Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element in many life forms due to its occurrence as selenocysteine (Sec) residue in selenoproteins. However, little is known about the expression pattern of selenoproteins in the liver of layer chicken. To investigate the effects of Se deficiency on the mRNA expressions of selenoproteins in the liver tissue of layer chickens, 1-day-old layer chickens were randomly allocated into two groups (n?=?120/group). The Se-deficient group (?Se) was fed a Se-deficient corn–soy basal diet; the Se-adequate group as control (+Se) was fed the same basal diet supplemented with Se at 0.15 mg/kg (sodium selenite). The liver tissue was collected and examined for mRNA levels of 21 selenoprotein genes at 15, 25, 35, 45, 55, and 65 days old. The data indicated that the mRNA expressions of Gpx1, Gpx2, Gpx3, Gpx4, Sepn1, Sepp1, Selo, Sepx1, Selu, Txnrd1, Txnrd2, Txnrd3, Dio1, Dio2, SPS2, Selm, SelPb, Sep15, and Sels were decreased (p?<?0.05), but not the levels of Dio3 and Seli (p?>?0.05). The results showed that the mRNA levels of 19 selenoprotein (except Seli and Dio3) genes in the layer chicken liver were regulated by diet Se level. The present study provided some compensated data about the roles of Se in the regulation of selenoproteins. 相似文献

Dietary selenium (Se) deficiency induces muscular dystrophy in chicken, but the molecular mechanism remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of dietary Se deficiency on the expressions of 25 selenoproteins. One-day-old broiler chickens were fed either an Se deficiency diet (0.033 mg Se/kg; produced in the Se-deficient area of Heilongjiang, China) or a diet supplemented with Se (as sodium selenite) at 0.2 mg/kg for 55 days. Then, the mRNA levels of 25 selenoproteins in chicken muscles were examined, and the principal component was further analyzed. The results showed that antioxidative selenoproteins especially Gpxs and Sepw1 were highly and extensively expressed than other types of selenoproteins in chicken muscles. In 25 selenoproteins, Gpxs, Txnrd2, Txnrd 3, Dio1, Dio 3, Selk, Sels, Sepw1, Selh, Sep15, Selu, Selpb, Sepp1, Selo, Sepx1, and SPS2 were downregulated (P?0.05), and other selenoproteins were not influenced (P?>?0.05). Se deficiency decreased the expressions of 19 selenoproteins (P?0.05), 11 of which were antioxidative selenoproteins. And, principal component analysis (PCA) further indicated that antioxidative selenoproteins, especially Gpx3, Gpx4, and Sepw1, may play crucial roles in chicken muscles. However, compared with these antioxidative selenoproteins, some other lower expressed selenoproteins (Dio1, Selu, Selpb, Sepp1) were excessively decreased (more than 60 %, P?0.05) by Se deficiency. Thus, it may save the limited Se levels and be beneficial to remain the level of some crucial selenoproteins. These results suggested that Se deficiency mainly influenced the expressions of antioxidative selenoproteins in chicken muscles. And, antioxidative selenoproteins especially Gpxs and Sepw1 may play a crucial role in chicken muscles. Thus, it helps us focus on some specific selenoproteins when studying the role of Se in chicken muscles. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to clarify the effect of Selenoprotein K (Selk) silencing on the mRNA expression of 25 selenoproteins in chicken myoblasts. The specific small interfering RNA (siRNA) for Selk gene was designed and transfected into chicken myoblasts. Post-transfection mRNA expression of 25 selenoproteins was determined at various time periods i.e., 24, 48 and 72 h. Moreover, based on the results of expression of 25 selenoproteins, correlation analysis and principal component analysis (PCA) were used for further analysis. The results showed that the designed siRNA effectively inhibited Selk expression (decreased by 20, 29 and 43 % on 24, 48 and 72 h, respectively) and the mRNA expression levels of the 23 selenoproteins were influenced by silencing Selk differently (P < 0.05). Time-dependent pattern of mRNA expression after siRNA treatment in three groups were found similar: one group including Gpx1, Gpx2, Gpx3, Gpx4, Txnrd1, Txnrd2, Txnrd3, Sepw1, Selh, Sepp1, Selo and Sepx1, another group including Sepn1, Sels, Selt, Selm and Sep15 and other group including Dio2 and Dio3. The results of correlation analysis showed that Gpx1, Gpx2, Gpx3, Gpx4, Dio1, Dio3, Sepn1, Sels, Sepw1, Selt, Selh, Sep15, Seli and Selu had a positive correlation with Selk, while Dio2 and Sepp1 had a negative correlation with Selk. PCA data also indicated that Txnrd1, Txnrd2, Dio2, Selpb, Sepp1and Selo may play special roles in response to Selk silencing. In summary, these results indicated that different selenoproteins possess and exhibits distinct responses to silencing of Selk in chicken myoblasts. 相似文献

