    Potencial genotóxico in vivo de 2-Alcilciclobutanonas provenientes de manteiga de cacau irradiada, em células hepáticas de ratos Wistar
    2020 - MARTINS, REGIANE
    A irradiação de alimentos mostra-se uma técnica eficaz para reduzir alguns patógenos dos alimentos e isso ganhou atenção significativa ao seu potencial de segurança do alimento. As 2-Alcilciclobutanonas são produtos radiolíticos únicos gerados pela quebra induzida, por radiação, de trigicerídeos nos alimentos que contêm gordura. 2-Dodecilciclobutanona (2-dDCB) e 2-Tetradecilciclobutanona (2- tDCB) são os compostos mais abundantes detectados em alimentos irradiados, e sabe-se que parte desses compostos ingeridos são excretados pelas fezes e uma pequena parte é depositada no tecido adiposo. Trabalhos realizados anteriormente sugeriram efeitos genotóxicos e citotóxicos em células de cólon. Apesar de estudos mais recentes mostrarem a não genotoxicidade de 2-ACBs, os resultados são conflitantes e, portanto, continuamos os estudos para confirmar a segurança dos compostos para a saúde humana. As células hepáticas foram escolhidas para análise de genotoxicidade por até o momento não terem sido avaliadas in vivo e pela importância do fígado na metabolização de compostos e acúmulo de gordura. O teste de micronúcleo in vivo foi realizado com células específicas extraídas do tecido hepático, por meio de Citometria de fluxo. A análise histológica do tecido hepático foi realizada como análise complementar. Utilizamos manteiga de cacau irradiada com doses de 10, 20 e 30 kGy (consideradas altas doses) para suplementação diária dos animais, a detecção e quantificação de 2-ACBs nas amostras foram obtidas por GC/MS. Os resultados confirmam a segurança do processo de irradiação de alimentos, que mesmo em altas doses de radiação e maior produção de 2-ACBs não indicaram o potencial genotóxico das amostras em células hepáticas.

    Evaluation of cytotoxicity through MTS test of 2-ACBs (2-dDCB AND tDCB) after exposure to hepatic cells

    Food irradiation has been approved in more than 60 countries for many applications in a wide variety of foods. 2-Alkylcyclobutanones (2-ACBs) are the only known radiolytic products formed when foods containing fatty acids are irradiated. Despite the importance of food irradiation, the toxicological potential of 2-ACBs in irradiated food is still no fully understood. In this study we investigated the cytotoxic effects of irradiated palmitic and stearic fatty acids byproducts, 2-dDCB and 2-tDCB, in hepatic cell lines (HepG2, BRL3A and HTC). The cytotoxic effects of 2-dDCB and 2-tDCB were evaluated at 100, 300 and 500 μM for 24 and 48 hours and the cell viability was measured using the MTS assay. While no toxicity was observed for 2-tDCB in all cells for all tested conditions, 2-dDCB was found to be toxic to BRL3A cells (at 100 μM after 48 hours) and HTC cells (at 24 hours in all tested concentrations). HepG2 cells on the other hand, were found to be resistant to 2-dDCB-induced toxicity. Overall our data shows that the byproduct 2-tDCB is not toxic for hepatic cells while 2-dDCB can be used has a potential marker for food irradiation-induced toxicity.

