Abstract

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a potent nephrotoxin and causes high incidences of renal tumors in rodents. The molecular events leading to tumor formation by OTA are not well defined. Early pathological changes observed in kidneys of rats treated with OTA in vivo include frequent mitotic and abnormally enlarged cells, detachment of tubule cells, and apoptosis within the S3 segment of the proximal tubule, suggesting that OTA may interfere with molecules involved in the regulation of cell division and apoptosis. In this study, treatment of immortalized human kidney epithelial (IHKE) cells with OTA (0-50 microM) resulted in a time- and dose-dependent increase in apoptosis and activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase. At the same time, OTA blocked metaphase/anaphase transition and led to the formation of aberrant mitotic figures and giant cells with abnormally enlarged and/or multiple nuclei, sometimes still connected by chromatin bridges. Immunostaining of the mitotic apparatus using an alpha-tubulin antibody revealed defects in spindle formation. In addition, OTA inhibited microtubule assembly in a concentration-dependent manner in a cell-free, in vitro assay. Interestingly, treatment with OTA also resulted in activation of the transcription...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
