Abstract
Selenium plays a crucial role as a micronutrient, primarily exerting its biological functions through selenoproteins. It has been established that selenium deficiency adversely impacts cartilage development, leading to alterations in chondrocyte function. In regions with low selenium intake, endemic osteochondrosis has been documented, characterized by compromised growth plate and articular cartilage formation. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) stands out as a pivotal angiogenic factor, with elevated levels contributing significantly to vascular invasion into chondrocytes. This VEGF-mediated invasion serves as a key signal, prompting morphological changes in the growth plate and initiating cartilage remodeling. In animal models, the selenium deficiency group exhibited heightened levels of the cartilage damage marker matrix metalloproteinases 13 (MMP13). This resulted in articular cartilage degeneration, accompanied by a substantial increase in VEGF expression within the growth plate and articular cartilage, as compared to the normal group. In a chondrogenic progenitor cell (CPC) differentiation model, insufficient selenium induced chondrocyte damage and upregulated inflammatory factors such as inducible NO synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2). The selenium-deficient groups showed elevated expressions of VEGF, VEGFR2, MMP13, Collagen X, and Angiopoietin 1, accelerating the degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM), which further promoted the development of cartilage-related diseases. Taken together, these findings provide novel insights for a better understanding of the role of low selenium in cartilage degeneration and angiogenesis. They shed light on the intricate influence of low selenium levels on the development of articular cartilage, emphasizing the interconnected pathways and processes involved.

Low selenium and T-2 toxin may be involved in the pathogenesis of Kashin-Beck disease by affecting AMPK/mTOR/ULK1 pathway mediated autophagy. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 279:116503. [PMID: 38810288 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116503] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2024] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024]
Abstract
Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) is an endemic, environmentally associated cartilage disease. Previous studies have shown that the environmental suspected pathogenic factors of KBD, T-2 toxin and low selenium, are involved in the regulation of inflammation, oxidative stress and autophagy in some tissues and organs. In cartilage diseases, the level of cellular autophagy determines the fate of the chondrocytes. However, whether autophagy is involved in KBD cartilage lesions, and the role of low selenium and T-2 toxins in KBD cartilage injury and autophagy are still unclear. This work took the classical AMPK/mTOR/ULK1 autophagy regulatory pathway as the entry point to clarify the relationship between the environmental suspected pathogenic factors and chondrocyte autophagy. Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the autophagy of chondrocytes in KBD patients. qRT-PCR and western blot were used to analyze the expression of AMPK/mTOR/ULK1 pathway and autophagy markers. The rat model of KBD was established by low selenium and T-2 toxin, the autophagy in rat cartilage was detected after 4- and 12-week interventions. Chondrocyte autophagy was found in KBD, and the AMPK/mTOR/ULK1 pathway was down-regulated. In the rat model, the pathway showed an up-regulated trend when low selenium and T-2 toxin, were treated for a short time or low concentration, and autophagy level increased. However, when low selenium and T-2 toxin were treated for a long time or at high concentrations, the pathway showed a down-regulated trend, and the autophagy level was reduced and even defective. In conclusion, in the process of KBD cartilage lesion, chondrocyte autophagy level may increase in the early stage, and decrease in the late stage with the progression of lesion. Low selenium and T-2 toxins may affect autophagy by AMPK/mTOR/ULK1 pathway.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to construct rat models of environmental risk factors for Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) with low selenium and T-2 toxin levels and to screen the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the rat models exposed to environmental risk factors. The Se-deficient (SD) group and T-2 toxin exposure (T-2) group were constructed. Knee joint samples were stained with hematoxylin-eosin, and cartilage tissue damage was observed. Illumina high-throughput sequencing technology was used to detect the gene expression profiles of the rat models in each group. Gene Ontology (GO) functional enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) signaling pathway enrichment analysis were performed and five differential gene expression results were verified by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT‒PCR). A total of 124 DEGs were identified from the SD group, including 56 upregulated genes and 68 downregulated genes. A total of 135 DEGs were identified in the T-2 group, including 68 upregulated genes and 67 downregulated genes. The DEGs were significantly enriched in 4 KEGG pathways in the SD group and 9 KEGG pathways in the T-2 group. The expression levels of Dbp, Pc, Selenow, Rpl30, and Mt2A were consistent with the results of transcriptome sequencing by qRT‒PCR. The results of this study confirmed that there were some differences in DEGs between the SD group and the T-2 group and provided new evidence for further exploration of the etiology and pathogenesis of KBD.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen burst in articular chondrocytes is a major contributor to osteoarthritis progression. Although selenium is indispensable role in the antioxidant process, the narrow therapeutic window, delicate toxicity margins, and lack of an efficient delivery system have hindered its translation to clinical applications. Herein, transcriptomic and biochemical analyses revealed that osteoarthritis was associated with selenium metabolic abnormality. A novel injectable hydrogel to deliver selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) was proposed to intervene selenoprotein expression for osteoarthritis treatment. The hydrogels based on oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHA) cross-linked with hyaluronic acid-adipic acid dihydrazide (HA-ADH) was formulated to load SeNPs through a Schiff base reaction. The hydrogels were further incorporated with SeNPs, which exhibited minimal toxicity, mechanical properties, self-healing capability, and sustained drug release. Encapsulated with SeNPs, the hydrogels facilitated cartilage repair through synergetic effects of scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) and depressing apoptosis. Mechanistically, the hydrogel restored redox homeostasis by targeting glutathione peroxidase-1 (GPX1). Therapeutic outcomes of the SeNPs-laden hydrogel were demonstrated in an osteoarthritis rat model created by destabilization of the medial meniscus, including cartilage protection, subchondral bone sclerosis improvement, inflammation attenuation, and pain relief were demonstrated. These results highlight therapeutic potential of OHA/HA-ADH@SeNPs hydrogels, providing fundamental insights into remedying selenium imbalance for osteoarthritis biomaterial development.

