Cry1Ac toxin and protoxin affect intestinal barrier function by altering zonula occludens-1 and activating mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways in a Caco-2 cell monolayer model of the human intestinal mucosa
2023-08-22
Abstract excerpt
The Cry proteins produced by Bacillus thuringiensis are widely used as bioinsecticides to control crop plagues; they have been considered innocuous for vertebrates. Currently, distinct truncated forms of the genes encoding Cry toxins are expressed in genetically transformed crops that are used for animal and human consumption. Cry1Ac is one of these proteins to which humans are exposed. Our group has demonstrated...
