Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element for selenoprotein biosynthesis. Selenoproteins have been implicated in cancer risk and tumor development. Selenoprotein P (SePP) serves as the major Se transport protein in blood and as reliable biomarker of Se status in marginally supplied individuals. Among the different malignancies, renal cancer is characterized by a high mortality rate. In this study, we aimed to analyze the Se status in renal cell cancer (RCC) patients and whether it correlates to cancer-specific mortality. To this end, serum samples of RCC patients (n = 41) and controls (n = 21) were retrospectively analyzed. Serum Se and SePP concentrations were measured by X-ray fluorescence and an immunoassay, respectively. Clinical and survival data were compared to serum Se and SePP concentrations as markers of Se status by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses. In our patients, higher tumor grade and tumor stage at diagnosis correlated to lower SePP and Se concentrations. Kaplan-Meier analyses indicated that low Se status at diagnosis (SePP<2.4 mg/l, bottom tertile of patient group) was associated with a poor 5-year survival rate of 20% only. We conclude that SePP and Se concentrations are of prognostic value in RCC and may serve as additional diagnostic biomarkers identifying a Se deficit in kidney cancer patients potentially affecting therapy regimen. As poor Se status was indicative of high mortality odds, we speculate that an adjuvant Se supplementation of Se-deficient RCC patients might be beneficial in order to stabilize their selenoprotein expression hopefully prolonging their survival. However, this assumption needs to be rigorously tested in prospective clinical trials. 相似文献

Selenium (Se) is a trace element with important roles in human health. Several selenoproteins have essential functions in development. However, the cellular and tissue distribution of Se remains largely unknown because of the lack of analytical techniques that image this element with sufficient sensitivity and resolution. Herein, we report that X-ray fluorescence microscopy (XFM) can be used to visualize and quantify the tissue, cellular, and subcellular topography of Se. We applied this technique to characterize the role of Se in spermatogenesis and identified a dramatic Se enrichment specifically in late spermatids, a pattern that was not seen in any other elemental maps. This enrichment was due to elevated levels of the mitochondrial form of glutathione peroxidase 4 and was fully dependent on the supplies of Se by selenoprotein P. High-resolution scans revealed that Se concentrated near the lumen side of elongating spermatids, where structural components of sperm are formed. During spermatogenesis, maximal Se associated with decreased phosphorus, whereas Zn did not change. In sperm, Se was primarily in the midpiece and colocalized with Cu and Fe. XFM allowed quantification of Se in the midpiece (0.8 fg) and head (0.2 fg) of individual sperm cells, revealing the ability of sperm cells to handle the amounts of this element well above its toxic levels. Overall, the use of XFM allowed visualization of tissue and cellular Se and provided important insights in the role of this and other trace elements in spermatogenesis. 相似文献

It is known that certain trace elements can affect various heart diseases. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the changes in concentrations of certain serum trace elements in patients with chronic rheumatic heart disease (RHD). Serum analysis of selenium (Se), zinc (Zn), and copper (Cu) trace elements was assayed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. RHD patients had significantly lower serum concentrations of Se and Zn than control subjects (p < 0.05 and p < 0.001, respectively). However, the serum Cu concentration was significantly higher in RHD patients than in controls (1.93 +/- 0.59 microg/L vs 1.06 +/- 0.29 microg/L; p < 0.001). Similarly, the Cu/Zn ratio in RHD patients was higher than in control subjects (4.70 +/- 0.92 vs 1.68 +/- 0.45; p < 0.001). Additionally, no significant correlation was found among these trace element concentrations and the functional capacity classes (p > 0.05). RHD patients had decreased serum Se and Zn element concentrations and increased serum Cu element concentration. We suggest that Se and Zn deficiency might be contributory factors in the development of rheumatic heart disease, and a high Cu concentration and a high Cu/Zn ratio might reflect an ongoing inflammatory process in this disease. 相似文献

Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element in animal nutrition, and exerts multiple actions related to animal production, fertility and disease prevention. Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) enzyme was the first proven selenoenzyme that can prevent oxidative damage of the cellular membrane. Actually more than 30 selenoenzymes have been described and a hierarchy process for expression in the animal has been established. White muscle disease (WMD) was the first recognized condition associated with Se deficiency. WMD causes new born mortality, especially in ruminants, and impaired production condition in growing and adult animals. Selenium is critical to thyroid hormone synthesis and it is also very important for converting T4 (thyroxin inactive form) to T3 (active form). A good immune response requires Se too. Selenium status in soil, plants and animal blood and tissue can be used in the diagnosis of Se deficiency. Diverse forms of Se supplements are available, but many factors affect their activity and efficacy, such as its chemical form and animal's health and production condition. The relationships between foetus Se metabolism and pregnant dam Se status are critical for productivity and need further research. 相似文献

Selenium (Se), a trace element, has evolved from its toxic properties to an essential element. Se was known a potent antioxidant through glutathione peroxidase (selenium being part of this molecule). Later, many other selenium-binding proteins were discovered and their functions were tried to be known with unsuccessful results in many cases. Se is known to be involved in carcinogenesis, immune function, male reproduction, cardiovascular diseases etc. The specific mechanism of the involvement of the element is still not known. Recent research with application of modern research tools viz. bioinformatics, cDNA microarray and transgenesis have revealed the mechanism of selenium involvement in various processes. This review highlights mysterious and useful roles of selenium in biological processes. 相似文献

Peritoneal implantation of cancer cells, particularly postoperative seeding metastasis, frequently occurs in patients with primary tumors in the stomach, colon, liver, and ovary. Peritoneal carcinomatosis is associated with poor prognosis. In this work, we evaluated the prophylactic effect of intraperitoneal administration of selenium (Se), an essential trace element and a putative chemopreventive agent, on peritoneal implantation of cancer cells. Elemental Se nanoparticles were injected into the abdominal cavity of mice, into which highly malignant H22 hepatocarcinoma cells had previously been inoculated. Se concentrations in the cancer cells and tissues, as well as the efficacy of proliferation inhibition and safety, were evaluated. Se was mainly concentrated in cancer cells compared to Se retention in normal tissues, showing at least an order of magnitude difference between the drug target cells (the H22 cells) and the well-recognized toxicity target of Se (the liver). Such a favorable selective distribution resulted in strong proliferation suppression without perceived host toxicity. The mechanism of action of the Se nanoparticle-triggered cytotoxicity was associated with Se-mediated production of reactive oxygen species, which impaired the glutathione and thioredoxin systems. Our results suggest that intraperitoneal administration of Se is a safe and effective means of preventing growth of cancer cells in the peritoneal cavity for the above-mentioned high-risk populations. 相似文献

Although the connection between aluminum intoxication and dialysis dementia was identified in the 1980s, understanding of
trace element imbalances in hemodialysis patients is as yet incomplete. Recent application of newer inductively coupled plasma-mass
spectrometry (ICP/MS) techniques has resulted in renewed study of this population. We used ICP/MS to evaluate serum concentrations
of Cu, Se, Zn, Mn, and Ni in a relatively large population of hemodialysis patients compared with healthy age-matched controls.
Comparison were also done by duration of hemodialysis treatment to see whether length of treatment correlates with severity
of imbalance. Patients had significantly lower concentrations of the three elements Se, Zn, and Mn. Patients had significantly
higher concentrations of Ni, and there was a positive correlation between duration and severity of imbalance for this one
element. There was no difference in Cu concentrations between patients and controls. Our findings confirm relative Ni excess
and deficiencies of Se, Zn, and Mn in hemodialysis patients, documenting the value of ICP/MS in research work on trace element
imbalances as well as clinical monitoring of individual patients. 相似文献

