金针菇子实体富硒栽培特性及HPLC-ICP-MS法对硒的分布研究

以金针菇子实体为富硒载体,比较研究其富硒及生长特性,同时采用高灵敏度分离和超痕量元素分析技术（HPLC-ICP-MS）分离检测其含硒生物大分子化合物,确定其分子量及硒含量。结果表明：金针菇子实体对硒的富集能力与培养基中硒浓度有关。样品中的硒浓度与培养基中硒浓度呈正相关性,同一培养基子实体中硒的分布为：菌冠＞菌柄＞菌根;培养基中硒浓度小于30mg/kg时对金针菇的生长有促进作用,富硒系数在2.8－9.9之间;培养基中硒浓度在40－200mg/kg范围时,对金针菇的生长产生抑制作用;高于200mg/kg时,不适于富硒金针菇的培养。对富硒金针菇子实体以Tris-HCl浸提,采用体积排阻色谱法（SEC-HPLC）根据蛋白分子量标样检测浸提液中可溶性生物大分子化合物的分子量分布在25kDa以下;同时与电感耦合等离子体质谱联机（SEC-HPLC-ICP-MS）将不同分子量的含硒化合物中的硒进行高温电离检测各形态硒化合物中硒的含量在68.74－2,986.00μg/kg之间,占浸提液中硒含量的71.87%;其中硒蛋白含硒量占4.88%。因此,以金针菇为载体进行硒的生物有机化不仅成本低,含硒量高,而且硒的主要存在形态安全无毒、人体利用率高。     

植物硒及其含硒蛋白的研究

硒是植物的有益元素,植物对硒的吸收与外源硒的有效性、硒的形态、植物的种类等有关;硒在植物中主要以有机硒形态存在,HPLC-ICP-MS联用已成为植物体内硒形态鉴定的最常用手段;含硒蛋白是植物体内最主要的有机大分子硒,具有抗肿瘤、抗氧化等多种生物活性。在环境安全和人类健康等方面,富硒植物具有很好的应用价值,所以利用分子生物学手段分析富硒植物的富硒机制,可以为富硒基因的筛选和利用提供理论依据。

富硒产品中硒的形态分析及化学评分模式的建立

采用微波水解、HPLC-HG-AFS法测定了硒蛋白粉、硒蛋白片、肽粉、富硒原料等19种硒产品中的总硒、硒代氨基酸和亚硒酸根离子[Se(IV)],分析了硒代氨基酸、Se(IV)和其他形态硒占总硒的百分比及不同形态硒代氨基酸的组成比例。以此为依据,将硒产品分为硒蛋白型、单一硒代氨基酸型、其它形态硒型及有机无机硒混合型。根据DBS42/002-2014规定建立了富有机硒产品评分模式,其中18种为富有机硒产品;根据适硒地区母乳中硒代氨基酸的组成比例提出了硒代氨基酸的化学评分模式,评分结果显示13种以蛋白态硒为主的硒产品中硒代氨基酸的组成比例均与母乳相差甚远,不利于人体平衡吸收利用,其中10种SeMet含量远远超过人体所需,SeCys_2为限制硒代氨基酸。该评分模式的建立对硒产品的开发具有指导意义。

秦巴山区富硒蛹虫草有效成分及硒存在形态分析

为探究秦巴山区富硒蛹虫草有效成分及硒存在形态,以秦巴山区蛹虫草CM-1518为研究对象,研究不同质量分数亚硒酸钠(0～500 mg/kg)对蛹虫草生长发育的影响,并对其有效成分及硒存在形态进行分析。试验结果表明当亚硒酸钠质量分数为100 mg/kg时,蛹虫草鲜质量最高,为293.41 g/盒。当亚硒酸钠质量分数为200 mg/kg时,虫草素、虫草酸含量最高,分别为1.06 mg/g和2.10 mg/g,表明硒与虫草素和虫草酸可协同增效,但虫草多糖含量变化规律不明显,亚硒酸钠的添加不利于腺苷的合成积累。经计算,富硒蛹虫草中有机硒所占百分比均高达99.9%,低浓度的亚硒酸钠可促进可溶性蛋白和可溶性多糖中硒的合成,但高浓度的硒却降低其合成,且富硒蛹虫草中可溶性多糖中硒含量高于可溶性蛋白硒含量。试验表明适宜浓度的亚硒酸钠可促进蛹虫草生长发育及有效成分合成积累。

Subcellular distribution of selenium in deficient mouse liver.