    In vivo genotoxicity of 2-alkylcyclobutanones in liver cells from rats fed with irradiated cocoa butter using flow cytometry
    2021 - MARTINS, R.; VIEIRA, D.P.; CARVALHO, L.R.; BARBEZAN, A.B.; VILLAVICENCIO, A.L.C.H.
    Food irradiation proves to be an effective technique of eliminating some pathogens from food and this has gained significant attention to its potential for food safety. Since 1990, studies on the toxicological safety of 2-Alkylcyclobutanones have been conducted extensively. 2-Alkylcyclobutanones are unique radiolytic products generated by the radiation-induced breakage of triglycerides in food, 2-dodecylcyclobutanone (2-dDCB) and 2-tetradecylcyclobutanone (2-tDCB) are the predominant compounds detected . Despite studies showing non-genotoxicity of 2-ACBs (2-Alkylcyclobutanones), the results are conflicting and therefore we continue the studies in order to confirm the compounds are safety for human health. In vivo micronucleus test were performed to verify the 2-ACBs genotoxic effects in hepatic cells using flow cytometry. We used cocoa butter irradiated with 20 kGy. A group with animals was treated with daily intake of irradiated cocoa butter, synthesized 2-dDCB and 2-tDCB for one month. Hepatic cells were selected for genotoxicity analysis due to the liver importance in the compounds metabolization. The improvement of the analytical techniques is important for the research future since the irradiation process is already consolidated. The results confirmed the safety of the food irradiation process, as they did not indicate the genotoxic potential of the samples.

    Food irradiation proves to be an effective technique of eliminating some pathogens from food and this has gained significant attention to its potential for food safety. Since 1990, studies on the toxicological safety of 2-Alkylcyclobutanones have been conducted extensively. 2- Alkylcyclobutanones are unique radiolytic products generated by the radiation-induced breakage of triglycerides in food, are exclusively found in irradiated lipid containing foods. 2-dodecylcyclobutanone (2-dDCB) and 2-tetradecylcyclobutanone (2-tDCB) are the predominant compounds detected in irradiated food. Despite studies showing non- genotoxicity of 2-ACBs (2-Alkylcyclobutanones), the results are conflicting and therefore we continue the studies in order to confirm the compounds safety for human health. In vivo micronucleus test were performed to verify the 2-ACBs genotoxic effects in hepatic cells using flow citometry. We used cocoa butter irradiated with 20 kGy at IPEN GAMACELL. A group with animals (IPEN Ethical Animal Experimentation Committee, process number 148/14) was treated with daily intake of irradiated cocoa butter, synthesized 2- Dodecylcyclobutanone and 2-Tetradecylcyclobutanone for two months. Hepatic cells were selected for genotoxicity analysis due to the liver importance in the compounds metabolization. Analyzes were made by micronucleus test with specific cells extracted from hepatic tissue using flow cytometry, which is an alternative to conventional techniques, allowing faster analysis and reduction in the animals number that is a subject much approached in research today. The improvement of the analytical techniques is important for the research future since the irradiation process is already consolidated. The results confirmed the safety of the food irradiation process, as they did not indicate the genotoxic potential of the samples.

    Ames test to detect mutagenicity of 2-alkylcyclobutanones: a review
    2017 - BARBEZAN, ANGELICA B.; MARTINS, REGIANE; BUENO, JENNIFER B.; VILLAVICENCIO, ANNA L.C.H.
    Food irradiation is an effective and safe method for preservation and long-term storage, and it is approved for use in over 60 countries for various applications in a wide variety of food products. This process is performed by use of accelerated electron beams, X-rays, or gamma radiation (60Co or 137Cs). 2-Alkylcyclobutanones (2-ACBs) are the only known radiolytic products generated from foods that have fatty acids (triglycerides) and are subjected to irradiation. Since the 1990s toxicological safety studies of 2-ACBs have been conducted extensively through synthetic compounds, then and tests to determine if the compounds have any mutagenic activity are strictly necessary. The Ames test was chosen by many researchers to assess the mutagenicity of 2-ACBs. The test uses distinct bacterial cell lines Salmonella typhimurium to detect point mutations at sites guanine–cytosine (G–C) and Escherichia coli to detect point mutations at sites adenine–thymine (A–T). This bibliographic research aims to bring together all the results obtained and a comparison and cell lines used, type of plates, and solvents. This research showed that no mutagenic activity was observed in any of the cell lines and concentrations evaluated by the works of authors, so the 2-ACBs compounds showed no mutagenic substance in concentrations detectable by the Ames test.
