Sodium Selenite Ameliorates Silver Nanoparticles Induced Vascular Endothelial Cytotoxic Injury by Antioxidative Properties and Suppressing Inflammation Through Activating the Nrf2 Signaling Pathway.

[PMID: 38150116 PMCID: PMC11339151 DOI: 10.1007/s12011-023-04014-2] [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: 11/03/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 12/28/2023]
Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (AgNP) are the dominant nanomaterials in commercial products and the medical field, but the widespread occurrence of AgNP has become a global threat to human health. Growing studies indicate that AgNP exposure can induce vascular endothelial toxicity by excessive oxidative stress and inflammation, which is closely related to cardiovascular disease (CVD), but the potential intrinsic mechanism remains poorly elucidated. Thus, it has been crucial to control the toxicological effects of AgNP in order to improve their safety and increase the outcome of their applications.Multiple researches have demonstrated that sodium selenite (Se) possesses the capability to counteract the toxicity of AgNP, but the functional role of Se in AgNP-induced CVD is largely unexplored. The aim of this study was to explore the potential protective effect of Se on AgNP-induced vascular endothelial lesion and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. An in vivo model of toxicity in animals was established by the instillation of 200 µL of AgNP into the trachea of rats both with (0.2 mg/kg/day) and without Se treated. In vitro experiments, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were incubated with AgNP (0.3 µg/mL ) and Se for a duration of 24 h. Utilizing transmission electron microscopy, we observed that the internalization of AgNP-induced endothelial cells was desquamated from the internal elastic lamina, the endoplasmic reticulum was dilated, and the medullary vesicle formed. Se treatment reduced the levels of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), inhibited the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines (specifically tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6), improved endothelial cell permeability, integrity, and dysfunction, and prevented damage to the aortic endothelium caused by AgNP. Importantly, we found that Se showed the capacity against AgNP with biological functions in guiding the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging and meanwhile exhibiting anti-inflammation effects. Se supplementation decreased the intracellular ROS release and suppressed NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) mediated inflammation within AgNP-intoxicated rats and HUVECs. The anti-oxidant stress and anti-inflammatory effects of Se were at least partly dependent on nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2). Overall, our results indicated that the protectiveness of Se against AgNP-induced vascular endothelial toxicity injury was at least attributed to the inhibition of oxidative ROS and pro-inflammatory NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome by activating the Nrf2 and antioxidant enzyme (HO-1) signal pathway.

Abstract
Trace elements are important components in the body and have fundamental roles in maintaining a healthy and balanced pregnancy process. Either deficiency or excess of trace elements, including selenium, iron, zinc, copper, and magnesium can lead to pregnancy complications. As a rare disorder during pregnancy of unknown aetiology, intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) poses a significant risk to the fetus of perinatal mortality. ICP is a multifactorial complication of which the pathogenesis is still an enigma. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated the association of ICP with some trace elements. Evidence from retrospective studies in humans further revealed the possible contributing roles of trace elements in the pathogenesis of ICP. The published literature on the association of trace elements with ICP was reviewed. Recent advances in molecular biological techniques from animal studies have helped to elucidate the possible mechanisms by how these trace elements function in regulating oxidative reactions, inflammatory reactions and immune balance in the maternal-fetal interface, as well as the influence on hepato-intestinal circulation of bile acid. The scenario regarding the role of trace elements in the pathogenesis of ICP is still developing. The administration or depletion of these trace elements may have promising effects in alleviating the symptoms and improving the pregnancy outcomes of ICP.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have excellent antimicrobial properties, as they can inhibit multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens. Furthermore, bio-AgNPs have potential applications in medicine due to their low toxicity and high stability. Here, AgNPs were synthesized from the biomass of Aeromonas caviae isolated from a sediment sample and subsequently characterized. The UV-Vis spectra of AgNPs in aqueous medium peaked at 417 nm, matching their plasmon absorption. The X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) pattern of AgNPs showed four peaks at 2θ values, corresponding to Ag diffraction faces. Absorption band peaks at 3420.16, 1635.54, and 1399.43 cm-1 were identified by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis as belonging to functional groups of AgNP-associated biomolecules. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that the nanoparticles are spherical and pseudospherical, with sizes of 15-25 nm. Agar well diffusion minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) assays were used to assess the antibacterial activity of the nanoparticles against MDR pathogens. AgNPs exhibited antibacterial activity against MDR bacteria. Two groups of albino rats received intraperitoneal injections of AgNPs at 15 mg/kg or 30 mg/kg for 7 days. Blood, kidney, and liver samples were collected to investigate hematological, biochemical, and histopathological alterations. Administered AgNPs in rats fluctuated in liver and kidney function parameters. The ultrastructural impacts of AgNPs were more prominent at higher doses. The results proved the easy, fast, and efficient synthesis of AgNPs using A. caviae isolates and demonstrated the remarkable potential of these AgNPs as antibacterial agents. Nanotoxicological studies are required to identify the specific dose that balances optimal antibacterial activity with minimal toxicity to human health.