Trace elements are involved in chronic liver diseases because these elements may have a direct hepatic toxicity or may be decreased as a consequence of the impaired liver function, particularly in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis and/or malnutrition. In this study, we determined plasma and erythrocytes trace elements in 50 inpatients with nonalcoholic chronic liver disease (11 with biopsy-proven chronic hepatitis, 39 with cirrhosis [16 in stage A according to Child-Pugh criteria, 23 Child B+C]), and in a control group of 10 healthy subjects by the proton induced x-ray emission method. The relationship between trace element concentration and the extent of liver damage, the nutritional status (by anthropometric evaluations), and various blood markers of oxidative stress--reduced glutathione, total lipoperoxides and malonyldialdehyde--was investigated. We found that cirrhotics had a significant decrease of Fe, Zn, Se, and GSH levels in the plasma and of GSH and Se in the erythrocytes with respect to the control and chronic hepatitis groups. GSH levels were related to the degree of liver damage; a significant direct correlation was observed among Se, Zn, and GSH plasma values and between GSH and Se in the erythrocytes. The trace element decrease was, on the contrary, independent of the degree of liver function impairment and only partially affected by the nutritional status. Data indicate that liver cirrhosis, even if not alcohol related, induces a decrease of Se and Zn and that, in these patients, an oxidative stress is present, as documented by the significant correlation between Se and GSH. The plasma Br level was higher in cirrhotics with respect to the control and chronic hepatitis groups. 相似文献

Cervical cancer is a leading cause of death by cancer among women worldwide. It is necessary to develop and refine cervical cancer models to more accurately reflect human tumor type. The relevance of cervical cancer to trace element was studied in this paper. By means of quantitative trace element analysis in models and patients with cervical cancer, the tissue and serum levels of trace elements in papillomaviruses-induced cancer models were more similar to that of patients than the levels in models induced by HeLa cell and methylcholanthrene. The results reflect papillomaviruses model most accurately mimic in vivo carcinogenesis of patients with cervical cancer. It will have a superior predictive value over HeLa cell and methylcholanthrene models in pre-clinical trials. The papillomaviruses-induced cervical cancer can provide more reliable models for testing the efficacy of drugs in treating human cancers. 相似文献

Selenium (Se) is considered an essential trace element for animals because of its nutritional and clinical value, including
its special relevance in cancer prevention, and thus Se is at present used in biofortification programmes. However, possible
effects of Se application on S metabolism and plant growth are still not clear. Thus, we analysed the effect that Se application
in two different forms (selenate versus selenite) exerts on the S metabolism in lettuce plants grown for 66 days. Our results
indicate that the application of selenite as opposed to selenate does not affect the foliar concentration of S. With respect
to different enzymes in charge of sulphate (SO42−) assimilation, the ATP-sulphurylase activity varies only with the application of different rates of selenate, while the activity
of O-acetylserine(thiol)lyase (OAS-TL) and serine-acetyltransferase (SAT) increase in activity mainly when selenite is applied.
Finally, the concentration of cysteine (Cys) and total thiols (SH-total), fundamentally in the selenate treatments, increased
with shoot biomass. In conclusion, this study confirms that the form and application rate of Se affects S assimilation, selenate
being the more suitable form to improve effectiveness of the biofortification programme with this trace element. 相似文献

Trace element concentrations in body tissues of healthy centenarians have not been widely analyzed, yet they can be used as
reference data leading to improved assessment of the aging process and monitoring of the micronutrient status of this age
group. The present study sought to assess trace element concentrations and behaviors in the fingernails of healthy Chinese
centenarians. The effects of gender on element concentrations, which also play an important role in determining the lifespan,
were also investigated. Trace elements (Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Li, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Se, Sr, and Zn) in the fingernails of
78 healthy Chinese centenarians were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The overall reference values
obtained in milligram per kilogram are as follows: Ba, 5.10; Cd, 0.031; Co, 0.101; Cr, 0.82; Cu, 3.71; Fe, 154.35; Li, 0.31;
Mn, 3.09; Mo, 0.040; Ni, 0.95; Pb, 1.86; Se, 0.44; Sr, 6.20; and Zn, 147.96. Data analysis showed that only Cr and Se concentrations
show a normal distribution, and no significant difference between male and female groups was found for any element except
Cr. Result also revealed that sufficient Se, Co, and Zn as well as lower or lack of exposure to Cr contribute positively to
the lifespan of centenarians. The results suggest that regulating in vivo contents of trace elements, especially Se, Co, and
Zn, is reasonable to intervene with geriatric diseases. 相似文献

