Toxic Kidney Damage in Rats Following Subchronic Intraperitoneal Exposure to Element Oxide Nanoparticles. TOXICS 2023; 11:791. [PMID: 37755801 PMCID: PMC10537166 DOI: 10.3390/toxics11090791] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2023] [Revised: 08/31/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023]
Abstract
Chronic diseases of the urogenital tract, such as bladder cancer, prostate cancer, reproductive disorders, and nephropathies, can develop under the effects of chemical hazards in the working environment. In this respect, nanosized particles generated as by-products in many industrial processes seem to be particularly dangerous to organs such as the testes and the kidneys. Nephrotoxicity of element oxide particles has been studied in animal experiments with repeated intraperitoneal injections of Al2O3, TiO2, SiO2, PbO, CdO, CuO, and SeO nanoparticles (NPs) in total doses ranging from 4.5 to 45 mg/kg body weight of rats. NPs were synthesized by laser ablation. After cessation of exposure, we measured kidney weight and analyzed selected biochemical parameters in blood and urine, characterizing the state of the excretory system. We also examined histological sections of kidneys and estimated proportions of different cells in imprint smears of this organ. All element oxide NPs under investigation demonstrated a nephrotoxic effect following subchronic exposure. Following the exposure to SeO and SiO2 NPs, we observed a decrease in serum creatinine and urea, respectively. Exposure to Al2O3 NPs caused an increase in urinary creatinine and urea, while changes in total protein were controversial, as it increased under the effect of Al2O3 NPs and was reduced after exposure to CuO NPs. Histomorphological changes in kidneys are associated with desquamation of the epithelium (following the exposure to all NPs except those of Al2O3 and SiO2) and loss of the brush border (following the exposure to all NPs, except those of Al2O3, TiO2, and SiO2). The cytomorphological evaluation showed greater destruction of proximal sections of renal tubules. Compared to the controls, we observed statistically significant alterations in 42.1% (8 of 19) of parameters following the exposure to PbO, CuO, and SeO NPs in 21.1% (4 of 19)-following that, to CdO and Al2O3 NPs-and in 15.8% (3 of 19) and 10.5% (2 of 19) of indicators, following the exposure to TiO2 and SiO2 nanoparticles, respectively. Histomorphological changes in kidneys are associated with desquamation of epithelium and loss of the brush border. The cytomorphological evaluation showed greater destruction of proximal sections of renal tubules. The severity of cyto- and histological structural changes in kidneys depends on the chemical nature of NPs. These alterations are not always consistent with biochemical ones, thus impeding early clinical diagnosis of renal damage. Unambiguous ranking of the NPs examined by the degree of their nephrotoxicity is difficult. Additional studies are necessary to establish key indicators of the nephrotoxic effect, which can facilitate early diagnosis of occupational and nonoccupational nephropathies.

Abstract
Previous studies have indicated that exposure to a single toxic metal can cause renal tubular damage, while evidence about the effects of multimetal exposure on renal tubular damage is relatively limited. We aimed to evaluate the relationships of multimetal coexposure with renal tubular damage in adults in heavy metal-polluted rural regions of China. A cross-sectional study of 1918 adults in China's heavy metal-contaminated rural regions was conducted. Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was used to measure the plasma levels of 18 metals in participants, and immune turbidimetry was used to measure sensitive biological indicators, reflecting renal tubular damage (including retinol-binding protein and β2-microglobulin). Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) penalized regression analysis, logistic and linear regression analysis, restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression analysis and the Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) method were used to explore associations of multimetal coexposure with renal tubular damage risk or renal tubular damage indicators. Plasma selenium, cadmium, arsenic, and iron were identified as the main plasma metals associated with renal tubular damage risk after dimensionality reduction. Multimetal regression models showed that selenium was positively associated, and iron was negatively associated with renal tubular damage risk or its biological indicators. Multimetal RCS analyses additionally revealed a non-linear relationship of selenium with renal tubular damage risk. The BKMR models showed that the metal mixtures were positively associated with biological indicators of renal tubular damage when the metal mixtures were above the 50th percentile of concentration. Our findings indicated that natural exposure to high levels of multimetal mixtures increases the risk of renal tubular damage. Under the conditions of multimetal exposure, selenium was positively associated, and iron was negatively associated with renal tubular damage risk or its biological indicators.

