Qin D, Luo G, Qin A, He T, Wu P, Yin D. Selenium-phosphorus modified biochar reduces mercury methylation and bioavailability in agricultural soil. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 345:123451. [PMID: 38281574 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.123451] [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: 10/26/2023] [Revised: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
Biochar is a frequently employed for solidifying and stabilizing mercury (Hg) contamination in soil. However, it often results in an elevated presence of soil methylmercury (MeHg), which introduces new environmental risks. Consequently, there is a necessity for developing a safer modified biochar for use in Hg-contaminated soil. This study employed sodium selenite (at a safe dosage for soil) and hydroxyapatite to modify straw biochar (BC) based on the interaction between selenium (Se) and phosphorus (P). This process led to the formation of Se-modified biochar (Se-BC), P-modified biochar (P-BC), and Se and P co-modified biochar (Se-P-BC). Additionally, solvent adsorption experiments and pot experiments (BC/soil mass ratio: 0.5 %) were conducted to investigate the impacts of these soil amendments on soil Hg methylation and bioavailability. Se and P co-modification substantially increased the surface area, pore volume, and Hg adsorption capacity of BC. BC treatment increased the simulated gastric acid-soluble Hg, organo-chelated Hg, and MeHg in the soil. Conversely, Se-P-BC significantly reduced these forms of Hg in the soil, indicating that Se-P-BC can transform soil Hg into less bioavailable states. Among the different biochar treatments, Se-P-BC exhibited the most pronounced reductions in soil MeHg, total Hg, and MeHg in water spinach, achieving reductions of 63 %, 71 %, and 70 %, respectively. The co-modification of Se and P displayed a synergistic reduction effect in managing soil Hg pollution, which is associated with the increase of available Se in the soil due to phosphorus addition. The significantly reduced dissolved organic carbon and the abnormally high SO42- concentration in the soil of Se-P-BC treatment also inhibited Hg methylation and bioavailability in the soil. In summary, Se-P-BC substantially increased reduction percentage in plant Hg content while mitigating the risk of secondary pollution arising from elevated soil MeHg.

Abstract
Natural organic matter (NOM) plays a critical role in the mobilization and bioavailability of metals and metalloids in the aquatic environment. Selenium (Se), an environmental contaminant of aquatic systems, has drawn increasing attention over the years. While Se is a vital micronutrient to human beings, animals and plants, excess Se intake may pose serious long-term risks. However, the interaction between Se and dissolved organic matter (DOM) remains relatively unexplored, especially the reaction mechanisms and interactions of specific NOM components of certain molecular weight and the corresponding functional group change. Herein, we report an investigation on the interactions between Se and DOM by focusing on the mass distribution profile change of operationally defined molecular weight fractions of humic acid (HA) and fulvic acid (FA). The results showed that across all molecular weights studied, HA fractions were more prone to enhanced aggregation upon introduction of Se into the system. For FA, the presence of Se species results in aggregation, dissociation, and redox reactions with the first two being the major mechanisms. Total organic carbon analysis (TOC), UV-vis spectroscopy (UV-vis), and Orbitrap MS data showed that [10, 30] kDa MW fraction had the largest aromatic decrease (CRAM-like, lignin-like and tannin-like) upon addition of SeO2 via dissociation as the dominant mechanism. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) revealed that Se based bridging or chelation of functional groups from individual DOM components through hydrogen bonding in the form of SeO⋯H and possibly Se⋯H and/or attractive electrostatic interactions lead to aggregated DOM1⋯Se⋯DOM2. It was concluded from two-dimensional correlation analyses of excitation emission matrix (EEM) and FT-IR that the preferred Se-binding follows lipid ➔ peptide ➔ tannin ➔ aromatic functionalities. These results provide new understanding of Se interactions with various NOM components in aquatic environments and provide insight for Se assessing health risk and/or treatment of Se contaminated water.

