✦ Synopsis

Fumonisins are mycotoxins produced by Fusarium verticillioides. The toxic effects of fumonisin B 1 (FB 1 ) at the cellular level consist of a mixture of both necrosis and apoptosis. We studied the effect of FB 1 in human lung fibroblasts (NHLF) and human kidney epithelial cells (RPTEC) in primary culture. Apoptotic and necrotic cell death, collagen and fibronectin secretion were determined mainly after 14 days' exposure. The protein content of NHLF and RPTEC cells was slightly increased after 14 days' exposure to low FB 1 concentrations (0.1 or 1 mM). Caspase-3 activity tended to increase in NHLF and to decrease in RPTEC cells with higher FB 1 concentrations after 14 days' exposure. LDH release was slightly decreased in both cell types after 14 days. Collagen I and III secretion was enhanced in NHLF cells. Collagen III was decreased in RPTEC. Collagen IV was not changed in both cell types. Fibronectin secretion was uninfluenced in RPTEC and interim increased in NHLF. Furthermore LC-MS/MS studies did not give any hints for a metabolism of FB 1 . Therefore, the main risk of prolonged FB 1 exposure seems to be altered collagen secretion pattern.
