| Pinnatoxin G (PnTx-G) is a marine cyclic imine toxin produced by the dinoflagellate Vulcanodinium rugosum, frequently detected in edible shellfish from Ingril Lagoon (France). As other pinnatoxins, to date, no human poisonings ascribed to consumption of PnTx-G contaminated seafood have been reported, despite its potent antagonism at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and its high and fast-acting toxicity after intraperitoneal or oral administration in mice. The hazard characterization of PnTx-G by oral exposure is limited to a single acute toxicity study recording lethality and clinical signs in non-fasted mice treated by gavage or through voluntary food ingestion, which showed differences in PnTx-G toxic potency. Thus, an acute toxicity study was carried... |

| Background: Azaspiracids (AZAs) are marine toxins that are produced by Azadinium and Amphidoma dinoflagellates that can contaminate edible shellfish inducing a foodborne poisoning in humans, which is characterized by gastrointestinal symptoms. Among these, AZA1, -2, and -3 are regulated in the European Union, being the most important in terms of occurrence and toxicity. In vivo studies in mice showed that, in addition to gastrointestinal effects, AZA1 induces liver alterations that are visible as a swollen organ, with the presence of hepatocellular fat droplets and vacuoles. Hence, an in vitro study was carried out to investigate the effects of AZA1, -2, and -3 on liver cells, using human non-tumor IHH hepatocytes. Results: The exposure of IHH cells to... |

| Pour tenter d’apporter des réponses aux questions soulevées par une précédente étude commanditée pour approfondir les connaissances sur Vulcanodinium rugosum, l’organisme producteur de la Pinnatoxine G (PnTX G) (Hess et al., 2012), les objectifs de cette nouvelle étude sont les suivants : - Elargissement de la zone initiale de prélèvement d’Ingril à toute la lagune méditerranéenne et mise à profit de l’augmentation du nombre d’échantillons pour vérifier l’impact de l’effet matrice dans l’analyse LC-SM/MS. - Mise en culture en masse de Vulcanodinium rugosum et - Conduite d’une expérience de contamination in vivo sur des moules pour vérifier l’accumulation de la PnTX-G et comprendre les mécanismes de la métabolisation des PnTXs et de ses composés associés..... |
