Abstract

Bongkrekic acid (BKA), a less well-known foodborne toxin, has been implicated in numerous poisoning incidents. Recent studies suggest that BKA exerts an impact on the immune system, particularly on innate immunity. The release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) is relatively a newly-discovered mechanism involving innate immunity. This study was designed to characterize and evaluate the effects of BKA on human NET formation. The co-localization of DNA, histones, and myeloperoxidase (MPO) was determined via immunostaining to confirm BKA-triggered NET formation in human neutrophils. NET quantification showed that NET formation induced by BKA was both time- and dose-dependent, and was associated with p38, ERK, PAD4 and P2X1 receptor. Moreover, immunostaining analysis observed that BKA triggered both NET formation and autophagy. Additionally, pharmacological experiments revealed that autophagy mediated BKA-triggered NET formation. Collectively, these insights offer a novel perspective on the effects of BKA exposure on host's innate immune response, and may shed new light on BKA poisoning. We call for further work to be conducted in this field to unravel the intricate mechanisms governing NET formation and autophagy in the context of BKA poisoning.

期刊介绍： Toxicology in Vitro publishes original research papers and reviews on the application and use of in vitro systems for assessing or predicting the toxic effects of chemicals and elucidating their mechanisms of action. These in vitro techniques include utilizing cell or tissue cultures, isolated cells, tissue slices, subcellular fractions, transgenic cell cultures, and cells from transgenic organisms, as well as in silico modelling. The Journal will focus on investigations that involve the development and validation of new in vitro methods, e.g. for prediction of toxic effects based on traditional and in silico modelling; on the use of methods in high-throughput toxicology and pharmacology; elucidation of mechanisms of toxic action; the application of genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics in toxicology, as well as on comparative studies that characterise the relationship between in vitro and in vivo findings. The Journal strongly encourages the submission of manuscripts that focus on the development of in vitro methods, their practical applications and regulatory use (e.g. in the areas of food components cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and industrial chemicals). Toxicology in Vitro discourages papers that record reporting on toxicological effects from materials, such as plant extracts or herbal medicines, that have not been chemically characterized.