Selenium (Se) is a necessary trace mineral in the diet of humans and animals. Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal that can damage animal organs, especially the kidneys. Antagonistic interactions between Se and Cd have been reported in previous studies. However, little is known about the effects of Se against Cd toxicity and on the mRNA levels of 25 selenoprotein genes and inflammatory factors in chicken kidneys. In the current study, we fed chickens with a Se-treated, Cd-treated, or Se/Cd treated diet for 90 days. We then analyzed the mRNA expression of inflammatory factors (including prostaglandin E synthase (PTGES), nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)) and 25 selenoprotein genes (Gpx1, Gpx2, Gpx3, Gpx4, Txnrd1, Txnrd2, Txnrd3, Dio1, Dio2, Dio3, SPS2, Sepp1, SelPb, Sep15, Selh, Seli, Selm, Selo, Sels, Sepx1, Selu, Selk, Selw, Seln, Selt). The results demonstrated that Cd exposure increased the Cd content in the chicken kidneys, renal tubular epithelial cells underwent denaturation and necrosis, and the tubules became narrow or disappeared. However, Se supplementation reduced the Cd content in chicken kidneys and induced normal development of renal tubular epithelial cells. In addition, we also observed that Se alleviated the Cd-induced increase in the mRNA levels of inflammatory factors and ameliorated the Cd-induced downtrend in the mRNA levels of 25 selenoprotein genes in chicken kidneys. 相似文献

Selenium (Se) is necessary for the immune system in chicken and mediates its physiological functions through selenoproteins. Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are indispensable for maintaining normal cell function and for directing the immune response. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of Se deficiency on the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) expression levels of selenoproteins and Hsps as well as immune functions in the chicken bursa of Fabricius. Two groups of chickens, namely the control and Se-deficient (L group) groups, were reared for 55 days. The chickens were offered a basal diet, which contained 0.15 mg Se/kg in the diet fed to the control group and 0.033 mg Se/kg in the diet fed to the L group. We performed real-time quantitative polymerase chain reactionto detect the mRNA expression levels of selenoproteins and Hsps on days 15, 25, 35, 45 and 55. Western blotting was used to determine the protein expression levels of Hsps on days 35, 45 and 55, and immune functions were assessed through an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay on days 15, 35, and 55. The data showed that the mRNA expression levels of selenoproteins, such as Txnrd1, Txnrd2, Txnrd3, Dio1, Dio2, Dio3, GPx1, GPx2, GPx3 GPx4, Sepp1, Selo, Sel-15, Sepx1, Sels, Seli, Selu, Selh, and SPS2, were significantly lower (P < 0.05) in the L group compared with the control group. Additionally, the mRNA and protein expression levels of Hsps (Hsp27, Hsp40, Hsp60, Hsp70, and Hsp90) were also significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the L group. The expression levels of IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-17, IL-1β, IFN-α, IFN-β, and IFN-γ were significantly lower (P < 0.05) and TNF-α was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the L group compared with the control group. Our results show that immunosuppression was accompanied by a downregulation of mRNA expression levels of selenoproteins and an upregulation of the Hsp mRNA expression levels. Thus, Se deficiency causes defects in the chicken bursa of Fabricius, and selenoproteins and Hsps play important roles in immunosuppression in the bursa of Fabricius of chickens with Se deficiency. 相似文献

