Application Notes

T2 toxin is a Type A trichothecene mycotoxin found grains infected with Fusarium sp. causing toxic effects in livestock, particularly poultry. T2 toxin possesses an unusual 12,13-epoxytrichothecene-9-ene ring structure that is responsible for its toxicity. T2 toxin is cytotoxic to Vero cells in vitro causing induction of lipid peroxidation, inhibiting protein synthesis and causing​ DNA fragmentation and caspase-​3-​dependent apoptosis. In neuroblastoma cells, T2 toxin inhibits the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway leading to the generation of reactive oxygen species and mitochondrial dysfuntion. T2 toxin has a broad toxicological profile, having nephrotoxic, immunosuppressive and teratogenic effects.