Abstract
Background: Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) is a distinct osteoarthropathy in China with an unclear pathogenesis. This study aims to explore whether perturbations in the intestine metabolome could be linked to KBD individuals. Methods: An investigation was conducted in KBD endemic villages and fecal samples were collected. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 75 subjects were enrolled for this study, including 46 KBD (including 19 Grade I KBD and 27 Grade II KBD) and 29 controls. Untargeted metabolomics analysis was performed on the platform of UHPLC-MS. PLS-DA and OPLS-DA were conducted to compare the groups and identify the differential metabolites (DMs). Pathway analysis was conducted on MPaLA platform to explore the functional implication of the DMs. Results: Metabolomics analysis showed that compared with the control group, KBD individuals have a total of 584 differential metabolites with dysregulated levels such as adrenic acid (log2FC = -1.87, VIP = 4.84, p = 7.63 × 10-7), hydrogen phosphate (log2FC = -2.57, VIP = 1.27, p = 1.02 × 10-3), taurochenodeoxycholic acid (VIP = 1.16, log2FC = -3.24, p = 0.03), prostaglandin E3 (VIP = 1.17, log2FC = 2.67, p = 5.61 × 10-4), etc. Pathway analysis revealed several significantly perturbed pathways associated with KBD such as selenium micronutrient network (Q value = 3.11 × 10-3, Wikipathways), metabolism of lipids (Q value = 8.43 × 10-4, Reactome), free fatty acid receptors (Q value = 3.99 × 10-3, Reactome), and recycling of bile acids and salts (Q value = 2.98 × 10-3, Reactome). Subgroup comparisons found a total of 267 differential metabolites were shared by KBD vs. control, KBD II vs. control, and KBD I vs. control, while little difference was found between KBD II and KBD I (only one differential metabolite detected). Conclusions: KBD individuals showed distinct metabolic features characterized by perturbations in lipid metabolism and selenium-related bioprocesses. Our findings suggest that the loss of nutrients metabolism balance in intestine was involved in KBD pathogenesis. Linking the nutrients metabolism (especially selenium and lipid) to KBD cartilage damage should be a future direction of KBD study.

Abstract
Selenoprotein I (SELENOI) has been demonstrated to be an ethanolamine phosphotransferase (EPT) characterized by a nonselenoenzymatic domain and to be involved in the main synthetic branch of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) in the endoplasmic reticulum. Therefore, defects of SELENOI may affect the health status through the multiple functions of PE. On the other hand, selenium (Se) is covalently incorporated into SELENOI as selenocysteine (Sec) in its peptide, which forms a Sec-centered domain as in the other members of the selenoprotein family. Unlike other selenoproteins, Sec-containing SELENOI was formed at a later stage of animal evolution, and the high conservation of the structural domain for PE synthesis across a wide range of species suggests the importance of EPT activity in supporting the survival and evolution of organisms. A variety of factors, such as species characteristics (age and sex), diet and nutrition (dietary Se and fat intakes), SELENOI-specific properties (tissue distribution and rank in the selenoproteome), etc., synergistically regulate the expression of SELENOI in a tentatively unclear interaction. The N- and C-terminal domains confer 2 distinct biochemical functions to SELENOI, namely PE regulation and antioxidant potential, which may allow it to be involved in numerous physiological processes, including neurological diseases (especially hereditary spastic paraplegia), T cell activation, tumorigenesis, and adipocyte differentiation. In this review, we summarize advances in the biology and roles of SELENOI, shedding light on the precise regulation of SELENOI expression and PE homeostasis by dietary Se intake and pharmaceutical or transgenic approaches to modulate the corresponding pathological status.

