摘要： Fusarium mycotoxins are of great concern because they are the most common food-borne mycotoxins and environmental contaminants worldwide. Fusaric acid (FA), Deoxynivalenol (DON), Zearalenone (ZEA), T-2 toxin (T-2), and Fumonisin B1 (FB1) are important Fusarium toxins contaminating feeds and food and can cause serious health problems. FA can synergize with some other Fusarium toxins to enhance overall toxicity. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains poorly understood. In this study, our CRISPR screening revealed Malate dehydrogenase 2 (MDH2) and Pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 subunit beta (PDHB) are the key genes for FAinduced cell death. Pathways associated with mitochondrial function, notably the TCA cycle, play a significant role in FA cytotoxicity. We found that MDH2 and PDHB depletion reduced FA-induced cell death, ROS accumulation, and the expression of caspase-3 and HIF-1 alpha. The cell viability assays and flow cytometry demonstrated that MDH2 knockout but not PDHB decreased DON, ZEA, T-2, and FB1-induced cytotoxicity, apoptosis, and ROS accumulation. MDH2 inhibitor LW6 also decreased DON, ZEA, T-2, and FB1-induced toxicity. This suggested that MDH2, but not PDHB, is a common regulator of broad-spectrum Fusarium toxin (FA, DON, ZEA, T-2, and FB1)-induced cell death. Our work provides new avenues for the treatment of Fusarium toxin toxicity.