Selenium (Se) deficiency induces pancreatic atrophy in chickens, but the molecular mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the effect of dietary Se deficiency on the expressions of 25 selenoproteins and the content of nitric oxide (NO) and examined the relationship between selenoproteins and NO. Chickens (180; 1 day old) were randomly divided into two groups, low (L) group (fed with Se deficient (Se 0.033 mg/kg) diet) and control (C) group (fed with normal (Se 0.2 mg/kg) diet). Then, pancreas was collected at 15, 25, 35, 45, and 55 days, and the content of NO, the activity of inducible NO synthase (iNOS), and the messenger RNA (mRNA) levels of 25 selenoproteins and iNOS were measured. The results showed that 25 selenoproteins were decreased (P?0.05) by Se deficiency. Among them, thioredoxin reductase 1 (TXNRD1), selenoprotein S (SELS), selenoprotein U (SELU), selenoprotein X1 (SEPX1), and selenoprotein synthetase 2 (SPS2) were highly and extensively expressed than other types of selenoproteins in pancreas of chickens (P?0.05). Thioredoxin reductase 2 (TXNRD2), glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX1), glutathione peroxidase 3 (GPX3), selenoprotein I (SELI), iodothyronine deiodinase 1 (DIO1), selenoprotein P1 (SEPP1), selenoprotein W1 (SEPW1), selenoprotein O (SELO), selenoprotein T (SELT), selenoprotein M (SELM), selenoprotein X1 (SEPX1), and SPS2 were excessively decreased (P?0.05). Meanwhile, NO content, iNOS activity, and mRNA level were increased strikingly compared with C group (P?0.05). The correlation analysis suggested that NO had a strong negative correlation with GPX1, glutathione peroxidase 2 (GPX2), GPX3, DIO1, selenoprotein K (SELK), SELI, SEPX1, and SPS2. These results suggested that Se deficiency induced pancreatic injury by influencing NO and selenoproteins in pancreas of chickens. Thus, it offers some information on the mechanism of pancreatic injury induced by Se deficiency. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to analyze the selenoprotein expression levels in gastric cancer patients. We enrolled 40 patients (29 males, 11 females) who were recently diagnosed with gastric cancer and 50 healthy people (30 males, 20 females) as controls. The expression of 25 selenoprotein genes (Dio1, Dio2, Dio3, Gpx1, Gpx2, Gpx3, Gpx4, Gpx6, SelH, SelI, SelK, SelM, SelN, SelO, SelP, SelS, SelT, SelV, SelW, SelX, Sel15, Sps2, TR1, TR2, and TR3) in human gastric cancer tissues, para-carcinoma tissues, adjacent normal gastric tissues, erythrocytes, and lymphocytes in the gastric cancer group and healthy control group was analyzed by qRT-PCR. Here, we showed that among the 25 selenoproteins, 13 selenoproteins in erythrocytes (Gpx1, Gpx4, Sel15, TR1, TR2, SelH, SelK, SelM, SelO, SelS, SelV, SelW, and Sps2), 15 selenoproteins in lymphocytes (Gpx1, Gpx4, Sel15, TR1, TR2, SelH, SelK, SelN, SelO, SelS, SelT, SelV, SelX, SelW, and Sps2) and 13 selenoproteins in gastric cancer and para-carcinoma tissues (Dio1, Dio2, Dio3, Gpx1, Gpx4, Sel15, SelH, SelK, SelM, SelS, SelT, SelW, and Sps2) were significantly decreased (P < 0.05) in the gastric cancer group compared to the control group. In summary, the decreasing expression of selenoprotein genes in gastric cancer patients play an important role in the gastric cancer, although further studies are needed to better understand our findings. 相似文献

Thioredoxin (Trx) is a small molecular protein with complicated functions in a number of processes, including inflammation, apoptosis, embryogenesis, cardiovascular disease, and redox regulation. Some selenoproteins, such as glutathione peroxidase (Gpx), iodothyronine deiodinase (Dio), and thioredoxin reductase (TR), are involved in redox regulation. However, whether there are interactions between Trx and selenoproteins is still not known. In the present paper, we used a Modeller, Hex 8.0.0, and the KFC2 Server to predict the interactions between Trx and selenoproteins. We used the Modeller to predict the target protein in objective format and assess the accuracy of the results. Molecular interaction studies with Trx and selenoproteins were performed using the molecular docking tools in Hex 8.0.0. Next, we used the KFC2 Server to further test the protein binding sites. In addition to the selenoprotein physiological functions, we also explored potential relationships between Trx and selenoproteins beyond all the results we got. The results demonstrate that Trx has the potential to interact with 19 selenoproteins, including iodothyronine deiodinase 1 (Dio1), iodothyronine deiodinase 3 (Dio3), glutathione peroxidase 1 (Gpx1), glutathione peroxidase 2 (Gpx2), glutathione peroxidase 3 (Gpx3), glutathione peroxidase 4 (Gpx4), selenoprotein H (SelH), selenoprotein I (SelI), selenoprotein M (SelM), selenoprotein N (SelN), selenoprotein T (SelT), selenoprotein U (SelU), selenoprotein W (SelW), selenoprotein 15 (Sep15), methionine sulfoxide reductase B (Sepx1), selenophosphate synthetase 1 (SPS1), TR1, TR2, and TR3, among which TR1, TR2, TR3, SPS1, Sep15, SelN, SelM, SelI, Gpx2, Gpx3, Gpx4, and Dio3 exhibited intense correlations with Trx. However, additional experiments are needed to verify them. 相似文献

