Effect of fusarochromanone and T-2 toxin on articular chondrocytes in monolayer culture.
The effect of fusarochromanone and T-2 toxin on DNA synthesis and radio-sulfate incorporation by rabbit articular chondrocytes was studied in monolayer culture. T-2 toxin reduced DNA more than 50% at 5 x 10(-9) M; fusarochromanone caused small but progressive decrements over a range of 5 x 10(-8) to 10(-6) M. These actions are not specific for chondrocytes. The findings lend no support to the hypothesis that fusarochromanone, at least in unmodified form, is the etiologic agent in Kashin-Beck disease.