Han J, Deng H, Li Y, Qiao L, Jia H, Zhang L, Wang L, Qu C. Nano-elemental selenium particle developed via supramolecular self-assembly of chondroitin sulfate A and Na 2SeO 3 to repair cartilage lesions. Carbohydr Polym 2023; 316:121047. [PMID: 37321739 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.121047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2023] [Revised: 05/17/2023] [Accepted: 05/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Cartilage repair is a significant clinical issue due to its restricted ability to regenerate and self-heal after cartilage lesions or degenerative disease. Herein, a nano-elemental selenium particle (chondroitin sulfate A‑selenium nanoparticle, CSA-SeNP) is developed by the supramolecular self-assembly of Na2SeO3 and negatively charged chondroitin sulfate A (CSA) via electrostatic interactions or hydrogen bonds followed by in-situ reducing of l-ascorbic acid for cartilage lesions repair. The constructed micelle exhibits a hydrodynamic particle size of 171.50 ± 2.40 nm and an exceptionally high selenium loading capacity (9.05 ± 0.03 %) and can promote chondrocyte proliferation, increase cartilage thickness, and improve the ultrastructure of chondrocytes and organelles. It mainly enhances the sulfation modification of chondroitin sulfate by up-regulating the expression of chondroitin sulfate 4-O sulfotransferase-1, -2, -3, which in turn promotes the expression of aggrecan to repair articular and epiphyseal-plate cartilage lesions. The micelles combine the bio-activity of CSA with selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs), which are less toxic than Na2SeO3, and low doses of CSA-SeNP are even superior to inorganic selenium in repairing cartilage lesions in rats. Thus, the developed CSA-SeNP is anticipated to be a promising selenium supplementation preparation in clinical application to address the difficulty of healing cartilage lesions with outstanding repair effects.

Abstract
Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) is a nutrition-related osteoarthropathy, and selenium (Se) deficiency is an environmental risk factor for KBD. Notch/Hes1 signaling pathway plays a vital role in regulating cartilage, but its exact mechanisms in KBD remain unknown. The Se contents were determined using the hydride atomic fluorescence spectrometry assay technique, and the mRNA levels were detected via quantitative real-time PCR. The chondrocyte injury models were established by Se deficiency and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBHP), respectively; apoptosis and necrosis rates were detected using Hoechst 33,342/PI and Annexin V-FITC/PI. The results showed that the Se levels in the flour of KBD areas were lower than that of the non-KBD areas, and the Se levels in the plasma of KBD patients were lower than that of the controls. The expressions of Notch1, Jagged1, and Hes1 were higher in the whole blood of KBD patients than those of the controls, and Notch1 was negatively correlated with the expression of BCL2, while was positively correlated with BAX. In injury, chondrocytes induced by low Se and tBHP, the expression of Notch1, Jagged1, and Hes1 increased, apoptosis and necrosis rates increased in Se deficiency and tBHP groups, while Se supplementation reversed it. Decreased plasma Se in KBD patients may be related to low dietary Se. Se deficiency might be involved in the pathological process of KBD by activating the Notch/Hes1 signaling pathway to induce excessive apoptosis of chondrocytes, the activation of Notch/Hes1 promotes oxidative injury, and Se supplementation could reverse it. The importance of Notch/Hes1 signaling pathway in KBD development will provide a new potential target for KBD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aims to investigate the population status of selenium in Colombia and other associated factors. METHODS Cross-sectional study, in population of urban or rural origin (n=412). Main outcome measures were: median serum selenium, thyrotropin, the prevalence of and positivity of anti-thyroid peroxidase, anti-thyroglobulin, and anti-TSH receptor. RESULTS This study found that 96.6% of the subjects had normal selenium levels, and no significant associations were found between the population median of selenium and overweight/obesity, sociodemographic variables, age, goiter, and thyroid antibody positivity. CONCLUSIONS In Colombia, the population status of selenium is normal, and the geological characteristics may contribute to the state of selenium in this population. However, additional studies are required to evaluate the content of selenium in plants and other foods.

Effects of Selenoprotein S Knockdown on Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in ATDC5 Cells and Gene Expression Profiles in Hypertrophic Chondrocytes. Biol Trace Elem Res 2023; 201:1965-1976.

Abstract
Selenoprotein S (SelS), a member of the selenoprotein family, is mainly located on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. SelS is involved in a variety of biological processes, including oxidative stress, inflammation, glucose metabolism regulation, and ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD). This study was designed to explore the role of SelS in chondrocytes. It was confirmed that SelS is a Se-sensitive selenoprotein in low-selenium rat and cell models. ER stress was not induced in SelS knockdown ATDC5 cells. However, treatment of ATDC5 cells with tunicamycin (Tm), an ER stress inducer, increased the expression of SelS, and knockdown of SelS aggravated ER stress induced by Tm, suggesting that SelS is a regulatory molecule involved in ER stress in chondrocytes. Both osteoarthritis and Kashin-Beck disease are osteochondral diseases associated with hypertrophic chondrocyte abnormalities. Therefore, ATDC5 cells were induced to hypertrophic chondrocytes. SelS was knocked down and RNA sequencing was performed. Bioinformatics analysis of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) revealed that SelS knockdown affected a variety of biological processes, including cell adhesion, osteoclast differentiation, and extracellular matrix homeostasis. Collectively, this study verified that SelS is sensitive to selenium levels and is an ER stress-responsive molecule. Knocking down SelS can cause abnormal expression of adhesion molecules and matrix homeostasis disorder in hypertrophic chondrocytes.

