Abstract
OBJECTIVE Keshan disease (KD) is a myocardial mitochondrial disease closely related to insufficient selenium (Se) and protein intake. PTEN induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1)/Parkin mediated mitochondrial autophagy regulates various physiological and pathological processes in the body. This study aimed to elucidate the relationship between PINK1/Parkin-regulated mitochondrial autophagy and KD-related myocardial injury. METHODS A low Se and low protein animal model was established. One hundred Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups (control group, low Se group, low protein group, low Se + low protein group, and corn from KD area group). The JC-1 method was used to detect the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). ELISA was used to detect serum creatine kinase MB (CK-MB), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), and mitochondrial-glutamicoxalacetic transaminase (M-GOT) levels. RT-PCR and Western blot analysis were used to detect the expression of PINK1, Parkin, sequestome 1 (P62), and microtubule-associated proteins1A/1B light chain 3B (MAP1LC3B). RESULTS The MMP was significantly decreased and the activity of CK-MB, cTnI, and M-GOT significantly increased in each experimental group (low Se group, low protein group, low Se + low protein group and corn from KD area group) compared with the control group (P<0.05 for all). The mRNA and protein expression levels of PINK1, Parkin and MAP1LC3B were profoundly increased, and those of P62 markedly decreased in the experimental groups compared with the control group (P<0.05 for all). CONCLUSION Low Se and low protein levels exacerbate myocardial damage in KD by affecting the PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitochondrial autophagy pathway.

Abstract
Keshan disease (KD) is a type of endemic cardiomyopathy with an unknown cause. It is primarily found in areas in China with low selenium levels, from northeast to southwest. The nutritional biogeochemical etiology hypothesis suggests that selenium deficiency is a major factor in KD development. Selenium is important in removing free radicals and protecting cells and tissues from peroxide-induced damage. Thus, low environmental selenium may affect the selenium level within the human body, and selenium level differences are commonly observed between healthy people in KD and nonKD areas. From the 1970s to the 1990s, China successfully reduced KD incidence in endemic KD areas through a selenium supplementation program. After years of implementing prevention and control measures, the selenium level of the population in the KD areas has gradually increased, and the prevalence of KD in China has remained low and stable in recent years. Currently, the pathogenesis of KD remains vague, and the effect of selenium supplementation on the prognosis of KD still needs further study. This paper comprehensively reviews selenium deficiency and its connection to KD. Thus, this study aims to offer novel ideas and directions to effectively prevent and treat KD in light of the current situation.

Single and Combined Effects of Short-Term Selenium Deficiency and T-2 Toxin-Induced Kidney Pathological Injury Through the MMPs/TIMPs System. Biol Trace Elem Res 2023; 201:4850-4860. [PMID: 36645617 DOI: 10.1007/s12011-023-03566-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2022] [Accepted: 01/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
The single and combined effects of short-term selenium (Se) deficiency and T-2 toxin-induced kidney pathological injury through the MMPs/TIMPs system were investigated. Forty-eight rats were randomly divided into control, 10 ng/g T-2 toxin, 100 ng/g T-2 toxin, Se-deficient, 10 ng/g T-2 toxin and Se deficiency combined, and 100 ng/g T-2 toxin and Se deficiency combined groups for a 4-week intervention. The kidney Se concentration was measured to evaluate the construction of animal models of Se deficiency. Kidney tissues were analyzed by hematoxylin-eosin staining, Masson staining, and transmission electron microscope to observe the pathological changes, the severity of kidney fibrosis, and ultrastructural changes, respectively. Meanwhile, quantitative polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemical staining were used to analyze the gene and protein expression levels of matrix metallopeptidase 2/3 (MMP2/3) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP1). The results showed that short-term Se deficiency and T-2 toxin exposure can cause kidney injury through tubular degeneration and even lead to kidney fibrosis. And the combination of T-2 toxin and Se deficiency had a synergistic effect on the kidney. A dose-response effect of the T-2 toxin was also observed. At the gene and protein levels, the expression of MMP2/3 in the intervention group increased, while the expression of TIMP1 decreased compared with the control group. In conclusion, short-term Se deficiency and T-2 toxin exposure might lead to injury and even the development of fibrosis in the kidneys, and combined intervention can increase the severity with a dose-dependent trend. MMP2/3 and TIMP1 likely play a significant role in the development of kidney fibrosis.

