RESUMO

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a mycotoxin produced by several species of Aspergillus and Penicillium and commonly detected in a wide range of foodstuffs. The purpose of this work was to monitor the presence of OTA in cheeses and pork meat products. A simple and accurate "dilute and shoot" method with no need of immunoaffinity column and isotopic labeled internal standard, by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, was validated in accordance with the criteria set out in Commission Regulation (EC) No. 401/2006. The method showed good linearity in solvent and in matrix (R2  ≥ 0.995), limit of detection was 0.2 µg/kg for cheese and 0.3 µg/kg for pork meat products, limit of quantification was fixed at 1 µg/kg, and recovery was estimated at two different concentration levels (1 and 5 µg/kg) and ranged from 75% to 101%. The interday and intraday laboratory precisions were lower than 7%. The matrix effect, the recovery of the extraction process, and the overall process efficiency were evaluated. No significant ME was observed in the two matrices considered. This method was applied to the analysis of 75 samples, coming from official controls implemented by the Lazio Region (Central Italy). In one sample of dry-cured ham, the concentration found (69.3 µg/kg) was well above the guidance value recommended by the Italian Ministry of Health (1 µg/kg). These data together with the detection of OTA in three grated cheeses suggest the importance of monitoring these products. Considering the high dietary intake of these matrices, especially among vulnerable populations, further research should be devoted to estimate exposure and risk assessment for OTA.

RESUMO

Rhombomeres (r) contribute to brainstem auditory nuclei during development. Hox genes are determinants of rhombomere-derived fate and neuronal connectivity. Little is known about the contribution of individual rhombomeres and their associated Hox codes to auditory sensorimotor circuitry. Here, we show that r4 contributes to functionally linked sensory and motor components, including the ventral nucleus of lateral lemniscus, posterior ventral cochlear nuclei (VCN), and motor olivocochlear neurons. Assembly of the r4-derived auditory components is involved in sound perception and depends on regulatory interactions between Hoxb1 and Hoxb2. Indeed, in Hoxb1 and Hoxb2 mutant mice the transmission of low-level auditory stimuli is lost, resulting in hearing impairments. On the other hand, Hoxa2 regulates the Rig1 axon guidance receptor and controls contralateral projections from the anterior VCN to the medial nucleus of the trapezoid body, a circuit involved in sound localization. Thus, individual rhombomeres and their associated Hox codes control the assembly of distinct functionally segregated sub-circuits in the developing auditory brainstem.

RESUMO

Methylation of specific lysine residues in histone tails has been proposed to function as a stable epigenetic marker that directs biological functions altering chromatin structure. Recent findings have implicated alteration in heterochromatin formation as a contributing factor in cancer development. In order to verify whether changes in the overall level of H3K4 histone methylation could be involved in oral squamous carcinoma, the levels of H3K4me1, me2 and me3 were measured in oral squamous carcinoma, leukoplakias and normal tissues. The levels of H3K4me2 and me3 were significantly different in oral squamous cell carcinoma in comparison with normal tissue: the level of H3K4me2 was increased while that of H3K4me3 decreased. No significant differences could be found between the two types of tissues in the level of H3K4me1. A similar trend was found in the leukoplakias that appeared more like the pathological than normal tissue. These results support the idea that alteration of chromatin structure could contribute to oncogenic potential.
