Molecules 2023; 28:6617. [PMID: 37764392 PMCID: PMC10534339 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28186617] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2023] [Revised: 09/10/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is considered as the most toxic of the other ochratoxins synthesized by various fungal species belonging to the Aspergillus and Penicillium families. OTA commonly contaminates food and beverages, resulting in animal and human health issues. The toxicity of OTA is known to cause liver damage and is still being researched. However, current findings do not provide clear insights into the toxin mechanism of action. The current studies focusing on the use of potentially protective compounds against the effects of the toxin are insufficient as they are mainly conducted on animals. Further research is required to fill the existing gaps in both fields (namely the exact OTA molecular mechanism and the prevention of its toxicity in the human liver). This review article is a summary of the so far obtained results of studies focusing on the OTA hepatotoxicity, its mode of action, and the known approaches of liver cells protection, which may be the base for expanding other research in near future.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) exposure can result in chronic renal diseases and cancer. The incidence of kidney, renal pelvis, and ureter malignant neoplasms in the Czech Republic is approximately 29.5 renal tumours per 100,000 inhabitants. The question arises whether mycotoxins are also involved in kidney disease and cancer. A sensitive validated analytical methodology, based on an immunoaffinity clean-up followed by HPLC with fluorescence detection, was developed to explore whether OTA accumulates in clear renal cell carcinoma-adenocarcinoma in Czech patients. Simultaneously, DNA-adducts and OTA metabolites were qualitatively analysed in tissues and urine. OTA was analysed in 33 kidney and tumour samples from 26 men and 7 women collected during nephrectomy from patients of the East Bohemian region from 2015 to 2017. OTA was found in 76% of the analysed samples. Its concentrations ranged from not detectable to 390 ng/kg with a median of 167 ng/kg in kidney samples and from not detectable to 430 ng/kg with a median of 122 ng/kg in tumour samples. Urinary OTA metabolites and DNA adducts were qualitatively analysed for the corresponding 20 patients. The presence of some OTA metabolites such as ochratoxin A hydroquinone and/or decarboxylated ochratoxin A hydroquinone correlate with the presence of OTA-DNA adducts.

Abstract
Background: Experimental data show that superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) is involved in ochratoxin (OTA)-induced nephrotoxicity, whereas clinical data indicate the role of SOD2 rs4880 or glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX1) rs1050450 polymorphisms in end-stage renal disease and urothelial carcinoma risk, known to be the major complications of Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN). Therefore, we hypothesized that SOD2 and GPX1 gene polymorphisms would influence the risk of BEN and its associated tumors. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in 207 BEN patients and 86 controls from endemic areas. Results: Individuals with both copies of variant SOD2 allele, known for lower mitochondrial antioxidant protection, are at a significantly higher BEN risk (OR = 2.6, p = 0.021). No association was observed between GPX1 gene polymorphism and BEN risk. Combining SOD2 and GPX1 genotypes did not alter the risk of BEN development. Regarding the risk of urothelial tumors in BEN patients, none of the polymorphisms studied was significantly associated with the risk of these tumors. Conclusions: Polymorphism in SOD2 rs4880 gene affects the risk of BEN development. Hence, SOD2 genotyping could, together with a panel of other enzymes, be used as a biomarker of susceptibility in BEN areas.

Chlorine substitution promotes phenyl radical loss from C8-phenoxy-2'-deoxyguanosine adducts: implications for biomarker identification from chlorophenol exposure. JOURNAL OF MASS SPECTROMETRY : JMS 2015; 50:81-87.

Abstract
Chlorophenols are persistent organic pollutants, which undergo peroxidase-mediated oxidation to afford phenolic radical intermediates that react at the C8-site of 2'-deoxyguanosine (dG) to generate oxygen-linked C8-dG adducts. Such adducts are expected to contribute to chlorophenol toxicity and serve as effective dose biomarkers for chlorophenol exposure. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) was employed to study collision induced dissociation (CID) for a family of such phenolic O-linked C8-dG adducts. Fragmentation of the deprotonated nucleosides demonstrates that an unexpected homolytic cleavage of the ether linkage to release phenyl radicals and a nucleoside distonic ion with m/z 281 competes effectively with commonly observed breakage of the glycosidic bond to release the deprotonated nucleobase. Increased chlorination of the phenyl ring enhances phenyl radical loss. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that Cl-substitution decreases phenyl radical stability but promotes homolytic breakage of the C8-phenyl bond in the C8-dG adduct. The calculations suggest that phenyl radical loss is driven by destabilizing steric (electrostatic repulsion) interactions between the ether oxygen atom and ortho-chlorines on the phenyl ring. The distonic ion at m/z 281 represents a unique dissociation product for deprotonated O-linked C8-dG adducts and may prove useful for selective detection of relevant biomarkers for chlorophenol exposure by tandem mass spectrometry using selective reaction monitoring.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a mycotoxin involved in the development of different types of cancers in rats, mice and humans. A growing number of in vitro and in vivo studies has been collected and has described evidence compatible with a role for oxidative stress in OTA toxicity and carcinogenicity. Because the contribution of the oxidative stress response in the development of cancers is well established, a role in OTA carcinogenicity is plausible. Several studies have been performed to try to counteract the adverse effects of oxygen radicals generated under OTA-exposure. A number of molecules with various antioxidant properties were tested, using in vivo or in vitro models. Protection against OTA-induced DNA damage, lipid peroxidation, as well as cytotoxicity were observed, further confirming the link between OTA toxicity and oxidative damage. These studies demonstrated that antioxidants are able to counteract the deleterious effects of chronic consumption or exposure to OTA and confirmed the potential effectiveness of dietary strategies to counteract OTA toxicity.