Abstract
Metalloids are released into the environment due to the erosion of the rocks or anthropogenic activities, causing problems for human health in different world regions. Meanwhile, microorganisms with different mechanisms to tolerate and detoxify metalloid contaminants have an essential role in reducing risks. In this review, we first define metalloids and bioremediation methods and examine the ecology and biodiversity of microorganisms in areas contaminated with these metalloids. Then we studied the genes and proteins involved in the tolerance, transport, uptake, and reduction of these metalloids. Most of these studies focused on a single metalloid and co-contamination of multiple pollutants were poorly discussed in the literature. Furthermore, microbial communication within consortia was rarely explored. Finally, we summarized the microbial relationships between microorganisms in consortia and biofilms to remove one or more contaminants. Therefore, this review article contains valuable information about microbial consortia and their mechanisms in the bioremediation of metalloids.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Arthritis is a common chronic disease, and is a major cause of disability and chronic pain in adults. Considering inflammatory responses is closely related with trace elements (TEs), the role of TEs in arthritis has attracted much attention. This study aimed to assess the association between TEs and arthritis. METHODS Concentrations of TEs in whole blood [cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), selenium (Se), and manganese (Mn)] and serum [copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn)] were measured in adults who participated in the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Logistic regression model and Bayesian kernel machine regression model were used to explore the association between TEs and arthritis. RESULTS The levels of five TEs (Pb, Hg, Cd, Se, and Cu) in the arthritis group changed significantly. Three TEs were found to be associated with an increased risk of arthritis: Pb [OR (95% CI): 2.96 (2.18, 4.03), p-value for trend (P-t) < 0.001], Cd [OR (95% CI): 2.28 (1.68, 3.11), P-t < 0.001], Cu [OR (95% CI): 2.05 (1.53, 2.76), P-t < 0.001]. The Relative Excess Risk of Interaction was 0.35 (95% CI: 0.06-0.65) and 0.38 (95% CI: 0.11-0.64), respectively, suggesting that Hg ions and Se ions have positive additional interactions with alcohol consumption, which reduced the risk of arthritis. Subgroup analysis showed that Pb ions and Cd ions were significantly correlated with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. CONCLUSION Elevated concentrations of Pb, Cd, and Cu were associated with increased risk of arthritis. Drinking with high levels of Hg or Se may be a protective factor for arthritis. Future studies are warranted to validate these findings in prospective studies.

Abstract
Background: Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) is a deformed osteochondral disease with a chronic progression that is restrictively distributed in eastern Siberia, North Korea, and some areas of China, and selenium deficiency has been identified as an important factor in the pathogenesis of this disease in recent years. Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the selenoprotein transcriptome in chondrocytes and define the contribution of selenoprotein to KBD pathogenesis. Methods: Three cartilage samples were collected from the lateral tibial plateau of adult KBD patients and normal controls paired by age and sex for real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) to detect the mRNA expression of 25 selenoprotein genes in chondrocytes. Six other samples were collected from adult KBD patients and normal controls. In addition, immunohistochemistry was used on four adolescent KBD samples and seven normal controls (IHC) to determine the expression of proteins screened by RT-qPCR results that had different gene levels. Results: Increased mRNA expression of GPX1 and GPX3 was observed in chondrocytes, and stronger positive staining was displayed in the cartilage from both adult and adolescent patients. The mRNA levels of DIO1, DIO2, and DIO3 were increased in KBD chondrocytes; however, the percentage of positive staining decreased in the KBD cartilage of adults. Conclusion: The selenoprotein transcriptome, mainly the glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and deiodinase (DIO) families were altered in KBD and might play a vital role in the pathogenesis of KBD.

Abstract
Selenium deficiency can affect the level of selenoprotein in organs and tissues and cause inflammation. However, the mechanism of selenium deficiency on jejunal injury in chickens remains unclear. In this study, we established a selenium deficiency model in chickens by feeding a low selenium diet and observed ultrastructural and pathological changes in the jejunum. The expression levels of 25 selenoproteins, the levels of oxidative stress, tight junction (TJ) proteins, and antimicrobial peptides (AMP), as well as the expression levels of factors related to inflammatory signaling pathways, were examined in the intestine and analyzed using principal component analysis (PCA). The results of PCA and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) showed that selenium deficiency mainly affected the expression of antioxidant selenoproteins in chicken jejunum, especially glutathione peroxidases, thioredoxin reductase, and iodothyronine deiodinase, thus weakening the antioxidant function in the intestine and inducing oxidative stress. We also found disruption of intestinal TJ structures, a significant reduction in TJ protein expression, and downregulation of antimicrobial peptide levels, suggesting that selenium deficiency led to damage of the intestinal barrier. In addition, a significant increase in inflammatory cell infiltration and expression of inflammatory factors was observed in the jejunum, indicating that selenium deficiency induces inflammatory injury. In conclusion, selenium deficiency downregulates antioxidant selenoproteins levels, induces oxidative stress, decreases intestinal AMP levels, and leads to inflammatory injury and disruption of the intestinal barrier in the jejunum. These results shed new light on the molecular mechanisms of intestinal damage caused by selenium deficiency.

