Abstract
The inflorescence (spadix) of skunk cabbage (Symplocarpus renifolius) is strongly thermogenic and can regulate its temperature at around 23 °C even when the ambient temperature drops below freezing. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying developmentally controlled thermogenesis and thermoregulation in skunk cabbage, we conducted a comprehensive transcriptome and metabolome analysis across 3 developmental stages of spadix development. Our RNA-seq analysis revealed distinct groups of expressed genes, with selenium-binding protein 1/methanethiol oxidase (SBP1/MTO) exhibiting the highest levels in thermogenic florets. Notably, the expression of alternative oxidase (AOX) was consistently high from the prethermogenic stage through the thermogenic stage in the florets. Metabolome analysis showed that alterations in nucleotide levels correspond with the developmentally controlled and tissue-specific thermogenesis of skunk cabbage, evident by a substantial increase in AMP levels in thermogenic florets. Our study also reveals that hydrogen sulfide, a product of SBP1/MTO, inhibits cytochrome c oxidase (COX)-mediated mitochondrial respiration, while AOX-mediated respiration remains relatively unaffected. Specifically, at lower temperatures, the inhibitory effect of hydrogen sulfide on COX-mediated respiration increases, promoting a shift toward the dominance of AOX-mediated respiration. Finally, despite the differential regulation of genes and metabolites throughout spadix development, we observed a convergence of gene expression and metabolite accumulation patterns during thermogenesis. This synchrony may play a key role in developmentally regulated thermogenesis. Moreover, such convergence during the thermogenic stage in the spadix may provide a solid molecular basis for thermoregulation in skunk cabbage.

Abstract
Using high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with selenium-specific inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and molecule specific (Orbitrap MS/MS) detection, we previously found that far more selenium (Se) is present as selenosugar (seleno-N-acetyl galactosamine) in Se-adequate turkey liver than is present as selenocysteine (Sec) in true selenoproteins, and that selenosugars account for half of the Se in high-Se turkey liver. To expand these observations to mammals, we studied Se metabolism in rats fed graded levels of selenite from 0 to 5 μg Se/g for 4 wk. In Se-adequate (0.24 μg Se/g) rats, 43% of liver Se was present as Sec, 32% was present as selenosugars, and 22% as inorganic Se bound to protein. In liver of rats fed 5 μg Se/g as selenite, the quantity of Sec remained at the Se-adequate plateau (11% of total Se), 22% was present as low molecular weight (LMW) selenosugars with substantial additional selenosugars linked to protein, but 64% was present as inorganic Se bound to protein. No selenomethionine was found at any level of selenite supplementation. Below the Se requirement, Se is preferentially incorporated into Sec-selenoproteins. Above the dietary Se requirement, selenosugars become by far the major LMW water soluble Se species in liver, and levels of selenosugar-decorated proteins are far higher than Sec-selenoproteins, making these selenosugar-decorated proteins the major Se-containing protein species in liver with high Se supplementation. This accumulation of selenosugars linked to cysteines on proteins or the build-up of inorganic Se bound to protein may underlie Se toxicity at the molecular level.

Serum Selenium-Binding Protein 1 (SELENBP1) in Burn Injury: A Potential Biomarker of Disease Severity and Clinical Course. Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:1927. [PMID: 38001780 PMCID: PMC10669776 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12111927] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2023] [Revised: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 10/26/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Oxidative stress, systemic inflammation, and metabolic derangements are hallmarks of burn pathophysiology. Severely burned patients are highly susceptible to infectious complications. Selenium-binding protein 1 (SELENBP1) modulates intracellular redox homeostasis, and elevated serum concentrations have been associated with adverse clinical outcomes in trauma patients. We hypothesized that serum SELENBP1 at hospital admission and during hospitalization may constitute a meaningful biomarker of disease severity and the clinical course in burn injury, with pulmonary infection as primary endpoint. To this end, we conducted a prospective cohort study that included 90 adult patients admitted to the Burn Center of the University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland. Patients were treated according to the local standard of care, with high-dose selenium supplementation during the first week. Serum SELENBP1 was determined at nine time-points up to six months postburn and the data were correlated to clinical parameters. SELENBP1 was initially elevated and rapidly declined within the first day. Baseline SELENBP1 levels correlated positively with the Abbreviated Burn Severity Index (ABSI) (R = 0.408; p < 0.0001). In multiple logistic regression, a higher ABSI was significantly associated with increased pulmonary infection risk (OR, 14.4; 95% CI, 3.2-88.8; p = 0.001). Similarly, baseline SELENBP1 levels constituted a novel but less accurate predictor of pulmonary infection risk (OR, 2.5; 95% CI, 0.7-8.9; p = 0.164). Further studies are needed to explore the additional value of serum SELENBP1 when stratifying patients with respect to the clinical course following major burns and, potentially, for monitoring therapeutic measures aimed at reducing tissue damage and oxidative stress.

Abstract
Selenium-binding protein 1 (SELENBP1) was reported to act as a methanethiol oxidase (MTO) in humans, catalyzing the conversion of methanethiol to hydrogen peroxide, hydrogen sulfide and formaldehyde. Here, we identify copper ions as essential to this novel MTO activity. Site-directed mutagenesis of putative copper-binding sites in human SELENBP1 produced as recombinant protein in E. coli resulted in loss of its enzymatic function. On the other hand, the eponymous binding of selenium (as selenite) was no requirement for MTO activity and only moderately increased SELENBP1-catalyzed oxidation of methanethiol. Furthermore, SEMO-1, the SELENBP1 ortholog recently identified in the nematode C. elegans, also requires copper ions, and MTO activity was enhanced or abrogated, respectively, if worms were grown in the presence of cupric chloride or of a Cu chelator. In addition to methanethiol, we identified novel substrates of SELENBP1 from the group of volatile sulfur compounds, ranging from ethanethiol to 1-pentanethiol as well as 2-propene-1-thiol. Gut microbiome-derived methanethiol as well as food-derived volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) account for malodors that may contribute to extraoral halitosis in humans, if not metabolized properly. As SELENBP1 is particularly abundant in tissues exposed to VSCs, such as colon, liver, and lung, it appears to contribute to copper-dependent VSC degradation.

Abstract
Cadmium, one of the toxic heavy metals, robustly impact crop growth and development and food safety. In this study, the mechanisms of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) selenium-binding protein-A (TaSBP-A) involved in response to Cd stress was fully investigated by overexpression in Arabidopsis and wheat. As a cytoplasm protein, TaSBP-A showed a high expression in plant roots and its expression levels were highly induced by Cd treatment. The overexpression of TaSBP-A enhanced Cd-toleration in yeast, Arabidopsis and wheat. Meanwhile, transgenic Arabidopsis under Cd stress showed a lower H2O2 and malondialdehyde content and a higher photochemical efficiency in the leaf and a reduction of free Cd2+ in the root. Transgenic wheat seedlings of TaSBP exhibited an increment of Cd content in the root, and a reduction Cd content in the leaf under Cd2+ stress. Cd2+ binding assay combined with a thermodynamics survey and secondary structure analysis indicated that the unique CXXC motif in TaSBP was a major Cd-binding site participating in the Cd detoxification. These results suggested that TaSBP-A can enhance the sequestration of free Cd2+ in root and inhibit the Cd transfer from root to leaf, ultimately conferring plant Cd-tolerance via alleviating the oxidative stress and photosynthesis impairment triggered by Cd stress.

