Abstract: 
Objective: To investigate the effects of t-2 toxin on expressions of Fas, p53, Bcl-xL, Bcl-2, Bax and caspase-3 on human chondrocytes. Methods: Human chondrocytes were treated with t-2 toxin (1~20 ng/ml) for 5 d. Fas, p53 and other apoptosis-related proteins such as Bax, Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, caspase-3 were determined by Western blot analysis and their mRNA expressions were determined by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results: Increases in Fas, p53 and the pro-apoptotic factor Bax protein and mRNA expressions and a decrease of the anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-xL were observed in a dose-dependent manner after exposures to 1~20 ng/ml t-2 toxin, while the expression of the anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-2 was unchanged. Meanwhile, t-2 toxin could also up-regulate the expressions of both pro-caspase-3 and caspase-3 in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion: These data suggest a possible underlying molecular mechanism for t-2 toxin to induce the apoptosis signaling pathway in human chondrocytes by regulation of apoptosis-related proteins.