Selenium (Se)-deficient mice were labelled in vivo with single pulses of [75Se]selenite, and the intrahepatic distribution of the trace element was studied by subcellular fractionation. At 1 h after intraperitoneal injection of 3.3 or 10 micrograms of Se/kg body weight, 15% of the respective doses were found in the liver. Accumulation in the subcellular fractions followed the order: Golgi vesicular much greater than lysosomal greater than cytosolic = microsomal greater than mitochondrial, peroxisomal, nuclear and plasma-membrane fraction. At a dose of 3.3 micrograms/kg, more than 90% of the hepatic Se was protein-bound. When cross-contamination was accounted for, the following specific Se contents of the subcellular compartments were extrapolated: Golgi apparatus, 7.50 pmol/mg; cytosol, 0.90 pmol/mg; endoplasmic reticulum, 0.80 pmol/mg; mitochondria, 0.49 pmol/mg; nuclei, lysosomes, peroxisomes and plasma membrane, less than 0.4 pmol/mg. At 10 micrograms/kg, a roughly 2-3-fold increase in Se content of all fractions was found without major changes in the intrahepatic distribution pattern. An extraordinary rise in the cytosolic fraction was due to an apparently non-protein-bound Se pool. At 24 h after dosing, total hepatic Se had decreased to 6% of the initial dose and had become predominantly protein-bound. The 60% decrease in hepatic Se was reflected in a similar fall in the subcellular levels of the trace element. The Golgi apparatus still had the highest specific Se content, although accumulation was 5 times less than that after 1 h. The cytosolic pool accounted for 50% of the hepatic Se at both labelling times. After 1 h the Golgi apparatus was, with 19%, the second largest intrahepatic pool, followed by the endoplasmic reticulum with 16%. The high affinity and fast response of the Golgi apparatus to Se supplementation of deficient mice is interpreted in terms of a predominant function of this cell compartment in the processing and the export of Se-proteins from the liver.     

Meta-analysis of selenium accumulation and expression of antioxidant enzymes in chicken tissues

A meta-analysis integrating results of 40 selenium (Se) supplementation experiments that originated from 35 different controlled randomized trials was carried out in an attempt to identify significant factors that affect tissue Se accumulation in chicken. Examined factors included: Se source (12 different sources examined), type of chicken (laying hens or broilers), age of birds at the beginning of supplementation, duration of supplementation, year during which the study was conducted, sex of birds, number of chickens per treatment, method of analysis, tissue type, concentration of Se determined and Se added to feed. A correlation analysis was also carried out between tissue Se concentration and glutathione peroxidase activity. Data analysis showed that the factors significantly affecting tissue Se concentration include type of chicken (P=0.006), type of tissue (P<0.001) and the analytical method used (P=0.014). Although Se source was not found to affect tissue Se concentration (overall P>0.05), certain inorganic (sodium selenite), calcium selenite, sodium selenate and organic sources (B-Traxim Se), Se-yeast, Se-malt, Se-enriched cabbage and Se-enriched garlic as well as background Se level from feed ingredients were found to significantly affect tissue Se concentration. The Se accumulation rate (estimated as linear regression coefficient of Se concentrations to Se added to feed) discriminated between the various tissues with highest values estimated in the leg muscle and lowest in blood plasma. Correlation analysis has also shown that tissue Se concentration (pooled data) was correlated to Se added to feed (r=0.529, P<0.01, log values) and to glutathione peroxidase activity (r=0.332, P=0.0478), with the latter not being correlated with Se added to feed. Although significant factors affecting Se concentration were reported in the present study, they do not necessarily indicate the in vivo function of the antioxidant system or the level of accumulated Se as other factors, not examined in the present study, may interact at the level of trace element absorption, distribution and retention.     

Selenium deficiency in yugoslavia

Data on selenium (Se) deficiency in Yugoslavia are presented. The results include Se content of soil, cereal crops, and garlic grown in these soils, and human serum and scalp hair from several towns and regions. All data indicate a serious Se deficiency: soil (n=140), the mean value of 200±69.6 μg/kg Se; wheat, (58) = 20.5 ± 12.4 μg/kg; corn, (79) = 13.7 ± 13.6 μg/kg; and garlic, (66) = 13.7 ± 17.1 μg/kg Se. Analyses of human tissue show a very low Se status of the Yugoslav population: serum, (n=875) = 50.0 ± 18.0 μg/L and scalp hair, (388) = 94 ± 16 μg/kg Se. In some regions, Se contents of grain, garlic, and human serum and hair are approaching those in the low-Se belt in China. It is assumed that very low Se status of a human population could be a risk factor in the development of Balkan Endemic Nephropathy (BEN) and in a high incidence of urinary tract tumors (UTT) in endemic areas. A portion of these results were presented at the International Symposium on Selenium, Belgrade, May 12–15, 1991, Abstracts p.1, Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts.     

