| Abstract: | The systemic toxicity of cyclic peptides produced by cyanobacteria (CCPs) is not yet completely understood. Apart from the most known damages to the liver and kidneys, symptoms of their neurotoxicity have also been reported. Hepatotoxic CCPs, like microcystins, as well as non-hepatotoxic anabaenopeptins and planktopeptins, all exhibit cytotoxic and cytostatic effects on mammalian cells. However, responses of different cell types to CCPs depend on their specific modes of interaction with cell membranes. This study demonstrates that non-hepatotoxic planktopeptin BL1125 and anabaenopeptins B and F, at concentrations up to 10 µM, affect normal and tumor human astrocytes (NHA and U87-GM) in vitro by their almost immediate insertion into the lipid monolayer. Like microcystin-LR (up to 1 µM), they inhibit Ser/Thr phosphatases and reorganize cytoskeletal elements, with modest effects on their gene expression. Based on the observed effects on intermediate filaments and intermediate filament linkage elements, their direct or indirect influence on tubulin cytoskeletons via post-translational modifications, we conclude that the basic mechanism of CCP toxicities is the induction of inter- and intracellular communication failure. The assessed inhibitory activity on Ser/Thr phosphatases is also crucial since the signal transduction cascades are modulated by phosphorylation/dephosphorylation processes. |