Abstract
Methanethiol is a toxic gas produced through bacterial degradation of sulfur-containing amino acids. Applying a novel enzymatic assay, we here identified a methanethiol oxidase (MTO) that catalyzes the degradation of methanethiol in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). The corresponding protein, Y37A1B.5, previously characterized as a C. elegans ortholog of human selenium-binding protein 1 (SELENBP1), was renamed SEMO-1 (SELENBP1 ortholog with methanethiol oxidase activity). Worms rendered deficient in SEMO-1 not only showed decreased hydrogen sulfide production from methanethiol catabolism but they were also more resistant to oxidative stress and had an elevated life span. In contrast, resistance to selenite was significantly lowered in SEMO-1-deficient worms. Naturally occurring mutations of human SELENBP1 were introduced to recombinant SEMO-1 through site-directed mutagenesis and resulted in loss of its MTO activity, indicating a similar enzymatic mechanism for SELENBP1 and SEMO-1. In summary, SEMO-1 confers resistance to toxic selenite and the ability to metabolize toxic methanethiol. These beneficial effects might be a trade-off for its negative impact on C. elegans life span.

Abstract
Methanethiol, a gas with the characteristic smell of rotten cabbage, is a product of microbial methionine degradation. In the human body, methanethiol originates primarily from bacteria residing in the lumen of the large intestine. Selenium-binding protein 1 (SELENBP1), a marker protein of mature enterocytes, has recently been identified as a methanethiol oxidase (MTO). It catalyzes the conversion of methanethiol to hydrogen sulfide (H2S), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and formaldehyde. Here, human Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cells were subjected to enterocyte-like differentiation, followed by analysis of SELENBP1 levels and MTO activity. To that end, we established a novel coupled assay to assess MTO activity mimicking the proximity of microbiome and intestinal epithelial cells in vivo. The assay is based on in situ-generation of methanethiol as catalyzed by a bacterial recombinant l-methionine gamma-lyase (MGL), followed by detection of H2S and H2O2. Applying this assay, we verified the loss and impairment of MTO function in SELENBP1 variants (His329Tyr; Gly225Trp) previously identified in individuals with familial extraoral halitosis. MTO activity was strongly enhanced in Caco-2 cells upon enterocyte differentiation, in parallel with increased SELENBP1 levels. This suggests that mature enterocytes located at the tip of colonic crypts are capable of eliminating microbiome-derived methanethiol.

Abstract
Selenium-binding protein 1 (Selenbp1) is a 2,3,7,8-tetrechlorodibenzo-p-dioxin inducible protein whose function is yet to be comprehensively elucidated. As the highly homologous isoform, Selenbp2, is expressed at low levels in the kidney, it is worthwhile comparing wild-type C57BL mice and Selenbp1-deficient mice under dioxin-free conditions. Accordingly, we conducted a mouse metabolomics analysis under non-dioxin-treated conditions. DNA microarray analysis was performed based on observed changes in lipid metabolism-related factors. The results showed fluctuations in the expression of numerous genes. Real-time RT-PCR confirmed the decreased expression levels of the cytochrome P450 4a (Cyp4a) subfamily, known to be involved in fatty acid ω- and ω-1 hydroxylation. Furthermore, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (Pparα) and retinoid-X-receptor-α (Rxrα), which form a heterodimer with Pparα to promote gene expression, were simultaneously reduced. This indicated that reduced Cyp4a expression was mediated via decreased Pparα and Rxrα. In line with this finding, increased levels of leukotrienes and prostaglandins were detected. Conversely, decreased hydrogen peroxide levels and reduced superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity supported the suppression of the renal expression of Sod1 and Sod2 in Selenbp1-deficient mice. Therefore, we infer that ablation of Selenbp1 elicits oxidative stress caused by increased levels of superoxide anions, which alters lipid metabolism via the Pparα pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The broad goal of the research described in this study was to investigate the contributions of selenium-binding protein 1 (SBP1) loss in prostate cancer development and outcome. METHODS SBP1 levels were altered in prostate cancer cell lines and the consequences on oxygen consumption, expression of proteins associated with energy metabolism, and cellular transformation and migration were investigated. The effects of exposing cells to the SBP1 reaction products, H2 O2 and H2 S were also assessed. In silico analyses identified potential HNF4α binding sites within the SBP1 promoter region and this was investigated using an inhibitor specific for that transcription factor. RESULTS Using in silico analyses, it was determined that the promoter region of SBP1 contains putative binding sites for the HNF4α transcription factor. The potential for HNF4α to regulate SBP1 expression was supported by data indicating that HNF4α inhibition resulted in a dose-response increase in the levels of SBP1 messenger RNA and protein, identifying HNF4α as a novel negative regulator of SBP1 expression in prostate cancer cells. The consequences of altering the levels of SBP1 were investigated by ectopically expressing SBP1 in PC-3 prostate cancer cells, where SBP1 expression attenuated anchorage-independent cellular growth and migration in culture, both properties associated with transformation. SBP1 overexpression reduced oxygen consumption in these cells and increased the activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a major regulator of energy homeostasis. In addition, the reaction products of SBP1, H2 O2 , and H2 S also activated AMPK. CONCLUSIONS Based on the obtained data, it is hypothesized that SBP1 negatively regulates oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) in the healthy prostate cells by the production of H2 O2 and H2 S and consequential activation of AMPK. The reduction of SBP1 levels in prostate cancer can occur due to increased binding of HNF4α, acting as a transcriptional inhibitor to the SBP1 promoter. Consequently, there is a reduction in H2 O2 and H2 S-mediated signaling, inhibition of AMPK, and stimulation of OXPHOS and building blocks of biomolecules needed for tumor growth and progression. Other effects of SBP1 loss in tumor cells remain to be discovered.

Abstract
1,2-Dichloropropane (1,2-DCP) is recognized as the causative agent for cholangiocarcinoma among offset color proof-printing workers in Japan. The aim of the present study was to characterize the molecular mechanisms of 1,2-DCP-induced hepatotoxic effects by proteomic analysis. We analyzed quantitatively the differential expression of proteins in the mouse liver and investigated the role of P450 in mediating the effects of 1,2-DCP. Male C57BL/6JJcl mice were exposed to 0, 50, 250, or 1250 ppm 1,2-DCP and treated with either 1-aminobenzotriazole (1-ABT), a nonselective P450 inhibitor, or saline, for 8 h/day for 4 weeks. Two-dimensional difference in gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) combined with matrix-assisted laser-desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/TOF/MS) was used to detect and identify proteins affected by the treatment. PANTHER overrepresentation test on the identified proteins was conducted. 2D-DIGE detected 61 spots with significantly different intensity between 0 and 250 ppm 1,2-DCP groups. Among them, 25 spots were identified by MALDI-TOF/TOF/MS. Linear regression analysis showed significant trend with 1,2-DCP level in 17 proteins in mice co-treated with 1-ABT. 1-ABT mitigated the differential expression of these proteins. The gene ontology enrichment analysis showed overrepresentation of proteins functionally related to nickel cation binding, carboxylic ester hydrolase activity, and catalytic activity. The results demonstrated that exposure to 1,2-DCP altered the expression of proteins related with catalytic and carboxylic ester hydrolase activities, and that such effect was mediated by P450 enzymatic activity.

