Abstract
Marine biotoxins are a heterogenous group of natural toxins, which are able to trigger different types of toxicological responses in animals and humans. Health effects arising from exposure to marine biotoxins are ranging, for example, from gastrointestinal symptoms to neurological effects, depending on the individual toxin(s) ingested. Recent research has shown that the marine biotoxin okadaic acid (OA) can strongly diminish the expression of drug-metabolizing cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes in human liver cells by a mechanism involving proinflammatory signaling. By doing so, OA may interfere with the metabolic barrier function of liver and intestine, and thus alter the toxico- or pharmacokinetic properties of other compounds. Such effects of marine biotoxins on drug and xenobiotic metabolism have, however, not been much in the focus of research yet. In this review, we present the current knowledge on the effects of marine biotoxins on CYP enzymes in mammalian cells. In addition, the role of CYP-regulating nuclear receptors as well as inflammatory signaling in the regulation of CYPs by marine biotoxins is discussed. Strong evidence is available for effects of OA on CYP enzymes, along with information about possible molecular mechanisms. For other marine biotoxins, knowledge on effects on drug metabolism, however, is scarce.

Abstract
An accurate and efficient method was developed for the determination of azaspiracid shellfish toxins (azaspiracids-1, -2, and -3), neurotoxic shellfish toxins (brevetoxins-2 and -3), diarrhetic shellfish toxins (okadaic acid and dinophysistoxins-1 and -2), and the amnesic shellfish toxin (domoic acid) in mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis). Lipophilic marine biotoxins (azaspiracids, brevetoxins, and okadaic acid group) were extracted with 0.5 % acetic acid in methanol under heating at 60°C to improve the extraction efficiency of okadaic acid group toxins and then cleaned up with a C18 solid-phase extraction cartridge. Domoic acid was extracted with 50 % aqueous methanol and then cleaned up with a graphitized carbon solid-phase extraction cartridge. Lipophilic marine biotoxins and domoic acid were quantified by reversed-phase liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. The developed method had insignificant matrix effects for the nine analytes and good recoveries in the range of 79.0 % to 97.6 % at three spiking levels for all analytes except brevetoxin-2 (43.8-49.8 %). The developed method was further validated by analyzing mussel tissue certified reference materials, and good agreement was observed between certified and determined values.

Abstract
This study was designed to investigate the potential neuronal damage mechanism of the okadaic acid (OA) in the brain tissues of zebrafish embryos by evaluating in terms of immunofluorescence of Nf KB, TLR-4, caspase 3, ERK ½, c-FOS and 8-OHdG signaling pathways. We also evaluated body malformations. For this purpose, zebrafish embryos were exposed to 0.5 μg/ml, 1 μg/ml and 2.5 μg/ml of OA for 5 days. After application, FITC/GFP labeled protein-specific antibodies were used in immunofluorescence assay for NfKB, TLR-4, caspase 3, ERK ½, c-FOS and 8-OHdG respectively. The results indicated that OA caused immunofluorescence positivity of NfKB, TLR-4, caspase 3, ERK ½, c-FOS and 8-OHdG in a dose-dependent manner in the brain tissues of zebrafish embryos. Pericardial edema (PE), nutrient sac edema (YSE) and body malformations, tail malformation, short tail and head malformation (BM) were detected in zebrafish embryos. These results suggest that OA induces neuronal damage by affecting the modulation of DNA damage, apoptotic, and inflammatory activities in the brain tissues of zebrafish embryos. The increase in signaling pathways shows that OA can cause damage in the structure and function of brain nerve cells. Our results provide a new basis for the comprehensive assessment of the neural damage of OA and will offer enable us to better understand molecular the mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of OA toxicity.

Abstract
It is still limited that how the microalgal toxin okadaic acid (OA) affects the intestinal microbiota in marine fishes. In the present study, adult marine medaka Oryzias melastigma was exposed to the environmentally relevant concentration of OA (5 μg/L) for 10 days, and then recovered in fresh seawater for 10-days depuration. Analysis of taxonomic composition and diversity of the intestinal microbiota, as well as function prediction analysis and histology observation were carried out in this study. Functional prediction analysis indicated that OA potentially affected the development of colorectal cancer, protein and carbohydrate digestion and absorption functions, and development of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease, which may be associated with changes in Proteobacteria and Firmicutes in marine medaka. Significant increases of C-reactive protein (CRP) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) levels, as well as the changes of histology of intestinal tissue demonstrated that an intestinal inflammation was induced by OA exposure in marine medaka. This study showed that the environmental concentrations of OA could harm to the intestinal microbiota thus threatening the health of marine medaka, which hints that the chemical ecology of microalgal toxins should be paid attention to in future studies.

Abstract
Simultaneous detection of tetrodotoxin (TTX) and okadaic acid (OA) is important for seafood safety. In this work, a novel paper electrode-based near-infrared (NIR) light-responsive photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensor was constructed using Ag2S quantum dots (QDs) and NaYF4: Yb, Er upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) matched with BiOI for the simultaneous detection of TTX and OA in aquatic products. A low-cost, easily prepared gold nanoparticle-functionalized paper-based screen-printed electrode with six channels was designed to immobilize OA and Ab1 of TTX. Correspondingly, PEC signal immunoprobes (BiOI@UCNPs-Ab and Ab2-Ag2S QDs) with NIR-light response were introduced to construct competitive-type and sandwich-type PEC immunosensors for OA and TTX, respectively. Under optimal conditions, the linear ranges for TTX and OA were 0.001-100 and 0.001-80 ng mL-1, respectively, and the detection limits were 5 and 7 pg mL-1, respectively. The proposed sensor was successfully used for the simultaneous analysis of TTX and OA in Nassariidae samples.

Abstract
Okadaic acid (OA) biotoxin acts a well-established inhibitor of protein phosphatase even a tumor promoter of human being, arouse great attention in safety monitoring. However, the powerful and convenient nanosensing technologies for addressing the demands such as rapidity, high sensitivity, and stability in the in-field test of OA shellfish toxin is still scarce. Herein, a high-performance magnetic biometric nanosensor (MBNS) integrating oriented aptamers and ultrasensitive laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) was firstly proposed for the in-field detection of trace OA in seafoods. High-density aptamers hybridized with FAM-labeled cDNA were tethered to the surface of AuNPs on magnetic MIL-101@Fe3O4, and then finely regulated by mercaptohexyl alcohol (MCH) to be orderly assembled, as was successfully utilized to engineer an active biological nanosensor for highly specific recognition of OA. Aptamers anchored on magnetic Fe3O4@MOF@AuNPs activate a biometric microreactor of OA, in which the superior LIF properties, conformation regulation of aptamer, and the specific recognition using aptamer genes were adopted. The magnetic nanosensor with an excellent specificity and super sensitivity for OA analysis was achieved within 20 min. Moreover, the content of captured OA could facilely be recorded by measuring the fluorescence intensity, and the limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation of OA (LOQ) reached 0.015 and 0.050 ng/mL respectively, which was far better than most aptamer-based biometric sensing methods. The feasibility for accurate test of trace OA toxin in the fortified shellfish samples was validated with the recovery yields of 88.2-107.5% and RSD of 0.5-7.6%, respectively. The result demonstrated that the oriented-aptamer encoded MNS had significant practical values in rapid and ultrasensitive detection of OA biotoxin and the related safety applications.

Abstract
Santa Catarina is the main producer state of oysters and mussels in Brazil, reaching 98 % of national production. To assure the safety of bivalve mollusks production, control programs of marine biotoxins (MBs) have been continuously performed. Herein, the co-occurrence of MBs and contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in oyster and mussels from the main production sites of Santa Catarina was reported, covering 178 compounds. Samples of wild and non-cultivated oysters and mussels were also assessed. Chemometric tools were used to evaluate and optimize several sample preparation techniques such as solid-liquid, ultrasound assisted, and pressurized liquid extraction. The optimized protocol was based on ultrasound assisted extraction followed by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. The results showed the incidence of several CECs and MBs. In the case of MBs, all results were below the regulatory limits for both cultivated and non-cultivated samples. Wild mollusks have shown a higher number of compounds. Regarding CECs, the more frequent compounds were caffeine, diclofenac, meloxicam, and sertraline. Domoic acid and okadaic acid were the main toxins detected. The results highlighted the need of monitoring for MBs and the potential of oyster and mussels as sentinel organisms to risk analysis of CECs in coastal regions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first method to describe a simultaneous sample preparation and analysis of CECs and MBs in bivalve mollusks, as well as the first report of meloxicam and florfenicol in mussels and oysters.