Abstract
We established an innovative and easy-to-use methodology for selenium (Se) extraction and determination from real water samples utilizing a magnetic nanocomposite adsorbent (MNC-SPE) aided by an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) approach. The MNC-SPE adsorbent was fabricated by hybridizing Fe3O4 nanoparticles on the surface of carbon nitride nanosheets (GCN NSs) that were coated with 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ionic liquid (P-IL). A variety of techniques were used to thoroughly analyze the structural and chemical characteristics of MNC-SPE, and appear to have a great number of diverse active surface functional units (imidazole ring and -NH3+). In order to optimize the key factors affecting the Se extraction, parameters including the adsorbent dosage, contact time, eluent type, eluent volume, eluent time, and reusability of adsorbent were extensively studied. The proposed approach was validated under the optimal reaction conditions, and it showed good linearity between 0.15 and 100 pg μL-1 with a significant R2 value (R2 = 0.9994) toward Se metal. Besides, the Se limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) are 0.063 pg μL-1 and 0.147 pg μL-1, respectively. Further, by utilizing tap and river water samples, the applicability of the validated method was tested; the approach showed high Se recovery values in the range of 87.6-115.5% for the spiked real-world samples and the interday and intraday precision (RSD%) values of the approach were 4.8% (n = 6). The MNC-SPE can be regenerated and reused for four consecutive extraction-desorption cycles by employing 0.5 M NaOH eluent.

Abstract
Seleno-Yeasts (SY) used as feed additives are known to contain different Selenium (Se) species. Seleno-Yeasts has been shown, on previous analytical methods, to contain selenomethionine (SeMet), selenocysteine (SeCys), selenate (SeIV) and selenite (SeVI), and various other organic and inorganic Se forms identified but rarely quantified. A new advanced method has allowed elemental Se (Se0), an inorganic Se species, to be quantified, thereby obtaining better insight into the proportion of inorganic Se in SY products. The study aimed to quantify the Se0 in SY products and assess the proportion of inorganic Se in SY. The Se speciation of 13 fresh commercials SY from different suppliers and batches, was assayed for the total Se, inorganic Se species (SeIV, SeVI and Se0), and organic Se species (SeMet and SeCys). Results on total Se were in line with the expected Se concentrations for all evaluated samples. The proportion of Se present as Se0 ranged from 3.6% to 51.8%. The quantity of Se0 in the SY products, added to SeIV and SeVI, indicated an average proportion of inorganic Se of 14.2% for the 13 analyzed SY products. The proportion of Se as SeMet ranged from 19.0% to 71.8%, (average of 55.8%), and a large variability in the SeMet content was observed. The SeCys content was also variable, with an average of 3.8%, relative to the total Se. In conclusion, advances in the analytical characterization have revealed that SY products can have a significantly high proportion of inorganic Se, which could affect the bioavailability of Se from SY supplements and explain their variable and lower bio-efficacy than pure SeMet supplements, such as hydroxy-selenomethionine.

Effects of Selenium-Enriched Rape Returning Amount on Available Selenium Content in Paddy Soil and Selenium Accumulation in Rice. Int J Anal Chem 2022; 2022:3101069.

Abstract
Selenium-rich rape "Selenium Ziyuan No.1" was used as green manure to study the effects of different amounts of green manure returned to the field on the release characteristics of available selenium in acidic paddy soil in southern China, and to analyze the absorption and transformation of selenium in rice, so as to provide a theoretical basis for planting natural selenium-rich rice in acidic areas of southern China. Six treatments with different amounts of selenium-enriched rapeseed returning (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 t/hm2) were set up. Two rice varieties (selenium-rich rice variety Meixiangzhan 2 and common rice variety Zhongguangxiang 1) were selected. The results showed that (1) with the increase of selenium-rich rapeseed returning amount, the available selenium in soil showed an increasing trend. Over time, soil available selenium showed a significant increasing trend, and the content of soil available selenium reached the maximum at tillering stage, and then decreased. (2) For selenium-rich varieties, when the amount of selenium-rich rapeseed returned to the field was less than 15 t/hm2, the selenium content in rice grains increased significantly with the increase of the amount of selenium-rich rapeseed returned to the field, then remained basically stable. For conventional varieties, with the increase of the amount of selenium-rich rapeseed returned to the field, the selenium content of rice grains showed an increasing trend, but the overall selenium content was much lower than that of selenium-rich variety. (3) With the increase of the amount of rapeseed returned to the field, the rice yield had an increasing trend, but the maximum rice yields appeared when the amount of selenium-rich rapeseed returned to the field was 15 t/hm2. Therefore, Se-enriched rape returning could promote the release of available selenium in soil and the enrichment of selenium in rice plants, and significantly increase the selenium content in rice. According to the selenium content and yield of rice, it is suggested that the selenium-rich rice variety Meixiangzhan 2 was chosen and the amount of Se-rich rape returning is 15 t/hm2.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) is a vital micronutrient with widespread biological action but leads to toxicity when taken in excessive amounts. The biological benefits of Se are mainly derived from its presence in active sites of selenoproteins such as glutathione peroxidase (GPx). An enzyme whose role is to protect tissues against oxidative stress by catalysing the reduction of peroxidase responsible for various forms of cellular damage. The benefits of Se can be harvested when proper regulations of its intake are used. In South Africa, Se distribution in people's diets and animals are low with socio-economic factors and heterogeneous spread of Se in soil throughout the country playing a significant role. The possible causes of low Se in soils may be influenced by underlying geological material, climatic conditions, and anthropogenic activities. Sedimentary rock formations show higher Se concentrations compared to igneous and metamorphic rock formations. Higher Se concentrations in soils dominates in humid and sub-humid areas of South Africa. Furthermore, atmospheric acid deposition dramatically influences the availability of Se to plants. The studies reviewed in this article have shown that atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) is the most utilised analytical technique for total Se concentration determination in environmental samples and there is a lack of speciation data for Se concentrations. Shortcomings in Se studies have been identified, and the future research directions of Se in South Africa have been discussed.

