Synergetic effects and inhibition mechanisms of the polysaccharide-selenium nanoparticle complex in human hepatocarcinoma cell proliferation. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024; 104:5124-5138. [PMID: 38284440 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.13335] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2023] [Revised: 11/01/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Active components from natural fungal products have shown promising potential as anti-tumor therapeutic agents. In the search for anti-tumor agents, research to overcome the drawbacks of high molecular weight and low bioavailability of pure polysaccharides, polysaccharide-conjugated selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) has attracted much attention. RESULTS A novel polysaccharide-selenium nanoparticle complex was produced, in which SeNPs were decorated with polysaccharide obtained from fermented mycelia broth of Lactarius deliciosus (FLDP). Transmission electron microscope, dynamic light scattering, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were utilized to characterize the FLDP-SeNPs; and human hepatocarcinoma cell line (HepG2) was used to assess growth inhibition efficacy. The FLDP-SeNPs that were prepared had a spherical shape with the smallest mean diameter of 32 nm. The FLDP-SeNPs showed satisfactory dispersibility and stability after combination, demonstrating that a reliable consolidated structure had formed. The results revealed that FLDP-SeNPs had notable growth inhibition effects on HepG2 cells. They reduced the membrane potential of mitochondria significantly, increased the generation of reactive oxygen species, enhanced levels of both Caspase-3 and Caspase-9, and led to the nucleus in a wrinkled form. CONCLUSION The FLDP-SeNPs could exert a synergetic toxicity reduction and inhibition enhancement effect on HepG2 cells by inducing early apoptosis, through mitochondria-mediated cytochrome C-Caspases and reactive oxygen species-induced DNA damage pathways. These results indicate that FLDP-SeNP treatment of HepG2 cells induced early apoptosis with synergetic efficacy, showing that FLDP-SeNPs can be useful as natural anti-tumor agents. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) is an endochondral osteogenesis disorder characterised by epiphysis damage and secondary deformable arthropathy induced by multiple external factors, among which selenium (Se) and iodine deficiency are important influencing factors. Iodine deficiency is usually accompanied by a low Se content in the soil in the KBD areas of China. Se can reverse oxidative damage to chondrocytes. In addition, Se is related to the bone conversion rate and bone mineral density. Low Se will hinder growth and change bone metabolism, resulting in a decrease in the bone conversion rate and bone mineral density. Thyroid hormone imbalance caused by thyroid dysfunction caused by iodine deficiency can damage bone homeostasis. Compared with Se deficiency alone, Se combined with iodine deficiency can reduce the activity of glutathione peroxidase more effectively, which increases the vulnerability of chondrocytes and other target cells to oxidative stress, resulting in chondrocyte death. Clinical studies have shown that supplementation with Se and iodine is helpful for the prevention and treatment of KBD.

Preparation of Ribes nigrum L. polysaccharides-stabilized selenium nanoparticles for enhancement of the anti-glycation and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:127122. [PMID: 37776928 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127122] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2023] [Revised: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 09/26/2023] [Indexed: 10/02/2023]
Abstract
Seven kinds of selenium nanoparticles (RP-SeNPs) were prepared by using the polysaccharides extracted from Ribes nigrum L. (RP) as the stabilizer and dispersant. Among them, RP-SeNPs-1 (94.2 nm), RP-SeNPs-2 (101.2 nm) and RP-SeNPs-3 (107.6 nm) with relatively smaller mean particle size exhibited stronger α-glucosidase inhibitory activity than other RP-SeNPs (115.3-164.2 nm) and SeNPs (288.9 nm). Ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, Fourier transform-infrared, X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses confirmed that SeNPs were ligated with RP to form nanocomposites and displayed amorphous form. Electron microscopy images revealed that RP-SeNPs-1 - RP-SeNPs-3 were regular shape spherical nanocomposites with much better dispersion than SeNPs. Compared with SeNPs, RP-SeNPs displayed relatively high thermal, storage, pH and salt ion stability. Moreover, RP-SeNPs-1-RP-SeNPs-3 showed significantly better anti-glycation and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity than SeNPs, especially RP-SeNPs-1 with the smallest particle size. Inhibitory kinetics analysis indicated that SeNPs and RP-SeNPs inhibited α-glucosidase with competitive type and reversible mechanism. In addition, the conformation of the α-glucosidase was changed after binding with the SeNPs and RP-SeNPs-1. Fluorescence quenching and isothermal titration calorimetry assays revealed that these two nanoparticles could interact with α-glucosidase to form non-fluorescent complexes through hydrogen bonding, and the formation was spontaneously driven by enthalpy.