Abstract
Background:
The essential trace element and micronutrient selenium exerts most of its
biological actions through incorporation into selenoproteins as selenocysteine. Two further types of
Se-containing proteins exist, including those that have selenomethionine incorporated instead of
methionine, and the group of selenium-binding proteins. We previously described an ortholog of
selenium-binding protein 1 (SELENBP1) in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, Y37A1B.5, and
demonstrated that it confers resistance to toxic selenite concentrations while impairing general
stress resistance and life expectancy of C. elegans.
Objective:
We tested for the effect of selenite on Y37A1B.5 expression, and we analyzed whether
Y37A1B.5 also shows a lifespan-modulating effect when the nematodes are deficient in the
selenoenzyme thioredoxin reductase-1 (TRXR-1).
Methods:
C. elegans expressing a translational reporter construct encoding GFP-tagged Y37A1B.5
under the control of the Y37A1B.5 promoter were exposed to selenite, followed by fluorescence
microscopic analysis of GFP levels. Lifespan analyses and RNA interference experiments were
performed in trxr-1-deficient worms.
Results:
We here demonstrate that selenite at toxic concentrations stimulates the expression of the
translational Y37A1B.5 reporter. The lifespan-extending effect of Y37A1B.5 deficiency was
preserved upon the deletion of the only selenoprotein in C. elegans, TRXR-1.
Conclusion:
These data suggest that (1) Y37A1B.5 may serve as a selenite-responsive buffer
against high environmental selenium concentrations and that (2) lifespan extension elicited by
Y37A1B.5 knockdown does not require functional TRXR-1.

Selenium-binding protein 1 transcriptionally activates p21 expression via p53-independent mechanism and its frequent reduction associates with poor prognosis in bladder cancer. J Transl Med 2020; 18:17.

Abstract
Background Recent studies have shown that selenium-binding protein 1 (SELENBP1) is significantly down-regulated in a variety of solid tumors. Nevertheless, the clinical relevance of SELENBP1 in human bladder cancer has not been described in any detail, and the molecular mechanism underlying its inhibitory role in cancer cell growth is largely unknown. Methods SELENBP1 expression levels in tumor tissues and adjacent normal tissues were evaluated using immunoblotting assay. The association of SELENBP1 expression, clinicopathological features, and clinical outcome was determined using publicly available dataset from The Cancer Genome Atlas bladder cancer (TCGA-BLCA) cohort. DNA methylation in SELENBP1 gene was assessed using online MEXPRESS tool. We generated stable SELENBP1-overexpression and their corresponding control cell lines to determine its potential effect on cell cycle and transcriptional activity of p21 by using flow cytometry and luciferase reporter assay, respectively. The dominant-negative mutant constructs, TAM67 and STAT1 Y701F, were employed to define the roles of c-Jun and STAT1 in the regulation of p21 protein. Results Here, we report that the reduction of SELENBP1 is a frequent event and significantly correlates with tumor progression as well as unfavorable prognosis in human bladder cancer. By utilizing TCGA-BLCA cohort, DNA hypermethylation, especially in gene body, is shown to be likely to account for the reduction of SELENBP1 expression. However, an apparent paradox is observed in its 3′-UTR region, in which DNA methylation is positively related to SELENBP1 expression. More importantly, we verify the growth inhibitory role for SELENBP1 in human bladder cancer, and further report a novel function for SELENBP1 in transcriptionally modulating p21 expression through a p53-independent mechanism. Instead, ectopic expression of SELENBP1 pronouncedly attenuates the phosphorylation of c-Jun and STAT1, both of which are indispensable for SELENBP1-mediated transcriptional induction of p21, thereby resulting in the G0/G1 phase cell cycle arrest in bladder cancer cell. Conclusions Taken together, our findings provide clinical and molecular insights into improved understanding of the tumor suppressive role for SELENBP1 in human bladder cancer, suggesting that SELENBP1 could potentially be utilized as a prognostic biomarker as well as a therapeutic target in future cancer therapy.

Abstract
Human selenium-binding protein 1 (SELENBP1) was originally identified as a protein binding selenium, most likely as selenite. SELENBP1 is associated with cellular redox and thiol homeostasis in several respects, including its established role as a methanethiol oxidase that is involved in degradation of methanethiol, a methionine catabolite, generating hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). As both H2S and reactive oxygen species (such as H2O2) are major regulators of Caenorhabditis elegans lifespan and stress resistance, we hypothesized that a SELENBP1 ortholog in C. elegans would likely be involved in regulating these aspects. Here we characterize Y37A1B.5, a putative selenium-binding protein 1 ortholog in C. elegans with 52% primary structure identity to human SELENBP1. While conferring resistance to toxic concentrations of selenite, Y37A1B.5 also attenuates resistance to oxidative stress and lowers C. elegans lifespan: knockdown of Y37A1B.5 using RNA interference resulted in an approx. 10% increase of C. elegans lifespan and an enhanced resistance against the redox cycler paraquat, as well as enhanced motility. Analyses of transgenic reporter strains suggest hypodermal expression and cytoplasmic localization of Y37A1B.5, whose expression decreases with worm age. We identify the transcriptional coregulator MDT-15 and transcription factor EGL-27 as regulators of Y37A1B.5 levels and show that the lifespan extending effect elicited by downregulation of Y37A1B.5 is independent of known MDT-15 interacting factors, such as DAF-16 and NHR-49. In summary, Y37A1B.5 is an ortholog of SELENBP1 that shortens C. elegans lifespan and lowers resistance against oxidative stress, while allowing for a better survival under toxic selenite concentrations.

Selenium-Binding Protein 1 Indicates Myocardial Stress and Risk for Adverse Outcome in Cardiac Surgery. Nutrients 2019; 11:nu11092005.

Abstract
Selenium-binding protein 1 (SELENBP1) is an intracellular protein that has been detected in the circulation in response to myocardial infarction. Hypoxia and cardiac surgery affect selenoprotein expression and selenium (Se) status. For this reason, we decided to analyze circulating SELENBP1 concentrations in patients (n = 75) necessitating cardioplegia and a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) during the course of the cardiac surgery. Serum samples were collected at seven time-points spanning the full surgical process. SELENBP1 was quantified by a highly sensitive newly developed immunological assay. Serum concentrations of SELENBP1 increased markedly during the intervention and showed a positive association with the duration of ischemia (ρ = 0.6, p < 0.0001). Elevated serum SELENBP1 concentrations at 1 h after arrival at the intensive care unit (post-surgery) were predictive to identify patients at risk of adverse outcome (death, bradycardia or cerebral ischemia, "endpoint 1"; OR 29.9, CI 3.3-268.8, p = 0.00027). Circulating SELENBP1 during intervention (2 min after reperfusion or 15 min after weaning from the CPB) correlated positively with an established marker of myocardial infarction (CK-MB) measured after the intervention (each with ρ = 0.5, p < 0.0001). We concluded that serum concentrations of SELENBP1 were strongly associated with cardiac arrest and the duration of myocardial ischemia already early during surgery, thereby constituting a novel and promising quantitative marker for myocardial hypoxia, with a high potential to improve diagnostics and prediction in combination with the established clinical parameters.

Abstract
Selenoproteins are a unique class of proteins that play key roles in redox signaling in the brain. This unique organ is comprised of a wide variety of cell types that includes excitatory neurons, inhibitory neurons, astrocytes, microglia, and oligodendrocytes. Whereas selenoproteins are known to be required for neural development and function, the cell-type specific expression of selenoproteins and selenium-related machinery has yet to be systematically investigated. Due to advances in sequencing technology and investment from the National Institutes of Health (NIH)-sponsored BRAIN initiative, RNA sequencing (RNAseq) data from thousands of cortical neurons can now be freely accessed and searched using the online RNAseq data navigator at the Allen Brain Atlas. Hence, we utilized this newly developed tool to perform a comprehensive analysis of the cell-type specific expression of selenium-related genes in brain. Select proteins of interest were further verified by means of multi-label immunofluorescent labeling of mouse brain sections. Of potential significance to neural selenium homeostasis, we report co-expression of selenoprotein P (SELENOP) and selenium binding protein 1 (SELENBP1) within astrocytes. These findings raise the intriguing possibility that SELENBP1 may negatively regulate astrocytic SELENOP synthesis and thereby limit downstream Se supply to neurons.