Abstract
Hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] is one of the most common environmental contaminants caused by its broad industrial applications. Importantly, exposure to Cr(VI) induces oxidative damage and apoptosis in animal cells. Studies have shown that selenium (Se) can alleviate the toxic effects of Cr(VI) by functioning as an antioxidant and/or by chelating Cr(VI) into biologically inert complexes, but the underlying mechanism remains unknown. Here, we evaluated whether Se can ameliorate ileum damage and cecal microbial disturbances induced by Cr(VI) in vivo. Mice administered Cr(VI) for 30 days presented histopathological damage, reduced responses to oxidative stress, and increased expression of apoptosis-related genes in the ileum compared with those in the control (non-exposed) group. Se alleviated the histopathological damage and decreased the oxidative stress and apoptosis induced by Cr(VI) in the ileum. In addition, Cr(VI) disturbed cecal microflora, and it was partially reversed by Se treatment. These findings demonstrate that the damaging and potentially pathological effects of Cr(VI) on the ileum and cecal microflora can be effectively alleviated with Se treatment.

Abstract
A successful mushroom enrichment process must produce foods that have compounds potentially absorbed by the human body. In this study, Pleurotus ostreatus and Pleurotus djamor mushrooms were grown on organic substrate supplemented with different Se(IV) and Se(VI) concentrations, and evaluated in the following features: Fruiting bodies morphology; Se uptake and accumulation; Distribution of proteins and protein-bound Se; Se species identification on enzymatic extracts; Se bioaccessibility; and Distribution of bioaccessible protein-bound Se. Pleurotus djamor grown on Se(IV)-supplemented substrate showed the greatest potential to uptake and accumulate Se. For Se species screening, selenomethionine was identified in white oyster mushroom, while selenomethionine, selenocystine, and Se-methylselenocysteine in pink oyster mushrooms. In soluble fractions from in vitro gastrointestinal digestion assays, Se showed high bioaccessibility (>94%). Lastly, bioaccessible Se species were found to be mainly associated to LMW (<17 kDa) in Pleurotus ostreatus (74%) and Pleurotus djamor (68%) grown on Se(IV)-supplemented substrates.

