Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a highly toxic mycotoxin and one of the important risk factors for liver cancer. The synergistic carcinogenic effect of AFB1 and hepatitis B virus is about 30-60 times higher than that of single-factor hepatitis B virus-induced liver cancer. AFB1 plays a toxic role in body mainly by triggering DNA damage, DNA-adduct is the most common form of damage, and changes in epigenetic modification play a significant role in liver damage. This paper reviewed recent advances in AFB1-induced liver injury, and summarized the possible carcinogenic mechanisms of AFB1 to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of liver damage caused by aflatoxin.