Abstract
Selenium (Se), an essential trace mineral, confers its physiological functions mainly through selenoproteins, most of which are oxidoreductases. Results from animal, epidemiological, and human genetic studies link Parkinson's disease to Se and certain selenoproteins. Parkinson's disease is characterized by multiple motor and non-motor symptoms that are difficult to diagnose at early stages of the pathogenesis. While irreversible, degenerative and age-related, the onset of Parkinson's disease may be delayed through proper dietary and environmental controls. One particular attribute of Se biology is that brain has the highest priority to receive and retain this nutrient even in Se deficiency. Thus, brain Se deficiency is rare; however, a strong body of recent evidence implicates selenoprotein dysfunction in Parkinson's disease. Direct and indirect evidence from mouse models implicate selenoprotein T, glutathione peroxidase 1, selenoprotein P and glutathione peroxidase 4 in counteracting Parkinson's disease through Se transportation to the brain and reduced oxidative stress. It is of future interest to further characterize the full selenoproteomes in various types of brain cells and elucidate the mechanism of their actions in Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
Selenium-binding protein 1 (SELENBP1) has recently been reported to catalyse the oxidation of methanethiol, an organosulfur compound produced by gut microbiota. Two of the reaction products of methanethiol oxidation, hydrogen peroxide and hydrogen sulphide, serve as signalling molecules for cell differentiation. Indeed, colonocyte differentiation has been found to be associated with SELENBP1 induction. Here, we show that SELENBP1 is induced when 3T3-L1 preadipocytes undergo terminal differentiation and maturation to adipocytes. SELENBP1 induction succeeded the up-regulation of known marker proteins of white adipocytes and the intracellular accumulation of lipids. Immunofluorescence microscopy revealed predominant cytoplasmic localisation of SELENBP1 in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, as demonstrated by co-staining with the key lipogenic enzyme, acetyl-CoA-carboxylase (ACC), located in cytosol. In differentiating 3T3-L1 cells, the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin and the pro-inflammatory cytokine tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) likewise suppressed SELENBP1 induction, adipocyte differentiation and lipid accumulation. However, lipid accumulation per se is not linked to SELENBP1 induction, as hepatic SELENBP1 was down-regulated in high fructose-fed mice despite increased lipogenesis in the liver and development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In conclusion, SELENBP1 is a marker of cell differentiation/maturation rather than being linked to lipogenesis/lipid accumulation.

Abstract
Selenium-binding protein 1 (SBP1) is a highly conserved protein that covalently binds selenium. SBP1 may play important roles in several fundamental physiological functions, including protein degradation, intra-Golgi transport, cell differentiation, cellular motility, redox modulation, and the metabolism of sulfur-containing molecules. SBP1 expression is often reduced in many cancer types compared to the corresponding normal tissues and low levels of SBP1 are frequently associated with poor clinical outcome. In this review, the transcriptional regulation of SBP1, the different physiological roles reported for SBP1, as well as the implications of SBP1 function in cancer and other diseases are presented.

[PMID: 29577944 DOI: 10.1016/j.pnpbp.2018.03.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2017] [Revised: 02/22/2018] [Accepted: 03/09/2018] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Upregulation of selenium binding protein 1 (SELENBP1) mRNA expression has been reported in schizophrenia, primarily in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. However, peripheral blood studies are limited and results are inconsistent. In this study, we examined SELENBP1 mRNA expression in whole blood and protein expression in plasma from patients with recent-onset schizophrenia (n = 30), treatment-resistant schizophrenia (n = 71) and healthy controls (n = 57). We also examined the effects of SELENBP1 genetic variation on gene and protein expression. We found lower SELENBP1 plasma protein levels in patients with recent-onset schizophrenia (p = 0.042) but not in treatment-resistant schizophrenia (p = 0.81). Measurement of peripheral mRNA levels showed no difference between treatment-resistant schizophrenia and healthy controls (p = 0.234) but clozapine plasma levels (p = 0.036) and duration of illness (p = 0.028) were positively correlated with mRNA levels. Genetic variation was not associated with mRNA or protein expression. Our data represent the first peripheral proteomic study of SELENBP1 in schizophrenia and suggest that plasma SELENBP1 protein is downregulated in patients with recent-onset schizophrenia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Selenophosphate, the key selenium donor for the synthesis of selenoprotein and selenium-modified tRNA, is produced by selenophosphate synthetase (SPS) from ATP, selenide, and H2O. Although free selenide can be used as the in vitro selenium substrate for selenophosphate synthesis, the precise physiological system that donates in vivo selenium substrate to SPS has not yet been characterized completely. SCOPE OF REVIEW In this review, we discuss selenium metabolism with respect to the delivery of selenium to SPS in selenoprotein biosynthesis. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS Glutathione, selenocysteine lyase, cysteine desulfurase, and selenium-binding proteins are the candidates of selenium delivery system to SPS. The thioredoxin system is also implicated in the selenium delivery to SPS in Escherichia coli. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Selenium delivered via a protein-bound selenopersulfide intermediate emerges as a central element not only in achieving specific selenoprotein biosynthesis but also in preventing the occurrence of toxic free selenide in the cell. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled "Selenium research in biochemistry and biophysics - 200 year anniversary".

Abstract
Selenium Βinding Protein (SBP, originally termed SBP56) was identified in mouse liver as a cytosolic protein that could bind radioactive selenium. SBPs are highly conserved proteins present in a wide array of species across all kingdoms and are likely to be involved in selenium metabolism. In Arabidopsis, the selenium binding protein (SBP) gene family comprises three genes (AtSBP1, AtSBP2 and AtSBP3). AtSBP1 and AtSBP2 are clustered in a head-to-tail arrangement on chromosome IV, while AtSBP3 is located on chromosome III. In this work, we studied the promoter activity of the Arabidopsis SBP genes, determined their tissue specificity and showed that they are differentially regulated by sodium selenite and sodium selenate. All three SBP genes are upregulated in response to externally applied selenium compounds and the antioxidant NAC selectively downregulates SBP2. Although the effect on SBP2 levels was the most prominent, in all cases, the concurrent exposure of plants to selenite and the antioxidant supressed the expression of the SBP genes. We provide evidence that (at least) SBP1 expression is tightly linked to detoxification processes related to oxidative stress, since it is downregulated in the presence of NAC in selenium-treated plants. Furthermore, our results suggest that SBP genes may participate in the mechanisms that sense redox imbalance.

Abstract
Selenium-binding protein 1 (SELENBP1) has been associated with several cancers, although its exact role is unknown. We show that SELENBP1 is a methanethiol oxidase (MTO), related to the MTO in methylotrophic bacteria, that converts methanethiol to H2O2, formaldehyde, and H2S, an activity not previously known to exist in humans. We identified mutations in SELENBP1 in five patients with cabbage-like breath odor. The malodor was attributable to high levels of methanethiol and dimethylsulfide, the main odorous compounds in their breath. Elevated urinary excretion of dimethylsulfoxide was associated with MTO deficiency. Patient fibroblasts had low SELENBP1 protein levels and were deficient in MTO enzymatic activity; these effects were reversed by lentivirus-mediated expression of wild-type SELENBP1. Selenbp1-knockout mice showed biochemical characteristics similar to those in humans. Our data reveal a potentially frequent inborn error of metabolism that results from MTO deficiency and leads to a malodor syndrome.

