Validation of a Method for Cylindrospermopsin Determination in Vegetables: Application to Real Samples Such as Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.).

TL;DR: The validated method showed good results in terms of sensitivity, precision, accuracy, and robustness for CYN determination in leaf vegetables such as lettuce, and it was successfully applied to quantify CYN in edible lettuce leaves exposed to CYN-contaminated water.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modulation of chromatin remodelling induced by the freshwater cyanotoxin cylindrospermopsin in human intestinal caco-2 cells.

TL;DR: Cylindrospermopsin overexpressed proteins involved in DNA damage repair and transcription, including modifications of nucleosomal histones, which is essential for initiating transcription.
Journal ArticleDOI

Histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis of Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) exposed to cylindrospermopsin and the effectiveness of N-Acetylcysteine to prevent its toxic effects.

TL;DR: NAC can be considered a useful chemoprotectant in the prophylaxis and treatment of CYN-related intoxications in fish, as it reduced the number of immunopositive cases in a dose-dependent way.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of two residues essential for the stringent substrate specificity and active site stability of the prokaryotic l-arginine:glycine amidinotransferase CyrA.

TL;DR: Overall, the results indicated that these two residues are essential for both stringent substrate specificity and the active site stability and flexibility of this unique cyanobacterial enzyme.

Cytotoxic effects of cylindrospermopsin in mitotic and non-mitotic Vicia faba cells.

TL;DR: Cylindrospermopsin induced the formation of double, split and asymmetric preprophase bands (PPBs) in parallel with the alteration of cell division planes, related to the interference of cyanotoxin with protein synthesis, thus it was a plant- and CYN specific alteration.