Abstract
Easy recurrence and strong treatment side effects significantly limit the clinical treatment of allergic dermatitis. The human trace element selenium (Se) plays essential roles in redox regulation through incorporation into selenoproteins in the form of 21st necessary amino acid selenocysteine, to participates in the pathogenesis and intervention of chronic inflammatory diseases. Therefore, based on the safe and elemental properties of Se, we construct a facile-synthesis strategy for antiallergic selenium nanoparticles (LET-SeNPs), and scale up the production by employing a spray drying method with lactose (Lac-LET-SeNPs) or maltodextrin (Mal-LET-SeNPs) as encapsulation agents realizing larger scale production and a longer storage time. As expected, these as-prepared LET-SeNPs could effectively activate the Nrf2-Keap1 signaling pathway to enhance the expression of antioxidative selenoprotein at mRNA and protein levels, then inhibit mast cell activation to achieve efficient antiallergic activity. Interestingly, LET-SeNPs undergo metabolism to seleno-amino acids to promote biosynthesis of selenoproteins, which could suppress ROS-induced cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and MAPKs activation to suppress the release of histamine and inflammatory cytokines. Allergic mouse and Macaca fascicularis models further confirm that LET-SeNPs could increase the Se content and selenoprotein expression in the skin, decrease mast cells activation and inflammatory cells infiltration, and finally exhibit the high therapeutic effects on allergic dermatitis. Taken together, this study not only constructs facile large-scale synthesis of translational Se nanomedicine to break through the bottleneck problem of nanomaterials but also sheds light on its application in the intervention and treatment of allergies.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) and its organic and inorganic compounds in dietary supplements have been found to possess excellent pharmacodynamics and biological responses. However, Se in bulk form generally exhibits low bioavailability and high toxicity. To address these concerns, nanoscale selenium (SeNPs) with different forms, such as nanowires, nanorods, and nanotubes, have been synthesized, which have become increasingly popular in biomedical applications owing to their high bioavailability and bioactivity, and are widely used in oxidative stress-induced cancers, diabetes, and other diseases. However, pure SeNPs still encounter problems when applied in disease therapy because of their poor stability. The surface functionalization strategy has become increasingly popular as it sheds light to overcome these limitations in biomedical applications and further improve the biological activity of SeNPs. This review summarizes synthesis methods and surface functionalization strategies employed for the preparation of SeNPs and highlights their applications in treating brain diseases.

Osteogenic and anti-inflammatory effects of SLA titanium substrates doped with chitosan-stabilized selenium nanoparticles via a covalent coupling strategy. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2023; 224:113217.

Abstract
Osseointegration is a prerequisite for the function of dental implants, and macrophage-dominated immune responses triggered by implantation determine the outcome of ultimate bone healing mediated by osteogenic cells. The present study aimed to develop a modified titanium (Ti) surface by covalently immobilizing chitosan-stabilized selenium nanoparticles (CS-SeNPs) to sandblasted, large grit, and acid-etched (SLA) Ti substrates and further explore its surface characteristics as well as osteogenic and anti-inflammatory activities in vitro. CS-SeNPs were successfully prepared by chemical synthesis and characterized their morphology, elemental composition, particle size, and Zeta potential. Subsequently, three different concentrations of CS-SeNPs were loaded to SLA Ti substrates (Ti-Se1, Ti-Se5, and Ti-Se10) using a covalent coupling strategy, and the SLA Ti surface (Ti-SLA) was used as a control. Scanning electron microscopy images revealed different amounts of CS-SeNPs, and the roughness and wettability of Ti surfaces were less susceptible to Ti substrate pretreatment and CS-SeNP immobilization. Besides, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis showed that CS-SeNPs were successfully anchored to Ti surfaces. The results of in vitro study showed that the four as-prepared Ti surfaces exhibited good biocompatibility, with Ti-Se1 and Ti-Se5 groups showing enhanced adhesion and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells compared with the Ti-SLA group. In addition, Ti-Se1, Ti-Se5, and Ti-Se10 surfaces modulated the secretion of pro-/anti-inflammatory cytokines by inhibiting the nuclear factor kappa B pathway in Raw 264.7 cells. In conclusion, doping SLA Ti substrates with a modest amount of CS-SeNPs (1-5 mM) may be a promising strategy to improve the osteogenic and anti-inflammatory activities of Ti implants.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) is a chemical element essential to human health because of its bioactive properties, including antioxidative, anticancer, and immunomodulating activities. Despite the high therapeutic potential of Se, its intrinsic properties of poor stability, a narrow therapeutic window, and low bioavailability and bioactivity have limited its clinical applications. Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) exhibit lower toxicity and higher bioactivity than other Se forms. Herein, we report a green method for the preparation of monodisperse SeNPs with starch microgel (SM) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) through Se-O bonds and polysaccharide-polyphenol interactions (namely, SM-EGCG-SeNPs). SM-EGCG-SeNPs showed higher stability, bioactivities, and cytotoxicity than SeNPs and SM-SeNPs at the equivalent dose. SM-EGCG-SeNPs induced the apoptosis of cancer cells via the activation of several caspases and reactive oxygen species overproduction. This work proposes a facile method for the design and potentiation of structure-bioactive SeNPs via polysaccharide-polyphenol interactions.