Abstract
Oxidation of methanethiol (MT) is a significant step in the sulfur cycle. MT is an intermediate of metabolism of globally significant organosulfur compounds including dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) and dimethylsulfide (DMS), which have key roles in marine carbon and sulfur cycling. In aerobic bacteria, MT is degraded by a MT oxidase (MTO). The enzymatic and genetic basis of MT oxidation have remained poorly characterized. Here, we identify for the first time the MTO enzyme and its encoding gene (mtoX) in the DMS-degrading bacterium Hyphomicrobium sp. VS. We show that MTO is a homotetrameric metalloenzyme that requires Cu for enzyme activity. MTO is predicted to be a soluble periplasmic enzyme and a member of a distinct clade of the Selenium-binding protein (SBP56) family for which no function has been reported. Genes orthologous to mtoX exist in many bacteria able to degrade DMS, other one-carbon compounds or DMSP, notably in the marine model organism Ruegeria pomeroyi DSS-3, a member of the Rhodobacteraceae family that is abundant in marine environments. Marker exchange mutagenesis of mtoX disrupted the ability of R. pomeroyi to metabolize MT confirming its function in this DMSP-degrading bacterium. In R. pomeroyi, transcription of mtoX was enhanced by DMSP, methylmercaptopropionate and MT. Rates of MT degradation increased after pre-incubation of the wild-type strain with MT. The detection of mtoX orthologs in diverse bacteria, environmental samples and its abundance in a range of metagenomic data sets point to this enzyme being widely distributed in the environment and having a key role in global sulfur cycling.

Abstract
Argpyrimidine (ARP) is an advanced glycation end product thought to be generated from a reaction between methylglyoxal and arginine residues in proteins. In this study, we observed marked accumulation of an approximately 56 kD protein, reactive to anti-ARP antibodies, in the red blood cells (RBCs) of some patients with refractory schizophrenia. This ARP-modified protein was purified from the blood of schizophrenic patients and identified as selenium binding protein 1 (SBP1) by LC-MS/MS. This is the first report of ARP-modified proteins accumulating in RBCs of patients with diseases involving carbonyl stress. We also observed high accumulation of ARP-modified SBP1 in the RBCs of patients with chronic kidney disease. Therefore, this modified protein may be a novel marker of carbonyl stress.

Abstract
Selenium-binding protein 1 (SBP1) is not a selenoprotein but structurally binds selenium. Loss of SBP1 during carcinogenesis usually predicts poor prognosis. Because genome instability is a hallmark of cancer, we hypothesize that SBP1 sequesters cellular selenium and sensitizes cancer cells to DNA-damaging agents. To test this hypothesis, we knocked down SBP1 expression in HeLa cervical cancer cells by employing a short hairpin RNA (shRNA) approach. Reduced sensitivity to hydrogen peroxide, paraquat and camptothecin, reactive oxygen species content, and intracellular retention of selenium after selenomethionine treatment were observed in SBP1 shRNA HeLa cells. Results from Western analyses showed that treatment of HeLa cells with selenomethionine resulted in increased SBP1 protein expression in a dose-dependent manner. Knockdown of SBP1 rendered HeLa cells increased expression of glutathione peroxidase-1 but not glutathione peroxidase-4 protein levels and accelerated migration from a wound. Altogether, SBP1 retains supplemental selenium and sensitizes HeLa cancer cells to clastogens, suggesting a new cancer treatment strategy by sequestering selenium through SBP1.

Abstract
Most human selenium containing proteins contain selenium in the form of the amino acid selenocysteine, which is encoded in the corresponding mRNA as a UGA codon. Only a few non-selenocysteine containing selenoproteins are present and the nature of the association with selenium is not well understood. This review focuses on two selenocysteine-containing proteins that are members of the glutathione peroxidase family, GPx-1 and GPx-4, and the selenium-associated protein referred to as Selenium Binding Protein 1. Each of these proteins have been described to reside in two or more cellular compartments, and in the case of GPx-1 and SBP1, interact with each other. The enzymatic activity of GPx-1 and GPx-4 have been well described, but it is less clear how their cellular location impacts the health related phenotypes associated with activities, while no catalytic function is assigned to SBP1. The distribution of these proteins is presented as is the possible consequences of that compartmentalization.

Abstract
Selenium-Binding Protein 1 (SBP1, SELENBP1, hSP56) is a selenium-associated protein shown to be at lower levels in tumors, and its lower levels are frequently predictive of a poor clinical outcome. Distinguishing indolent from aggressive prostate cancer is a major challenge in disease management. Associations between SBP1 levels, tumor grade, and disease recurrence following prostatectomy were investigated by duplex immunofluorescence imaging using a tissue microarray containing tissue from 202 prostate cancer patients who experienced biochemical (PSA) recurrence after prostatectomy and 202 matched control patients whose cancer did not recur. Samples were matched by age, ethnicity, pathological stage and Gleason grade, and images were quantified using the Vectra multispectral imaging system. Fluorescent labels were targeted for SBP1 and cytokeratins 8/18 to restrict scoring to tumor cells, and cell-by-cell quantification of SBP1 in the nucleus and cytoplasm was performed. Nuclear SBP1 levels and the nuclear to cytoplasm ratio were inversely associated with tumor grade using linear regression analysis. Following classification of samples into quartiles based on the SBP1 levels among controls, tumors in the lowest quartile were more than twice as likely to recur compared to those in any other quartile. Inducible ectopic SBP1 expression reduced the ability of HCT-116 human tumor cells to grow in soft agar, a measure of transformation, without affecting proliferation. Cells expressing SBP1 also demonstrated a robust induction in the phosphorylation of the p53 tumor suppressor at serine 15. These data indicate that loss of SBP1 may play an independent contributing role in prostate cancer progression and its levels might be useful in distinguishing indolent from aggressive disease.

Abstract
Selenium is regulated in the body to maintain vital selenoproteins and to avoid toxicity. When selenium is limiting, cells utilize it to synthesize the selenoproteins most important to them, creating a selenoprotein hierarchy in the cell. The liver is the central organ for selenium regulation and produces excretory selenium forms to regulate whole-body selenium. It responds to selenium deficiency by curtailing excretion and secreting selenoprotein P (Sepp1) into the plasma at the expense of its intracellular selenoproteins. Plasma Sepp1 is distributed to tissues in relation to their expression of the Sepp1 receptor apolipoprotein E receptor-2, creating a tissue selenium hierarchy. N-terminal Sepp1 forms are taken up in the renal proximal tubule by another receptor, megalin. Thus, the regulated whole-body pool of selenium is shifted to needy cells and then to vital selenoproteins in them to supply selenium where it is needed, creating a whole-body selenoprotein hierarchy.