Abstract
Selenium, an essential trace element for human health, exerts an indispensable effect in maintaining physiological homeostasis and functions in the body. Selenium deficiency is associated with arthropathies, such as Kashin-Beck disease, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and osteoporosis. Selenium deficiency mainly affects the normal physiological state of bone and cartilage through oxidative stress reaction and immune reaction. This review aims to explore the role of selenium deficiency and its mechanisms existed in the pathogenesis of arthropathies. Meanwhile, this review also summarized various experiments to highlight the crucial functions of selenium in maintaining the homeostasis of bone and cartilage.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is an obstinate, degradative, and complicated disease that has drawn much attention worldwide. Characterized by its stubborn symptoms and various sequela, OA causes much financial burden on both patients and the health system. What’s more, conventional systematic therapy is not effective enough and causes multiple side effects. There’s much evidence that nanoparticles have unique properties such as high penetration, biostability, and large specific surface area. Thus, it is urgent to exploit novel medications for OA. Nanomaterials have been sufficiently studied, exploiting diverse nano-drug delivery systems (DDSs) and targeted nano therapeutical molecules. The nanomaterials are primarily intra-articular injected under the advantages of high topical concentration and low dosage. After administration, the DDS and targeted nano therapeutical molecules can specifically react with the components, including cartilage and synovium of a joint in OA, furthermore attenuate the chondrocyte apoptosis, matrix degradation, and macrophage recruitment. Thus, arthritis would be alleviated. The DDSs could load with conventional anti-inflammatory drugs, antibodies, RNA, and so on, targeting chondrocytes, synovium, or extracellular matrix (ECM) and releasing the molecules sequentially. The targeted nano therapeutical molecules could directly get to the targeted tissue, alleviating the inflammation and promoting tissue healing. This review will comprehensively collect and evaluate the targeted nanomaterials to articular cartilage in OA.

Investigation of selenium nutritional status and dietary pattern among children in Kashin-Beck disease endemic areas in Shaanxi Province, China using duplicate portion sampling method. ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2022; 164:107255. [PMID: 35561595 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2022.107255] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2022] [Revised: 04/12/2022] [Accepted: 04/19/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Selenium deficiency is a primary risk factor of Kashin-Beck disease (KBD). This study aimed to investigate whether children in endemic areas could maintain sufficient selenium intake after termination of selenium supplement administration, and evaluate their comprehensive nutritional status and dietary structure. METHODS Duplicate portion sampling combined with a questionnaire was adopted to collect data on categories and quantity of all food ingested in three consecutive days. Occipital hair was also collected to detect selenium content by hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry (HGAFS). CDGSS3.0 software and factor analysis were integrated to assess the children's comprehensive nutritional status and dietary structure. RESULTS This study included 240 sex-matched (1:1) children aged 7-12 years from KBD endemic (n = 120) and non-endemic (n = 120) areas. Overall, 720 solid food, 720 liquid, and 240 hair samples were collected for selenium determination. The mean selenium level in hair of children in endemic areas (0.38 ± 0.16 mg/kg) was significantly lower than that in children in non-endemic areas (0.56 ± 0.28 mg/kg, Z = -5.249, p < 0.001). The dietary selenium intake of children in endemic areas was 40.0% lower than that in children in non-endemic areas (Z = -9.374, p < 0.001). Children in endemic areas consumed significantly less diverse dietary items leading to significantly less intake of multiple nutrients compared to children in non-endemic areas. CONCLUSIONS The dietary selenium intake of most children in endemic areas was less than the recommended amount. The dietary structure of children was undiversified, which limited the intake of multiple nutrients. Therefore, comprehensive nutrition rather than sole selenium intake should be the primary concern in the future.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) is one of the essential trace elements that plays a biological role in the body, mainly in the form of selenoproteins. Selenoproteins can be involved in the regulation of oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, antioxidant defense, immune and inflammatory responses and other biological processes, including antioxidant, anti-inflammation, anti-apoptosis, the regulation of immune response and other functions. Over-loading or lack of Se causes certain damage to the body. Se deficiency can reduce the expression and activity of selenoproteins, disrupt the normal physiological function of cells and affect the body in antioxidant, immunity, toxin antagonism, signaling pathways and other aspects, thus causing different degrees of damage to the body. Se intake is mainly in the form of dietary supplements. Due to the important role of Se, people pay increasingly more attention to Se-enriched foods, which also lays a foundation for better research on the mechanism of selenoproteins in the future. In this paper, the synthesis and mechanism of selenoproteins, as well as the role and mechanism of selenoproteins in the regulation of diseases, are reviewed. Meanwhile, the future development of Se-enriched products is prospected, which is of great significance to further understand the role of Se.