Abstract
The deficiency of selenium in dietary is recognized as a global problem. Eggs, as one of the most widely consumed food products, were readily enriched with selenium and became an important intake source of selenium for humans. In order to better understand the speciation and bioaccessibility of selenium in eggs, a simple and reliable approach that could be easily used in a routine laboratory was attempted to develop for analyzing selenium species. Three of organic selenium species (selenocystine, methylselenocysteine, and selenomethionine) in liquid whole egg were completely released by enzymatic hydrolysis and detected by high performance liquid chromatography in combination with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (HPLC-ICP-MS). All the parameters in enzymatic hydrolysis and separation procedures were optimized. The effect of matrix in analysis was critically evaluated by standard addition calibrations and external calibrations. Under the optimal conditions, the spike recoveries of selenium species at 0.1–0.4 μg g−1 spike levels all exceeded 80%. This method was successfully applied to the determination of selenium species in fresh egg and cooked eggs.

Abstract
The selenium (Se) enrichment of yeasts and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) has recently emerged as a novel concept; the individual health effects of these beneficial microorganisms are combined by supplying the essential micronutrient Se in a more bioavailable and less toxic form. This study investigated the bioavailability of Se in the strains Enterococcus faecium CCDM 922A (EF) and Streptococcus thermophilus CCDM 144 (ST) and their respective Se-enriched forms, SeEF and SeST, in a CD (SD-Sprague Dawley) IGS rat model. Se-enriched LAB administration resulted in higher Se concentrations in the liver and kidneys of rats, where selenocystine was the prevalent Se species. The administration of both Se-enriched strains improved the antioxidant status of the animals. The effect of the diet was more pronounced in the heart tissue, where a lower glutathione reductase content was observed, irrespective of the Se fortification in LAB. Interestingly, rats fed diets with EF and SeEF had higher glutathione reductase activity. Reduced concentrations of serum malondialdehyde were noted following Se supplementation. Diets containing Se-enriched strains showed no macroscopic effects on the liver, kidneys, heart, and brain and had no apparent influence on the basic parameters of the lipid metabolism. Both the strains tested herein showed potential for further applications as promising sources of organically bound Se and Se nanoparticles.