Abstract
As an emerging environmental pollutant, nanoplastics (NPs) have attracted wide attention in terms of their impact on the ecological environment and human health. Currently, researches on the cytotoxicity of NPs mainly focus on oxidative stress, damage to the cell membrane and organelles, induction of immune response and genotoxicity. Okadaic acid (OA) is the main component of diarrheal shellfish toxin. Based on the previous combined toxicity exploration of polystyrene (PS) NPs and (OA) to human gastric adenocarcinoma (AGS) cells, cell-derived exosomes were extracted and exosomal miRNA profiles were analyzed for the first time in this study. The results showed that the composition of miRNAs varied after the exposure of NPs and OA. Specifically, the expression of miR-1-3p in both PS-Exo and PS-OA-Exo was significantly reduced. And the expression of miR-1248 was upregulated most significantly by comparing the DE miRNAs between PS-Exo and PS-OA-Exo. MiR-1-3p and miR-1248 may be the key genes for the combined toxicity of NPs and OA. After analysis, we found that both the decreased expression of miR-1-3p and the increased expression of miR-1248 can increase the expression of FN1 and affect DNA replication, which was surprisingly consistent with the results of our previous cytotoxicity studies. Since exosomal miRNAs are selectively encapsulated by donor cell, we speculate that the changes of exosomal miRNAs may due to the synchronous changes of intracellular environment and the downregulation of intracellular FN1 may be attributed to decreased expression of miR-1-3p and increased expression of miR-1248 in donor cells. Accordingly, we come to the conclusion that the changes of miRNAs in the exosomes derived from AGS cells after environmental stimulation could reflect the biological effects of donor cells.

Abstract
A novel three-dimensional covalent organic framework (3D-COF) with content-tunable and active hydroxyl groups (OH) on the pore walls was developed and adopted for the high-performance capture of okadaic acid (OA) marine toxins. Using pore-surface engineering, the integration of linear building blocks (4,4'-diamino-3,3'-biphenyldiol, BD(OH)2 and benzidine, BD) with the 3D structural building block backbone (4,4',4'',4'''-methane-tetrayltetrabenzaldehyde, TFPM) was achieved. By adjusting the ratio of BD(OH)2, functional multicomponent-COFs [OH]x-BD-TFPM COFs (X = 25%) were synthesized, which offered ideal access to convert a conventional COF into a functional platform with multiple-mode interactions of hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups for OA capture. [OH]x-BD-TFPM was characterized using SEM, XRD, FT-IR, and BET. The adsorption features and analytical performance of OA were screened and evaluated. Optimization of dispersive solid-phase extraction using [OH]25-BD-TFPM was accomplished, and the method was verified for sensitive quantitative detection of OA in clam and mussel samples. Coupled with LC-MS/MS, the resultant [OH]25-BD-TFPM COF demonstrated the ability to analyze OA, and the limit of detection for OA in shellfish was determined to be 0.005 μg/kg. A significant improvement in trace OA detection was observed compared to previously reported SPE materials without adjustable hydrophilic interactions. The recoveries of OA in the fortified clam and mussel samples were in the ranges of 93.9‒105.1% and 96.7‒110.2%, respectively. This study highlights that OH-group surface engineering in channel walls is a facile and powerful strategy for developing functional 3D-COFs with multiple interactions for high-performance target capture.

Abstract
Algal toxins are involved in the mortality and/or illness of marine organisms via consumption of contaminated prey, or upon direct exposure to toxic cells. In this study, the presence of potentially toxic microalgal cells was investigated within the digestive tract contents of a threatened species of green turtle (Chelonia mydas). Additionally, lipophilic toxins were determined by LC-MS/MS in tissue samples (liver, stomach and/or intestine) of selected animals (n = 39 individuals) found dead-stranded in southern Brazil, from winter/2015 to autumn/2016. Thirteen potentially toxic species of microalgae (both benthic and planktonic), including seven dinoflagellates, six cyanobacteria and one diatom, were found in the digestive tract contents of green turtles. Among them, dinoflagellates belonging to the Dinophysis acuminata species complex were the most frequent (36%) and abundant (maximum average abundance of 566 cells g-1 in spring/2015). Moreover, 23% of the examined sea turtles exhibited detectable levels of the diarrhetic shellfish toxin okadaic acid (OA) in washed digestive tissues. Seven individuals accumulated OA in their intestines (max. 24.1 ng g-1) and two in the stomachs (max. 7.4 ng g-1). Toxin levels in the tissues were directly and significantly (r = 0.70, p < 0.025) associated with the cell abundance of OA-producing D. acuminata and Prorocentrum lima species complexes within the digestive contents of green turtles. Although OA concentrations were relatively low, possible chronic exposure might deteriorate general health conditions of exposed sea turtles, increasing the risk for diseases. Okadaic acid has been regarded as a tumor-promoting compound and an environmental co-factor in the incidence of fibropapillomatosis, a frequent disease in juvenile green turtles inhabiting this geographic region. Even though, only one green turtle containing OA in the digestive tissues (out of six examined) also presented fibropapillomatosis in this study. Notwithstanding, sea turtles are sentinels of ocean health. Monitoring the accumulation of algal toxins and their negative effects on these organisms contributes to conserving biodiversity and marine habitats.

Abstract
Okadaic acid (OA) is one of the most prevalent marine phycotoxin with complex toxicity, which can lead to toxic symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain, and gastrointestinal discomfort. Studies have shown that the main affected tissue of OA is digestive tract. However, its toxic mechanism is not yet fully understood. In this study, we investigated the changes that occurred in the epithelial microenvironment following OA exposure, including the epithelial barrier and gut bacteria. We found that impaired epithelial cell junctions, mucus layer destruction, cytoskeletal remodeling, and increased bacterial invasion occurred in colon of rats after OA exposure. At the same time, the gut bacteria decreased in the abundance of beneficial bacteria and increased in the abundance of pathogenic bacteria, and there was a significant negative correlation between the abundance of pathogenic bacteria represented by Escherichia/Shigella and animal body weight. Metagenomic analysis inferred that Escherichia coli and Shigella spp. in Escherichia/Shigella may be involved in the process of cytoskeletal remodeling and mucosal layer damage caused by OA. Although more evidence is needed, our results suggest that opportunistic pathogens may be involved in the complex toxicity of OA during OA-induced epithelial barrier damage.

Abstract
Oysters (Crassostrea virginica) were screened for 12 phycotoxins over two years in nearshore waters to collect baseline phycotoxin data and to determine prevalence of phycotoxin co-occurrence in the commercially and ecologically-relevant species. Trace to low concentrations of azaspiracid-1 and -2 (AZA1, AZA2), domoic acid (DA), okadaic acid (OA), and dinophysistoxin-1 (DTX1) were detected, orders of magnitude below seafood safety action levels. Microcystins (MCs), MC-RR and MC-YR, were also found in oysters (maximum: 7.12 μg MC-RR/kg shellfish meat wet weight), warranting consideration of developing action levels for freshwater phycotoxins in marine shellfish. Oysters contained phycotoxins that impair shellfish health: karlotoxin1-1 and 1-3 (KmTx1-1, KmTx1-3), goniodomin A (GDA), and pectenotoxin-2 (PTX2). Co-occurrence of phycotoxins in oysters was common (54%, n = 81). AZAs and DA co-occurred most frequently of the phycotoxins investigated that are a concern for human health (n = 13) and PTX2 and KmTxs co-occurred most frequently amongst the phycotoxins of concern for shellfish health (n = 9). Various harmful algal bloom (HAB) monitoring methods and tools were assessed for their effectiveness at indicating levels of phycotoxins in oysters. These included co-deployed solid phase adsorption toxin tracking (SPATT) devices, toxin levels in particulate organic matter (POM, >1.5 μm) and whole water samples and cell concentrations from water samples as determined by microscopy and quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). The dominant phycotoxin varied between SPATTs and all other phycotoxin sample types, and out of the 11 phycotoxins detected in oysters, only four and seven were detected in POM and whole water respectively, indicating phycotoxin profile mismatch between ecosystem compartments. Nevertheless, there were correlations between DA in oysters and whole water (simple linear regression [LR]: R2 = 0.6, p < 0.0001, n = 40), and PTX2 in oysters and SPATTs (LR: R2 = 0.3, p = 0.001, n = 36), providing additional monitoring tools for these phycotoxins, but oyster samples remain the best overall indicators of seafood safety.