Abstract
Our study assesses the role of a scaffold constructed by co-culture of autologous oxygen-releasing biomimetic scaffold (AONS) and chondrocytes in joint repair after trauma. A composite scaffold structure was used and a scaffold constructed of AONS and chondrocytes was transplanted into
SD rats to create models of patellar cartilage fracture and hip osteochondral fracture, respectively followed by analysis of cell proliferation by immunofluorescence method, osteogenesis-related gene expression by RT-PCR, chondrocytes apoptosis by TUNEL staining. The blank control group and
AONS composite chondrocytes have significant differences in apoptosis and cell proliferation of two fracture types (P <0.05). The autologous oxygen-releasing nanometers at 4 and 8 weeks showed a significant difference in the number of PCNA and TUNEL cells between biomimetic scaffold
and chondrocytes in two groups (P < 0.05). The AONS and chondrocytes were effective for two types of fractures at 1, 4 and 8 weeks. The expression of various markers of intrachondral osteogenesis was decreased and the markers of hip osteochondral fracture were increased significantly
(P < 0.05). Joint recovery was better than patellar cartilage fractures. The AONS composite chondrocyte scaffold promotes repair of patellar cartilage fractures and hip osteochondral fractures with a better effect on hip osteochondral fractures.

Abstract
The mechanism of environmental factors in Kashin–Beck disease (KBD) remains unknown. We aimed to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and protein alterations of selenium- and T-2 toxin–responsive genes to provide new evidence of chondrocytic damage in KBD. This study sampled the cubital venous blood of 258 subjects including 129 sex-matched KBD patients and 129 healthy controls for SNP detection. We applied an additive model, a dominant model, and a recessive model to identify significant SNPs. We then used the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD) to select selenium- and T-2 toxin–responsive genes with the candidate SNP loci. Finally, immunohistochemistry was applied to verify the protein expression of candidate genes in knee cartilage obtained from 15 subjects including 5 KBD, 5 osteoarthritis (OA), and 5 healthy controls. Forty-nine SNPs were genotyped in the current study. The C allele of rs6494629 was less frequent in KBD than in the controls (OR = 0.63, p = 0.011). Based on the CTD database, PPARG, ADAM12, IL6, SMAD3, and TIMP2 were identified to interact with selenium, sodium selenite, and T-2 toxin. KBD was found to be significantly associated with rs12629751 of PPARG (additive model: OR = 0.46, p = 0.012; dominant model: OR = 0.45, p = 0.049; recessive model: OR = 0.18, p = 0.018), rs1871054 of ADAM12 (dominant model: OR = 2.19, p = 0.022), rs1800796 of IL6 (dominant model: OR = 0.30, p = 0.003), rs6494629 of SMAD3 (additive model: OR = 0.65, p = 0.019; dominant model: OR = 0.52, p = 0.012), and rs4789936 of TIMP2 (recessive model: OR = 5.90, p = 0.024). Immunohistochemistry verified significantly upregulated PPARG, ADAM12, SMAD3, and TIMP2 in KBD compared with OA and normal controls (p < 0.05). Genetic polymorphisms of PPARG, ADAM12, SMAD3, and TIMP2 may contribute to the risk of KBD. These genes could promote the pathogenesis of KBD by disturbing ECM homeostasis.

Abstract
Consistent activation and functioning of thyroid hormones are essential to the human body as a whole, especially in controlling the metabolic rate of all organs and systems. Impaired sensitivity to thyroid hormones describes any process that interferes with the effectiveness of thyroid hormones. The genetic origin of inherited thyroid hormone defects and the investigation of genetic defects upon the processing of thyroid hormones are of utmost importance. Impaired sensitivity to thyroid hormone can be categorized into three conditions: thyroid hormone cell membrane transport defect (THCMTD), thyroid hormone metabolism defect (THMD), and thyroid hormone action defect (THAD). THMD is caused by defects in the synthesis and processing of deiodinases that convert the prohormone thyroxine (T4) to the active hormone triiodothyronine (T3). Deiodinase, a selenoprotein, requires unique translation machinery that is collectively composed of the selenocysteine (Sec) insertion sequence (SECIS) elements, Sec-insertion sequence-binding protein 2 (SECISBP2), Sec-specific eukaryotic elongation factor (EEFSEC), and Sec-specific tRNA (TRU-TCA1-1), which leads to the recognition of the UGA codon as a Sec codon for translation into the growing polypeptide. In addition, THMD could be expanded to the defects of enzymes that are involved in thyroid hormone conjugation, such as glucuronidation and sulphation. Paucity of inherited disorders in this category leaves them beyond the scope of this review. This review attempts to specifically explore the genomic causes and effects that result in a significant deficiency of T3 hormones due to inadequate function of deiodinases. Moreover, along with SECISBP2, TRU-TCA1-1, and deiodinase type-1 (DIO1) mutations, this review describes the variants in DIO2 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) that result in the reduced activity of DIO2 and subsequent abnormal conversion of T3 from T4. Finally, this review provides additional insight into the general functionality of selenium supplementation and T3/T4 combination treatment in patients with hypothyroidism, suggesting the steps that need to be taken in the future.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive degenerative disease characterized by cartilage degradation, synovial inflammation, subchondral sclerosis and osteophyte formation. It has a multifactorial etiology with potential contributions from heredity, endocrine function, abnormal mechanical load and nutrition. Of particular considerations are trace element status. Several trace elements, such as boron and magnesium are essential for normal development of the bone and joint in human. While cadmium correlates with the severity of OA. The present review focuses on the roles of trace elements (boron, cadmium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, selenium, zinc) in OA and explores the mechanisms by which they act.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Selenium plays an indispensable role in antioxidant and antiinflammation processes. Oxidative stress and inflammation have been hypothesized to be involved in the pathogenesis of cartilage degeneration. We sought to examine the association between plasma selenium levels and the prevalence of radiographic osteoarthritis (ROA). DESIGN A population-based cross-sectional study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Individuals aged ≥ 50 years were retrieved from the Xiangya Osteoarthritis (XO) Study, a community-based study conducted among the residents of the rural areas of China. METHODS Plasma selenium concentration was measured by inductively coupled plasma-dynamic reaction cell-mass spectrometry. ROA was defined as Kellgren/Lawrence score ≥ 2 in at least one knee, hip or hand joint. The association between plasma selenium levels and ROA was evaluated by applying logistic and spline regression. RESULTS A total of 1,032 subjects (women: 52.5%; mean age: 63.1 years; ROA prevalence: 45.4%) were included. Compared with the highest tertile, the odds ratios (ORs) for ROA were 1.24 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.91 to 1.68) and 1.77 (95% CI: 1.31 to 2.40) in the middle and lowest tertile of plasma selenium, respectively (P for trend<0.05). The results were not changed materially with adjustment of potential confounders. In addition, subjects who had lower plasma selenium levels exhibited a higher prevalence of ROA in a dose-response relationship manner (P=0.005). CONCLUSION This study suggests that subjects with lower levels of plasma selenium exhibited a higher prevalence of ROA in a dose-response relationship manner. However, additional studies are still needed to verify the potential causal relationship.