Biol Trace Elem Res 2024:10.1007/s12011-024-04209-1.

Abstract
Recently, gold nanoparticles (Au Nps) have gained tremendous attention for its unique properties as a safe nanocarrier for delivering drugs that are used in different disease diagnoses. Although silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) have been generally applied due to their strong antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and antimicrobial properties, their toxicity is a subject of sustained debate, thus requiring further studies. The present study aims to evaluate the potential protective effect of gold nanoparticles and phthalocyanine-gold nanoconjugates (Pc-Au NCs) against the hepatorenal toxicity of silver nanoparticles in male rats. Herein, 60 adult male Rattus norvegicus rats were divided into six equal groups (n = 10/group); the first group was kept as control, the second received gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) intraperitoneally (10 µg/kg) daily for 3 weeks, the third group is gold-phthalocyanine (Pc-Au) group where rats were injected intraperitoneally with gold-phthalocyanine for 3 weeks (10 µg/kg), the fourth group received silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) (4 mg/kg) daily intraperitoneally for 3 weeks, the fifth group is silver + gold nanoparticles group (Ag + Au), and the sixth is silver + gold-phthalocyanine nanoconjugates (Ag + Pc-Au) group in which rats were intraperitoneally injected firstly with Ag NPs (4 mg/kg) for 3 weeks then with gold or gold-phthalocyanine for another 3 weeks (10 µg/kg). Our results revealed that Ag NPs could increase the serum AST, ALT, ALP, urea, creatinine, and lipid profile and significantly decreased the total protein and albumin. Moreover, histopathological alterations detected in the kidney and the liver of the Ag NPs group included vascular congestion, inflammatory cell infiltration, and tissue distortion. Alongside, exposure to Ag NPs induces hepatic and renal oxidative stress by suppressing the antioxidant-related genes including glutathione peroxidase 1 (gpx1), superoxide dismutase (sod), and catalase (cat). Ag NPs also upregulated the hepatic and renal genes involved in inflammation such as the interleukin-6 (il-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (tnf-α), nuclear factor kappa B (nf-κβ), apoptosis such as the BCL2 associated X (bax), casp3, and other related to metabolism including asparagine synthetase (asns), suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (socs3), MYC proto-oncogene (myc), and C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (ccl2). On the other hand, treatment with Au NPs and Pc-Au NCs could effectively ameliorate the hepatorenal damages induced by Ag NPs and improve liver and kidney architecture and function, especially in the Pc-Au NCs group. Briefly, our study revealed the underlined mechanism of Ag NPs hepatotoxic and nephrotoxic effects and that Pc-Au NCs could alleviate these adverse impacts via their anti-oxidative, anti-apoptotic, and anti-inflammatory activities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lead (Pb) poisoning posing a crucial health risk, especially among children, causing devastating damage not only to brain development, but also to kidney function. Thus, an urgent need persists to identify highly effective, safe, and low-toxicity drugs for the treatment of Pb poisoning. The present study focused on exploring the protective effects of Se on Pb-induced nephrotoxicity in weaning rats and human renal tubular epithelial cells, and investigated the possible mechanisms. METHODS Forty weaning rats were randomly divided into four groups in vivo: control, Pb-exposed, Pb+Se and Se. Serum creatinine (Cr), urea nitrogen (BUN) and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining were performed to evaluate renal function. The activities of antioxidant enzymes in the kidney tissue were determined. In vitro experiments were performed using human renal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2 cells). The cytotoxicity of Pb and Se was detected by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Inverted fluorescence microscope was used to investigate cell morphological changes and the fluorescence intensity of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The oxidative stress parameters were measured by a multi-detection reader. Nuclear factor-erythroid-2-related factor (NRF2) signaling pathways were measured by Western blot and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in HK-2 cells. RESULTS We found that Se alleviated Pb-induced kidney injury by relieving oxidative stress and reducing the inflammatory index. Se significantly increased the activity of the antioxidant enzymes glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), whereas it decreased the excessive release of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the kidneys of weaning rats and HK-2 cells. Additionally, Se enhanced the antioxidant defense systems via activating the NRF2 transcription factor, thereby promoting the to downstream expression of heme oxygenase 1. Furthermore, genes encoding glutamate-cysteine ligase synthetase catalytic (GCLC), glutamate-cysteine ligase synthetase modifier (GCLM) and NADPH quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), downstream targets of NRF2, formed a positive feedback loop with NRF2 during oxidative stress responses. The MTT assay results revealed a significant decrease in cell viability with Se treatment, and the cytoprotective role of Se was blocked upon knockdown of NRF2 by small interfering RNA (siRNA). MDA activity results also showed that NRF2 knockdown inhibited the NRF2-dependent transcriptional activity of Se. CONCLUSIONS Our findings demonstrate that Se ameliorated Pb-induced nephrotoxicity by reducing oxidative stress both in vivo and in vitro. The molecular mechanism underlying Se's action in Pb-induced kidney injury is related to the activation of the NRF2 transcription factor and the activity of antioxidant enzymes, ultimately suppressing ROS accumulation.