In vitro digestion method to evaluate solubility of dietary zinc,selenium and manganese in salmonid diets

BackgroundThe determination of dietary mineral solubility is one of the main steps in the evaluation of their availability for a given species.MethodsThis study proposed an in vitro digestion method (acidic and alkaline hydrolysis). The method was applied to evaluate the solubility of inorganic and organic forms of zinc (Zn), selenium (Se) and manganese (Mn) in salmonid diets. An inorganic mineral (IM) diet was supplemented with zinc sulphate, sodium selenite and manganous sulphate and an organic mineral (OM) diet was supplemented with zinc chelate of glycine, l-selenomethionine and manganese chelate of glycine.ResultsThe solubility of Zn was similar in both diets tested. The amount of soluble Zn was low in the acidic hydrolysis (3–8%) and lower in the alkaline hydrolysis (0.4–2%). The solubility of Se was higher in the OM diet (7–34%) compared with the IM diet (3–12%). Regarding Mn, after the acidic hydrolysis the solubility was higher in the IM diet (6–25%) than the OM diet (4–17%). The in vitro solubility were compared with in vivo availability of Zn, Se and Mn. Data obtained for solubility (%) of Zn, Se and Mn was lower when compared with apparent availability (%) of Zn, Se and Mn.ConclusionData obtained demonstrated that solubility of Zn, Se and Mn was influenced by the mineral chemical form supplemented to the diet and by the gastrointestinal environment. The solubility of Zn, Se and Mn was not comparable with the apparent availability of Zn, Se and Mn. Nevertheless, the effect of the chemical form of the minerals was similar for the solubility of Zn, Se and Mn and the apparent availability of Zn, Se and Mn. Considering the overall results of this study, the in vitro method could replace some of the in vivo studies for a qualitative evaluation but not for a quantitative evaluation.     

Degradation Mechanism and Enhancing Strategies of Oxygen Reduction Reaction Catalyzed by Carbon-Based Metal Free Catalysts in Acidic Solution

Carbon-based metal free catalysts (CMFCs) are far away from commercial availability mainly attributed to their poor oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance in acidic environment with the causes remaining obscure. By investigating the heteroatoms (N, B, P, S, Se, and Te)-doped reduced graphene oxides, the degradation mechanism of acidic ORR performance of CMFCs is found to be correlated with the oxygen-baring defects in the carbon sp² lattice, which exhibit overpotentials as low as 0.44 V but weak trapping capabilities for oxygen molecules. These findings not only revise the previously reported strategy of modeling the active sites in the basal plane of CMFCs but also highlight the connections between those active sites and the triple-coordinated VIA group elements (XC₃). Further calculations demonstrate that the XC₃ dimer can efficiently enhance the acidic ORR performance and the 2D trigonal carbon-chalcogenides C₆X (X = S, Se, and Te) are accordingly designed toward acidic ORR, which contain homogeneously distributed basal plane active sites and exhibit low overpotentials but strong trapping capabilities for oxygen molecules. This work will help to cease the debates on the active sites in CMFCs for ORR in both acidic and alkaline solutions and to open a new avenue to design CMFCs independent on doping strategy.     

Influence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on growth and selenium uptake by garlic plants

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on garlic plants growth and the uptake of selenium (Se). Garlic plants were grown in the pots inoculated with Glomus fasciculatum and G. mosseae and maintained in a greenhouse. Three weeks after planting, the pots had received different concentrations of Se (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 mg kg^?1 of soil) in the form of selenium dioxide (SeO₂) at 3 weeks intervals up to 12 weeks. For physiological and biochemical analysis, the samples were randomly collected from five plants of each experiment. Maximum AM infection, spore population and plant biomass were observed in the roots of mycorrhizal-mediated plants without Se, and they were gradually declined in both mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal (NM) plants with increasing concentrations of Se. Among the two Glomus species tested, G. fasciculatum-mediated plants showed higher AM infection, spore population and plant biomass than G. mosseae. No differences were observed for the uptake of Se in mycorrhizal plants and NM plants. However, NM plants uptake more Se than mycorrhizal plants. Higher contents of total chlorophyll and sugars were observed in plants inoculated with G. fasciculatum without Se and they were decreased in the presence of Se. In contrast, increased amount of glutathione peroxidase was observed at increasing concentrations of Se up to 20 mg kg^?1. High-performance liquid chromatography data revealed that SeO₂ converted to organic form of Se as γ-glutamyl-Se-methylselenocysteine. These results are basis for further investigations on the role of AMF on plant growth and uptake of Se in crop plants.     

