Individual and combined cytotoxic effects of T-2 toxin and its four metabolites on porcine Leydig cells
Abstract
T-2 toxin, one of the most toxic mycotoxins, is commonly presented along with its metabolites, HT-2 toxin, neosolaniol (NEO), T-2 triol, and T-2 tetraol in foodstuff and feed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxic effects of T-2 toxin alone and in combination with its metabolites on porcine Leydig cells. Based on the determination of cell viability with CCK-8, toxicological interactions were investigated using Combination Index method. The cytotoxic potency of five tested mycotoxins individual and their mixtures all showed with a dose-dependent manner. In view of IC50 values, the decreasing cytotoxicity of mycotoxins was ranking: T-2 toxin > HT-2 toxin > T-2 triol > NEO > T-2 tetraol. Combinations of T-2+HT-2, T-2+NEO, and HT-2+NEO displayed synergism at low doses but antagonism at high doses, while the ternary combination of T-2+HT-2+NEO revealed adverse situation from antagonism to synergism. All binary and ternary combinations of T-2 toxin, T-2 triol, and T-2 tetraol exhibited antagonistic interactions. Our results suggest that the co-occurrence of T-2 toxin and its metabolites might pose a slight threat to reproductive health due to antagonistic interactions. However, the synergy observed should be not ignored especially at low doses of mycotoxins co-occurrence in the diet.