Abstract
Lipophilic marine biotoxins (LMBs) are one of the main risks associated with the consumption of mussels and oysters. Sanitary and analytical control programs are developed to detect the occurrence of these toxins in seafood before they reach toxic levels. To ensure quick results, methods must be easy and fast to perform. In this work, we demonstrated that incurred samples were a viable alternative to validation and internal quality control studies for the analysis of LMBs in bivalve mollusks. These samples were used to optimize, validate, and monitor a simple and fast ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) procedure. An internal quality control material containing okadaic acid (227 ± 46 µg kg-1) was produced and characterized. This material had its homogeneity and stability verified and was included as a quality control in all batches of analytical routine. Besides, a sample pooling protocol for extracts analysis was developed, based on tests for COVID-19. Up to 10 samples could be analyzed simultaneously, reducing the instrumental time of analysis by up to 80%. The UAE and sample pooling approaches were then applied to more than 450 samples, of which at least 100 were positive for the okadaic acid group of toxins.

Abstract
Prorocentrum lima is a widely distributed toxigenic benthic dinoflagellate whose production of diarrhetic shellfish toxins threatens the shellfish industry and seafood safety. Current research primarily assesses the difference between free and post-hydrolysis total toxin methods, ignoring the impact of different detection methods on technical accuracy. After removing matrix interference with SPE extraction, a thorough HRMS strategy was created in this study. Alkaline hydrolysis could release the diol esters and played a crucial role in obtaining an accurate assessment of toxin levels, achieving satisfactory recoveries (74.0-147.0%) and repeatability (relative deviation <12.3%). The HRMS approach evaluated toxin profile variation during the growth of three P. lima strains from China. A total of 24 toxin contents varying in composition, content, and a high proportion were detected. The SHG, HN, and 3XS strains had total toxin contents of 23.3 ± 1.74, 19.8 ± 1.25, and 19.5 ± 1.58 pg cell-1, respectively. The diol esters proportion varied among the strains, with SHG having 58.9-69.9, HN having 75.4-86.5, and 3XS having 91.0-91.7%. The variety of toxins produced by distinct P. lima strains highlighted the significance of this method for appropriately measuring the risks connected with DSTs manufacturing. The proposed approach provides a technical basis for gathering comprehensive and accurate data on the potential risks of P. lima DSTs production, with significant implications for ensuring food safety and preventing harmful toxins from spreading in the marine ecosystem.

Abstract
We developed a highly sensitive fluorescent assay to detect okadaic acid (OA), a prevalent aquatic toxin posing serious health risks. Our approach uses a mismatched duplexed aptamer (DA) immobilized on streptavidin-conjugated magnetic beads (SMBs) to create a DA@SMB complex. In the presence of OA, the cDNA unwinds, hybridizes with a G-rich segment pre-encoding circular template (CT), and undergoes rolling circle amplification (RCA) to produce G-quadruplexes, which are detected using the fluorescent dye thioflavine T (ThT). The method has a LOD of 3.1 × 10-3 ng/mL, a linear range of 0.1 ∼ 1.0 × 103 ng/mL, and was successfully applied to shellfish samples with spiked recoveries of 85.9% ∼ 102.2% and RSD less than 13%. Furthermore, instrumental analysis confirmed the accuracy and reliability of this rapid detection method. Overall, this work represents a significant advancement in the field of rapid aquatic toxin detection and has important implications for public health and safety.

Abstract
The lipophilic okadaic acid (OA)-group toxins produced by some species of Dinophysis spp. and Prorocentrum spp. marine dinoflagellates have been frequently and widely detected in natural seawater environments, e.g. 2.1∼1780 ng/L in Spanish sea and 5.63∼27.29 ng/L in the Yellow Sea of China. The toxicological effects of these toxins dissolved in seawater on marine fish is still unclear. Effects of OA on the embryonic development and 1-month old larvae of marine medaka (Oryzias melastigma) were explored and discussed in this study. Significantly increased mortality and decreased hatching rates occurred for the medaka embryos exposed to OA at 1.0 μg/mL. Diverse malformations including spinal curvature, dysplasia and tail curvature were also observed in the embryos exposed to OA and the heart rates significantly increased at 11 d post fertilization. The 96 h LC50 of OA for 1-month old larvae was calculated at 3.80 μg/mL. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) was significantly accumulated in medaka larvae. Catalase (CAT) enzyme activity was significantly increased in 1-month old larvae. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity significantly increased with a dose-dependent pattern in 1-month old larvae. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were enriched in 11 KEGG pathways with Q value < 0.05 in 1-month old medaka larvae exposed to OA at 0.38 μg/mL for 96 h, which were mainly related to cell division and proliferation, and nervous system. Most of DEGs involved in DNA replication, cell cycle, nucleotide excision repair, oocyte meiosis, and mismatch repair pathways were significantly up-regulated, while most of DEGs involved in synaptic vesicle cycle, glutamatergic synapse, and long-term potentiation pathways were markedly down-regulated. This transcriptome analysis demonstrated that a risk of cancer developing was possibly caused by OA due to DNA damage in marine medaka larvae. In addition, the neurotoxicity of OA was also testified for marine fish, which potentially cause major depressive disorder (MDD) via the up-regulated expression of NOS1 gene. The genotoxicity and neurotoxicity of OA to marine fish should be paid attention to and explored further in the future.

Abstract
Okadaic acid (OA), a lipophilic phycotoxin distributed worldwide, causes diarrheic shellfish poisoning and even leads to tumor formation. Currently, the consumption of contaminated seafood is the most likely cause of chronic OA exposure, but there is a serious lack of relevant data. Here, the Sprague-Dawley rats were exposure to OA by oral administration at 100 µg/kg body weight, and the tissues were collected and analyzed to assess the effect of subchronic OA exposure. The results showed that subchronic OA administration disturbed colonic mucosal integrity and induced colitis. The colonic tight junction proteins were disrupted and the cell cycle of colonic epithelial cells was accelerated. It is inferred that disruption of the colonic tight junction proteins might be related to the development of chronic diarrhea by affecting water and ion transport. Moreover, the accelerated proliferation of colonic epithelial cells indicated that subchronic OA exposure might promote the restitution process of gut barrier or induce tumor promoter activity in rat colon.

Abstract
Okadaic acid (OA) is a type of marine biotoxin produced by some species of dinoflagellates in marine environments. Consumption of shellfish contaminated with OA can cause diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP) in humans with symptoms that typically include abdominal pain, diarrhea and vomiting. In this study, we developed an affinity peptide-based direct competition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (dc-ELISA) for the detection of OA in real samples. The OA-specific peptide was successfully identified via M13 biopanning and a series of peptides were chemically synthesized and characterized their recognition activities. The dc-ELISA system showed good sensitivity and selectivity with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 148.7 ng/mL and a limit of detection (LOD) of 5.41 ng/mL (equivalent, 21.52 ng/g). Moreover, the effectiveness of the developed dc-ELISA was validated using OA-spiked shellfish samples, and the developed dc-ELISA showed a high recovery rate. These results suggest that the affinity peptide-based dc-ELISA can be a promising tool for detecting OA in shellfish samples.

Abstract
PURPOSE Okadaic acid class of tumor promoters are transformed into endogenous protein inhibitors of PP2A, SET, and CIP2A in human cancers. This indicates that inhibition of PP2A activity is a common mechanism of cancer progression in humans. It is important to study the roles of SET and CIP2A vis-à-vis their clinical significance on the basis of new information gathered from a search of PubMed. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The first part of this review introduces the carcinogenic roles of TNF-α and IL-1, which are induced by the okadaic acid class of compounds. The second part describes unique features of SET and CIP2A in cancer progression for several types of human cancer: (1) SET-expressing circulating tumor cells (SET-CTCs) in breast cancer, (2) knockdown of CIP2A and increased PP2A activity in chronic myeloid leukemia, (3) CIP2A and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activity in erlotinib sensitive- and resistant-non-small cell lung cancer, (4) SET antagonist EMQA plus radiation therapy against hepatocellular carcinoma, (5) PP2A inactivation as a common event in colorectal cancer, (6) prostate cancer susceptibility variants, homeobox transcription factor (HOXB13 T) and CIP2A T, and (7) SET inhibitor OP449 for pre-clinical investigation of pancreatic cancer. In the Discussion, the binding complex of SET is briefly introduced, and overexpression of SET and CIP2A proteins is discussed in relation to age-associated chronic inflammation (inflammaging). CONCLUSION This review establishes the concept that inhibition of PP2A activity is a common mechanism of human cancer progression and activation of PP2A activity leads to effective anticancer therapy.