Obesity is a multifactorial disease developing following impairment of the energy balance. The endocrine system is known to be affected by the condition. Serum thyroid hormones and trace element levels have been shown to be affected in obese children. Changes in serum thyroid hormones may result from alterations occurring in serum trace element levels. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether or not changes in serum thyroid hormone levels in children with exogenous obesity are associated with changes in trace element levels. Eighty-five children diagnosed with exogenous obesity constituted the study group, and 24 age- and sex-matched healthy children made up the control group. Serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (fT4), free triiodothyronine (fT3), thyroglobulin (TG), selenium (Se), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and manganese (Mn) levels in the study group were measured before and at the third and sixth months of treatment, and once only in the control group. Pretreatment fT4 levels in the study group rose significantly by the sixth month (p?=?0.006). Zn levels in the patient group were significantly low compared to the control group (p?=?0.009). Mn and Se levels in the obese children before and at the third and sixth months of treatment were significantly higher than those of the control group (p?=?0.001, p?=?0.001). In conclusion, fT4, Zn, Cu, Mn, and Se levels are significantly affected in children diagnosed with exogenous obesity. The change in serum fT4 levels is not associated with changes in trace element concentrations. 相似文献

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) in macrophages. These molecules are involved in inflammation associated with endotoxic shock. Selenium (Se), a biologically essential trace element, modulates the functions of many regulatory proteins involved in signal transduction and affects a variety of cellular activities, including cell growth and survival. We demonstrate that Se attenuated LPS-induced ROS and NO production in murine macrophage cultures in vitro. This Se-decreased production of NO was demonstrated by decreases in both mRNA and protein expression for inducible NO synthase (iNOS). The preventive effects of Se on iNOS were p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase- and nuclear factor-kappaB-dependent. Se specifically blocked the LPS-induced activation of p38 but not that of c-jun-N-terminal kinase and extracellular signal-regulated kinase; the p38-specific pathway was confirmed using p38 inhibitor SB 203580. These results suggest that the mechanism by which Se may act as an anti-inflammatory agent and that Se may be considered as a possible preventive intervention for endotoxemia, particularly in Se-deficient locations. However, the efficacy and safety of Se need to be further investigated, because long-term intake > 0.4 mg Se/day in adults can produce adverse effects. 相似文献

Acrylamide is an organic chemical which occurs in foods widespreadly consumed in diets worldwide. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the serum trace element levels (Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, Cr, Se, Co, Ni, V, As, Mg, P, Li, K, Al) in Wistar rats exposed to acrylamide. Acrylamide was administered to the treatment groups at 2 and 5 mg/kg?body weight (bw)/day via drinking water for 90 days. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry was used for the determination of serum trace element concentrations. Serum Zn, Se, Co, V and Mg concentrations of 5 mg/kg bw/day acrylamide-treated male rats were lower, whereas serum As concentration was higher than the same parameters of the controls rats. Similarly, serum Zn, Se, Co, V and Mg concentrations were decreased in 5 mg/kg?bw/day acrylamide-treated female rats compared with control rats. On the other hand, there were no significant differences between serum Fe, Cu, Mn, Cr, Ni, P, Li, K and Al concentrations of all groups. The results from this study provide evidence that dietary acrylamide intake adversely affects the serum trace elements status. 相似文献

The total reflection x-ray fluorescence method (TRXRF) has been employed to determine of P, S, K, Ca, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu,
Zn, Se, Rb, Sr, and Pb concentration in the benign breast tumor tissue from 68 women and in the cancerous breast tissue from
26 women. Concentrations of most of elements show enhancement in cancerous breast tissue. Examined elements compete for binding
sites in the cell, change its enzymatic activity, and exert direct or indirect action on the carcinogenic process accelerating
the growth of rumors. Inhibition of enzymatic activity caused by variation in trace element concentrations results in immunological
breakdown of the body system. An attempt has been made to correlate measured trace element concentrations with the clinical
stage of cancer. Physical bases of used analytical method, experimental setup, and the procedure of sample preparation are
described. 相似文献
