Na_2SeO_3对血影收缩蛋白(spectrin)与肌动蛋白(actin)相互作用的影响

Na_2SeO_3不影响肌动蛋白(actin)的聚合,但它可通过与血影收缩蛋白(spectrin)作用而间接促进actin的聚合。Na_2SeO_3的作用具有浓度依赖性:低浓度(0.5-5.0ppm)可提高actin聚合过程的成核速度及延伸速度,高浓度则产生相反的效应。巯基试剂如N-乙基马来酰亚胺(NEM)可消除硒的效应。因此,推测适量的硒可能导致spectrin构象发生一定变化,增强spectrin与actin的结合,降低actin链解聚的倾向性,从而稳定红细胞膜骨架。     

硒与巯基作用稳定红细胞膜骨架

Na_2SeO_3可以减少人红细胞膜血影收缩蛋白(Spectrin)从膜骨架上解离下来.当含有巯基的二硫苏糖醇(DTT)存在下或红细胞膜用碘代乙酰胺(IAA)封闭巯基后.Na_2SeO_3的效应就不再呈现.用与巯基结合的荧光探针:N-[3-芘]-马来酰胺(N-[3-P]-M)来测试不同浓度Na_2SeO_3存在下红细胞膜的荧光强度.结果表明,随着Na_2SeO_3浓度增加,荧光强度就相应降低,这都说明硒是通过与红细胞膜巯基相作用来发挥效应的.~(31)P-NMR测试表明,人红细胞膜在加硒条件下透析,化学位移各向异性(Δσ)值低于不加硒的样品,这提示硒与红细胞膜蛋白巯基作用后红细胞膜脂-蛋白质的相互作用发生了变化.根据实验结果对硒作用后可能引起膜蛋白构象的变化也进行了讨论.     

亚硒酸钠抗红细胞膜蛋白交联作用的机理探讨

邻苯二酚氧化处理人红细胞膜会导致膜蛋白交联,产生高分子聚合物(HMP)。用N—乙基马来酰胺(NEM)封闭膜蛋白硫基,则不产生HMP。预先用Na SeO_3(0.05mol/L)处理红细胞膜,也同样不产生HMP。用N—(3-芘)马来酰胺(N-〔3-P〕NEM)标记红细胞膜来测试不同浓度Na_2SeO_3对荧光强度的影响。结果表明,随着Na SeO_3浓度增高荧光强度相应降低。Na_2SeO_3对红细胞膜的预处理时间和荧光强度的变化有关。经Na SeO_3处理的红细胞膜ESR谱提示了Na_2SeO_3与材相互作用有关。用荧光法测定膜结合硒含量表明,Na_2SeO_3处理红细胞膜可导致膜结合硒含量增高。推测,Na SeO_3很可能与膜蛋白疏基作用形成结合硒,从而起到抗膜蛋白交联作用。     

硒与红细胞血影收缩蛋白(Spectrin)作用导致构象变化

从人红细胞膜提取血影收缩蛋白(Spectrin),研究不同浓度Na_2SeO_3与其作用后的构象变化.用N—[3—芘]—马来酰胺(N-[3-P]M)作荧光探针标记Spectrin,经SDS处理后,其荧光强度随硒的浓度增加而逐步降低.但未经SDS处理的样品,加入0.2—1.0ppm的Na_2SeO_3后反而使荧光强度有所增加.Spectrin经硒作用与未经作用相比较在色氨酸内源荧光、丹磺酰氯(DNS-Cl)标记后(DNS-Spectrin)的荧光光谱以及色氨酸残基与DNS基团间的能量转移实验结果均有明显的差别.这反映Spectrin的巯基经与硒作用后会导致构象的变化.     