Abstract
Globally around 24 million elderly population are dealing with dementia, and this pathological characteristic is commonly seen in people suffering from Alzheimer's disease (AD). Despite having multiple treatment options that can mitigate AD symptoms, there is an imperative call to advance our understanding of the disease pathogenesis to unfold disease-modifying treatments/therapies. To explore the driving mechanisms of AD development, we stretch out further to study time-dependant changes after Okadaic acid (OKA)-induced AD-like conditions in zebrafish. We evaluated the pharmacodynamics of OKA at two-time points, i.e., after 4-days and 10-days exposure to zebrafish. T-Maze was utilized to observe the learning and cognitive behaviour, and inflammatory gene expressions such as 5-Lox, Gfap, Actin, APP, and Mapt were performed in zebrafish brains. To scoop everything out from the brain tissue, protein profiling was performed using LCMS/MS. Both time course OKA-induced AD models have shown significant memory impairment, as evident from T-Maze. Gene expression studies of both groups have reported an overexpression of 5-Lox, GFAP, Actin, APP, and OKA 10D group has shown remarkable upregulation of Mapt in zebrafish brains. In the case of protein expression, the heatmap suggested an important role of some common proteins identified in both groups, which can be explored further to investigate their mechanism in OKA-induced AD pathology. Presently, the preclinical models available to understand AD-like conditions are not completely understood. Hence, utilizing OKA in the zebrafish model can be of great importance in understanding the pathology of AD progression and as a screening tool for drug discovery.

Abstract
Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is an important Ser/Thr phosphatase that participates in the regulation of multiple cellular processes. This implies that any deficient activity of PP2A is the responsible of severe pathologies. For instance, one of the main histopathological features of Alzheimer's disease is neurofibrillary tangles, which are mainly comprised by hyperphosphorylated forms of tau protein. This altered rate of tau phosphorylation has been correlated with PP2A depression AD patients. With the goal of preventing PP2A inactivation in neurodegeneration scenarios, we have aimed to design, synthesize and evaluate new ligands of PP2A capable of preventing its inhibition. To achieve this goal, the new PP2A ligands present structural similarities with the central fragment C19-C27 of the well-established PP2A inhibitor okadaic acid (OA). Indeed, this central moiety of OA does not exert inhibitory actions. Hence, these compounds lack PP2A-inhibiting structural motifs but, in contrast, compete with PP2A inhibitors, thus recovering phosphatase activity. Proving this hypothesis, most compounds showed a good neuroprotective profile in neurodegeneration models related to PP2A impairment, highlighting derivative 10, named ITH12711, as the most promising one. This compound (1) restored in vitro and cellular PP2A catalytic activity, measured on a phospho-peptide substrate and by western-blot analyses, (2) proved good brain penetration measured by PAMPA, and (3) prevented LPS-induced memory impairment of mice in the object recognition test. Thus, the promising outcomes of the compound 10 validate our rational approach to design new PP2A-activating drugs based on OA central fragment.

Abstract
Post-translational modification (PTM) is crucial for many biological events, such as the modulation of bone metabolism. Phosphorylation and O-GlcNAcylation are two examples of PTMs that can occur at the same site in the protein: serine and threonine residues. This phenomenon may cause crosstalk and possible interactions between the molecules involved. Protein phosphatase 2 A (PP2A) is widely expressed throughout the body and plays a major role in dephosphorylation. At the same location where PP2A acts, O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) can introduce uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) molecules and mediates O-GlcNAc modifications. To examine the effects of PP2A inhibition on OGT localization and expression, osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells were treated with Okadaic Acid (OA), a potent PP2A inhibitor. In the control cells, OGT was strictly localized in the nucleus. However, OGT was observed diffusely in the cytoplasm of the OA-treated cells. This change in localization from the nucleus to the cytoplasm resulted from an increase in mitochondrial OGT expression and translocation of the nucleocytoplasmic isoform. Furthermore, knockdown of PP2A catalytic subunit α isoform (PP2A Cα) significantly affected OGT expression (p < 0.05), and there was a correlation between PP2A Cα and OGT expression (r = 0.93). These results suggested a possible interaction between PP2A and OGT, which strengthens the notion of an interaction between phosphorylation and O-GlcNAcylation.

Abstract
Algae toxins pose a severe threat to human health all over the world. In this study, magnetic metal/nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (M-NCNTs) were facilely synthesized based on one-step carbonization and applied for magnetic solid-phase extraction of okadaic acid (OA) from seawater followed by high performance liquid chromatographic tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) analyses. Differences in the physicochemical properties of the three prepared materials (Fe/Co/Ni-NCNTs) were investigated to confirm the best extraction material. Among them, Ni-NCNTs demonstrated a faster extraction rate (10 min) and higher adsorption capacity (223.5 mg g-1), mainly due to the higher specific surface area, suitable pore structure and more abundant pyridine nitrogen ring. Under the optimal conditions, the calibration curve was linear over the range (1.0-800.0 pg mL-1) with good determination coefficients (R) of 0.9992. The limit of detection (LOD) obtained in multiple replicates was 0.4 pg mL-1. Three seawater samples were measured by the developed method, 12.3 pg mL-1 of OA was detected with a satisfying recovery (88.6%-106.7%) and acceptable repeatability (RSD ≤ 4.8%, n = 6). The results demonstrate that M-NCNTs materials are a promising candidate for magnetic solid-phase extraction. Benefiting from its high extraction and interference resistance, the established analytical method is expected to be extended to detect other marine environmental pollutions.

Abstract
Okadaic acid (OA) is a marine biotoxin that accumulates in seafood and can cause diarrheic shellfish poisoning if consumed. Accordingly, many countries have established regulatory limits for the content of OA in shellfish. At present, methods used for the detection of marine toxins are time-consuming and labor-intensive. In order to realize rapid, simple, and accurate detection of OA, we developed a novel microfluidic immunosensor based on magnetic beads modified with a highly specific and sensitive monoclonal antibody (mAb) against OA that is used in conjunction with smartphone imaging to realize the rapid detection of OA in shellfish. The method achieves on-site detection results within 1 h with an IC50 value of 3.30 ng/mL for OA and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.49 ng/mL. In addition, the analysis of real samples showed that the recoveries for spiked shellfish samples ranged from 84.91% to 95.18%, and the results were confirmed by indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (icELISA), indicating that the method has good accuracy and precision. Furthermore, the results are reported in a specially designed smartphone app. The microfluidic immunosensor has the advantages of simple operation, rapid detection, and high sensitivity, providing a reliable technical solution for detecting OA residues in shellfish.

Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) are widespread in the environment and can be ingested through food, water, and air, posing a threat to human health. In addition, MPs can have a potential combined effect with other toxic compounds. Polystyrene (PS) has been shown to enhance the cytotoxicity of okadaic acid (OA). However, it remains unclear whether this enhancement effect is related to the size of PS particles. In this study, we investigated the mechanism of the combined effect of PS microplastics (PS-MPs) or PS nanoplastics (PS-NPs) and OA on Caco-2 cells. The results indicated that PS-NPs enhanced the cytotoxicity of OA and induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-mediated apoptosis in Caco-2 cells, compared to PS-MPs. Specifically, PS-NPs and OA cause more severe oxidative stress, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, and mitochondrial membrane depolarization. Furthermore, it induced intracellular calcium overload through store-operated channels (SOCs) and activated the PERK/ATF-4/CHOP pathway to cause ER stress. ER stress promoted mitochondrial damage and finally activated the caspase family to induce apoptosis. This study provided an indirect basis for the assessment of the combined toxicity of MPs or NPs with OA.

