Effects of cyclopiazonic acid on the ultrastructure of rat liver.

Abstract:

:Groups of Sprague-Dawley rats were dosed per os for 4 consecutive days with 0.0, 0.2, 2.0 or 4.0 mg cyclopiazonic acid (CPA)/kg body weight/day, and killed on the fifth day. Sections of liver were prepared for electron microscopic examination. Dilatation of the rough endoplasmic reticulum was observed in all hepatocytes examined from the 2 highest dose groups, and in about 25% of liver cells from the 0.2 mg CPA/kg/day group. Vesiculation of the rough endoplasmic reticulum also occurred in these groups, an increasing amount of vesiculation being observed with increasing dosage. Control sections exhibited neither of these characteristics. No proliferation of smooth endoplasmic reticulum, or blockage of bile canaliculi was observed in any group. Lysing cells were present only in the 4.0 mg CPA/kg/day group; mitochondria in the 2.0 and 4.0 mg CPA/kg/day dose groups were swollen. Nuclei were ultrastructurally normal in all groups. The primary cellular effect of CPA was on the endoplasmic reticulum, even at relatively low doses. Possible interactions of CPA with other toxins likely to be produced by the same fungus, such as aflatoxin, are considered.