硒的抗癌机制研究——亚硒酸钠对环磷鸟苷的作用

 AFB_1和NDEA与正常小鼠肝切片培养5min即可使cGMP分别升高一倍及一倍半(p<0.001);当有Na_2SeO_3(1μg/mL培养液)存在时,此作用可被消除,单独加入Na_2SeO_3对cGMP无影响。培养介质中存在磷酸二酯酶抑制剂茶碱时,除cGMP基础水平提高外,上述作用均相同。荷腹水型肝癌(HepA)小鼠腹水细胞中cGMP比正常肝中cGMP水平高三倍,连续4天腹腔给硒(Na_2SeO_3、1mg/kg体重)可使癌细胞中cGMP下降一倍。此剂量对正常小鼠肝中cGMP无影响;Na_2SeO_3(1μg/mL)与腹水细胞在体外短时间培养时,对细胞存活无影响,却可使cGMP含量下降。     

硒对红细胞膜稳定作用的浓度依赖性

 Na_2SeO_3对人红细胞膜骨架具有稳定作用,但这种作用依赖于Na_2SeO_3的浓度。在低离子强度下,4℃透析人红细胞膜,实验组加入不同浓度的Na_2SeO_3,对照组不加Na_2SeO_3。结果表明,0.1—0.8ppm Na_2SeO_3的存在比对照组具有较高的Na~+,K~+-ATP酶活性、膜脂流动性。用N-[3-芘]-马来酰胺作探针,反映两者构象也有差异。如果在透析液中加入较高浓度的Na_2SeO_3(>1.0ppm)则会产生与低浓度相反的结果。人红细胞膜~31P-NMR的测试也表明,加入0.4ppm与4.0ppm Na_2SeO_3会产生不同的结果。与对照组相比较,低浓度使化学位移各向异性值(△σ)下降,而高浓度则使△σ增加。     

亚硒酸钠对烟草冠瘿组织生长的影响及其与内源激素的关系

低浓度(0.1～1μmol/L)亚硒酸钠(Na_2-ScO_s)对烟草冠瘿组织的生长有促进作用;但浓度较高时(5～20μmol/L)不仅对生长有抑制作用,同时能促使其内源吲哚乙酸(IAA)和玉米素(ZA)含量下降,脱落酸(ABA)含量增加,IAA氧化酶活性增强。适宜浓度的外源2,4-D,IAA,6-BA,ZA都可部分缓解较高浓度Na_2SeO_3对生长的抑制作用,其中2,4-D,6-BA的缓解能力分别大于IAA和ZA。Na_2SeO_3还引起烟草冠瘿组织过氧化物同工酶谱发生显著变化,这种变化可被适宜浓度的外源6-BA逆转,并向正常组织方向转化,缓解较高浓度Na_2SeO_3对生长的抑制作用与逆转其过氧化物同工酶谱变化的6-BA浓度范围完全一致。     

Na_2SeO_4对蛹虫草子实体生长的影响

蛹虫草是一种药食两用真菌,具有与冬虫夏草相似的功能,且富硒能力较强。本研究通过大量的人工栽培试验,旨在探究不同浓度Na_2SeO_4对新疆本地蛹虫草子实体生长的影响。试验表明,质量浓度为20 mg/L的Na_2SeO_4对蛹虫草的生长不产生显著影响,但蛹虫草各项生物学指标均随着培养基中外源Na_2SeO_4浓度的增加而呈下降趋势,说明随着外源Na_2SeO_4浓度的增加会对蛹虫草的生长产生抑制效应,当外源Na_2SeO_4质量浓度达到200 mg/L时,生产的蛹虫草已不具备商品价值。由此可见,20 mg/L的质量浓度是以Na_2SeO_4为硒源进行蛹虫草富硒研究的安全浓度。该研究为富硒产品开发寻找新的硒源开辟了新思路,为新疆地区进一步大规模栽培富硒蛹虫草提供一定的参考,但是对以Na_2SeO_4为硒源的最佳富硒浓度还有待于进一步研究。     