Nutritional muscular dystrophy (NMD) of chicks is induced by dietary selenium (Se)/vitamin E (Vit. E) deficiencies and may be associated with oxidative cell damage. To reveal the underlying mechanisms related to the presumed oxidative cell damage, we fed four groups of 1-day-old broiler chicks (n = 40/group) with a basal diet (BD; 10 μg Se/kg; no Vit. E added, −Se −Vit. E) or the BD plus all-rac-α-tocopheryl acetate at 50 mg/kg (−Se +Vit. E), Se (as sodium selenite) at 0.3 mg/kg (+Se −Vit. E), or both of these nutrients (+Se +Vit. E) for 6 weeks. High incidences of NMD (93%) and mortality (36%) of the chicks were induced by the BD, starting at week 3. Dietary Se deficiency alone also induced muscle fiber rupture and coagulation necrosis in the pectoral muscle of chicks at week 3 and thereafter, with increased (P < 0.05) malondialdehyde, decreased (P < 0.05) total antioxidant capacity, and diminished (P < 0.05) glutathione peroxidase activities in the muscle. To link these oxidative damages of the muscle cells to the Se-deficiency-induced NMD, we first determined gene expression of the potential 26 selenoproteins in the muscle of the chicks at week 2 before the onset of symptoms. Compared with the +Se chicks, the −Se chicks had lower (P < 0.05) muscle mRNA levels of Gpx1, Gpx3, Gpx4, Sepp1, Selo, Selk, Selu, Selh, Selm, Sepw1, and Sep15. The −Se chicks also had decreased (P < 0.05) production of 6 selenoproteins (long-form selenoprotein P (SelP-L), GPx1, GPx4, Sep15, SelW, and SelN), but increased levels (P < 0.05) of the short-form selenoprotein P in muscle at weeks 2 and 4. Dietary Se deficiency elevated (P < 0.05) muscle p53, cleaved caspase 3, cleaved caspase 9, cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2), focal adhesion kinase (FAK), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), phospho-Akt, nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK), phospho-p38 MAPK, phospho-JNK, and phospho-ERK and decreased (P < 0.05) muscle procaspase 3, procaspase 9, and NF-κB inhibitor α. In conclusion, the downregulation of SelP-L, GPx1, GPx4, Sep15, SelW, and SelN by dietary Se deficiency might account for induced oxidative stress and the subsequent peroxidative damage of chick muscle cells via the activation of the p53/caspase 9/caspase 3, COX2/FAK/PI3K/Akt/NF-κB, and p38 MAPK/JNK/ERK signaling pathways. Metabolism of peroxides and redox regulation are likely to be the mechanisms whereby these selenoproteins prevented the onset of NMD in chicks. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of selenium (Se) deficiency on the expression of selenoproteins in chicken muscular stomach and to detect the correlation of selenoproteins with muscular stomach injuries. One-day-old broiler chickens were maintained for 55 days on a normal diet (0.2 mg/kg) or a Se-deficient diet (0.033 mg Se/kg). The expression levels of 25 selenoproteins, heat shock proteins (HSPs), and inflammatory factors were then examined by real-time PCR. Following this, the correlation between selenoproteins, HSPs, and inflammatory factors was analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA). The results showed that Se deficiency decreased the expression of 25 selenoproteins (P < 0.05), but increased the expression of HSP27, HSP40, HSP60, HSP70, and HSP90, and NF-κB, iNOS, TNF-α, COX-2, and HO-1 (P < 0.05). Selenoproteins showed a high negative correlation with HSPs and inflammatory factors. Thus, the results suggested that Se deficiency induced muscular stomach injuries by decreasing the expression of selenoproteins. In addition, selenoproteins play an important role in regulating HSPs and inflammatory response. The muscular stomach is a key target of Se deficiency and may play a special role in response to Se deficiency. 相似文献