Abstract
Phenolic toxins and mutagenic diazoquinones generate C-linked adducts at the C8 site of 2'-deoxyguanosine (dG) through the intermediacy of radical species. We have previously reported the site-specific incorporation of these adducts into oligonucleotides using a postsynthetic palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling strategy [Omumi (2011 ) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 133 , 42 - 50 ]. We report here the structural impact of these lesions within two decanucleotide sequences containing either 5'- and 3'-flanking pyrimidines or purines. In the complementary strands, the base opposite (N) the C-linked adduct was varied to determine the possibility of mismatch stabilization by the modified nucleobases. The resulting adducted duplex structures were characterized using UV thermal denaturation studies, circular dichroism, fluorescence spectroscopy, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The experimental data showed the C-linked adducts to destabilize the duplex when base paired with its normal partner C but to increase duplex stability within a G:G mismatch. The stabilization within the G:G mismatch was sequence dependent, with flanking purine bases playing a key role in the stabilizing influence of the adduct. MD simulations showed no large structural changes to the B form double helix, regardless of the (anti/syn) adduct preference. Consideration of H-bonding and stacking interactions derived from the MD simulations together with the thermal melting data and changes in fluorescent emission of the adducts upon hybridization to the complementary strands implied that the C-linked phenolic adducts preferentially adopt the syn-conformation within both duplexes regardless of the opposite base N. Given that biological outcome in terms of mutagenicity appears to be strongly correlated to the conformational preference of the corresponding N-linked C8-dG adducts, the potential biological implications of phenolic C-linked adducts are discussed.

Abstract
The in vitro and in vivo evidence compatible with a role for oxidative stress in OTA carcinogenicity has been collected and described. Several potential oxido-reduction mechanisms have been identified in the past. More recently, the possibility of a reduction of cellular antioxidant defense has been raised as an indirect source of oxidative stress. Consequences resulting from the production of oxidative stress are observed at different levels. First, OTA exposure has been associated with increased levels of oxidative DNA, lipid, and protein damage. Second, various biological processes known to be mobilized under oxidative stress were shown to be altered by OTA. These effects have been observed in both in vitro and in vivo test systems. In vivo, active doses were often within doses documented to induce renal tumors in rats. In conclusion, the evidence for the induction of an oxidative stress response resulting from OTA exposure can be considered strong. Because the contribution of the oxidative stress response in the development of cancers is well established, a role in OTA carcinogenicity is plausible. Altogether, the data reviewed above support the application of a threshold-based approach to establish safe level of dietary human exposure to OTA.

Abstract
Hydroxamic acids, which are best-known for their metal-chelating properties in biomedical research, have been found to effectively detoxify the carcinogenic polyhalogenated quinoid metabolites of pentachlorophenol and other persistent organic pollutants. However, the chemical mechanism underlying such detoxication is unclear. Here we show that benzohydroxamic acid (BHA) could dramatically accelerate the conversion of the highly toxic tetrachloro-1, 4-benzoquinone (p-chloranil) to the much less toxic 2,5-dichloro-3, 6-dihydroxy-1, 4-benzoquonine (chloranilic acid), with rate accelerations of up to 150,000-fold. In contrast, no enhancing effect was observed with O-methyl BHA. The major reaction product of BHA was isolated and identified as O-phenylcarbamyl benzohydroxamate. On the basis of these data and oxygen-18 isotope-labeling studies, we proposed that suicidal nucleophilic attack coupled with an unexpected double Lossen rearrangement reaction was responsible for this remarkable acceleration of the detoxication reaction. This is the first report of an unusually mild and facile Lossen-type rearrangement, which could take place under normal physiological conditions in two consecutive steps. Our findings may have broad biological and environmental implications for future research on hydroxamic acids and polyhalogenated quinoid carcinogens, which are two important classes of compounds of major biomedical and environmental interest.