Hydrogen selenide,a vital metabolite of sodium selenite,uncouples the sulfilimine bond and promotes the reversal of liver fibrosis

Sodium selenite has alleviating effects on liver fibrosis; however, its therapeutic molecular mechanism remains unclear. Herein,hydrogen selenide, a major metabolite of Na_2SeO_3, was tested to uncouple the sulfilimine bond in collagen Ⅳ, the biomarker of liver fibrosis. A mouse model of liver fibrosis was constructed via a CCl_4-induced method, followed by the administration of 0.2 mg kg~(-1) Na_2SeO_3 via gavage three times per week for 4 weeks. Changes in H_2Se, NADPH, and H_2O_2 levels were monitored in real time by using NIR-H_2Se, DCI-MQ-NADPH, and H_2O_2 probes in vivo, respectively. H_2Se continuously accumulated in the liver throughout the Na_2SeO_3 treatment period, but the levels of NADPH and H_2O_2 decreased. The expression of collagen Ⅳ was analyzed through Western blot and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results confirmed that the sulfilimine bond of collagen Ⅳ in the fibrotic mouse livers could be broken by H_2Se with the Na_2SeO_3 treatment. Therefore, the therapeutic effect of Na_2SeO_3 on liver fibrosis could be mainly attributed to H_2Se that uncoupled the sulfilimine bond to induce collagen Ⅳ degradation. This study provided a reasonable explanation for the molecular mechanism of the in vivo function of Na_2SeO_3 and the prevention of liver fibrosis by administering inorganic selenium.     

亚硒酸钠对AH_(22)小鼠腹水型肝癌细胞中组织特异酶CPSⅠ的诱导及对细胞增殖酶ACT的抑制

通过连续四天腹腔给硒(1μgNa_2SeO_3/克体重)后,腹水型肝癌细胞中与细胞分化相关的CPS_(ase)Ⅰ活性显著上升,同时与细胞增殖相关的ACT_(ase)活性明显下降。而在正常鼠肝中,按相同方式给硒的结果是ACT_(ase)活性明显增高,CPS_(ase)Ⅰ活性则略有下降。该结果表明硒可能涉及对细胞分化与增殖的调控。     

The role of Se in the interconversion of polymeric states of spectrin from human erythrocytes

It has been shown that Se can markedly prevent the dissociation of spectrin from erythrocyte ghosts. We now report that the transformation of incubated spectrin oligomers to its tetramers and dimers was obviously decreased in the presence of trace amounts (0.5-2.0 p.p.m.) of Na2SeO3. The spectrin tetramers and dimers are in a reversible equilibrium and Se could alter this equilibrium in favour of tetramers. This Se effect is concentration dependent and an inverse result was obtained with higher Na2SeO3 concentrations (greater than 4.0 p.p.m.). We suggest that the equilibrium state of the spectrin tetramer-dimer may be governed by a conformation adjustment induced by Se and the difference in conformation in the presence of low and high Na2SeO3 concentration may lead to an alteration of the spectrin tetramer-dimer balance.     

Reaction of Se with SH groups in spectrin is involved in the stabilization of erythrocyte membrane skeleton

Na2SeO3 supplementation in the dialysis medium could obviously prevent the dissociation of spectrin from the erythrocyte membranes. Such Se effect could be eliminated by pretreatment of erythrocyte membranes with a SH-blocking reagent, iodoacetamide(IAA) or addition of a SH-compound, dithio-threitol. The fluorescence intensity of erythrocyte membranes labelled with the fluorescent probe N-(3-pyrenyl)-maleimide decreased with increasing Na2SeO3 concentration used for pretreatment of ghosts. 31P-NMR spectra of erythrocyte membrane dialyzed in the presence or absence of Na2SeO3 concentration showed a difference in chemical shift anisotropy (delta sigma) between these two samples. These data suggest that the stabilization effect is based on changes in lipid-protein interaction and conformation of membrane skeletal components induced by reaction of their SH groups with Na2SeO3.     