Circulating concentration of the essential trace element selenium (Se) was significantly lower in inflammatory disorders. Although Se plays physiological roles mainly through the function of 25 selenoproteins, the response of the selenogenome in immune tissues during inflammatory reactions remains unclear. The objective of this study was to determine the Se retention and selenogenome expression in immune tissues during the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory response in porcine. A total of 12 male pigs were randomly divided into two groups and injected with LPS or saline. After 4 h postinjection, blood samples were collected and pigs were euthanized. Pigs challenged with LPS had 36.8 and 16.6 % lower (P < 0.05) Se concentrations in the serum and spleen, respectively, than those injected with saline. Moreover, the activities of GPX decreased (P < 0.05) by 23.4, 26.6, and 30.4 % in the serum, thymus, and lymph node, respectively, in the pigs injected with LPS. Furthermore, the LPS challenge altered (P < 0.05) the mRNA expression of 14, 16, 10, and 6 selenoprotein genes in the liver, spleen, thymus, and lymph node, respectively. Along with 10 previously reported selenoprotein genes, the response of Txnrd2, Txnrd3, Sep15, Selh, Seli, Seln, Selo, Selt, Selx, and Sephs2 to inflammatory reaction in immune tissues were newly illustrated in this study. In conclusion, the LPS-induced inflammatory response impaired Se metabolism and was associated with dysregulation of the selenogenome expression in immune tissues. 相似文献

Presently, the effect of selenium (Se) deficiency and excess of Se (1 ppm) on the activity of selenoenzymes type 1 5′-iodothyronine
deiodinase (5′-DI), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and level of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) was studied in rats. Se levels in the serum and liver, T3 and T4 in the serum, GSH-Px levels in the liver, and 5′-DI activity in the liver/aorta/thyroid were estimated after 1, 2, and 3
mo of Se-deficient (0.02 ppm), Se-adequate (0.2 ppm), and Se-excess (1 ppm) diet feeding. All of these parameters decreased
significantly in the Se-deficient group as compared to the adequate group. Within the deficient group, as the Se deficiency
progressed, all of the parameters except 5′-DI decreased after 2 and 3 mo in comparison to 1-mo data. Thyroidal 5′-DI activity
in Se deficiency showed the maximum increase. A significant increase was observed in all of the above parameters in the 1
ppm Se-supplemented diet group when compared with the adequate Se group; also, as the Se deposition increased within the Se-excess
diet group, a significant increase was observed in all of the above parameters. However, as observed by others, the intake
of excess of Se (i.e., 2 ppm in the diet) did not elevate the activities of selenoenzymes and thyroid hormones; rather, it
had adverse effects. The present study concludes that Se supplementation at least up to 1 ppm enhances the selenoenzyme activities,
and above this level, it may not be considered as an indicator of selenoenzyme activities. 相似文献

Second-generation selenium-deficient weanling rats fed graded levels of dietary Se were used (a) to study the impact of initial Se deficiency on dietary Se requirements; (b) to determine if further decreases in selenoperoxidase expression, especially glutathione peroxidase 4 (Gpx4), affect growth or gross disease; and (c) to examine the impact of vitamin E deficiency on biochemical and molecular biomarkers of Se status. Rats were fed a vitamin E-deficient and Se-deficient crystalline amino acid diet (3 ng Se/g diet) or that diet supplemented with 100 μg/g all-rac-α-tocopheryl acetate and/or 0, 0.02, 0.05, 0.075, 0.1, or 0.2 μg Se/g diet as Na2SeO3 for 28 days. Se-supplemented rats grew 6.91 g/day as compared to 2.17 and 3.87 g/day for vitamin E-deficient/Se-deficient and vitamin E-supplemented/Se-deficient groups, respectively. In Se-deficient rats, liver Se, plasma Gpx3, red blood cell Gpx1, liver Gpx1 and Gpx4 activities, and liver Gpx1 mRNA levels decreased to <1, <1, 21, 1.6, 49, and 11 %, respectively, of levels in rats fed 0.2 μg Se/g diet. For all biomarkers, ANOVA indicated significant effects of dietary Se, but no significant effects of vitamin E or vitamin E × Se interaction, showing that vitamin E deficiency, even in severely Se-deficient rat pups, does not result in compensatory changes in these biochemical and molecular biomarkers of selenoprotein expression. Se requirements determined in this study, however, were >50 % higher than in previous studies that started with Se-adequate rats, demonstrating that dietary Se requirements determined using initially Se-deficient animals can result in overestimation of Se requirements. 相似文献