Correlation study between gastronomy culture and content of selenium towards prevalence of cardiovascular and diabetes in West Java,Indonesia

Background and aimSelenium (Se) is an important element in the human body. Deficiency or excess of Se can cause harm to human health. A previous study showed an association of Se with cardiovascular and diabetes diseases. One of the food sources of Se is vegetables. In West Java, Indonesia, people consume fresh vegetables such as Garlic, Jengkol, and Petai. This research aims to study the correlation between the gastronomy culture of people in West Java, Se content in Garlic (Allium sativum), Jengkol (Archidendron pauciflorum) and Petai (Parkia speciosa) from several Regencys/cities in West Java, and the prevalence cardiovascular and diabetic diseases.MethodA cultural study was conducted based on a literature review. Cluster sampling was chosen for the sampling method. The prevalence of cardiovascular disease and diabetes in these regencies were obtained from the Ministry of Health of Indonesia. The measurement of Se content in a sample was conducted by the fluorometry method, based on the formation of the piazoselenol complex from the reaction between selenite ion and DAN (2,3-diaminonapthalene).ResultsPeople in West Java prefer to consume garlic, jengkol, and petai as a fresh vegetable as part of their culture. The highest content of Se in Allium sativum was found in Tasikmalaya City with a value of 69.20 ng/g. For Archidendron pauciflorum from Subang Regency values were 498 ng/g. Parkia speciosa found in the Bandung Barat Regency had a mean value 257.9 ng/g. There is a positive correlation between Se-concentration in Archidendron pauciflorum and the prevalence of diabetes while negative correlation with the prevalence of cardiovascular disease. In addition, no correlation was observed for Allium sativum and Parkia Specose might be due to a lower Se-concentration in these vegetables that in the Archidendron fauciflorum.ConclusionDifferent areas have varying concentrations of Se in plants that grow in the region. The gastronomy culture and Se content may play a role to increase or decrease cardiovascular and diabetes prevalence in that area.     

Determination of selenium via the fluorescence quenching effect of selenium on hemoglobin‐catalyzed peroxidative reaction

A new method for the determination of selenium based on its fluorescence quenching on the hemoglobin‐catalyzed reaction of H₂O₂ and l ‐tyrosine has been established. The effect of pH, foreign ions and the optimization of variables on the determination of selenium was examined. The calibration curve was found to be linear between the fluorescence quenching (F₀/F) and the concentration of selenium within the range of 0.16‐4.00 µg/mL. The detection limit was 1.96 ng/mL and the relative standard deviation was 3.14%. This method can be used for the determination of selenium in Se‐enriched garlic bulbs with satisfactory results.

Thermal degradation of allicin in garlic extracts and its implication on the inhibition of the in-vitro growth of Helicobacter pylori

Allicin, the main active principle related to Allium sativum chemistry, is considered to be responsible for the bacteriostatic properties of garlic. The work described here has demonstrated the direct implication of the allicin present in solvent-free garlic extracts obtained with ethanol (ethanolic garlic extract, EGE) and acetone (acetonic garlic extract, AGE) in the inhibition of the in-vitro growth of Helicobacter pylori (Hp), the bacterium responsible for serious gastric diseases such as ulcers and even gastric cancer. The evolution of allicin concentration as a function of time and temperature has been the subject of a kinetic study. The reaction order, activation energy, and preexponential factor (in accordance with Arrhenius theory) have been determined for the decomposition process of allicin in these organic media. First-order decomposition, an activation energy of 97.4 kJ/mol, and an Arrhenius preexponential factor of 8.9 x 10(10) s(-1) have been determined for allicin in EGE. For allicin in AGE the kinetic order determined was 1.5, the activation energy 184.5 kJ/mol, and the preexponential factor 3.1 x 10(24) s(-1) (mg/L)(-0.5). The presence or absence of allicin in these garlic products was found to be crucial for the inhibition of the in-vitro growth of Hp, as demonstrated by microbiological analysis for AGE. A relationship has been identified between the effectiveness and durability of the anti-Hp properties shown by AGE and the allicin content of these products. The bacteriostatic properties were active for up to 10 months if the samples were maintained at 6 degrees C.