Abstract
Selenium is an essential trace element and has been extensively studied for preventive effects on cancers. Recent emerging evidence has also shown that selenium at supranutritional dosage has a preferential cytotoxicity in cancer cells and chemotherapeutic drug-resistant cells, but the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. This study was to investigate the roles of two distinct representatives of selenium-containing proteins, selenium-binding protein 1 (SBP1) and glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX1), in selenite-mediated cancer-specific cytotoxicity. We found that there was a significantly inverse correlation between SBP1 and GPX1 protein level in human breast cancers and adjacent matched nontumor tissues (Pearson r=-0.4347, P=0.0338). Ectopic expression of GPX1 enhanced selenite cytotoxicity through down-regulation of SBP1, and SBP1 was likely to be a crucial determinant for selenite-mediated cytotoxicity. Reduction of SBP1 in cancer cells and epirubicin-resistant cells on selenite exposure resulted in a dramatic increase in the generation of hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion, which in turn caused oxidative stress and triggered apoptosis. Furthermore, knockdown SBP1 by small interfering RNA increased selenite sensitivity by elevating extracellular glutathione (GSH), which spontaneously reacted with selenite and led to the rapid depletion of selenium (IV) in growth medium and the high-affinity uptake of selenite. In conclusion, these findings would improve our understanding of the roles of selenium-containing proteins in selenite-mediated cytotoxicity, and revealed a potent mechanism of the selective cytotoxicity of selenite in cancer cells and drug-resistant cells, in which SBP1 was likely to play an important role in modulating the extracellular microenvironment by regulating the levels of extracellular GSH.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) plays an important role in bone physiology as best reflected by Kashin-Beck disease, an endemic Se-dependent osteoarthritis. Bone development is delayed in children with mutations in SECIS binding protein 2 (SBP2), a central factor for selenoprotein biosynthesis. Circulating selenoprotein P (SePP) is positively associated with bone turnover in humans, yet its function for bone homeostasis is not known. We have analysed murine models of altered Se metabolism. Most of the known selenoprotein genes and factors needed for selenoprotein biosynthesis are expressed in bones. Bone Se is not associated with the mineral but exclusively with the organic matrix. Genetic ablation of Sepp-expression causes a drastic decline in serum (25-fold) but only a mild reduction in bone (2.5-fold) Se concentrations. Cell-specific expression of a SePP transgene in hepatocytes efficiently restores bone Se levels in Sepp-knockout mice. Of the two known SePP receptors, Lrp8 was detected in bones while Lrp2 was absent. Interestingly, Lrp8 mRNA concentrations were strongly increased in bones of Sepp-knockout mice likely in order to counteract the developing Se deficiency. Our data highlight SePP as the essential Se transporter to bones, and suggest a novel feedback mechanism for preferential uptake of Se in Se-deprived bones, thereby contributing to our understanding of hepatic osteodystrophy and the consistent bone phenotype observed in subjects with inherited selenoprotein biosynthesis mutations.

Abstract
Dietary intake of selenium has been associated with reduced risk of several cancer types, and this is likely due to its role as a specific constituent of selenium containing proteins. One of these, selenium-binding protein 1 (SBP1), is a protein of unknown function that has been shown to be reduced in tumors of diverse tissue types as compared to the corresponding normal tissue. More importantly, SBP1 has also been reported to be a predictor of clinical outcome. Levels of SBP1 are inversely associated with the levels of another protein representative of a different class of selenoproteins, glutathione peroxidase1 (GPx-1). GPx-1 is an anti-oxidant, selenocysteine containing enzyme implicated in several diseases, including cancer, due to the association of specific alleles with disease risk. The relationship between SBP1 and GPx-1 represents a unique example of a molecular interaction between selenium containing proteins with a likely significant impact on human health and disease.

Abstract
Selenium is a trace element that plays a critical role in physiological processes and cancer prevention, whose functions may be through its effects on selenium-containing proteins. Selenium-binding protein 1 (SBP1) is a member of an unusual class of selenium-containing proteins that may function as a tumor suppressor in multiple cancer types and whose levels have been shown to be lower in cancers as compared to corresponding normal tissues. This review is intended to summarize recent advances in gaining an understanding of the significance of SBP1 in carcinogenesis, and suggest that SBP1 could be developed as a potential biomarker for cancer progression and prognosis.

Abstract
Selenium binding proteins (SeBPs) play a crucial role in controlling the oxidation/reduction in many physiological processes. Here we reported the isolation and characterization of a cDNA of SeBP gene from Sinonovacula constricta (denoted as ScSeBP). The full-length cDNA of ScSeBP was of 2345 bp, consisting of a 5'UTR of 246 bp, a 3' UTR of 626 bp, and a complete ORF of 1473 bp encoding a polypeptide with 491 amino acid residues. The predicted molecular mass of deduced amino acid of ScSeBP was 54.85 kDa and the theoretical pI was 6.44. Tissue distribution analysis of the ScSeBP revealed that the mRNA transcripts of ScSeBP were constitutively expressed in all examined tissues with the higher expressions in gill, gonad and the haemocytes. The temporal expression of ScSeBP in gill and haemocytes after B[α]P and heavy metals exposure were recorded by qPCR. B[α]P exposure at 0.5 and 5 mg L(-1) caused significant increase in mRNA expression of ScSeBP in haemocytes, but down-regulated ScSeBP mRNA expression in gill. Concerning heavy metals stresses, the suppressed expression patterns were detected in gill and haemocyte except lower concentration of PbCl2 exposure in haemocytes at 12 h. All our results indicated that ScSeBP was one of key effectors in mediating B[α]P and heavy metals exposure.

Selenium-binding protein 1: its physiological function, dependence on aryl hydrocarbon receptors, and role in wasting syndrome by 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin. Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj 2013; 1830:3616-24. [PMID: 23500078 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbagen.2013.03.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2012] [Revised: 02/15/2013] [Accepted: 03/06/2013] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Selenium-binding protein 1 (Selenbp1) is suggested to play a role in tumor suppression, and may be involved in the toxicity produced by dioxin, an activator of aryl hydrocarbon receptors (AhR). However, the mechanism or likelihood is largely unknown because of the limited information available about the physiological role of Selenbp1. METHODS To address this issue, we generated Selenbp1-null [Selenbp1 (-/-)] mice, and examined the toxic effect of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) in this mouse model. RESULTS Selenbp1 (-/-) mice exhibited only a few differences from wild-type mice in their apparent phenotypes. However, a DNA microarray experiment showed that many genes including Notch1 and Cdk1, which are known to be enhanced in ovarian carcinoma, are also increased in the ovaries of Selenbp1 (-/-) mice. Based on the different responses to TCDD between C57BL/6J and DBA/2J strains of mice, the expression of Selenbp1 is suggested to be under the control of AhR. However, wasting syndrome by TCDD occurred equally in Selenbp1 (-/-) and (+/+) mice. CONCLUSIONS The above pieces of evidence suggest that 1) Selenbp1 suppresses the expression of tumor-promoting genes although a reduction in Selenbp1 alone is not very serious as far as the animals are concerned; and 2) Selenbp1 induction by TCDD is neither a pre-requisite for toxicity nor a protective response for combating TCDD toxicity. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Selenbp1 (-/-) mice exhibit little difference in their apparent phenotype and responsiveness to dioxin compared with the wild-type. This may be due to the compensation of Selenbp1 function by a closely-related protein, Selenbp2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data from human epidemiological studies, cultured mammalian cells, and animal models have supported a potentially beneficial role of selenium (Se) in prostate cancer prevention. In addition, Se-containing proteins including members of the glutathione peroxidase (GPx) family and Selenium-Binding Protein 1 (SBP1) have been linked to either cancer risk or development. For example, SBP1 levels are typically reduced in tumors compared to non-cancerous tissue, with the degree of reduction associated with increasingly poor clinical outcome. METHODS In order to investigate inter-relationships between blood and tissue Se levels and GPx activity, tissue SBP1 levels, and disease aggressiveness using the Gleason score, we measured levels of selenium and selected selenoproteins in fasting serum and histologically normal prostate tissues obtained from 24 men undergoing radical prostatectomy for the treatment of localized prostate cancer. RESULTS GPx enzyme activity was inversely correlated with SBP1 levels in prostate tissue as determined by densitometry of Western blots obtained using anti-SBP1 antibodies [partial Spearman's correlation coefficients and corresponding P-values overall and in African-Americans = -0.42 (0.08) and -0.53 (0.10), respectively], which is consistent with previous observations in cultured cells and mice. Of particular interest was the positive correlation between tissue GPx activity and Gleason score, with this relationship achieving statistical significance among African-Americans (r = 0.67, P = 0.02). CONCLUSION These studies support the continued investigation of the role of Se and selenoproteins in prostate cancer prevention, development, and prognosis.