Effects of Selenoprotein S Knockdown on Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in ATDC5 Cells and Gene Expression Profiles in Hypertrophic Chondrocytes. Biol Trace Elem Res 2023; 201:1965-1976. [PMID: 35725994 DOI: 10.1007/s12011-022-03313-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2022] [Accepted: 06/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Selenoprotein S (SelS), a member of the selenoprotein family, is mainly located on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. SelS is involved in a variety of biological processes, including oxidative stress, inflammation, glucose metabolism regulation, and ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD). This study was designed to explore the role of SelS in chondrocytes. It was confirmed that SelS is a Se-sensitive selenoprotein in low-selenium rat and cell models. ER stress was not induced in SelS knockdown ATDC5 cells. However, treatment of ATDC5 cells with tunicamycin (Tm), an ER stress inducer, increased the expression of SelS, and knockdown of SelS aggravated ER stress induced by Tm, suggesting that SelS is a regulatory molecule involved in ER stress in chondrocytes. Both osteoarthritis and Kashin-Beck disease are osteochondral diseases associated with hypertrophic chondrocyte abnormalities. Therefore, ATDC5 cells were induced to hypertrophic chondrocytes. SelS was knocked down and RNA sequencing was performed. Bioinformatics analysis of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) revealed that SelS knockdown affected a variety of biological processes, including cell adhesion, osteoclast differentiation, and extracellular matrix homeostasis. Collectively, this study verified that SelS is sensitive to selenium levels and is an ER stress-responsive molecule. Knocking down SelS can cause abnormal expression of adhesion molecules and matrix homeostasis disorder in hypertrophic chondrocytes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Selenium is an essential trace element with both beneficial and detrimental effects on health depending on dose and chemical form. Currently, there is debate on recommendations for selenium supplementation as a public health measure to improve immune function and reduce infectious disease susceptibility. OBJECTIVES We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of experimental studies assessing the effect of selenium supplementation on immunity-related outcomes in healthy people. METHODS We undertook a search of published and unpublished studies in literature databases such as PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, and clinicaltrials.gov up to 17 October, 2022, and performed a meta-analysis comparing the effects on immunity-related outcomes between Se-supplemented versus control arms. Whenever possible we assessed the nonlinear relation using a dose-response approach. RESULTS 9 trials were included, 5 in North America, and 4 in Europe, with a duration between 8 and 48 weeks and supplementation of both inorganic and organic selenium forms. Selenium supplementation did not substantially affect immunoglobulin or white blood cell concentrations, and the dose-response meta-analysis indicated that an increase in plasma selenium concentrations above 100 μg/L did not further increase IgA levels nor T cells. An inverted U-shaped relation emerged for NK cell count, with a lower number of these cells both below and above 120 μg/L. The only beneficial effect of selenium supplementation was the increased activity for NK lysis, but the available data did not permit dose-response analysis. Cytokine levels were substantially unaffected by selenium supplementation. CONCLUSIONS Although some of the data suggested beneficial effects of selenium supplementation on immune function, the overall picture appears to be inconsistent and heterogeneous due to differences in trial duration and interventions, plus evidence of null and even detrimental effects. Overall, the evidence that we extracted from the literature in this systematic review does not support the need to supplement selenium beyond the recommended dietary intake to obtain beneficial effects on immune function. This trial was registered at PROSPERO (CRD42022312280).