Abstract
The unique physicochemical properties inherent to nanoscale materials have unveiled numerous potential applications, spanning beyond the pharmaceutical and medical sectors into various consumer industries like food and cosmetics. Consequently, humans encounter nanomaterials through diverse exposure routes, giving rise to potential health considerations. Noteworthy among these materials are silica and specific metallic nanoparticles, extensively utilized in consumer products, which have garnered substantial attention due to their propensity to accumulate and induce adverse effects in the liver. This review paper aims to provide an exhaustive examination of the molecular mechanisms underpinning nanomaterial-induced hepatotoxicity, drawing insights from both in vitro and in vivo studies. Primarily, the most frequently observed manifestations of toxicity following the exposure of cells or animal models to various nanomaterials involve the initiation of oxidative stress and inflammation. Additionally, we delve into the existing in vitro models employed for evaluating the hepatotoxic effects of nanomaterials, emphasizing the persistent endeavors to advance and bolster the reliability of these models for nanotoxicology research.

Abstract
Trichinellosis is a worldwide zoonotic disease. The majority of currently available anti-trichinellosis medications exhibit inadequate efficacy. The efficacy of a natively prepared new formulation of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) was evaluated in the treatment of Trichinella spiralis (T. spiralis) infection in mice alone and combined with multivitamin-mineral (MM). After investigating the product's biological and pharmacological characteristics, its therapeutic dose was estimated to be Ag-NPs at 21.5 mg/kg B.W. This dose was orally inoculated to experimentally infected mice at 3-5 days post-inoculation (dpi) against the mature worms, at 8-10 dpi against the newborn larvae, and at 33-35th dpi against the encapsulated larvae. Each treatment's efficacy was assessed by scarifying control and treated mice 3 days post-treatment. The drug alone or in supplement form has a high trichinocidal effect exceeding that of the reference drug. Early treatment (3-5 dpi) by Ag-NPs or Ag-NPs + MM and albendazole revealed high efficacy against the intestinal stage, reaching 93.3%, 94.7%, and 90.6% for the three treatments, respectively. The materials causing a significant (P-value < 0.001) decrease in the mean encapsulated larvae reached 86.61%, 89.07%, and 88.84%/gm of muscles using the three treatments, respectively. Moreover, all larvae extracted from Ag-NPs-treated groups failed to induce infection post-inoculation in new mice. Additionally, combining the material with MM proved to overcome the reversible adverse effects of silver material on the estimated redox parameters and liver and kidney biomarkers, denoting its ability to alleviate Ag-NP toxicity. In conclusion, the high trichinocidal effect of Ag-NPs against the adult and encapsulated larvae during a short inoculation period introduced Ag-NPs as an alternative to other nematicidal drugs.

Abstract