Abstract
A new marine benthic toxic Prorocentrum species is described from the tropical/subtropical regions of the Atlantic (Colombian Caribbean Sea and Northeast Brazil) and Pacific (Southern Japan) oceans. Morphological cell structures were examined using light (LM) and scanning electron (SEM) microscopy. Prorocentrum porosum sp. nov. was characterized by 35.9-50.2 μm long and 25.4-45.7 μm deep cells, covered by broadly ovoid symmetric thecal plates. The surface of both thecal plates is smooth and covered by randomly scattered kidney-shaped pores (n = 102-149), rounder towards the center, absent in the central part, and surrounded by a conspicuous marginal ring of about 69-92 evenly spaced pores. Broad V-shaped periflagellar area exhibiting flagellar and accessory pores. The molecular phylogenetic position of P. porosum sp. nov. was inferred using partial LSU rRNA gene (rDNA) and rDNA ITS sequences. This new species branched with high support in a Prorocentrum clade including P. caipirignum, P. hoffmannianum and P. cf. lima (P. lima morphotype 5 sensuZhang et al., 2015). Pairwise comparison of ITS1 and ITS2 transcripts with these closest relatives revealed the presence of compensatory base changes (CBCs), with the exception of P. cf. lima (P. lima morphotype 5), which only showed in ITS2 a hemi-CBC (HCBC) and two base changes that possibly induce a structural modification. Toxin analyses performed in two Colombian and Brazilian strains in the present study detected the presence of low amounts of okadaic acid.

Abstract
The diarrhetic shellfish toxins (DSTs) okadaic acid (OA) and its analogues - the dinophysistoxins (DTXs) - are produced by dinoflagellates such as Prorocentrum lima and can bioaccumulate in filter-feeding organisms as they are transferred through the food web. Although there is no assessment of the harmful effects of these toxins on the fish's immune system, this study developed a primary culture protocol for kidney cells from marine fish Centropomus parallelus and evaluated the immunotoxic effects to P. lima extracts containing DSTs. The cells were obtained by mechanical dissociation, segregated with Percoll gradient, and incubated for 24 h at 28 °C in a Leibovitz culture medium supplemented with 2% fetal bovine serum and antibiotics. The exposed cells were evaluated in flow cytometry using the CD54 PE antibody. We obtained >5.0 × 106 viable cells per 1.0 g of tissue that exhibited no cell differentiation. Exposure to 1.2 or 12 ng DST mL-1 stimulated the immune system activation and increased the proportion of activated macrophages and monocytes in 48 to 52% and in 127 to 146%, respectively. The protocol proved to be an alternative tool to assess the immunotoxic effects of DST exposure on fish's anterior kidney cells.

Abstract
Okadaic acid (OA) is a diarrhetic shellfish poison widespread in ocean, so its detection is of great significance to seafood safety. Because of good sensitivity and low cost, biosensors using nucleic-acid aptamers as the recognition molecules are emerging as an important detection tool. However, the traditional SELEX screening method for acquiring OA high-affinity aptamers is time- and resource-intensive. Alternatively, here we developed a de novo design method based on the 3D structure of a target molecule, such as OA. Without experimental screening, this method designs OA aptamers by a computational approach of docking-then-assembling (DTA) of single nucleotides (A, C, G and T) as: (1) determining the high-affinity nucleotide binding sites of the target molecule via saturated molecular docking; (2) assembling the bound nucleotides into binding units to the target molecule; (3) constructing full-length aptamers by introducing stabilizing units to connect these binding units. In this way, five OA aptamers were designed, and microscale thermophoresis (MST) experiments verified that their Kd values are in the range of 100-600 nM; and one of them (named 9CGAT_4_a) could specifically bind to OA with low affinities for the other three marine biotoxins. Therefore, this study provides high-affinity and specific aptamers for the development of OA biosensors, and presents a promising de novo design method applicable to other target molecules.

Abstract
Okadaic acid (OA) is one of the main virulence factors of diarrheal shellfish toxins (DSP), which can cause acute carcinogenic or teratogenic effects after ingestion of contaminated shellfish. Therefore, high-sensitivity and fast detection of OA is a key to preventing the occurrence of safety accidents. In this paper, we effectively established a smartphone-assisted microarray immunosensor combined with an indirect competitive ELISA (iELISA) for quantitative colorimetric detection of OA. To further improve the detection sensitivity and match the smartphone imaging, a novel graphene oxide (GO) composite probe was developed to realize the multi-stage signal amplification. The system exhibited a wide linear range for the detection of OA (0.02-33.6 ng ·mL-1) with low detection limit of 0.02 ng ·mL-1. The recovery of OA in spiked shellfish samples was in the range of 80%-103.5%, which indicates the good applicability of this biosensor. The whole detection system has advantages of simplicity, low cost, high sensitivity and portability, which is expected to be a powerful alternative tool for on-site detecting and early warning of the pollution of marine products.

Abstract
Core-shell structured magnetic covalent-organic frameworks (Fe3O4@TaTp) were facilely synthesized based on one-step functionalization at room temperature and applied for magnetic solid-phase extraction of okadaic acid from seawater and shellfish prior to LC-MS/MS detection. Parameters, including adsorbent amount, extraction time, desorption solution, and desorption time which could affect the extraction efficiency, were respectively investigated. The developed methods demonstrated good linearity (R2 > 0.99), acceptable accuracy and good precision (<15%), and low limit of detection (0.5 pg·mL-1 for seawater and 0.04 µg·kg-1 for shellfish). The amount of the material used (1 mg for seawater and 5 mg for shellfish) and the time required (4 min for seawater and 15 min for shellfish) for extracting analyte from 5 mL of seawater and 2 g of shellfish are both greatly shortened compared with the previous reports. In addition, we successfully applied this method to real sample analysis.

Abstract
Bivalves are considered a main consumed matrix for coastal communities worldwide and classified as hyperaccumulators of pollutants. The present study aims to determine some micro-organisms, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and okadaic acid (OA) levels in Cerastoderma glaucum collected from Temsah Lake, Egypt, and their induction through histopathological damage and caspase-3 protein expression. During the autumn, it was found different types of biological and chemical pollutants, especially benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) that accumulated in C. glaucum soft tissues and exceeded the safety limit for shellfish consumption. Dioxin-like PCB3 was predominant in C. glaucum soft tissues during autumn, but the total levels of PCBs in these tissues have not exceeded the permissible limit. Chlorophyll-a (Chl. a), nutrient concentrations, and Prorocentrum lima dinoflagellates in the water significantly increased during autumn. High P. lima abundance was confirmed by high OA in the soft tissues during this season compared to the other seasons. The measured contaminants may render C. glaucum more susceptible to bacterial and fungal infections. The autumn season showed a significant increase in the colony-forming units (CFU). C. glaucum showed calcification abnormalities and adhering of abnormal brown organic material to the inner surface of the shell valves, which was related to poor water conditions and Vibrio infection. Damages or injuries on gills and digestive gland tissues indicated an impact of the pollutants on C. glaucum. Also, high expressions of caspase-3 were recorded in these tissues during all the seasons. So, C. glaucum cockles, collected from Temsah Lake, may induce serious diseases to consumers, especially when eaten raw or insufficient cooking.

Abstract
In this work, we present a novel dual-emissive fluoroimmunoassay for synchronous monitoring of okadaic acid (OA) and saxitoxin (STX) using multicolor fluorescent labels composed of sulfur, phosphorous co-doped graphene quantum dots (S, P-GQDs), and ovalbumin (OVA)-coated gold nanoparticles (OVA-AuNPs). The novel OVA-AuNPs were prepared by the reduction of chloroauric acid under alkaline conditions using OVA as a reducing agent. Both S, P-GQDs and OVA-AuNPs exhibit bright fluorescence, more importantly, a large emission wavelength difference (Δλ = 156 nm) under an excitation of 400 nm and relatively independent fluorescence behavior, which are essential to realizing the dual-signal marks in a directly mixing system. Using a competitive fluorescence-linked immunosorbent assay (cFLISA) format, the dual-emissive cFLISA was successfully utilized to measure OA and STX contents in Alectryonella plicatula (commonly named as fingerprint oyster) and the detection results were in good agreement with the commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits.