Selenium (Se), which is a central component for the biosynthesis and functionality of selenoproteins, plays an important role in the anti-oxidative response, reproduction, thyroid hormone metabolism and the protection from infection and inflammation. However, dietary Se effects have not well been established to date and the available studies often present contradictory results. To obtain a better understanding of Se intake and its influence on the metabolism of living systems, we have utilized a metabolomics approach to gain insight into the specific metabolic alterations caused by Se deficiency in mice. Serum samples were collected from two groups of C57BL/6 mice: an experimental group which was fed a Se-deficient diet and controls consuming normal chow. The samples were analyzed by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The resulting metabolite data were examined separately for both analytical methods and in a combined manner. By applying multivariate statistical analysis we were able to distinguish the two groups and detect a metabolite pattern associated with Se deficiency. We found that the concentrations of 15 metabolites significantly changed in serum samples collected from Se-deficient mice when compared to the controls. Many of the perturbed biological pathways pointed towards compensatory mechanisms during Se deficiency and were associated with amino acid metabolism. Our findings show that a metabolomics approach may be applied to identify the metabolic impact of Se and reveal the most impaired biological pathways as well as induced regulatory mechanisms during Se deficiency. 相似文献

Selenium,zinc, and thyroid hormones in healthy subjects 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Iodothyronine 5′ deiodinase, which is mainly responsible for peripheral T3 production, has recently been demonstrated to be a selenium (Se)-containing enzyme. The structure of nuclear thyroid hormone
receptors contains Zinc (Zn) ions, crucial for the functional properties of the protein. In the elderly, reduced peripheral
conversion of T4 to T3 with a lower T3/T4 ratio and overt hypothyroidism are frequently observed. We measured serum Se and RBC GSH-Px (as indices of Se status), circulating
and RBC Zinc (as indices of Zn status), thyroid hormones and TSH in 109 healthy euthyroid subjects (52 women, 57 men), carefully
selected to avoid abnormally low thyroid hormone levels induced by acute or chronic diseases or calorie restriction. The subjects
were subdivided into three age groups. To avoid under- or malnutrition conditions, dietary records were obtained for a sample
of 24 subjects, randomly selected and representative of the whole population for age and sex. Low T3/T4 ratios and reduced Se and RBC GSH-Px activity were observed only in the older group. A highly significant linear correlation
between the T3/T4 ratio and indices of Se status was observed in the older group of subjects (r=0.54;p<0.002, for Se;r=0.50;p<0.002, for RBC GSH-Px). Indices of Zn status did not correlate with thyroid hormones, but RBC Zn was decreased in older as
compared with younger subjects. We concluded that reduced peripheral T4 conversion is related to impaired Se status in the elderly. 相似文献

The contents of elements K, Ca, Fe, Cu, Zn, Se, and Rb in erythrocytes of 78 cases with different thyroid hormone status have
been measured by proton-induced X-ray emission and neutron activation analysis. According to the status of thyroid hormones
T3, T4, TSH, FT3, and FT4 detected by radioimmunoassay, the experiment subjects were divided into four groups (i.e., hyperthyroid, hypothyroid, critical
[one of thyroid hormones was abnormal], and normal). Elements contents and hormones levels of four groups were analyzed by
one-way analysis of variance and correlation using an SPSS/PC statistical package. The results showed that the Se contents
of four groups were not significantly different (p<0.05). Zn content of hypothyroid group was significantly higher than those of hyperthyroid and critical groups. The Zn content
of the normal group was higher than that of the hypothyroid group and lower than that of the hyperthyroid and critical groups.
In the hyperthyroid group, there were significant correlations between elements contents and thyroid hormones levels (except
TSH), but not between elements contents and levels of thyroid hormones. However, in the hypothyroid group, relatively strong
correlations have been found between elements contents and thyroid hormones levels, especially between Zn and the T3/T4 ratio, and between Zn and TSH. 相似文献