Wu VM, Ahmed MK, Mostafa MS, Uskoković V. Empirical and theoretical insights into the structural effects of selenite doping in hydroxyapatite and the ensuing inhibition of osteoclasts. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2020; 117:111257. [PMID: 32919627 PMCID: PMC7501993 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2020.111257] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2019] [Revised: 04/02/2020] [Accepted: 06/30/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
The use of ions as therapeutic agents has the potential to minimize the use of small-molecule drugs and biologics for the same purpose, thus providing a potentially more economic and less adverse means of treating, ameliorating or preventing a number of diseases. Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is a solid compound capable of accommodating foreign ions with a broad range of sizes and charges and its properties can dramatically change with the incorporation of these ionic additives. While most ionic substitutes in HAp have been monatomic cations, their lesser atomic weight, higher diffusivity, chaotropy and a lesser residence time on surfaces theoretically makes them prone to exert a lesser influence on the material/cell interaction than the more kosmotropic oxyanions. Selenite ion as an anionic substitution in HAp was explored in this study for its ability to affect the short-range and the long-range crystalline symmetry and solubility as well as for its ability to affect the osteoclast activity. We combined microstructural, crystallographic and spectroscopic analyses with quantum mechanical calculations to understand the structural effects of doping HAp with selenite. Integration of selenite ions into the crystal structure of HAp elongated the crystals along the c-axis, but isotropically lowered the crystallinity. It also increased the roughness of the material in direct proportion with the content of the selenite dopant, thus having a potentially positive effect on cell adhesion and integration with the host tissue. Selenite in total acted as a crystal structure breaker, but was also able to bring about symmetry at the local and global scales within specific concentration windows, indicating a variety of often mutually antagonistic crystallographic effects that it can induce in a concentration-dependent manner. Experimental determination of the lattice strain coupled with ab initio calculations on three different forms of carbonated HAp (A-type, B-type, AB-type) demonstrated that selenite ions initially substitute carbonates in the crystal structure of carbonated HAp, before substituting phosphates at higher concentrations. The most energetically favored selenite-doped HAp is of AB-type, followed by the B-type and only then by the A-type. This order of stability was entailed by the variation in the geometry and orientation of both the selenite ion and its neighboring phosphates and/or carbonates. The incorporation of selenite in different types of carbonated HAp also caused variations of different thermodynamic parameters, including entropy, enthalpy, heat capacity, and the Gibbs free energy. Solubility of HAp accommodating 1.2 wt% of selenite was 2.5 times higher than that of undoped HAp and the ensuing release of the selenite ion was directly responsible for inhibiting RAW264.7 osteoclasts. Dose-response curves demonstrated that the inhibition of osteoclasts was directly proportional to the concentration of selenite-doped HAp and to the selenite content in it. Meanwhile, selenite-doped HAp had a significantly less adverse effect on osteoblastic K7M2 and MC3T3-E1 cells than on RAW264.7 osteoclasts. The therapeutically promising osteoblast vs. osteoclast selectivity of inhibition was absent when the cells were challenged with undoped HAp, indicating that it is caused by selenite ions in HAp rather than by HAp alone. It is concluded that like three oxygens building the selenite pyramid, the coupling of (1) experimental materials science, (2) quantum mechanical modeling and (3) biological assaying is a triad from which a deeper understanding of ion-doped HAp and other biomaterials can emanate.

Abstract
Despite the wide application of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs), little is known about the specific mechanism of their nephrotoxic effect. We aimed to evaluate the nephrotoxic effects of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) in vivo and the protective effect of ellagic acid (EA) as a silent information regulator sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) activator against the induced nephrotoxicity. Forty male albino Wistar rats were randomly distributed into four equal groups (10 rats each): the control group (oral saline for 30 days), ellagic acid (EA) group (10 mg/kg b.w. EA, orally for 30 days), IONP group (20 mg/kg b.w. IONP I/P injection at the 24th-30th day), and EA + IONP group (10 mg/kg b.w./day EA for 30 days + 20 mg/kg b.w. IONPs at the 24th-30th day). In the present study, the potent antioxidant and antiapoptotic effects of EA were indicated by the significant overexpression of SIRT1 in renal tissues that leads to significant decreases in renal MDA content, P53 protein level and forkhead-box transcription factor1 (FOXO1) expression, and significant increases in renal GSH level, catalase activity, growth arrest and DNA damage-inducible protein 45 alpha (GADDα45), and renal inhibition of apoptosis protein (KIAP) gene expression levels in the EA + IONP-treated group. These results were confirmed by the improved histopathological renal features with EA administration. In conclusion, the present study provides the first evidence for the usefulness of EA as a sirtuin1 activator in the prevention or treatment of renal damage. Thus, EA could be used as a promising therapy for the prevention of IONP-induced nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
Microbes play important roles in the transport and transformation of selenium (Se) in the environment, thereby influencing plant resistance to Se and Se accumulation in plant. The objectives are to characterize the bacteria with high Se tolerance and reduction capacity and explore the significance of microbial origins on their Se tolerance, reduction rate and efficiency. Two bacterial strains were isolated from a naturally occurred Se-rich soil at tea orchard in southern Anhui Province, China. The reduction kinetics of selenite was investigated and the reducing product was characterized using scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy. The bacteria were identified as Lysinibacillus xylanilyticus and Lysinibacillus macrolides, respectively, using morphological, physiological and molecular methods. The results showed that the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of selenite for L. xylanilyticus and L. macrolides were 120 and 220 mmol/L, respectively, while MICs of selenate for L. xylanilyticus and L. macrolides were 800 and 700 mmol/L, respectively. Both strains aerobically reduced selenite with an initial concentration of 1.0 mmol/L to elemental Se nanoparticles (SeNPs) completely within 36 hr. Biogenic SeNPs were observed both inside and outside the cells suggesting either an intra- or extracellular reduction process. Our study implied that the microbes from Se-rich environments were more tolerant to Se and generally quicker and more efficient than those from Se-free habitats in the reduction of Se oxyanions. The bacterial strains with high Se reduction capacity and the biological synthesized SeNPs would have potential applications in agriculture, food, environment and medicine.