Abstract
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a cancer type of the white blood cells and because of BCR-ABL translocation it results in increased tyrosine kinase activity. For this purpose, dasatinib is the second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor that is used for inhibition of BCR-ABL. Effectively and safetly, dasatinib has been used for imatinib-intolerant/resistant CML patients. Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is the major serine/threonine phosphatase ensuring cellular homeostasis in cells and is associated with many cancer types including leukemias. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of dasatinib and okadaic acid (OA), either alone or in combination, on apoptosis and cell cycle arrest and dasatinib effect on enzyme activity and protein-level changes of PP2A in K562 cell line. The cytotoxic effects of dasatinib were evaluated by WST-1 analysis. Apoptosis was determined by Annexin V and Apo-Direct assays by flow cytometry. Cell cycle arrest analysis was performed for the investigation of the cytostatic effect. We also used OA as a PP2A inhibitor to assess apoptosis and cell cycle arrest changes in case of reducing the level of PP2A. PP2A enyzme activity and protein levels of PP2A were examined by serine/threonine phosphatase assay and Western blot analysis, respectively. Apoptosis was increased with dasatinib and OA combination. Cell cycle arrest was determined especially after OA treatment. The enzyme activity was decreased depending on time after dasatinib application. PP2A regulatory and catalytic subunit protein levels were decreased compared to control. Targeting the PP2A by dasatinib and OA has potential for CML treatment.

Abstract
Okadaic acid (OA) is an important marine lipophilic phycotoxin with various pathological properties, responsible for diarrheal shellfish poisoning events in human beings over the world. However, to date no mechanism can well explain the toxicity and symptom of OA, even diarrhea. Here, to reveal the toxic mechanism of OA to mammals, we analyzed the metabolism of OA in rat and the effects of OA exposure on the composition and function of gut bacteria using a multi-omics strategy and rRNA high-throughput technology. We found that OA exerted great effects on gut bacteria, mainly featured in heavy fluctuation of dominant genera and significant changes in the mapped bacterial function genes, including not only virulence genes of pathogenic bacteria, but also bacterial metabolism genes. In the feces of the OA-exposed group, we detected dinophysistoxin-2 (DTX-2), lespedezaflavanone F and tolytoxin, suggesting that OA could be transformed into other metabolites like DTX-2. Other metabolic biomarkers such as N-Acetyl-a-neuraminic acid, N,N-dihydroxy-L-tyrosine, nalbuphine, and coproporphyrin I and III were also highly correlated with OA content, which made the toxicity of OA more complicated and confusing. Spearman correlation test demonstrated that Bacteroides and Romboutsia were the genera most related to OA transformation, suggesting that Bacteroides and Romboutsia might play a key role in the complicated and confusing toxicity of OA. In this study, we found for the first time that OA may be converted into other metabolites in gut, especially DTX-2. This finding could not only help to reveal the complex toxicity of OA, but also have important significance for clarifying the transportation, metabolism, and environmental fate of OA in the food chain.

Abstract
Lipophilic phycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by phytoplankton. They can accumulate in edible filtering-shellfish and cause human intoxications, particularly gastrointestinal symptoms. Up to now, the in vitro intestinal effects of these toxins have been mainly investigated on simple monolayers of intestinal cells such as the enterocyte-like Caco-2 cell line. Recently, the combination of Caco-2 cells with mucus secreting HT29-MTX cell line has been also used to mimic the complexity of the human intestinal epithelium. Besides, enteric glial cells (EGC) from the enteric nervous system identified in the gut mucosa have been largely shown to be involved in gut functions. Therefore, using a novel model integrating Caco-2 and HT29-MTX cells co-cultured on inserts with EGC seeded in the basolateral compartment, we examined the toxicological effects of two phycotoxins, pectenotoxin-2 (PTX2) and okadaic acid (OA). Cell viability, morphology, barrier integrity, inflammation, barrier crossing, and the response of some specific glial markers were evaluated using a broad set of methodologies. The toxicity of PTX2 was depicted by a slight decrease of viability and integrity as well as a slight increase of inflammation of the Caco-2/HT29-MTX co-cultures. PTX2 induced some modifications of EGC morphology. OA induced IL-8 release and decreased viability and integrity of Caco-2/HT29-MTX cell monolayers. EGC viability was slightly affected by OA. The presence of EGC reinforced barrier integrity and reduced the inflammatory response of the epithelial barrier following OA exposure. The release of GDNF and BDNF gliomediators by EGC could be implicated in the protection observed.

Abstract
Dinophysis is the main dinoflagellate genus responsible for diarrheic shellfish poisoning (DSP) in human consumers of filter feeding bivalves contaminated with lipophilic diarrheic toxins. Species of this genus have a worldwide distribution driven by environmental conditions (temperature, irradiance, salinity, nutrients etc.), and these factors are sensitive to climate change. The D. acuminata-complex may contain several species, including D. sacculus. The latter has been found in estuaries and semi-enclosed areas, water bodies subjected to quick salinity variations and its natural repartition suggests some tolerance to salinity changes. However, the response of strains of D. acuminata-complex (D. cf. sacculus) subjected to salinity stress and the underlying mechanisms have never been studied in the laboratory. Here, a 24 h hypoosmotic (25) and hyperosmotic (42) stress was performed in vitro in a metabolomic study carried out with three cultivated strains of D. cf. sacculus isolated from the French Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts. Growth rate, biovolume and osmolyte (proline, glycine betaine and dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP)) and toxin contents were measured. Osmolyte contents were higher at the highest salinity, but only a significant increase in glycine betaine was observed between the control (35) and the hyperosmotic treatment. Metabolomics revealed significant and strain-dependent differences in metabolite profiles for different salinities. These results, as well as the absence of effects on growth rate, biovolume, okadaic acid (OA) and pectenotoxin (PTXs) cellular contents, suggest that the D. cf. sacculus strains studied are highly tolerant to salinity variations.

Abstract
The consumption of contaminated shellfish with okadaic acid (OA) group of toxins leads to diarrhoeic shellfish poisoning (DSP) characterized by a set of symptoms including nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. These phycotoxins are Ser/Thr phosphatase inhibitors, which produce hyperphosphorylation in cellular proteins. However, this inhibition does not fully explain the symptomatology reported and other targets could be relevant to the toxicity. Previous studies have indicated a feasible involvement of the nervous system. We performed a set of in vivo approaches to elucidate whether neuropeptide Y (NPY), Peptide YY (PYY) or serotonin (5-HT) was implicated in the early OA-induced diarrhoea. Fasted Swiss female mice were administered NPY, PYY(3-36) or cyproheptadine intraperitoneal prior to oral OA treatment (250 µg/kg). A non-significant delay in diarrhoea onset was observed for NPY (107 µg/kg) and PYY(3-36) (1 mg/kg) pre-treatment. On the contrary, the serotonin antagonist cyproheptadine was able to block (10 mg/kg) or delay (0.1 and 1 mg/kg) diarrhoea onset suggesting a role of 5-HT. This is the first report of the possible involvement of serotonin in OA-induced poisoning.

Abstract
We have reported that pseudoginsenoside-F11 (PF11) can significantly improve the cognitive impairments in several Alzheimer's disease (AD) models, but the mechanism has not been fully elucidated. In the present study, the effects of PF11 on AD, in particular the underlying mechanisms related with protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), were investigated in a rat model induced by okadaic acid (OA), a selective inhibitor of PP2A. The results showed that PF11 treatment dose-dependently improved the learning and memory impairments in OA-induced AD rats. PF11 could significantly inhibit OA-induced tau hyperphosphorylation, suppress the activation of glial cells, alleviate neuroinflammation, thus rescue the neuronal and synaptic damage. Further investigation revealed that PF11 could regulate the protein expression of methyl modifying enzymes (leucine carboxyl methyltransferase-1 and protein phosphatase methylesterase-1) in the brain, thus increase methyl-PP2A protein expression and indirectly increase the activity of PP2A. Molecular docking analysis, structural alignment and in vitro results showed that PF11 was similar in the shape and electrostatic field feature to a known activator of PP2A, and could directly bind and activate PP2A. In conclusion, the present data indicate that PF11 can ameliorate OA-induced learning and memory impairment in rats via modulating PP2A.

Abstract
The long-term toxic effects of okadaic acid (OA) in shellfish pose a serious threat to public health, negatively impacting the development of the shellfish aquaculture industry. In this study, a novel competitive near-infrared-mediated photoelectrochemical immunosorbent assay (cNIR-PECIA) was developed for ultrasensitive and highly selective detection of OA based on NaYF4:Yb, Tm upconversion nanophosphors (UCNPs) and a flower-like WO3-modified screen-printed electrode (FL-WO3 SPE). The UCNPs function as a self-powder to convert NIR excitation into visible emissions. FL-WO3 fully utilizes the visible illumination and induces the separation of electron-hole pairs, thus generating a photocurrent. After conjugating monoclonal antibodies against OA on UCNPs (UCNPs-Ab), the bright PEC immunoprobe selectively captured OA molecules, which were then determined by a competitive indirect immunosorbent assay. Under optimal conditions, the 50% inhibitory concentration of the immunosensor was 0.09 ng mL-1. The OA concentration had a linear relationship with the antibody binding rate in the range of 0.01-60 ng mL-1 with an extremely low detection limit of 0.007 ng mL-1. Finally, the proposed cNIR-PECIA was successfully utilized to analyze OA content in mussel samples. This study affords new ideas for constructing NIR PEC sensors by using upconversion luminescent materials to match semiconductors. The superior sensing properties indicate their potential applicability in food safety analysis.