Abstract
SUMMARY
As the effects of climate change have become increasingly visible over the past three decades, coral reefs have suffered from a number of natural and anthropogenic disturbances that have caused a critical decline in coral populations. Among these disturbances are coral diseases, which have appeared with increasing frequency and severity, often in correlation with increases in water temperature. Although the crucial role played by Vibrio species in coral disease has been widely documented, the scientific community does not yet fully understand the infection process of Vibrio or its impact on coral physiology and immunology. Here, we investigated the physiological and transcriptomic responses of a major reef-building coral, Pocillopora damicornis, when exposed to a specific pathogen (Vibrio coralliilyticus) under virulent (increasing water temperature) and non-virulent (constant low temperature) conditions. The infection process was examined by electron microscopy and quantitative reverse-transcription PCR, and coral health was monitored by visual observations and measurements of zooxanthellar density. The results obtained suggest that coral tissue invasion occurs upon increasing water temperature only. Transcriptomic variations were investigated using a suppression–subtractive–hybridization approach, and the expression levels of six candidate immune-related genes were examined during bacterial exposure. These genes correspond to three lectin-like molecules putatively involved in the recognition of pathogens, two metal-binding proteins putatively involved in antibacterial response and one cystein protease inhibitor. The transcription patterns of these selected genes provide new insights into the responses of coral colonies to virulent versus non-virulent bacteria.

Abstract
Selenium-binding protein (SBP) 1 is present in reduced levels in several cancer types as compared with normal tissues, and lower levels are associated with poor clinical prognosis. Another selenium-containing protein, glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX1), has been associated with cancer risk and development. The interaction between these representatives of different classes of selenoproteins was investigated. Increasing SBP1 levels in either human colorectal or breast cancer cells by transfection of an expression construct resulted in the reduction of GPX1 enzyme activity. Increased expression of GPX1 in the same cell types resulted in the transcriptional and translational repression of SBP1, as evidenced by the reduction of SBP1 messenger RNA and protein and the inhibition of transcription measured using an SBP1 reporter construct. The opposing effects of SBP1 and GPX1 on each other were also observed when GPX1 was increased by supplementing the media of these tissue culture cells with selenium, and the effect of selenium on SBP1 was shown to be GPX1 dependent. Decreasing or increasing GPX1 levels in colonic epithelial cells of mice fed a selenium-deficient, -adequate or -supplemented diet resulted in the opposing effect on SBP1 levels. These data are explained in part by the demonstration that SBP1 and GPX1 form a physical association, as determined by coimmunoprecipitation and fluorescence resonance energy transfer assay. The results presented establish an interaction between two distinct selenium-containing proteins that may enhance the understanding of the mechanisms by which selenium and selenoproteins affect carcinogenesis in humans.

Abstract
Reduced expression of the 56-kDa human selenium binding protein-1 (hSP56) has been reported in many types of human malignancies, including prostate, lung, ovarian, thyroid and colorectal cancers. hSP56 also has been implicated in selenium-dependent cell growth inhibition. However, the molecular basis of hSP56's function has not been elucidated. In the present study, we identified von Hippel-Lindau protein (pVHL)-interacting deubiquitinating enzyme 1 (VDU1) as a protein partner of hSP56 using a yeast two-hybrid screen. The interaction between hSP56 and VDU1 was confirmed by yeast two-hybrid analysis and in vitro binding experiments. hSP56 and VDU1 co-localized in the perinuclear region of LNCaP human prostate cancer cells. The full-length VDU1 specifically interacted with a selenium-replete form of hSP56. We also demonstrate stable incorporation of selenium into hSP56, in a mode distinct from conventional selenocysteine-containing selenoproteins. These findings suggest that hSP56 may play a role in ubiquitination/deubiquitination-mediated protein degradation pathways in a selenium-dependent manner.

Abstract
In response to overfeeding, geese develop fatty liver. To understand the fattening mechanism, mRNA differential display reverse transcription PCR was used to study the gene expression differences between French Landes grey geese and Xupu white geese in conditions of overfeeding and normal feeding. One gene was found to be up-regulated in the fatty liver in both breeds, and it has a 1797 bp cDNA with 83% identity to chicken SELENBP1. The sequence analysis revealed that its open reading frame of 1413 bp encodes a protein of 471 amino acids, which contains a putative conserved domain of 56 kDa selenium binding protein with high homology to its homologues of chicken (95%), rat (86%), mouse (84%), human (86%), monkey (86%), dog (86%), and cattle (86%). The function of this protein has been briefly reviewed based on published information. In tissue expression analysis, the expression of geese SELENBP1 mRNA was found to be higher in liver or kidney than in other tested tissues. The results showed that overfeeding could increase the mRNA expression level of geese SELENBP1.

Abstract
We investigated the changes in the hepatic proteome in murine models for toxic-induced fibrogenesis and sclerosing cholangitis. A comprehensive comparison of protein changes observed is made and the mechanistical basis of the expression changes is discussed. Hepatic fibrosis was induced by repetitive intraperitoneal CCl4 treatment of BALB/c mice or developed spontaneously in BALB/c-ATP-binding cassette, subfamily B, member 4 (Abcb4) knock out mice. Fibrosis was verified by a morphometric score and assessment of hydroxyproline content of liver tissue, respectively. The innovative difference in-gel electrophoresis (DIGE) technique was used to analyse protein expression levels of the mouse proteome. Results were confirmed by Western blotting and real-time RT-PCR. In CCl4-induced fibrosis 20 out of 40 and in BALB/c-Abcb4(-/-) mice 8 out of 28 differentially expressed proteins were identified utilizing DIGE. Only two proteins, selenium-binding protein (Sbp2) and carbonic anhydrase 3, have been unidirectionally expressed (i.e. down-regulated) in both models. Relevant differences in the pathogenesis of toxically induced liver fibrosis and sclerosing cholangitis exist. The only novel protein with regard to liver fibrosis depicting a unidirectional expression pattern in both animal models was Sbp2. An explicit protein function could not be clarified yet.

Abstract
A proteomics approach was used to characterize biochemical and cellular mechanisms governing effects of peripubertal feeding on heifer mammary development. Mammary parenchymal tissue from 24 Holstein heifers randomly assigned to treatments arranged in a 2 x 2 factorial design was used to generate 2-dimensional protein maps of mammary tissue extracts. Heifers were reared on 1 of 2 dietary treatments, restricted (650 g/ d of daily gain) or elevated (950 g/d of daily gain) and killed at 1 of 2 body weights (BW, 200 or 350 kg). Cytosolic mammary gland extracts were prepared from frozen mammary parenchyma. Proteome maps of extracts were constructed using PDQuest software. Densities of 820 protein spots were analyzed using the MIXED procedure of SAS. Protein spots were characterized by changes in profiles of expression in response to increased BW, dietary treatment, or both. Dietary treatment influenced the expression of 131 protein spots, whereas heifer BW influenced the expression of 108 spots. The 22 most highly influenced (statistically) spots were excised and submitted for mass spectrometric analyses. Returned protein names and accession numbers were used in National Center for Biotechnology Information database searches to obtain information on the identified proteins. For example, one of the proteins that differed by dietary treatment, transferrin, a binding protein of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3, was identified via these methods. Possible roles of this and other proteins in mammary development are described. We concluded that a proteomic approach is an effective tool for identifying the proteins involved in bovine mammary development.

Abstract
The metabolic role and regulation of selenium, particularly in plants, is poorly understood. One of the proteins probably involved in the metabolic regulation of this element is the selenium-binding protein (SBP) with homologues present across prokaryotic and eukaryotic species. The high degree of conservation of SBP in different organisms suggests that this protein may play a role in fundamental biological processes. In order to gain insight into the biochemical function of SBP in plants we used the yeast two-hybrid system to identify proteins that potentially interact with an Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. homologue. Among the putative binding partners of SBP, a NADP-dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and a fructose-bisphosphate aldolase (FBA) were found as reliable positive candidates. The interaction of these proteins with SBP was confirmed by in vitro binding assays. Previous findings in Escherichia coli, demonstrated the direct binding of selenium to both GAPDH and aldolase. Therefore our results reveal the interaction, at least in pairs, of three proteins that are possibly linked to selenium and suggest the existence of a protein network consisting of at least SBP, GAPDH and FBA, triggered by or regulating selenium metabolism in plant cells.