Selenium Forms and Dosages Determined Their Biological Actions in Mouse Models of Parkinson's Disease. Nutrients 2022; 15:nu15010011.

Abstract
Selenium (Se), an essential antioxidant trace element, is reported to play a role in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, there is a lack of systematic studies on different Se forms against PD. Our study is designed to compare the neuroprotective effects of inorganic and organic Se in two classical PD mice models and investigate the underlying mechanisms for their potentially differential actions against PD. In this study, different dosages of inorganic sodium selenite (Se-Na) or organic seleno-L-methionine (Se-Met) were fed to either acute or chronic PD mice models, and their neuroprotective effects and mechanisms were explored and compared. Se-Na provided better neuroprotective effects in PD mice than Se-Met administered at the same but at a relatively low Se dosage. Se-Na treatment could influence GPX activities but not their mRNA expressions in the midbrains of PD mice. The enhanced GPX activities caused by Se-Na, but not Se-Met, in PD mice could be the major reason for the positive actions of inorganic Se to prevent dopaminergic neuronal loss in this study. In vivo bio-distribution experiments found MPTP injection greatly changed Se bio-distribution in mice, which led to reversed alterations in the bioavailability of Se-Met and Se-Na. Se-Na had higher bioavailability than Se-Met in PD mice, which could explain its better neuroprotective effects compared to Se-Met. Our results proved that Se forms and dosages determined their biological actions in mouse models of PD. Our study will provide valuable scientific evidence to researchers and/or medical professionals in using Se for PD prevention or therapy.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important modulators of physiological signaling and play important roles in bone tissue regulation. Both reactive sulfur species (RSS) and reactive selenium species (RSeS) are involved in ROS signaling, and recent work suggests RSS and RSeS involvement in the regulation of bone homeostasis. For example, RSS can promote osteogenic differentiation and decrease osteoclast activity and differentiation, and the antioxidant activity of RSeS play crucial roles in balancing bone remodeling. Here, we outline current research progress on the application of RSS and RSeS in bone disease and regeneration. Focusing on these investigations, we highlight different methods, tools, and sources of RSS and RSeS, and we also highlight future opportunities for delivery of RSS and RSeS in biological environments relating to bone.

Traditional Chinese medicine active ingredients-based selenium nanoparticles regulate antioxidant selenoproteins for spinal cord injury treatment. J Nanobiotechnology 2022; 20:278.

