-related genes (BCL2, Bax, and TP53). Results: We found a significant decrease in CSIc viability and TEER values after treatment with AFB1 at concentrations of 20 μM or higher. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis indicated a downregulation of OCLN, CLDN3, and TJP1 in CSIc treated with 20 μM or higher concentrations of AFB1. Additionally, AFB1 treatment downregulated CAT, GPX1, and BCL2. Conclusions: Acute exposure of CSIc to AFB1 induces toxicity, and exposure to AFB1 above a certain threshold compromises the barrier integrity of CSIc.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of aflatoxin $B_1$ ($AFB_1$) alone or mixed function oxidase (MFO)-activated $AFB_1$ on various functions of mule duck peritoneal macrophages. Duck peritoneal macrophages were incubated with $AFB_1$ 0, 5, 10, 20, 50 and $100 {\mu}g/ml$ for 12 h. The cell viability significantly declined as the concentration of $AFB_1$ increased and more obviously detrimental effects was noticed in MFO-metabolized $AFB_1$ treatments. Either in opsonized or unopsonized Candida albicans, phagocytotic ability of macrophages was decreased with the elevation of the concentration of $AFB_1$. Significantly higher levels of macrophages were damaged in MFO-metabolized $AFB_1$ than $AFB_1$ alone in concentrations above $20{\mu}g/ml$. The cytotoxicity activity was in the range of 41 to 33% after exposure to $AFB_1$ 5 to $100{\mu}g/ml$, and a significant higher TNF-like substance secretion by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation was obtained. When LPS was present in the medium, the percentage of cytotoxicity was higher than all treatments of $AFB_1$ both with and without MFO-activation in the absence of LPS. The results suggest that MFO-metabolized $AFB_1$ can alter cell viability and morphology of duck macrophages more than $AFB_1$ administered alone. Both with and without MFOactivation, $AFB_1$ has detrimental effects on phagocytotic ability and TNF-like substance secretion, increasing with level of $AFB_1$.