Abstract
Background Little is known about factors influencing progression from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer’s dementia. A potential role of environmental chemicals and specifically of selenium, a trace element of nutritional and toxicological relevance, has been suggested. Epidemiologic studies of selenium are lacking, however, with the exception of a recent randomized trial based on an organic selenium form. Methods We determined concentrations of selenium species in cerebrospinal fluid sampled at diagnosis in 56 participants with mild cognitive impairment of nonvascular origin. We then investigated the relation of these concentrations to subsequent conversion from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer’s dementia. Results Twenty-one out of the 56 subjects developed Alzheimer’s dementia during a median follow-up of 42 months; four subjects developed frontotemporal dementia and two patients Lewy body dementia. In a Cox proportional hazards model adjusting for age, sex, duration of sample storage, and education, an inorganic selenium form, selenate, showed a strong association with Alzheimer’s dementia risk, with an adjusted hazard ratio of 3.1 (95% confidence interval 1.0–9.5) in subjects having a cerebrospinal fluid content above the median level, compared with those with lower concentration. The hazard ratio of Alzheimer’s dementia showed little departure from unity for all other inorganic and organic selenium species. These associations were similar in analyses that measured exposure on a continuous scale, and also after excluding individuals who converted to Alzheimer’s dementia at the beginning of the follow-up. Conclusions These results indicate that higher amounts of a potentially toxic inorganic selenium form in cerebrospinal fluid may predict conversion from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer’s dementia.

Abstract
The concentrations of selenium (Se), cadmium (Cd) and diazinon (DZN) in selected tissues of rats after an oral administration in various combinations were analyzed. Male rats were orally dosed with diazinon (40 mg.L-1), diazinon (40 mg.L-1) +selenium (5 mg.L-1), diazinon (40 mg.L-1) +cadmium (30 mg.L-1), and diazinon (40 mg.L-1) +selenium (5 mg.L-1) +cadmium (30 mg.L-1) in drinking water. After 90 days of per oral administration of compounds, the samples of liver, kidney, muscle tissue (m. quadriceps femoris), and adipose tissue were collected. The content of DZN was analyzed using Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), Cd was analyzed using an Electrothermal Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (ETAAS) and Se using a Hydride Generation Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (HG-AAS) methods. Cadmium significantly increased in liver and kidney after DZN +Cd and DZN +Se +Cd administration. Se significantly increased in liver of DZN +Se, DZN +Se +Cd and DZN +Cd exposed rats, in kidney of DZN +Se and DZN +Se +Cd and DZN +Cd, and in muscle of DZN +Se +Cd group. Highest DZN content was found in the adipose tissue in DZN, DZN +Cd and DZN +Se +Cd but not in combined exposure with Se. Anyway, the differences between the control and experimental groups were not significant. The results indicate that cadmium and selenium accumulate mainly in liver, kidney and selenium also in muscle after p.o. administration but diazinon concentrations increases were not signifcant. The co-administration of diazinon, Se and Cd affects the content of these compounds in the organism and the accumulation rate depends on the combination of administered compounds. Diazinon and cadmium could contribute to the selenium redistribution in the organism after the peroral intake.

