论文摘要: Some microcystins (MCs) might cause hepatotoxicity in animals and humans. MC-LR is also a tumor promoter and a suspect carcinogen. In 2010, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified MC-LR as a possible human carcinogen (Group 2B). Recently, an article entitled Long-term, low-dose exposure to microcystin toxin does not increase the risk of liver tumor development or growth in micewas published in Hepatology Research by Meaghan Labine and Gerald Y. Minuk. However, the experimental design was flawed and the conclusion is misleading. 1 mu g/L MC-LR in drinking water is the provisional guideline value established by the World Health Organization (WHO) for humans in 1998, based on a tolerable daily intake (TDI) of 0.04 mu g/kg body mass (BM). Assuming the mice drink 1.5 mL/10 g BM of water per day, the exposure dose would be 0.15 mu g/kg/d BM, about 270-fold less than 40 mu g/kg/d, the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL). Thus, the dose of MC-LR was too small and unlikely to result in liver tumor development or enhance existing tumor growth, even with a long-term (28 weeks) exposure. Presumably, they didn't consider inter-species variations between mice and humans, including toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics. Ranges of low-doseMCs for animals and humans should be defined. Also, the authorsmisunderstood or misrepresented several previous studies. Before drawing final conclusions on the carcinogenicity of MCs, further well-designed experiments are warranted.
