For example, Patulin (PAT), a common food-borne mycotoxin, decreased activity of SLC7A11 by activating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-mediated formation of the beclin1-SLC7A11 complex and exacerbated folic acid-induced nephrotoxicity in a mouse model of AKI (Chen et al., 2022). This evidence concerns the gene SLC7A11 and acute kidney injury.