Abstract
In the Arabidopsis genome there are three highly conserved homologues of the mammalian 56-kD selenium-binding protein (SBP). To study the function of SBP in this model plant, we used a transgenic approach by constitutively overexpressing and down-regulating the endogenous Atsbp1 gene. In the latter case, we employed both a conventional antisense method and gene silencing by intron-containing hairpin RNAs. Atsbp1-overexpressing and silenced plants were phenotypically normal, under standard growth conditions, when compared with wild type plants. Transgenic plants exhibited different growth responses to exogenously supplied selenite, which correlated with the expression levels of Atsbp1. Plants with increased Atsbp1 transcript levels showed enhanced tolerance to selenite, while plants with reduced levels were more sensitive. Our results indicate that, although Atsbp1 does not play a detectable role in the regulation of developmental processes under normal growth conditions, it appears to be involved in processes controlling tolerance of Arabidopsis to selenium toxicity.

Abstract
Alveolar macrophages (AMs) are a subset of tissue macrophages situated in the alveolar milieu. Compared with their precursor blood monocytes, AMs exhibit distinct physiologic functions unique to their anatomic location. However, the molecular details that control monocyte differentiation into AMs remain unknown. This study employed a proteomic approach to define protein characteristics that distinguish AMs from monocytes. AMs and monocytes were obtained from six nonsmoking, healthy donors. Whole cell lysates from each donor's AMs and monocytes were analyzed by two-dimensional (2D) gel electrophoreses. The protein density for each protein spot in a 2D gel was compared between these two cell types. Proteins that demonstrated consistent level changes of greater than 2.5-fold in all six donors were subjected to tandem mass spectrometry for protein identity. Using this process, we revealed proteome changes in AMs that relate to their physiologic roles in proteolysis, actin reorganization, and cellular adaptation in the unique alveolar milieu. By comparison, blood monocytes displayed higher levels of the proteins involved in transcription, metabolism, inflammation, and in the control of proteolysis. These results provide new insights into the biology of mononuclear phagocytes and set a basis for future causality studies.

Abstract
Transport of proteins between intracellular membrane compartments is a highly regulated process that depends on several cytosolic factors. By using the well characterized intra-Golgi cell-free transport assay, we purified from bovine brain cytosol a 56-kDa protein that shows a significant transport activity. Partial sequencing of four tryptic peptides obtained from the 56-kDa protein revealed its identity to a cytosolic protein previously characterized as a selenium-binding protein, SBP56. Recombinant SBP56 expressed in Escherichia coli exhibited transport activity when added to the cell-free intra-Golgi transport. Affinity purified anti-SBP56 polyclonal antibodies specifically inhibited intra-Golgi transport in vitro. Although SBP56 is predominantly localized in the cytosol, a significant amount is associated with membranes. Subcellular fractionation showed that this protein is peripherally associated with the Golgi membrane. The experiments presented in this study indicate that SBP56 participates in late stages of intra-Golgi protein transport.

Abstract
Previously, a selenium-containing protein with subunit molecular weight of 15 kDa was found in peripheral human granulocytes. In continuation of this work, the present communication accounts for purification, identification, and characterization of this major selenium-containing protein. The protein was purified on a heparin-Sepharose column followed by Sephacryl S-200 column chromatography. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis visualized two bands with subunit molecular weights around 15 kDa. o-Phthaldialdehyde precolumn derivatization and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography showed that the protein contains selenocysteine or selenocystine residues. High-performance gel filtration and isoelectric focusing revealed that the protein had an apparent molecular weight of 32 kDa and a pI value of 7.9. The addition of the protein synthesis inhibitor puromycin to the cell culture medium decreased the 15-kDa protein synthesis. These data suggest that the major selenium-containing protein in peripheral human granulocytes might be a protein with two subunits around 15 kDa. Enzyme studies showed that the protein had peroxidase activity assayed with H2O2 as a substrate and O-dianisidine as a hydrogen donor. This enzymatic activity competed with glutathione peroxidase on the consumption of H2O2, leading to an "inhibiton" of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity. Sodium azide could eliminate the inhibition of the protein to GSH-Px. All of the above results implicated that the protein might be a H2O2-dependent selenium containing peroxidase different from GSH-Px. Therefore, the biological function of the protein could be related to eliminating H2O2 generated in the respiratory burst reaction of granulocytes, thus protecting these cells from oxidative damage during phagocytosis.

Abstract
We have previously shown that a 54 kDa protein in rat liver is highly homologous to selenium-binding protein (SeBP) or acetaminophen-binding protein (APBP) in mice and is highly inducible by treatment with 3,3',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl or 3-methylcholanthrene. In this study, we examine the effect of six typical inducers, 3-methylcholanthrene (MC), isosafrole (ISO), phenobarbital (PB), dexamethasone (DEX), clofibrate (CLO), pyrazole (PYR) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), on the expression level of this 54 kDa protein. Male Wistar rats were given each inducer following a predetermined schedule. Among these inducers, the 54 kDa protein was inducible by MC and BHT. The response to MC and BHT was compared with that of NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase and ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase activities. The induction mechanisms and physiological role of the 54 kDa protein are discussed in the light of our results.

Abstract
The level of liver fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) was analyzed in enzyme-altered foci (EAF) positive for GST-P, or after classification of foci into different subclasses by haematoxylin and eosin staining. Rats were treated with either an initiating single dose of diethylnitrosamine (DEN) followed by no treatment, treatment with phenobarbital, PCB, nafenopin or repeated injections of DEN, or alternatively non-treated or treated with nafenopin alone. Changes in the level of L-FABP were detected in the majority of EAF and both L-FABP-positive and -negative foci were seen. However, in rats initiated with DEN, EAF were almost exclusively L-FABP-negative. The fraction of L-FABP-negative foci increased with increasing foci size, while the time of treatment or the dose of the promoter did not seem to have any effect. It was also found that treatment with DEN gave a higher fraction of L-FABP-negative foci as compared to treatment with phenobarbital or PCB, indicating a specific effect of DEN. These data together with previously published findings suggest that L-FABP expression in EAF is determined by the initiating carcinogenic regimen and that it might be possible to use the expression of L-FABP in tumours to differentiate initiating chemicals.

Abstract
The mechanism of the antagonistic behaviour of selenium (Se) against cadmium (Cd) toxicity is investigated. This study reports the distribution of Cd at the organ and subcellular level after chronic treatments. The possible role of the selenium binding proteins (SBP) during Cd exposure are also evaluated. Kidney concentrates more Cd than liver following 8 weeks of treatment. Simultaneous administration of Se reduced Cd accumulation in Kidney. This affect did not occur in liver. Among the subcellular fractions, the maximum concentrations of both of the elements were found in the cytosol. The overall uptake of 75Se was enhanced in the cytosol of kidney and liver of the Cd treated animals. These observations support a hypothesis that selenium is complexed with cadmium. The increase in the labeling of SBP as a result of Cd exposures may reflect a change in the conformation of the protein molecule. These proteins (SBP) contain a sequence motif, which may be an active redox centre. Also, Cd significantly reduced the glutathione level, thereby disrupting the thiol/disulfide balance. This in turn may affect the redox status of the proteins leading to a 75Se or 75Se-Cd complex with SBP.
