RESUMEN

Kashin-Beck Disease (KBD), an osteoarticular disorder, is potentially influenced by several factors, among which selenium deficiency and HT-2 mycotoxin exposure are considered significant. However, the combined effect of these factors on femoral development remains unclear, Conducted over eight weeks on forty-eight male mice categorized into control, selenium-deficient, and HT-2 toxin-exposed groups, including dual-exposure sets, this study comprehensively monitored body weight, bone metabolism markers, and cellular health. Employing biomechanical analysis, micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), we unearthed a reduction in body weight due to HT-2 toxin alone, with selenium deficiency exacerbating these effects synergistically. Our results unveil that both factors independently affect bone metabolism, yet their confluence leads to a pronounced degradation of bone health parameters, including alterations in calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D levels, alongside marked changes in osteoblast and osteoclast activity and bone cell structures. The notable damage to femoral cortical and trabecular architectures underscores the perilous interplay between dietary selenium absence and HT-2 toxin presence, necessitating a deeper understanding of their separate and joint effects on bone integrity. These discoveries underscore the imperative for a nuanced approach to toxicology research and public health policy, highlighting the pivotal influence of environmental and nutritional factors on skeletal well-being.

RESUMEN

In this study, we conducted a systematic assessment of the effectsof deoxynivalenol (DON) and T-2 mycotoxins (T-2) on the developmental processes and structural integrity of murine femurs, considering both the isolated and synergistic effects of these toxins. To this end, we divided 72 male mice into nine groups, each subjected to varying dosages of T-2, DON, or their combinations. Over a four-week experimental period, meticulous monitoring was undertaken regarding the mice's body weight, biochemical markers of bone formation and resorption, and the activity of relevant cells. To comprehensively evaluate alterations in bone structure, we employed biomechanical analysis, micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), and transmission electron microscopy.Our findings unveiled a significant revelation: the mice exhibited a dose-dependent decrease in body weight upon exposure to individual mycotoxins, while the combined use of these toxins manifested an atypical antagonistic effect. Furthermore, we observed variations in the levels of calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D, as well as adjustments in the activities of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, all intricately linked to the dosage and ratio of the toxins. Alterations in biomechanical properties were also noted to correlate with the dosage and combination of toxins. Analyses via micro-CT and transmission electron microscopy further corroborated the substantial impact of toxin dosage and combinations on both cortical and trabecular bone structures.In summation, our research unequivocally demonstrates the dose- and ratio-dependent detrimental effects of DON and T-2 mycotoxins on the growth and structural integrity of murine femurs. These insights accentuate the importance of a profound understanding of the potential risks these toxins pose to bone health, offering pivotal guidance for future toxicological research and public health preventative strategies.