Abstract
Okadaic acid (OA) group are diarrheal shellfish poison that accumulates in the midgut glands of shellfish. It is difficult to remove these poisons by normal cooking because they are thermally stable and hydrophobicity. Therefore, in order to prevent foodborne disease due to shellfish poison, analysis by liquid chromatography (LC)-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) before shipment is necessary. Herein the selective analytical method for OA group in shellfish sample using fluorous derivatization coupled with LC-MS/MS was developed. OA group were derivatized with the fluorous alkylamine reagent by condensing agent, and the obtained derivatives were separated with fluorous LC column (Fluofix-II 120E, 250 × 2.0 mm i.d., 5 μm, Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical). The derivatized OA group were selective retained by fluorous LC column and accurate analysis was enabled. The present method was applied to the analysis of OA and dinophysistoxin-1 (DTX-1) in scallop midgut gland which is the certified reference material provided by national metrology institute of Japan. As a result of analysis using the present method with DTX-2 as the internal standard, the quantitative value were in agreement with the certified value.

Abstract
Prorocentrum lima (CSIRCSMCRI005) was isolated from the coastal seawater of Thonithurai, Tamil Nadu, India. Morphology of the isolate was studied using light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) while phylogenetic analyses of the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS1-5.8s-ITS2), 18S rDNA, and large subunit (LSU) rDNA were also carried out. Growth of the isolate was studied, and okadaic acid (OA) production was examined using liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization and quadrupole time of flight mass spectroscopy (LC-ESI-Q-ToF-MS). Morphological features observed including oval cell shape with a broad middle region, narrow anterior and round posterior end, large central pyrenoid with starch sheath, smooth thecal surface, and V-shaped periflagellar area consisting of eight platelets matched with the description of the type species and those reported elsewhere. The ITS, 18S, and LSU sequence phylogenetic analysis revealed that the isolate was closely related to other strains reported from the pacific. The growth rate (μ) was 0.05 div. day-1. P. lima CSIRCSMCRI005 produced okadaic acid and related esters. The production of free and total OA was 20.12 ± 4.77 and 22.30 fg cell-1, respectively. The findings of this study contribute useful information concerning the regional risk of diarrheic shellfish poisoning in the North East Indian Ocean and the global distribution and toxic potential of Prorocentrum lima. Further studies on the ecophysiology of this strain will be helpful. This manuscript reports the detailed morphological, phylogenetic, and toxicological characterization of this species from the Bay of Bengal and the North Indian Ocean as a whole.

Abstract
In Sardinia (Italy), bivalve molluscs production plays an important role in the trade balance. Diarrhoetic shellfish poisoning (DSP), an intoxication caused by the ingestion of bivalve molluscs that have accumulated high levels of Okadaic acid (OA), may represent a serious risk for the public health and a remarkable economic loss for the producers. Aim of this work was to improve knowledge about the repeatability of OA accumulation phenomena in various seasons trying to understand whether or not there was a trend. Also, the interaction between toxic algae and OA accumulation was examined. In this study, data of lipophilic toxins, water temperature and abundance of DSP-producing microalgal species were collected in a four-year period (2015–2018) in coastal production areas of Sardinia. Several episodes of OA positive values (>160 eq μgAO/Kg pe, Reg 853/04) were recorded during the study period in different production areas of Sardinia and in different seasons. A seasonal repeatability of OA accumulation in molluscs was observed in some production areas; moreover, different temporal gaps between the presence of toxic algae and OA accumulation were reported. Toxicity was observed almost exclusively in Mytilus galloprovincialis Lamark (99%), being this matrix the most abundant species bred in Sardinia.

Abstract
Drug discovery and development for Alzheimer's disease (AD) are complex and challenging due to the higher failure rate in the drug development process. The overproduction and deposition of Aβ senile plaque and intracellular neurofibrillary tangle (NFT) formation are well-recognized diagnostic hallmarks of AD. Numerous transgenic models of Alzheimer's disease have restrictions on cost-effectiveness and time in the preclinical setup. Zebrafish has emerged as an excellent complementary model for neurodegenerative research due to simpler organisms with robust, clearly visible behavior forms. Glutaminergic and cholinergic pathways responsible for learning and memory are present in zebrafish and actively participate in the transmission process. Therefore, it is imperative to study neurotoxic agents' mechanisms that induce dysfunction of memory, learning, and neurons in the zebrafish. This review illustrates the in-depth molecular mechanism of several neurotoxic agents such as okadaic acid, cigarette smoke extract, and metals to produce cognitive deficits or neurodegeneration similar to mammals. These updates would determine an ideal and effective neurotoxic agent for producing AD pathophysiology in the zebrafish brain for preclinical screening.

A freeze-dried mussel tissue-certified reference material (CRM-FDMT1) was prepared containing the marine algal toxin classes azaspiracids, okadaic acid and dinophysistoxins, yessotoxins, pectenotoxins, cyclic imines, and domoic acid. Thus far, only a limited number of analogues in CRM-FDMT1 have been assigned certified values; however, the complete toxin profile is significantly more complex. Liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry was used to profile CRM-FDMT1. Full-scan data was searched against a list of previously reported toxin analogues, and characteristic product ions extracted from all-ion-fragmentation data were used to guide the extent of toxin profiling. A series of targeted and untargeted acquisition MS/MS experiments were then used to collect spectra for analogues. A number of toxins previously reported in the literature but not readily available as standards were tentatively identified including dihydroxy and carboxyhydroxyyessotoxin, azaspiracids-33 and -39, sulfonated pectenotoxin analogues, spirolide variants, and fatty acid acyl esters of okadaic acid and pectenotoxins. Previously unreported toxins were also observed including compounds from the pectenotoxin, azaspiracid, yessotoxin, and spirolide classes. More than one hundred toxin analogues present in CRM-FDMT1 are summarized along with a demonstration of the major acyl ester conjugates of several toxins. Retention index values were assigned for all confirmed or tentatively identified analogues to help with qualitative identification of the broad range of lipophilic toxins present in the material.

Abstract
Published baseline data on biotoxin exposure in cetaceans is sparse but critical for interpreting mortality events as harmful algal blooms increase in frequency and duration. We present the first synthesis of domoic acid (DA), saxitoxin (STX), okadaic acid (OA), and microcystin detections in the feces and urine of stranded and bycaught southern California cetaceans, over an 18 year period (2001-2018), along with corresponding stomach content data. DA was detected in 13 out of 19 cetacean species, most often in harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) (81.8%, n = 22) and long-beaked common dolphins (Delphinus delphis bairdii) (74%, n = 231). Maximum DA concentrations of 324,000 ng/g in feces and 271, 967 ng/ml in urine were observed in D. d. bairdii. DA was detected more frequently and at higher concentrations in male vs. female D. d. bairdii. Higher fecal DA concentrations in D. d. bairdii were associated with a greater proportion of northern anchovy (Engraulis mordax) in the diet, indicating it may be a primary vector of DA. Fecal DA concentrations for D. d. bairdii off Point Conception were greater than those from animals sampled off Los Angeles and San Diego counties, reflecting greater primary productivity and higher Pseudo-nitzschia spp. abundance in that region and a greater abundance of E. mordax in the diet. STX was detected at low levels (fecal max = 7.5 ng/g, urine max = 17 ng/ml) in 3.6% (n = 165) of individuals from 3 out of 11 species. The occurrence of E. mordax in 100% of the 3 examined stomachs suggests this species could be a primary vector of the detected STX. OA was detected in 2.4% of tested individuals (n = 85) at a maximum fecal concentration of 422.8 ng/g. Microcystin was detected in 14.3% (n = 7) of tested individuals with a maximum liver concentration of 96.8 ppb.