OBJECTIVE Kashin-Beck Disease (KBD) is an endemic osteoarthropathy, in which excessive apoptosis of chondrocytes occurs. O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), a DNA damage repair gene, plays an important role in apoptosis but the mechanism is unclear in KBD cartilage injury. This study was to investigate the expression and promoter methylation of MGMT in KBD patients and its role in DNA damage and apoptosis of chondrocytes. METHODS MGMT mRNA and protein level were detected by quantitative real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry. Demethylation of MGMT was carried out using 5-Aza-2'-deoxycytidine, and the methylation level of MGMT promoter was measured by quantitative methylation specific PCR. Next, shRNA was used to knockdown the expression of MGMT. Cell viability, apoptosis and DNA damage were determined by MTT assay, flow cytometry, Hoechst 33342 staining and alkaline comet assay following T-2 toxin and selenium treatment. RESULTS MGMT protein expression and mRNA levels were decreased (p = 0.02, p = 0.007) and promoter methylation was increased (p = 0.008) in KBD patients. Meanwhile, MGMT level was upregulated by 5-Aza-2'-deoxycytidine in chondrocytes (p = 0.0002). DNA damage and apoptosis rates were increased in MGMT-silenced chondrocytes (all p < 0.0001). Furthermore, DNA damage and apoptosis were increseaed in chondrocytes treated with T-2 toxin (all p < 0.0001), but were decreased after selenium treatment (p < 0.0001, p = 0.01). Decreased mRNA level and increased methylation of MGMT were found in T-2 toxin group (p = 0.005, p = 0.002), while selenium reversed it (p = 0.02, p = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS MGMT might play a crucial part in the pathogenesis of KBD cartilage injury, which providing a therapeutic target for KBD.

Dietary Micronutrients from Zygote to Senility: Updated Review of Minerals' Role and Orchestration in Human Nutrition throughout Life Cycle with Sex Differences. Nutrients 2021; 13:nu13113740. [PMID: 34835995 PMCID: PMC8625354 DOI: 10.3390/nu13113740] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2021] [Revised: 10/15/2021] [Accepted: 10/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Micronutrients such as selenium, fluoride, zinc, iron, and manganese are minerals that are crucial for many body homeostatic processes supplied at low levels. The importance of these micronutrients starts early in the human life cycle and continues across its different stages. Several studies have emphasized the critical role of a well-balanced micronutrient intake. However, the majority of studies looked into or examined such issues in relation to a specific element or life stage, with the majority merely reporting the effect of either excess or deficiency. Herein, in this review, we will look in depth at the orchestration of the main element requirements across the human life cycle beginning from fertility and pregnancy, passing through infancy, childhood, adolescence, and reaching adulthood and senility, with insight on the interactions among them and underlying action mechanisms. Emphasis is given towards approaches to the role of the different minerals in the life cycle, associated symptoms for under- or overdoses, and typical management for each element, with future perspectives. The effect of sex is also discussed for each micronutrient for each life stage as literature suffice to highlight the different daily requirements and or effects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the protective effect of chondroitin sulfate nano-selenium (SeCS) on chondrocyte of Kashin-Beck disease (KBD). METHODS Chondrocyte samples were isolated from the cartilage of three male KBD patients (54-57 years old). The chondrocytes were respectively divided into four groups: (a) control group, (b) SeCS supplement group (100 ng/mL SeCS), (c) T-2 + SeCS supplement group (20 ng/mL T-2 + 100 ng/mL SeCS), and (d) T-2 group (20 ng/mL T-2). Live/dead staining and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to observe cell viability and ultrastructural changes in chondrocytes respectively. Expressions of Caspase-9, cytochrome C (Cyt-C), and chondroitin sulfate (CS) structure-modifying sulfotransferases including carbohydrate sulfotransferase 3, 15 (CHST-3, CHST-15), and uronyl 2-O-sulfotransferase (UST) were examined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS After one- or three-days intervention, the number of living chondrocytes in the SeCS supplement group was higher than that in the control group, while it is opposite in the T-2 + SeCS supplement group and T-2 group. The cellular villi number in the surface increased in the SeCS supplement group compared with the control group. Mitochondrial morphology density was improved in the T-2 + SeCS supplement group compared with the T-2 group. Expressions of CHST-3, CHST-15, UST, Caspase-9, and Cyt-C on the mRNA level significantly increased in the T-2 + SeCS supplement group and T-2 group compared with the control group. CONCLUSIONS SeCS supplement increased the number of living chondrocytes, improved the ultrastructure, and altered the expressions of CS structure-modifying sulfotransferases, Caspase-9, and Cyt-C.