Abstract
Hexavalent chromium [Cr (VI)] is a common environmental pollutant. Although selenium (Se) can antagonize the toxicity of Cr (VI), the specific underlying mechanism has not been identified. To investigate this mechanism, we used potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) and selenium-rich yeast (SeY) to construct single Cr (VI)- and combined Se/Cr (VI)-exposed broiler models during a 42-day period. Broilers were randomly assigned to the control (C), SeY (Se), SeY + Cr (VI) (Se/Cr), and Cr (VI) (Cr) groups. The antagonistic mechanisms of Se and Cr (VI) were evaluated using histopathological evaluation, serum and tissue biochemical tests, real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and western blotting. The results suggested that Se alleviated the morphological and structural damage to renal tubules and glomeruli, while reducing the organ index, creatinine levels, and blood urea nitrogen levels in the kidneys of Cr (VI)-exposed broilers. Furthermore, Cr (VI) reduced the levels of superoxide dismutase and glutathione, and increased the levels of malondialdehyde, in broiler kidney tissues. However, Se alleviated Cr (VI)-induced oxidative stress by increasing the levels of superoxide dismutase and glutathione, and decreasing the levels of malondialdehyde, within a certain range. Compared to the C group, the levels of p38, JNK, p-p38, p-JNK, p-p38/p38, and p-JNK/JNK significantly increased, whereas those of ERK, p-ERK, and p-ERK/ERK decreased, in the Cr group. Compared to the Cr group, the levels of p38, JNK, p-p38, p-JNK, p-p38/p38, and p-JNK/JNK significantly decreased, whereas those of ERK, p-ERK, and p-ERK/ERK increased, in the Se/Cr group. Furthermore, the levels of p53, c-Myc, Bax, Cyt-c, caspase-9, and caspase-3 significantly increased, and those of Bcl-2 and Bcl-2/Bax significantly decreased, following Cr (VI) exposure, while Se restored the expression of these genes. In conclusion, our findings suggest that SeY can protect against Cr (VI)-induced dysfunction and apoptosis by regulating the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway activated by oxidative stress in broiler kidney tissues.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) is an essential element with application in manufacturing from food to medical industries. Water contamination by Se is of concern due to anthropogenic activities. Recently, Se remediation has received increasing attention. Hence, different types of remediation techniques are listed in this work, and their potential for Se recovery is evaluated. Sorption, co-precipitation, coagulation and precipitation are effective for low-cost Se removal. In photocatalytic, zero-valent iron and electrochemical systems, the above mechanisms occur with reduction as an immobilization and detoxification process. In combination with magnetic separation, the above techniques are promising for Se recovery. Biological Se oxyanions reduction has been widely recognized as a cost-effective method for Se remediation, simultaneously generating biosynthetic Se nanoparticles (BioSeNPs). Increasing the extracellular production of BioSeNPs and controlling their morphology will benefit its recovery. However, the mechanism of the microbial production of BioSeNPs is not well understood. Se containing products from both microbial reduction and abiotic methods need to be refined to obtain pure Se. Eco-friendly and cost-effective Se refinery methods need to be developed. Overall, this review offers insight into the necessity of shifting attention from Se remediation to Se recovery.

Abstract
Se is an essential element in mammals. We review how its bioavailability in soil and the ability of plants to accumulate Se in foods depends on the soil Se profile (including levels and formats), besides to describe how the various selenoproteins have important biochemical functions in the body and directly impact human health. Owing to its favorable characteristics, the scientific community has investigated selenomethionine in most nut matrices. Among nuts, Brazil nuts have been highlighted as one of the richest sources of bioavailable Se. We summarize the most commonly used analytical methods for Se species and total Se determination in nuts. We also discuss the chemical forms of Se metabolized by mammals, human biochemistry and health outcomes from daily dietary intake of Se from Brazil nuts. These findings may facilitate the understanding of the importance of adequate dietary Se intake and enable researchers to define methods to determine Se species.

Abstract
Recent evidence from laboratory and epidemiologic studies has shed a different light on selenium health effects and its recommended range of environmental exposure, compared with earlier research. Specifically, epidemiologic studies in Western populations have shown adverse effects of selenium exposure at low levels, sometimes below or slightly above selenium intakes needed to maximize selenoprotein expression and activity. In addition, three recent lines of evidence in molecular and biochemical studies suggest some potential drawbacks associated with selenoprotein maximization: 1) the possibility that selenoprotein upregulation is a compensatory response to oxidative challenge, induced by selenium itself or other oxidants; 2) the capacity of selenoproteins to trigger tumor growth in some circumstances; and 3) the deleterious metabolic effects of selenoproteins and particularly of selenoprotein P. The last observation provides a toxicological basis to explain why in humans selenium intake levels as low as 60 μg/day, still in the range of selenium exposure upregulating selenoprotein expression, might start to increase risk of type 2 diabetes. Overall, these new pieces of evidence from the literature call into question the purported benefit of selenoprotein maximization, and indicate the need to reassess selenium dietary reference values and upper intake level. This reassessment should clarify which range of selenoprotein upregulation follows restoration of adequate selenium availability and which range is driven by a compensatory response to selenium toxicity and oxidative stress.