Selenium (Se), an essential trace element, plays an important role in the antioxidative defense mechanism, and it has been proven to improve fertility and reproductive efficiency in dairy cattle. The present study evaluated the potential protective action of Se supplement of in vitro maturation (IVM) media on the maturation and subsequent development of bovine cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) exposed to heat stress (HS). The treatment with Se improved the viability of cumulus cells (CCs) and oocytes (P < 0.05). The proportion of oocytes reached metaphase II (MII) and those arrested at metaphase I (MI) was greater and lower in treatment than control respectively (P < 0.05). Supplementation with Se increased the percentage of cleaved embryos, total blastocysts, and blastocyst/cleavage ratio (P < 0.05). Moreover, the upregulation of CCND1, SEPP1, GPX-4, SOD, CAT, and downregulation of GRP78, CHOP, and BAX in both Se-treated CCs and oocytes were recorded. The upregulation of NRF2 was detected in Se-treated CCs other than in oocytes, which showed upregulation of IGF2R and SOX-2 as the markers of quality as well. Se supplement in IVM media improved the viability, maturation, and the level of transcripts related to antioxidant defense and quality of heat-treated oocytes, which coincided with greater subsequent development outcomes. Se ameliorated the viability of CCs along with upregulation of antioxidative candidate gene expression and downregulation of apoptosis-related ones to support their protective role on restoring the quality of oocytes against compromising effects of HS.

Abstract
This study was designed to evaluate the protective potentials of chitosan nanoparticles (ChNPs) against silver nanoparticle (AgNP)-induced reproductive toxicity in male Wister albino rats. AgNPs, ChNPs, and AgNPs particles coated with ChNPs were characterized by using transmission electron microscope. Control rats were injected interperitoneally with 0.5% aqueous carboxymethyl cellulose. Second group was given ChNPs at a dose 300 mg/kg bwt. Third group was given AgNPs at a dose 50 mg/kg bwt. Fourth group was given AgNPs with chitosan nanoparticles simultaneously. Fifth group was given silver nanoparticles coated with chitosan nanoparticles at a dose 300 mg/kg bwt. TEM showed the formation of AgNPs with average size of 42.7 nm, ChNPs with average size of 33.3 nm, and AgNPs coated with ChNPs with average size of 48.1 nm. AgNPs significantly reduced serum levels of FSH, LH, testosterone and prolactin, sperm count, morphology index, vitality, total motility and progressive motility, the activities of catalase and superoxide dismutase, and the concentration of reduced glutathione in testicular tissues. However, it significantly increased malondialdehyde concentration in testicular tissues, sperm abnormalities, testicular tissue damages, non-progressive motility, and immotile sperms. On the contrast, ChNPs ameliorated AgNP-induced alteration in serum levels of sex hormones, spermogram, and testicular tissue's structure and functions. These results indicated that ChNPs had protective potential against AgNP-induced reproductive toxicity and ChNPs coating AgNPs had more potent protective effect than ChNPs administrated together with AgNPs.