Role of Se in stabilization of human erythrocyte membrane skeleton

Na2SeO3 supplementation in the ageing medium could protect aged erythrocyte ghosts from decreases in lipid fluidity, Na, K-ATPase activity, and sensitivity to ouabain. Results also showed that Se could obviously prevent the dissociation of spectrin from the erythrocyte membrane. Furthermore, Se could markedly promote the reassociation of spectrin with the spectrin-stripped inside out membrane vesicles(IOVs) of erythrocytes. The protective action of Se on biomembranes is generally interpreted in terms of the activity of Se-containing glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx). However, since GSHPx is mainly distributed in the cytoplasm of erythrocytes, the stabilizing effect of Se on erythrocyte membranes might not be related to the activity of this enzyme.     

The effect of selenium on the function of the anion transporter (Band 3) of erythrocyte membranes.

The transport activity of Band 3 of spectrin-stripped inside-out erythrocyte membrane vesicles (IOVs) or resealed ghosts was enhanced in the presence of trace amounts of Na2SeO3 (0.2-0.5 p.p.m.); however, at higher concentrations of Na2SeO3 (> 4.0 p.p.m.), an inverse result was obtained. Reassociation of spectrin with IOVs has no effect either on the transport activity of Band 3 or on the enhancement of its activity by Na2SeO3. Sulfhydryl reagents (p-chloromercuribenzoic acid and N-ethylmaleimide) could also inhibit Band 3 activity and eliminate the selenium effect. It is suggested that SH groups are involved in anion transport of Band 3 and that the selenium effect is based on the interaction of SH groups of Band 3 with Na2SeO3.     

Effect of time and sex on tissue selenium concentrations in chicks fed practical diets supplemented with sodium selenite or calcium selenite

An experiment was conducted with 384 1-d-old male and female broiler-chicks. The basal corn-soybean meal diet (.07 ppm Se DM basis) was supplemented with 0, .1, .2, or .3 ppm added Se as either sodium selenite (Na2SeO3) or calcium selenite (CaSeO3), and fed for 1, 3, or 5 wk. There was no effect of Se source or level on feed intake or gain, but males consumed more (P less than .01) feed than females. There was no effect (P greater than .10) of sex or Se source on plasma, liver, or kidney Se concentration. The Se concentration of all tissues increased (P less than .01) with time and increasing dietary Se concentration. Based on multiple regression slope ratios of liver, kidney, and plasma Se concentrations, Se from CaSeO3 was as available (103%) as Se from Na2SeO3.     

In vitro metabolism of selenite in sheep blood: factors controlling the distribution of selenium and the labelling of plasma protein.

Some factors controlling the distribution of Na275SeO3 in sheep blood were studied in vitro. After centrifuging Na275SeO3-incubated blood most of the radioactivity was found in the plasma. The labelling of plasma protein by 75Se was dependent on the presence of erythrocytes. The degree of labelling of plasma protein increased with erythrocyte concentration. When phosphate-buffered saline-washed erythrocytes were suspended in phosphate-buffered saline and incubated with Na275SeO3 the majority of the 75Se was detected in the erythrocytes. On incubating these labelled erythrocytes with unlabelled plasma there was a transfer of radioactivity to the plasma. The calculated activation energy for the labelling of plasma was 107.52 kJ/mol. Albumin was shown not to be a principal acceptor of 75Se from the erythrocytes by ammonium sulphate precipitation of radioactive plasma. Addition of Na2SeO3 to the labelled blood resulted in the transfer of 75Se from plasma to the erythrocytes. Radioactive plasma incubated at 37 degrees C was thermolabile with respect to its 75Se content whereas in whole blood the degree of 75Se binding to plasma protein did not vary suggesting that a recycling of selenium was occurring in blood. From the results presented an in vitro model of selenium metabolism in blood is postulated.