Thioredoxin reductase 1 (Txnrd1) and thioredoxin reductase 2 (Txnrd2) are selenoproteins whose expression and function depends on adequate supply of the trace element selenium (Se). As homozygous (-/-) knockout of both Txnrd1 and Txnrd2 is embryonically lethal, we investigated the effect of their hemizygosity (+/-) alone and in combination with dietary Se on enzymatic activity in various tissues. To assess the overall health of the corresponding mice, the growth, viability and fertility of the different experimental groups were also compared. Se depletion led to a marked decrease in Se organ contents. Se depletion was most prominent in lung, followed by liver, kidney, heart, muscle and brain. We found no major effect of Txnrd1 or Txnrd2 hemizygosity and/or Se on male fertility and the viability of offspring. A gene dose effect under Se-adequate conditions for Txnrd1 and Txnrd2 in all organs was observed. Haploid insufficiency decreased Txnrd activity to an extent that can be further decreased by Se deficiency, but not to levels below those observed for Se depletion alone. The only exception was Txnrd2 activity in kidney, heart and muscle, where we found an additive effect. 相似文献

This study was performed to characterise key data of long-term ovine Se metabolism and to work out the best biomarker of Se status. An upgrade from marginal (<0.05 mg Se/kg diet, ‘Se?’) to sufficient (0.2 mg Se/kg diet, ‘Se+’) nutritional Se supply using sodium selenite was monitered biweekly by analysing Se concentration, glutathione peroxidase (Gpx) activity and routine biochemistry in blood/serum over 2 years. Se, Cu, Zn, cytosolic Gpx and thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) activity were measured in the liver (biopsies/post-mortem). Se, Gpx, TrxR, glutathione-S-transferase-alpha (aGST) and iodothyronine deiodinase (Dio1) were analysed in the kidney, heart muscle and thyroid. Relative mRNA expression of hepatic aGST1 and Gpx1 was determined.Improvement of Se supply strongly increased serum and liver Se concentration within 10 and 20 days, respectively followed by a plateau. Whereas the achievement of a maximum whole blood Gpx activity was reached after 3 months, serum Gpx3 activity increased with high variations. Hepatic Gpx activity reached a maximum during days 100–200, decreasing thereafter. Distinct group differences in Se and cytosolic Gpx activity were evident in all organs (except Se in kidney). TrxR and Dio1 activity was affected only in the liver. The Se? sheep showed an ongoing decrease in serum Se concentration within 2 years, whereas liver Se remained almost unaffected. High relative Gpx1 mRNA expression in the Se+ group was consensual to high hepatic Gpx activity. Relative mRNA expression of hepatic aGST1 was higher in the Se? sheep. Clinical signs and abnormalities in routine biochemistry were absent.In summary, the best biomarker of Se deprivation and nutritional Se upgrade, respectively was Se in serum. Moreover, hepatic Se concentrations reliably reflected the upgrade of Se supply within days. Whole blood Gpx reacts slowly depending on newly formed erythrocytes restricting its diagnostic use. Vital organs are affected by Se deficiency due to a decrease of cytosolic Gpx activity attenuating the antioxidative system. Cellular up-regulation of aGST1 mRNA expression in the Se? group is assumed to partially compensate for the decreased antioxidant defence due to a loss in Gpx activity. This sheep model appears advantageous for long-term studies on sub-clinical metabolic effects in experimental modifiable nutritional Se supply. 相似文献

Mutations of the monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8) cause a severe X-linked intellectual deficit and neurological impairment. MCT8 is a specific thyroid hormone (T4 and T3) transporter and the patients also present unusual abnormalities in the serum profile of thyroid hormone concentrations due to altered secretion and metabolism of T4 and T3. Given the role of thyroid hormones in brain development, it is thought that the neurological impairment is due to restricted transport of thyroid hormones to the target neurons. In this work we have investigated cerebral metabolism in mice with Mct8 deficiency. Adult male mice were infused for 30 minutes with (1-13C) glucose and brain extracts prepared and analyzed by 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Genetic inactivation of Mct8 resulted in increased oxidative metabolism as reflected by increased glutamate C4 enrichment, and of glutamatergic and GABAergic neurotransmissions as observed by the increases in glutamine C4 and GABA C2 enrichments, respectively. These changes were distinct to those produced by hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. Similar increments in glutamate C4 enrichment and GABAergic neurotransmission were observed in the combined inactivation of Mct8 and D2, indicating that the increased neurotransmission and metabolic activity were not due to increased production of cerebral T3 by the D2-encoded type 2 deiodinase. In conclusion, Mct8 deficiency has important metabolic consequences in the brain that could not be correlated with deficiency or excess of thyroid hormone supply to the brain during adulthood. 相似文献
