Aflatoxin B1 is a very potent carcinogen produced by Aspergillus flavus and related fungi that grow on improperly stored food such as corn, rice, and peanuts. Dietary exposure to aflatoxin B1 is associated with an increased incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma, especially given co-infection with hepatitis B virus. Mechanism of carcinogenicity involves metabolic activation to aflatoxin B1-8,9 exo-epoxide by cytochrome p450 and formation of adducts with guanine DNA base.

Originator

Curator's Comment: Aflatoxin B1 was first isolated and characterized by Tropical Products Institute (UK) in 1963

In Vitro Use Guide
Bronchial and colonic specimens were incubated with [3H]Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) (0.5 uM). For identification of the AFB,-DNA adduct, the mucosae were pooled from 20 and 60 explants from the bronchus and the colon, respectively, homogenized in Tris-sodium dodecyl sulfate buffer, incubated with proteinase K for 2 hr, and extracted with water-saturated phenol. After centrifugation at 10,000 x g for 30 mm, DNA was isolated from the upper phase by precipitation with ice-cold ethanol and kept overnight at -20°C. DNA was redissolved in 0.1 M Tris-HCI buffer (pH 6.5), treated with RNase I at 37° for 1 hr, and extracted twice with chloroform/phenol (1/1). The DNA solution was kept -20° until identification of the adduct.
