Comparison Study of Two Fumonisin-Degrading Enzymes for Detoxification in Piglets

Fumonisins (FBs), particularly fumonisin B1 (FB1) and fumonisin B2 (FB2) produced mainly by <i>Fusarium verticillioide</i> and <i>Fusarium proliferatum</i>, are common contaminants in animal feed and pose a serious threat to both animal and human health. The use of microbial...

description Fumonisins (FBs), particularly fumonisin B1 (FB1) and fumonisin B2 (FB2) produced mainly by <i>Fusarium verticillioide</i> and <i>Fusarium proliferatum</i>, are common contaminants in animal feed and pose a serious threat to both animal and human health. The use of microbial enzymes to efficiently and specifically convert fumonisins into non-toxic or low-toxic metabolites has emerged as the most promising approach. However, most of the available enzymes have only been evaluated in vitro and lack systematic evaluation in vivo. In this study, the detoxification efficacy of two carboxylesterases, FumD (FUM<i>zyme</i><sup>®</sup>) and FumDSB, was evaluated comparatively in piglets. The results show that feeding piglets 4.4 mg/kg FBs-contaminated diets for 32 days did not significantly affect the average daily gain, organ indices, and immunoglobulins of the piglets. However, a significant reduction (21.2%) in anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-4 was observed in the FBs group, and supplementation with FUM<i>zyme</i><sup>®</sup> and FumDSB significantly increased interleukin-4 by 62.1% and 28.0%, respectively. In addition, FBs-contaminated diets resulted in a 3-fold increase in the serum sphinganine/sphingosine (Sa/So) ratio, which is a specific biomarker that has been used to accurately reflect fumonisin levels. The serum Sa/So ratio was significantly reduced by 48.8% after the addition of FUM<i>zyme</i><sup>®</sup>, and was insignificantly reduced by 8.2% in the FumDSB group. These results suggested that FUM<i>zyme</i> was more effective than FumDSB in mitigating FBs toxicity in piglets by down-regulating the Sa/So ratio.