Abstract
As an essential nutrient and trace element, selenium is required for living organisms and its beneficial roles in human health have been well recognized. The role of selenium is mainly played through selenoproteins synthesized by the selenium metabolic system. Selenoproteins have a wide range of cellular functions including regulation of selenium transport, thyroid hormones, immunity, and redox homeostasis. Selenium deficiency contributes to various diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, liver disease, and arthropathy—Kashin–Beck disease (KBD) and osteoarthritis (OA). A skeletal developmental disorder, KBD has been reported in low-selenium areas of China, North Korea, and the Siberian region of Russia, and can be alleviated by selenium supplementation. OA, the most common form of arthritis, is a degenerative disease caused by an imbalance in matrix metabolism and is characterized by cartilage destruction. Oxidative stress serves as a major cause of the initiation of OA pathogenesis. Selenium deficiency and dysregulation of selenoproteins are associated with impairments to redox homeostasis in cartilage. We review the recently explored roles of selenium metabolism and selenoproteins in cartilage with an emphasis on two arthropathies, KBD and OA. Moreover, we discuss the potential of therapeutic strategies targeting the biological functions of selenium and selenoproteins for OA treatment. Selenium, a micronutrient found in brazil nuts, shiitake mushrooms, and most meats, may aid in treating joint diseases, including the most common form of arthritis, osteoarthritis (OA). In addition to thyroid hormone metabolism and immunity, selenium is important in antioxidant defense. Oxidative damage can destroy cartilage and harm joints, and selenium deficiency is implicated in several joint diseases. Jin-Hong Kim at Seoul National University in South Korea and co-workers reviewed selenium metabolism, focusing on OA and and Kashin–Beck disease, a skeletal development disorder prevalent in selenium-deficient areas of northeast Asia. They report that selenium-containing proteins protect cells against oxidative damage and that selenium is crucial to cartilage production. Further investigation of selenium metabolism may point the way to new treatments for OA and other joint diseases.

Abstract
Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) is a complex endemic osteoarthropathy, which mainly occurs in the northeast to southwest China. Iodothyronine deiodinases 3 (DIO3) is one of the selenoproteins, which is closely related to bone metabolism and unclear to KBD. This study aims to investigate the role and associated mechanisms of methylation and expression of DIO3 with disease severity in patients with KBD. We performed a bioinformatics analysis first to identify the biological mechanisms involved in selenoproteins. The methylation status of the DIO3 gene and DIO3 gene expression, as well as DIO3-related regulatory genes in patients with KBD, were analyzed. We found that 15 CpG sites of six selenoproteins were hypomethylated with 5-azacytidine treatment. DIO3 hypermethylation was associated with an increased risk of KBD and may lead to downregulation of DIO3 gene expression as well as be an indicator of the severity of KBD, which may provide a new insight for gene-environment correlations and interactions in etiology and pathogenesis of KBD.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to investigate the expression of enzymes involved in the sulfation of articular cartilage from proximal metacarpophalangeal (PMC) joint cartilage and distal metacarpophalangeal (DMC) joint cartilage in children with Kashin-Beck disease (KBD). The finger cartilage samples of PMC and DMC were collected from KBD and normal children aged 5-14 years old. Hematoxylin and eosin staining as well as immunohistochemical staining were used to observe the morphology and quantitate the expression of carbohydrate sulfotransferase 3 (CHST-3), carbohydrate sulfotransferase 12 (CHST-12), carbohydrate sulfotransferase 13 (CHST-13), uronyl 2-O-sulfotransferase (UST), and aggrecan. In the results, the numbers of chondrocyte decreased in all three zones of PMC and DMC in the KBD group. Less positive staining cells for CHST-3, CHST-12, CHST-13, UST, and aggrecan were observed in almost all three zones of PMC and DMC in KBD. The positive staining cell rates of CHST-12 were higher in superficial and middle zones of PMC and DMC in KBD, and a significantly higher rate of CHST-13 was observed only in superficial zone of PMC in KBD. In conclusion, the abnormal expression of chondroitin sulfate sulfotransferases in chondrocytes of KBD children may provide an explanation for the cartilage damage, and provide therapeutic targets for the treatment.