Abstract
Harmful algal blooms (HABs), varying in intensity and causative species, have historically occurred throughout the Chesapeake Bay, U.S.; however, phycotoxin data are sparse. The spatiotemporal distribution of phycotoxins was investigated using solid-phase adsorption toxin tracking (SPATT) across 12 shallow, nearshore sites within the lower Chesapeake Bay and Virginia's coastal bays over one year (2017-2018). Eight toxins, azaspiracid-1 (AZA1), azaspiracid-2 (AZA2), microcystin-LR (MC-LR), domoic acid (DA), okadaic acid (OA), dinophysistoxin-1 (DTX1), pectenotoxin-2 (PTX2), and goniodomin A (GDA) were detected in SPATT extracts. Temporally, phycotoxins were always present in the region, with at least one phycotoxin group (i.e., consisting of OA and DTX1) detected at every time point. Co-occurrence of phycotoxins was also common; two or more toxin groups were observed in 76% of the samples analyzed. Toxin maximums: 0.03 ng AZA2/g resin/day, 0.25 ng DA/g resin/day, 15 ng DTX1/g resin/day, 61 ng OA/g resin/day, 72 ng PTX2/g resin/day, and 102,050 ng GDA/g resin/day were seasonal, with peaks occurring in summer and fall. Spatially, the southern tributary and coastal bay regions harbored the highest amount of total phycotoxins on SPATT over the year, and the former contained the greatest diversity of phycotoxins. The novel detection of AZAs in the region, before a causative species has been identified, supports the use of SPATT as an explorative tool in respect to emerging threats. The lack of karlotoxin in SPATT extracts, but detection of Karlodinium veneficum by microscopy, however, emphasizes that this tool should be considered complementary to, but not a replacement for, more traditional HAB management and monitoring methods.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Some harmful algal blooms produce lipophilic marine biotoxins (LMTs) such as okadaic acid (OA; and its analogs dinophysistoxins [DTXs]), yessotoxins (YTXs), pectenotoxins (PTXs), and azaspiracids (AZAs), all of which may accumulate in filter-feeding bivalve mollusks. European health regulations stipulate a limit of 160 μg/kg for OA or DTXs, PTXs, and AZAs and 3.75 mg/kg for YTXs. Argopecten purpuratus is a valuable commercial marine bivalve exploited in Peru. Despite its importance and the periodic reports of the presence of harmful algal blooms in Peruvian coastal waters, information regarding potential contamination of these scallops by LMTs is lacking. We evaluated LMTs in 115 samples of A. purpuratus collected between November 2013 and March 2015 from 18 production areas distributed along the Peruvian coast. The hepatopancreas, which accumulates most of the toxins in the scallop, was analyzed with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to quantify OA in its free form, YTX, AZA-1, and PTX-2. Baseline separation was achieved in 19 min. Linearity (R2 > 0.997), precision (coefficient of variation < 15%), and limits of quantification (0.155 to 0.479 ng/mL) were satisfactory. YTX was found in 72 samples, and PTX-2 was found in 17 samples, but concentrations of both biotoxins were below the regulatory limits. Free OA and AZA-1 were not detected in the scallop samples. This atypical profile (i.e., presence of PTX-2 and absence of OA) may be linked to the presence of the dinoflagellate Dinophysis acuminata. The production of YTX could be associated with the phytoplankton Gonyaulax spinifera and Protoceratium reticulatum. This is the first systematic assessment of the four types of LMTs in shellfish from Peruvian coastal waters. The results suggest low prevalence of LMTs in Peruvian bay scallops but support continued surveillance and analysis of LMTs in Peru. HIGHLIGHTS

Abstract
Spatial and temporal trends of marine harmful algal events in Canada over the last three decades were examined using data from the Harmful Algal Event Database (HAEDAT). This database contains the most complete record of algal blooms, phycotoxins and shellfish harvesting area closures in Canada since 1987. This 30-year review of 593 Canadian HAEDAT records from 1988 to 2017, together with other Canadian data and publications, shows that recurring harmful algal events have been widespread throughout both the Atlantic and Pacific coastal regions. The 367 paralytic shellfish toxin (PST) reports revealed annual and frequent recurrence throughout both the Atlantic and Pacific regions, including multi-year PST events in the Bay of Fundy, the Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Strait of Georgia. The 70 amnesic shellfish toxin (AST) records revealed no recognizable trend, as these events were usually area specific and did not recur annually. The increasing frequency of diarrhetic shellfish toxin (DST) events over the period of this review, in total 59 records, can be at least partially explained by increased sampling effort. Marine species mortalities caused by harmful algae (including diatoms, dictyochophytes, dinoflagellates, and raphidophytes), were a common occurrence in the Pacific region (87 reports), but have been reported much less frequently in the Atlantic region (10 reports). Notable Canadian records contained in HAEDAT include the first detection worldwide of amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP), attributed to the production of domoic acid (an AST) by a diatom (Pseudo-nitzschia multiseries) in Prince Edward Island in 1987. The first proven case of diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP) in Canada and North America was recorded in 1990, and the first closures of shellfish harvesting due to DST (associated with the presence of Dinophysis norvegica) occurred in Nova Scotia in 1992, followed by closures in Newfoundland and Labrador in 1993. In 2008, mass mortalities of fishes, birds and mammals in the St. Lawrence Estuary were caused by Alexandrium catenella and high levels of PST. During 2015, the Pacific coast experienced a large algal bloom that extended from California to Alaska. It resulted in the closure of several shellfish harvesting areas in British Columbia due to AST, produced by Pseudo-nitzschia australis. Data from the Canadian Arctic coast is not included in HAEDAT. However, because of the emerging importance of climate change and increased vessel traffic in the Arctic, information on the occurrence of harmful algal species (pelagic and sympagic = sea ice-associated) in that region was compiled from relevant literature and data. The results suggest that these taxa may be more widespread than previously thought in the Canadian Arctic. Information in HAEDAT was not always robust or complete enough to provide conclusions about temporal trends. Compilation of spatial and temporal information from HAEDAT and other records is nevertheless important for evaluating the potential role of harmful algae as a stressor on Canadian marine ecosystems, and will support the next step: developing a knowledge gap analysis that will establish research priorities for determining their consequences on human and ecosystem health.

Abstract
Low extraction efficiency (60-81%) of okadaic acid (OA) and dinophysistoxin 1 (DTX1) was obtained for 4 out of 5 shellfish species from Washington State (WA), USA, during application of a standard extraction method for determination of lipophilic marine biotoxins by LC-MS/MS as recommended by the European Union Reference Laboratory for Marine Biotoxins (EURLMB). OA and total OA including esters, DTX1, DTX2, and total DTX including esters, azaspiracid 1, 2, and 3 (AZA1, AZA2, and AZA3), pectenotoxin 2 (PTX2), and yessotoxin (YTX) were the toxins examined. Matrix-matched standards prepared from the same control samples used for spike-and-recovery tests were employed to evaluate toxin extraction efficiency and sample clean-up procedures. We adjusted the EURLMB extraction method by either using an acidified methanol extraction or pre-cooking shellfish homogenates at 70 °C for 20 min before EURLMB extraction. Extraction efficiency was improved markedly for OA and DTX1 with both modified methods and for YTX with the pre-cooking step included. However, recoveries were lower for YTX using the acidified methanol extraction and for PTX2 in non-mussel samples with the pre-cooking step. A hexane wash was applied to clean water-diluted non-hydrolyzed samples and a hexane wash was combined with solid-phase extraction for cleaning hydrolyzed samples. Improved sample clean-up, combined with LC-MS/MS adjustments, enabled quantification of U.S. Food and Drug Administration-regulated toxins in five shellfish species from WA with acceptable accuracy using non-matrix matched calibration standards.

Abstract
Marine sediments serve as a sink for environmental pollutants, such as lipophilic marine phycotoxins (LMPs). To reveal the fate of LMPs, we studied their distribution characteristics in sediments. From January 2016 to August 2017, we sampled surface sediments from Jiaozhou Bay (JZB) of the North Yellow Sea, and their solid-phase extracts were analyzed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Three LMPs viz. okadaic acid (OA), dinophysistoxin-1 (DTX1), and pectentoxin-2 (PTX2) were predominant in the sediments. Also, PTX2 distribution was more extensive in the area, while OA and DTX1 were more concentrated. Having the same toxigenic algae origin, the spatial distribution of OA, DTX1, and PTX2 in the sediments was similar.