Abstract
The supplementation of Selenium-enriched probiotics is effective in reducing oxidative stress and maintaining meat quality stability in broiler chicken especially under heat stress. An experimental study was conducted to perform Comparative analysis of Selenium yeast with inorganic Se in broilers under heat stress. A total of 120 broilers chicks of one day were assigned to 4 groups each consisting 30 chicks fed on same basal diet but different selenium sources. The basal diet of group D1 was not supplemented with Se source (Negative control), group D2 basal diet was supplemented with inorganic selenium (Sodium selenite 0.22mg/Kg starter phase and 0.15mg/Kg finisher phase), group D3 basal diet was supplemented with commercially available organic selenium (Seleno-methionine 0.22mg/Kg starter phase and 0.15mg/Kg finisher phase) and group D4 basal diet was supplemented with self-developed organic selenium (Se-enriched yeast 0.22mg/Kg starter phase and 0.15mg/Kg finisher phase). The performance parameters i.e. feed intake (FI), live body weight (BW) and FCR were not significantly (p>0.05) effected by selenium supplementation in the starter phase but were significantly (p<0.05) effected in the finisher phase. Selenium supplementation significantly (p<0.05) effected serum Se level in different supplemented groups. Higher serum Se value (58.20±0.06) was recorded in D4 group. Similarly significantly lower selenium value was recorded for D4 and higher was recorded for D1 (11.36±0.08). However lower serum Paraoxonase (PON) value was recorded for D4 (13.24±0.01) and higher for D1 (13.33±0.03). Comparatively self-developed Se enriched yeast increased the Se accumulation and improved antioxidant system. Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) was found higher in D4 (12.333±0.03) followed by D3, D2 and D1 respectively. Whereas superoxide dismutase (SOD) was significantly lower (p<0.05) in D4 (0.1437±0.003) followed by D3 (0.1457±0.002). Selenium supplementation increased the bird's survival rate. Birds fed on Se enriched yeast showed higher Se deposition and better antioxidant capacity as compared to other sources of selenium. Se-enriched yeast displayed an improved result on Se deposition in tissues, and oxidative capacity, meat tenderness and immune response level as compared to other sources of selenium.

Abstract
Selenosugars are a group of sugar derivatives of great structural diversity (e.g., molar masses, selenium oxidation state, and selenium binding), obtained as a result of biosynthesis, chemical modification of natural compounds, or chemical synthesis. Seleno-monosaccharides and disaccharides are known to be non-toxic products of the natural metabolism of selenium compounds in mammals. In the case of the selenium-containing polysaccharides of natural origin, their formation is also postulated as a form of detoxification of excess selenium in microorganisms, mushroom, and plants. The valency of selenium in selenium-containing polysaccharides can be: 0 (encapsulated nano-selenium), IV (selenites of polysaccharides), or II (selenoglycosides or selenium built into the sugar ring to replace oxygen). The great interest in Se-polysaccharides results from the expected synergy between selenium and polysaccharides. Several plant- and mushroom-derived polysaccharides are potent macromolecules with antitumor, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, and other biological properties. Selenium, a trace element of fundamental importance to human health, has been shown to possess several analogous functions. The mechanism by which selenium exerts anticancer and immunomodulatory activity differs from that of polysaccharide fractions, but a similar pharmacological effect suggests a possible synergy of these two agents. Various functions of Se-polysaccharides have been explored, including antitumor, immune-enhancement, antioxidant, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, and neuroprotective activities. Due to being non-toxic or much less toxic than inorganic selenium compounds, Se-polysaccharides are potential dietary supplements that could be used, e.g., in chemoprevention.

Abstract
Ammonia is toxic to most fish, and its negative effects can be eliminated by nutritional manipulation. In this study, triplicate groups of yellow catfish (0.58 ± 0.03 g) were fed diets supplemented with 0, 0.30 and 0.60 mg selenium (Se) kg-1 diet for 56 days under three ammonia contents (0.00, 5.70 and 11.40 mg L-1 total ammonia nitrogen). The results showed that ammonia toxicity could affects growth (weight gain, feed efficiency ratio, Se contents in muscle and whole body declined) and survival, leads to oxidative stress (total antioxidant capacity, superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase activities declined and malondialdehyde accumulation), immunosuppression (lysozyme activity, 50% hemolytic complement, immunoglobulin M, respiratory burst and phagocytic index declined) and cytokines release (TNF, IL 1 and IL 8 elevated), induces up-regulation of antioxidant enzymes (Cu/Zn-SOD, Mn-SOD, CAT and GPx), cytokines (TNFα, IL 1 and IL 8) and pro-apoptotic genes (p53, Bax, Cytochrome c, Caspase 3 and Caspase 9) transcription, and down-regulation of anti-apoptotic gene Bcl2 transcription. The dietary Se supplementation could mitigate the adverse effect of ammonia poisoning on fish growth, oxidative damage, immunosuppression and apoptotic.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) is one of the essential elements required to maintain human health. Although various kinds of Se supplements are now available on the market, their biological activities and toxicities vary based on the transportation characteristics of Se. In this study, we compared the absorption and distribution of Se in rats administered with different Se supplements: Se-enriched Bifidobacterium longum DD98 (Se-DD98), selenized yeast (Se-Y), and sodium selenite (Na2SeO3). Se-DD98, Se-Y, and Na2SeO3 were orally administered to rats. The plasma Se content at different time points after administration was determined within 72 h. Pharmacokinetic parameters were analyzed to reveal the absorption of Se. Se-DD98, Se-Y, and Na2SeO3 were also repeatedly administered by oral gavage for 30 days, and Se content of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and muscle was determined to analyze the distribution of Se. The results showed that the organic Se supplements (Se-DD98 and Se-Y) were more easily absorbed into the blood and retained longer in the plasma than the inorganic Na2SeO3 was. Moreover, Se-DD98 induced better absorption of Se in plasma than Se-Y did. Furthermore, significantly higher concentrations of Se were found in the heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, and muscle of rats administered with organic Se supplements (Se-DD98 and Se-Y) than those administered the inorganic Na2SeO3. Rats administered Se-DD98 accumulated more Se in the spleen, lung, and kidney than those administered Se-Y, while Se-Y led to higher concentration of Se in the liver compared to Se-DD98. These results suggest that the organic form of Se was better absorbed and accumulated than the inorganic form was. Se-enriched B. longum DD98 induced greater absorption of Se in plasma and accumulation of Se in several organs than the selenized yeast did, which could suggest the potential superior nutritional function of Se-DD98.