Serum Concentration of Zinc, Copper, Selenium, Manganese, and Cu/Zn Ratio in Children and Adolescents with Myopia. Biol Trace Elem Res 2017; 176:1-9.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was the assessment of the serum concentration of antioxidant microelements-zinc, copper, selenium, manganese, and Cu/Zn ratio in children and adolescents with myopia. Eighty-three children were examined (mean age 14.36 ± 2.49 years) with myopia. The control group was 38 persons (mean age 12.89 ± 3.84 years). Each patient had complete eye examination. The serum concentration of zinc, copper, manganese, and selenium was determined by atomic absorption spectrometry. Cu/Zn ratio, which is the indicator of the oxidative stress, was also calculated. The average serum concentration of zinc in myopic patients was significantly lower (0.865 ± 0.221 mg L-1) in comparison to the control group (1.054 ± 0.174 mg L-1). There was significantly higher Cu/Zn ratio in myopic patients (1.196 ± 0.452) in comparison to that in the control group (0.992 ± 0.203). The average serum concentration of selenium in the study group was significantly lower (40.23 ± 12.07 μg L-1) compared with that in the control group (46.00 ± 12.25 μg L-1). There were no essential differences between serum concentration of copper and manganese in the study group and the control group. Low serum concentration of zinc and selenium in myopic children may imply an association between insufficiency of these antioxidant microelements and the development of the myopia and could be the indication for zinc and selenium supplementation in the prevention of myopia. Significantly, higher Cu/Zn ratio in the study group can suggest the relationship between myopia and oxidative stress.

Abstract
We explored the synergistic effect of serine combined with several selenocompounds or used alone on the expression of selenoprotein P (SelP) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in this study. We first compared the SelP and GPx expression difference between HepG2 and Hela cells treated with serine and finally chose HepG2 as experimental cell. In the serine-used-alone experiment, three kinds of selenium nutritional models (low-, adequate-, and high-selenium) were established and serine was 10 times gradient diluted (0.01 to 100 μmol/L). In the combined experiment, the selenocompound doses were set as 0.01, 0.1, and 1 μmol Se/L and serine was set according to its molar ratio with the selenocompounds. We found that SelP and GPx concentrations in the low-, adequate-, and high-selenium models increased following with serine dose. When the concentration of sodium selenite and SeMet was 1 μmol Se/L while MeSeCys was 0.1 and 1 μmol Se/L, SelP concentrations for serine combined with selenocompounds groups were significantly higher than that of selenocompounds used alone. When the concentration of sodium selenite was 0.1 μmol Se/L, SeMet was 0.1 and 1 μmol Se/L while MeSeCys was 0.01 and 1 μmol Se/L, GPx concentrations for serine combined with selenocompounds groups were significantly higher than that of selenocompounds used alone. Our preliminary result indicated the beneficial effect of serine on the expression of SelP and GPx, which suggested that it might be a candidate for combined selenium supplement.

Abstract
Electron microscopy was used to test whether or not (a) in statu nascendi synthesized, and in situ measured, nanoparticle size does not differ significantly from the size of nanoparticles after their purification; and (b) the generation of selenium is detrimental to the bacterial strains that produce them. Elemental nano-sized selenium produced by probiotic latic acid bacteria was used as a lactomicroselenium (lactomicroSel) inhibitor of cell growth in the presence of lactomicroSel, and was followed by time-lapse microscopy. The size of lactomicroSel produced by probiotic bacteria was measured in situ and after isolation and purification. For these measurements the TESLA BS 540 transmission electron microscope was converted from analog (aTEM) to digital processing (dTEM), and further to remote-access internet electron microscopy (iTEM). Lactobacillus acidophilus produced fewer, but larger, lactomicroSel nanoparticles (200-350 nm) than Lactobacillus casei (L. casei), which generated many, smaller lactomicroSel particles (85-200 nm) and grains as a cloudy, less electrodense material. Streptococcus thermophilus cells generated selenoparticles (60-280 nm) in a suicidic manner. The size determined in situ in lactic acid bacteria was significantly lower than those measured by scanning electron microscopy after the isolation of lactomicroSel particles obtained from lactobacilli (100-500 nm), but higher relative to those isolated from Streptococcus thermopilus (50-100 nm). These differences indicate that smaller lactomicroSel particles could be more toxic to the producing bacteria themselves and discrepancies in size could have implications with respect to the applications of selenium nanoparticles as prebiotics.
