Given that Aflatoxin B1 exposure drives 5% to 28% of global hepatocellular carcinoma cases, the critical paucity of effective interventions for Aflatoxin B1-induced liver injury represents an urgent need. Here, we discover that a cereal-derived polyph...

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1)-induced hepatic inflammation poses severe global health burdens with limited interventions. Here, we demonstrated that ferulic acid (FA), a cereal-derived polyphenol, alleviated AFB1 hepatotoxicity by remodeling gut microbiota and activating microbial tryptopha...

Gene expression analysis of A. parasiticus grown under conditions conducive and nonconductive for aflatoxin production was evaluated using glass slide microarrays containing the 753 ESTs. A complex regulatory network governs the biosynthesis of aflatoxin. While several genes involved in aflatoxin ...

Genome wide DNA methylation profiling in infant's blood from a mother/child cohort in The Gambia. The main variables of the analyses were the intra-uterine exposure to aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and the season of conception. The Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation 450k Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methyl...

Aflatoxins are carcinogenic fungal secondary metabolites. Levels of aflatoxins in agricultural commodities are stringently regulated by many countries. A cluster of genes is responsible for aflatoxin biosynthesis by Aspergillus flavus and other closely related species. Expression of the clustered af...
ORGANISM(S): Aspergillus flavus 
The evaluation of the toxicity of Aflatoxin B1 using yeast gene expressions. Two yeast strains; parental BY4743 and PTC1 mutant, were used for this study. SDS was used to raise the penetration of the yeast cell membrane. Two conditions are compared with three replicates each. Both strains were grown...

Susceptibility to the hepatocarcinogen Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) varies among species and with age. Mice are refractory to carcinogenic and toxic effects of AFB1; however, B6C3F1 mice show transient sensitivity if dosed shortly after birth. We compared age-related differences in gene expression and trans...

The molecular mechanisms underlying aflatoxin production have been well-studied in strains of the fungus Aspergillus flavus (A. flavus) under artificial conditions. However, aflatoxin biosynthesis has rarely been studied in natural isolates of A. flavus strains. In the present study, tandem mass tag...

Aspergillus flavus is a pathogen of corn, peanut, and other crops which produces carcinogenic mycotoxins known as aflatoxins. Previous studies have shown that drought stress results in exacerbated aflatoxin production. Drought-associated oxidative stress caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) is su...

The carcinogen aflatoxin is synthesized by a cluster of genes that are regulated by the transcriptional factor, AflR. Most, but not all of these genes, have a consensus binding site for AflR in their 5’ untranslated region. Because aflR resides within the biosynthetic cluster, is has been sugges...