Abstract
Cancer residues around the surgical site remain a significant cause of treatment failure with cancer recurrence. To prevent cancer recurrence and simultaneously repair surgery-caused defects, it is urgent to develop implantable biomaterials with anticancer ability and good biological activity. In this work, a functionalized implant is successfully fabricated by doping the effective anticancer element selenium (Se) into the potassium-sodium niobate piezoceramic, which realizes the wireless combination of electrotherapy and chemotherapy. Herein, we demonstrate that the Se-doped piezoelectric implant can cause mitochondrial damage by increasing intracellular reactive oxygen species levels and then trigger the caspase-3 pathway to significantly promote apoptosis of osteosarcoma cells in vitro. Meanwhile, its good biocompatibility has been verified. These results are of great importance for future deployment of wireless electro- and chemostimulation to modulate biological process around the defective tissue.

Abstract
This manuscript exemplifies the prospective use of asymmetrical flow field flow fractionation (AF4) coupled to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) as a simple tool for chemical speciation of selenomethionine (SeMet) in selenized yeast. Several popular sample preparation methods were evaluated for their suitability to determine selenomethionine (SeMet) in selenized yeast by AF4-ICP-MS. These included water, methanesulfonic acid (MSA), formic acid (FA) and alkaline extractions. Alkaline extraction (using sodium dodecyl sulfate buffer) provided the best recovery/determination conditions for SeMet based on analysis of NRC certified reference material (CRM) SELM-1 since it minimized hydrolysis of the protein peptide bonds optimally required for the AF4 separation. The analytical performance of three different AF4 membranes (5, 10 and 500 kDa regenerated cellulose) was also evaluated. No significant difference in the recovery of SeMet was observed when using 5 and 10 kDa RC membranes, whereas the 500 kDa membrane resulted in a significant loss. The proposed method presents appropriate instrument and intra-assay precisions of 4.4-9.2% and 3.8% RSD, respectively, a detection limit of 0.49 μg L-1 SeMet as Se and good linearity with correlation coefficients (R) between 0.996 - 0.999. This is the first report of use of AF4-ICP-MS for species specific quantitation of SeMet in selenized yeast demonstrating its efficient use as an alternative method to other traditional chromatographic techniques.

Front Microbiol 2020; 11:1461.

Abstract
Inflammation is the hallmark of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli-induced bovine mastitis. Organic selenium can activate pivotal proteins in immune responses and regulate the immune system. The present study aimed to investigate whether selenomethionine (SeMet) attenuates ESBL E. coli-induced inflammation in bovine mammary epithelial cells (bMECs) and macrophages. Cells were treated with 0, 5/10, 10/20, 20/40, or 40/60 μM SeMet for 12 h and/or inoculated with ESBL-E. coli [multiplicity of infection (MOI) = 5] for 4/6 h, respectively. We assessed inflammatory responses, including selenoprotein S (SeS), Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), Ikappa-B (IκB), phospho-NF-κB p65 (Ser536), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities. Treatment with 40/60 μM SeMet promoted cell viability and inhibited LDH activities in both bMECs and macrophages. Inoculation with ESBL-E. coli reduced cell viability, which was attenuated by SeMet treatment in bMECs and macrophages. SeMet increased ESBL E. coli-induced downregulation of SeS and decreased LDH activities, TLR4, IκB, phospho-NF-κB p65 (Ser536), IL-1β, and TNF-α protein expressions in bMECs and macrophages. In addition, knockdown of SeS promoted protein expression of TLR4-mediated nuclear factor-kappa (NF-κB) pathway and BAY 11-708 inhibited TNF-α and IL-1β protein levels in bMECs and macrophages after ESBL-E. coli treatment. Moreover, ESBL-E. coli inoculation increased monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), C-C motif ligand 3 (CCL-3), and CCL-5 mRNA expressions in bMECs. In conclusion, ESBL-E. coli induced expression of MCP-1, CCL-3, and CCL-5 in bMECs and then recruited and activated macrophages, whereas SeMet attenuated ESBL E. coli-induced inflammation through activated SeS-mediated TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway in bMECs and macrophages.

