Özet

Objective: Fumonisin B1 (FB1) and zearalenone (ZEA) have been the most widely studied Fusarium mycotoxins. It is demonstrated that FB1 and ZEA affect different molecular mechanisms and cause many toxic effects. In this review, it has been aimed to summarize the effects of FB1 and ZEA on epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation, histone modifications, and microRNA (miRNA) levels, as well as their toxic effects at the molecular level. Result and Discussion: It is shown in various studies that FB1 and ZEA change DNA methylation, histone modification and miRNA levels with dose and application time dependent. Additionally, it is identified that epigenetic studies are important in the molecular mechanisms of these mycotoxins.
