Targets and effects of yessotoxin, okadaic acid and palytoxin: a differential review.

Franchini A , Malagoli D , Ottaviani E .

Abstract
In this review, we focus on processes, organs and systems targeted by the marine toxins yessotoxin (YTX), okadaic acid (OA) and palytoxin (PTX). The effects of YTX and their basis are analyzed from data collected in the mollusc Mytilus galloprovincialis, the annelid Enchytraeus crypticus, Swiss CD1 mice and invertebrate and vertebrate cell cultures. OA and PTX, two toxins with a better established mode of action, are analyzed with regard to their effects on development. The amphibian Xenopus laevis is used as a model, and the Frog Embryo Teratogenesis Assay-Xenopus (FETAX) as the experimental protocol.

IPLB-LdFB: control cells (A); and IPLB-LdFB after 24 h (B), 48 h (C) and 72 h (D) incubation with 100 nM YTX; NIH3T3 control cells (E); and NIH3T3 cells after 24 h (F); 48 h (G); 72 h (H) incubation with 100 nM YTX.

Longitudinal sections from E. crypticus controls (A, C) and specimens treated with 100 nM OA for 24 h (D) and 200 nM OA for 12 h (B) stained with gallocyanin-chrome alum (A), Mallory-Azan stain (B) and immunostained with anti-IL-6 polyclonal antibody (C, D). (A) The chloragogenous tissue (c) from controls formed one or two layers of round vacuolated and basophilic cells surrounding the intestine (i). (B) After OA treatment, the tissue showed a higher number of cell layers and expanded into the celomatic cavity. The toxin also induced an increase in the number of circulating celomocytes.