Abstract
Since selenium (Se) is an essential mineral, animals must be able to metabolize the various selenocompounds in meat, fish and vegetables. It is unclear how animals, including humans, utilize selenocompound efficiently, but we hypothesized that gut microflora might contribute to these processes. In this study, we revealed that Se-methylselenocysteine and selenocyanate were metabolized to selenomethionine (SeMet) by intestinal microflora, suggesting selenocompounds might be metabolized to SeMet, which can be used by the host organism. The major urinary selenosugar, 1β-methylseleno-N-acetyl-d-galactosamine, was utilized less in microflora-suppressed than healthy rats, suggesting that this sugar can be transformed to a nutritionally available form by gut microflora in animals with a healthy microbiota. We concluded that, in rats at least, gut microflora has a role in the metabolism of Se in the host animal, and this finding might be worth investigating in humans.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Selenium, a trace element, is ubiquitous in the environment. The main source of human exposure is diet. Despite its nutritional benefits, it is one of the most toxic naturally occurring elements. Selenium deficiency and overexposure have been associated with adverse health effects. Its level of toxicity may depend on its chemical form, as inorganic and organic species have distinct biological properties. RECENT FINDINGS Nonexperimental and experimental studies have generated insufficient evidence for a role of selenium deficiency in human disease, with the exception of Keshan disease, a cardiomyopathy. Conversely, recent randomized trials have indicated that selenium overexposure is positively associated with type 2 diabetes and high-grade prostate cancer. In addition, a natural experiment has suggested an association between overexposure to inorganic hexavalent selenium and two neurodegenerative diseases, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Parkinson's disease. Risk assessments should be revised to incorporate the results of studies demonstrating toxic effects of selenium. Additional observational studies and secondary analyses of completed randomized trials are needed to address the uncertainties regarding the health risks of selenium exposure.

Abstract
Selenium exhibits health-promoting properties in humans and animals. Therefore, the development of selenium-enriched dietary supplements has been growing worldwide. However, it may also exhibit toxicity at higher concentrations, causing increased oxidative stress. Different species of yeasts may exhibit different tolerances toward selenium. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to determine the effect of selenium on growth and on the antioxidative system in Candida utilis ATCC 9950 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC MYA-2200 yeast cells. The results of this study have demonstrated that high doses of selenium causes oxidative stress in yeasts, thereby increasing the process of lipid peroxidation. In addition, we obtained an increased level of GSSG from aqueous solutions of yeast biomass grown with selenium supplementation (40-60 mg/L). Increased levels of selenium in aqueous solutions resulted in an increase in the activity of antioxidant enzymes, including glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase. These results should encourage future research on the possibility of a thorough understanding of antioxidant system functioning in yeast cells.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective effects of SeY (selenium-rich yeast) against Al (aluminum)-induced inflammation and ionic imbalances. Male Kunming mice were treated with Al (10 mg/kg) and/or SeY (0.1 mg/kg) by oral gavage for 28 days. The degree of inflammation was assessed by mRNA expression of inflammatory biomarkers. Ionic disorders were assessed by determining the Na+, K+, and Ca2+ content, as well as the alteration in ATP-modifying enzymes (ATPases), including Na+K+-ATPase, Ca2+-ATPase, Mg2+-ATPase, Ca2+Mg2+-ATPase, and the mRNA levels of ATPase's subunits in kidney. It was observed here that SeY exhibited a significant protective effect on the kidney against the Al-induced upregulation of pro-inflammatory and downregulation of anti-inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, a significant effect of Al on the Na+, K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+ levels in kidney was observed, and Al was observed to decrease the activities of Na+K+-ATPase, Mg2+-ATPase, and Ca2+Mg2+-ATPase. The mRNA expression of the Na+K+-ATPase subunits and Ca2+-ATPase subunits was regulated significantly by Al. Notably, SeY modulated the Al-induced alterations of ion concentrations, ATPase activity, and mRNA expression of their subunits. These results suggest that SeY prevents renal toxicity caused by Al via regulation of inflammatory responses, ATPase activities, and transcription of their subunits.

