Deoxynivalenol (DON) is an inevitable contaminant in cereals for infants. Indeed, children's growth retardation caused by widespread DON pollution has become a global problem that cannot be ignored. Accumulating evidence has shown that DON stunts growth in children through pro-inflammatory cytokines. An exogenous increase of methylnicotinamide, a metabolite produced by nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), has anti-inflammatory effects, but it is not clear whether NNMT has the same effect, and the role of NNMT in DON-induced inflammation and growth impairment remains indistinct. The present research reports that NNMT is an inflammatory self-protective factor in DON-exposed L02 cells. DON promoted the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, DON increased NNMT to reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-11 and IL-6, and thus increased IGF-1 and cell viability, alleviating the cell growth inhibition induced by DON. Interestingly, NNMT negatively regulated the expression of IL-1β through Sirtuin type 1 (SIRT1). Collectively, these findings provide new mechanistic insights into the toxicity of DON-induced growth retardation and inflammatory responses in children.
脱氧雪腐镰刀菌烯醇(DON)是婴幼儿谷物中不可避免的污染物。事实上,由于广泛的 DON 污染导致儿童生长迟缓,这已成为一个不容忽视的全球性问题。越来越多的证据表明,DON 通过促炎细胞因子阻碍儿童生长。烟酰胺 N-甲基转移酶(NNMT)产生的代谢物甲基烟酰胺的外源性增加具有抗炎作用,但尚不清楚 NNMT 是否具有相同的作用,NNMT 在 DON 诱导的炎症和生长损伤中的作用仍不清楚。本研究报告称,NNMT 是 DON 暴露的 L02 细胞中的一种炎症自我保护因子。DON 促进了促炎细胞因子的产生。此外,DON 增加了 NNMT 以减少促炎细胞因子,包括白细胞介素(IL)-1β、IL-11 和 IL-6,从而增加 IGF-1 和细胞活力,减轻 DON 诱导的细胞生长抑制。有趣的是,NNMT 通过 Sirtuin type 1(SIRT1)负调控 IL-1β 的表达。总之,这些发现为 DON 诱导的儿童生长迟缓和炎症反应的毒性提供了新的机制见解。
