Roles of microRNAs in multiple organs under mycotoxin stress by bioinformatic analysis

Mycotoxins are naturally produced by certain fungi and are common food contaminants that endanger human health and well-being worldwide. They have broad implications, including roles in carcinogenesis, which is often fatal. Therefore, identifying new biomarkers of mycotoxin activity and enabling ear...

description Mycotoxins are naturally produced by certain fungi and are common food contaminants that endanger human health and well-being worldwide. They have broad implications, including roles in carcinogenesis, which is often fatal. Therefore, identifying new biomarkers of mycotoxin activity and enabling early diagnosis of mycotoxin-induced diseases is critical. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression and influence different physiological processes, including those involved in heart disease, cancer, and apoptosis. Furthermore, miRNAs are often involved in mycotoxin-induced toxicity and respond to various environmental factors. In this review, we discuss the miRNAs altered in response to important mycotoxins in several organisms, with a focus on the predicted biological roles and targets of miRNAs regulated by two common mycotoxins: aflatoxin B1 and ochratoxin A. This review aims to serve as a resource for researchers and scientists working to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying mycotoxin toxicity and developing targeted interventions to prevent and control mycotoxin-induced damage to various organs.