Speciation of Selenium in Brown Rice Fertilized with Selenite and Effects of Selenium Fertilization on Rice Proteins. Int J Mol Sci 2018; 19:ijms19113494.

Abstract
Foliar Selenium (Se) fertilizer has been widely used to accumulate Se in rice to a level that meets the adequate intake level. The Se content in brown rice (Oryza sativa L.) was increased in a dose-dependent manner by the foliar application of sodium selenite as a fertilizer at concentrations of 25, 50, 75, and 100 g Se/ha. Selenite was mainly transformed to organic Se, that is, selenomethionine in rice. Beyond the metabolic capacity of Se in rice, inorganic Se also appeared. In addition, four extractable protein fractions in brown rice were analyzed for Se concentration. The Se concentrations in the glutelin and albumin fractions saturated with increasing Se concentration in the fertilizer compared with those in the globulin and prolamin fractions. The structural analyses by fluorescence spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, and differential scanning calorimetry suggest that the secondary structure and thermostability of glutelin were altered by the Se treatments. These alterations could be due to the replacements of cysteine and methionine to selenocysteine and selenomethionine, respectively. These findings indicate that foliar fertilization of Se was effective in not only transforming inorganic Se to low-molecular-weight selenometabolites such as selenoamino acids, but also incorporating Se into general rice proteins, such as albumin, globulin glutelin, and prolamin, as selenocysteine and selenomethionine in place of cysteine and methionine, respectively.

Abstract
Selenium plays a key role in the proper metabolism of living organisms. The search for new selenium compounds opens up new possibilities for understanding selenometabolome in yeast cells. This study was aimed at the identification of compounds containing selenium in the feed yeasts Candida utilis ATCC 9950. Yeast biomass was kept in aqueous solutions enriched with inorganic selenium (20 mg·L−1) for 24 h. Speciation analysis of the element was performed using the HPLC-ICP-MS and UHPLC-ESI-Orbitrap MS techniques. The obtained selenium value in the yeast was 629 μg·g−1, while the selenomethionine value was 31.57 μg·g−1. The UHPLC-ESI-Orbitrap MS analysis conducted allowed for the identification of six selenium compounds: dehydro-selenomethionine-oxide, selenomethionine, selenomethionine-NH3, a Se-S conjugate of selenoglutathione-cysteine, methylthioselenoglutathione, and 2,3-DHP-selenocysteine-cysteine. In order to explain the structure of selenium compounds, the selected ions were subjected to fragmentation. The selenium compounds obtained with a low mass play a significant role in the metabolism of the compound. However, the bioavailability of such components and their properties have not been fully understood. The number of signals indicating the presence of selenium compounds obtained using the UHPLC-ESI-Orbitrap MS method was characterized by higher sensitivity than when using the HPLC-ICP-MS method. The obtained results will expand upon knowledge about the biotransformation of selenium in eukaryotic yeast cells. Future research should focus on understanding the entire selenium metabolism in cells and on the search for new transformation pathways for this element. This opens up new possibilities for obtaining functional food, rich in easily absorbable selenium sources, and constituting an alternative to dietary supplements based on this compound found primarily in inorganic form.

Abstract
Selenium is essential for humans and the deficit of Se requires supplementation. In addition to traditional forms such as Se salts, amino acids, or selenium-enriched yeast supplements, next-generation selenium supplements, with lower risk for excess supplementation, are emerging. These are based on selenium forms with lower toxicity, higher bioavailability, and controlled release, such as zerovalent selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) and selenized polysaccharides (SPs). This article aims to focus on the existing analytical systems for the next-generation Se dietary supplement, providing, at the same time, an overview of the analytical methods available for the traditional forms. The next-generation dietary supplements are evaluated in comparison with the conventional/traditional ones, as well as the analysis and speciation methods that are suitable to reveal which Se forms and species are present in a dietary supplement. Knowledge gaps and further research potential in this field are highlighted. The review indicates that the methods of analysis of next-generation selenium supplements should include a step related to chemical species separation. Such a step would allow a proper characterization of the selenium forms/species, including molecular mass/dimension, and substantiates the marketing claims related to the main advantages of these new selenium ingredients.