Abstract
Background As Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) drugs, Huangqi and Danshen are always applied in combination for spinal cord injury (SCI) treatment based on the compatibility theory of TCM. Astragalus Polysaccharidesis (APS) and Tanshinone IIA (TSIIA) are the main active ingredients of Huangqi and Danshen, and they both possess neuroprotective effects through antioxidant activities. However, low solubility and poor bioavailability have greatly limited their application. In recent years, selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) have drawn enormous attention as potential delivery carrier for antioxidant drugs. Results In this study, TCM active ingredients-based SeNPs surface decorated with APS and loaded with TSIIA (TSIIA@SeNPs-APS) were successfully synthesized under the guidance of the compatibility theory of TCM. Such design improved the bioavailability of APS and TSIIA with the benefits of high stability, efficient delivery and highly therapeutic efficacy for SCI treatment illustrated by an improvement of the antioxidant protective effects of APS and TSIIA. The in vivo experiments indicated that TSIIA@SeNPs-APS displayed high efficiency of cellular uptake and long retention time in PC12 cells. Furthermore, TSIIA@SeNPs-APS had a satisfactory protective effect against oxidative stress-induced cytotoxicity in PC12 cells by inhibiting excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, so as to alleviate mitochondrial dysfunction to reduce cell apoptosis and S phase cell cycle arrest, and finally promote cell survival. The in vivo experiments indicated that TSIIA@SeNPs-APS can protect spinal cord neurons of SCI rats by enhancing GSH-Px activity and decreasing MDA content, which was possibly via the metabolism of TSIIA@SeNPs-APS to SeCys2 and regulating antioxidant selenoproteins to resist oxidative stress-induced damage. Conclusions TSIIA@SeNPs-APS exhibited promising therapeutic effects in the anti-oxidation therapy of SCI, which paved the way for developing the synergistic effect of TCM active ingredients by nanotechnology to improve the efficacy as well as establishing novel treatments for oxidative stress-related diseases associated with Se metabolism and selenoproteins regulation.

Abstract
Osteoporosis, characterized by low bone mass and a disruption of bone microarchitecture, is traditionally treated using drugs or lifestyle modifications. Recently, several preclinical and clinical studies have investigated the effects of selenium on bone health, although the results are controversial. Selenium, an important trace element, is required for selenoprotein synthesis and acts crucially for proper growth and skeletal development. However, the intake of an optimum amount of selenium is critical, as both selenium deficiency and toxicity are hazardous for health. In this review, we have systematically analyzed the existing literature in this field to determine whether dietary or serum selenium concentrations are associated with bone health. In addition, the mode of administration of selenium as a supplement for treating bone disease is important. We have also highlighted the importance of using green-synthesized selenium nanoparticles as therapeutics for bone disease. Novel nanobiotechnology will be a bridgehead for clinical applications of trace elements and natural products.

Abstract
Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs), a novel selenium form, have attracted worldwide attention due to their bioactivities and low toxicity. This study aimed to assess the physicochemical characterization, storage stability, and anti-proliferative activities of SeNPs stabilized by Polyporus umbellatus polysaccharide (PUP). Results showed that orange-red, zero-valent, amorphous and spherical SeNPs with mean diameter of approximately 82.5 nm were successfully prepared by using PUP as a capping agent. PUP-SeNPs solution stored at 4 °C in dark condition could be stable for at least 84 days. Moreover, PUP-SeNPs treatment inhibited four cancer cell lines proliferation in a dose-dependent manner, while no significant cytotoxicity towards three normal cell lines was observed. Comparing with the other cancer cell lines (HepG2, Hela, and HT29), PUP-SeNPs displayed the most sensitive towards MDA-MB-231 cells with an IC50 value of 6.27 μM. Furthermore, PUP-SeNPs significantly up-regulated Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, promoted cytochrome c release, increased caspase-9, -8 and -3 activities, and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage, suggesting that mitochondria-mediated and death receptor-mediated apoptotic pathways were activated in MDA-MB-231 cells. Besides, PUP-SeNPs possessed better anti-proliferative activity than selenomethionine as well as lower cytotoxicity than sodium selenite. Taken together, PUP-SeNPs have strong potential as a dietary supplement for application in cancer chemoprevention, especially breast cancer.

Abstract
Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) are recently emerging as promising anticancer agents because of their high bioavailability, low toxicity and remarkable anticancer activities. However, the effects of surface physicochemical properties on the biological actions remain elusive. Herein we decorated SeNPs with various water-soluble polysaccharides extracted from various mushrooms, to compare physical characteristics and anticancer profile of these SeNPs. The results showed that the prepared spherical SeNPs displayed particle sizes at 91-102 nm, and kept stable in aqueous solution for up to 13 weeks. However, different decoration altered the tumor selectivity of the SeNPs, while gastric adenocarcinoma AGS cells showed relative highest sensitivity. Moreover, PTR-SeNPs demonstrated potent in vivo antitumor, by inducing caspases- and mitochondria-mediated apoptosis, but showed no obvious toxicity to nomal organs. Taken together, this study offers insights into how surface decoration can tune the cancer selectivity of SeNPs and provides a basis for engineering particles with increased anticancer efficacy.