Abstract
Keshan disease is an endemic fatal dilated cardiomyopathy that can cause heart enlargement, heart failure, and cardiogenic death. Selenium deficiency is considered to be the main cause of Keshan disease. However, the molecular mechanism underlying Keshan disease remains unclear. Our whole-exome sequencing from 68 patients with Keshan disease and 100 controls found 199 candidate genes by gene-level burden tests. Interestingly, using multiomics data, the selenium-related gene ALAD (δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase) was the only candidate causative gene identified by three different analysis approaches. Based on single-cell transcriptome data, ALAD was highly expressed in cardiomyocytes and double mutations of human ALAD dramatically reduced its enzyme activity in vitro compared to negative control. Functional analysis of ALAD inhibition in mice resulted in a Keshan phenotype with left ventricular enlargement and cardiac dysfunction, whereas administration of sodium selenite markedly reversed the changes caused by ALAD inhibition. In addition, sodium selenite reversed Keshan phenotypes by affecting energy metabolism and mitochondrial function in mice as shown by the transcriptomic and proteomic data and the ultrastructure of cardiac myocytes. Our findings are the first to demonstrate that the selenium-related gene ALAD is essential for cardiac function by maintaining normal mitochondrial activity, providing strong molecular evidence supporting the hypothesis of selenium deficiency in Keshan disease. These results identified ALAD as a novel target for therapeutic intervention in Keshan disease and Keshan disease-related dilated cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) is an essential element for human health as it is involved in different physiological functions. Moreover, a great number of Se compounds can be considered potential agents in the prevention and treatment of some diseases. It is widely recognized that Se activity is related to multiple factors, such as its chemical form, dose, and its metabolism. The understanding of its complex biochemistry is necessary as it has been demonstrated that the metabolites of the Se molecules used to be the ones that exert the biological activity. Therefore, the aim of this review is to summarize the recent information about its most remarkable metabolites of acknowledged biological effects: hydrogen selenide (HSe−/H2Se) and methylselenol (CH3SeH). In addition, special attention is paid to the main seleno-containing precursors of these derivatives and their role in different pathologies.

Abstract
Glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPx1) is an important cellular antioxidant enzyme that is found in the cytoplasm and mitochondria of mammalian cells. Like most selenoenzymes, it has a single redox-sensitive selenocysteine amino acid that is important for the enzymatic reduction of hydrogen peroxide and soluble lipid hydroperoxides. Glutathione provides the source of reducing equivalents for its function. As an antioxidant enzyme, GPx1 modulates the balance between necessary and harmful levels of reactive oxygen species. In this review, we discuss how selenium availability and modifiers of selenocysteine incorporation alter GPx1 expression to promote disease states. We review the role of GPx1 in cardiovascular and metabolic health, provide examples of how GPx1 modulates stroke and provides neuroprotection, and consider how GPx1 may contribute to cancer risk. Overall, GPx1 is protective against the development and progression of many chronic diseases; however, there are some situations in which increased expression of GPx1 may promote cellular dysfunction and disease owing to its removal of essential reactive oxygen species.

Abstract
PURPOSE The prevalence of Keshan disease (KD) is low and has reached controlled or eliminated levels even in counties that had a high KD prevalence in the past. Few nationwide surveys on selenium levels in KD areas have been conducted in the past 2 decades. We conducted a cross-sectional study to investigate the selenium levels and their association with KD control and prevention in areas where KD is prevalent. METHODS We collected 2143 human-hair, 698 soil, 701 rice, 607 flour, 521 corn, and 330 other-food samples from 49 counties with KD and 19 non-KD counties of nine KD provinces of China. The selenium content of samples was examined with hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry. The difference in selenium levels between the KD and non-KD areas was analyzed. Cochran-Armitage trend tests were used to evaluate the association between selenium levels and KD control. RESULTS The selenium levels in human hair, soil, staple foods, and other foods in the KD areas (0.2996 mg/kg, 0.1380 mg/kg, 0.0190 mg/kg and 0.0076 mg/kg, respectively) were lower than those in the non-KD areas (0.3700 mg/kg, 0.1930 mg/kg, 0.0240 mg/kg and 0.0165 mg/kg, respectively). The Cochran-Armitage tests showed that there was a trend for the selenium standard ratio in the counties to increase in the order of KD uncontrolled, to controlled, to eliminated (Z = 2.229, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The residents in the KD areas were found to be selenium-deficient. Improving the supply of staple foods containing selenium levels exceeding 0.025 mg/kg and abundant foodstuffs might contribute to KD control and prevention.