Abstract
Cadmium is a global ecological toxic pollutant; in animals, hepatotoxic fibrosis is caused by bioaccumulation of Cd through food chains. We determined the path of nano-Se antagonism in Cd-induced hepatocyte pyroptosis by targeting the APJ-AMPK-PGC1α pathway, using an in vivo model of hepatotoxicity. All 1-day-old chicks were treated with Cd (140 mg/kg BW/day) and/or nano-Se (0.3 or 0.6 mg/kg BW/day) for 90 days. The result showed that Cd (1.55 ± 0.148) activated NLRP3 inflammasome 49.903% as compared to the Con group (1.034 ± 0.008) to release the inflammasome as a result of hepatocyte pyroptosis (2.824 ± 0.057). Compared with the Con group (1.010 ± 0.021), Kupffer cells were 219.109% more to activate astrocytes through the APJ-AMPK-PGC1α pathway, resulting in 185.149% more hepatic fibrosis. However, the fibrosis degree of the H-Se + Cd group (1.252 ± 0.056) was 56.5278% (p < 0.001) lower than that of the Cd group (2.880 ± 0.124). Therefore, this study established that pyroptotic hepatocytes and Kupffer cells could be targeted for nano-Se antagonizing Cd toxicity, which reveals a potential new approach targeting astrocytes for the treatment of liver fibrosis triggered by Cd pollution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Higher environmental temperature is a major abiotic stress factor for animals and human beings. The selenium (Se) is an important trace mineral having diverse health promoting effects under stress conditions. However, studies on dietary requirement of selenium under prolonged heat stress condition are lacking. Present study discern the effect of higher dietary Se levels on antioxidant, cytokine, haemato-biochemical profile, and immune response, and the selenoproteins mRNA expression in rats under prolonged heat stress (HS) condition. METHODS Weaned Wistar rats (4 wk age; 67.6 ± 1.53 g BW; n = 72) housed under thermoneutral (TN) or HS conditions and fed with purified diets containing three graded Se levels were divided in six experimental groups. The groups were 1) TN control with 138 ppb Se (TN_CON), 2) HS control with 138 ppb Se (HS_CON), 3) TN with higher Se @ 291 ppb (TN_Se1), 4) HS with higher Se @ 291 ppb (HS_Se1) 5) TN with higher Se @ 460 ppb (TN_Se2), 6) HS with higher Se @ 460 ppb (HS_Se2). Rats in all the six groups were maintained in TN environmental conditions (57.3 ± 0.22 temperature humidity index; THI) for initial 28 days period. Subsequently, rats of HS groups were exposed to 77.0 ± 0.11 THI for 6 h/d in a psychrometric chamber for last fourteen days. RESULTS Higher dietary Se (291 and 460 ppb) significantly improved the blood hemoglobin concentration and reduced serum alanine aminotransferase activity of rats under HS conditions. The serum triiodothyronine and insulin levels were significantly higher in high dietary Se groups irrespective of the environmental conditions. Similarly, the serum reduced glutathione levels, and catalase and superoxide dismutase enzyme activity were increased and malondialdehyde levels were reduced in high dietary Se groups irrespective of stress conditions. The glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity was significantly higher in 460 ppb dietary Se groups as compared to other groups. The serum pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)- 1 was declined, whereas the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 level was increased in high dietary Se fed rats under both HS and TN conditions with 460 ppb dietary Se groups showing pronounced effects. Further, there was heat stress- and dietary Se level dependent- up regulation in hepatic GPx and iodothyronine deiodinase-II mRNA expression and similar pattern was noticed in hepatic thioredoxin reductase mRNA expression. The selenoprotein-P mRNA expression was up regulated in 460 ppb Se fed HS group as compared to CON and Se1_C groups. High dietary Se improved the humoral immune response 7d after antigen inoculation under HS conditions whereas cell-mediated immune response was augmented in rats fed higher Se under TN condition. CONCLUSION It is concluded that under prolonged heat stress conditions the dietary requirement of Se may be increased to 460 ppb for improving the antioxidant status and humoral immune response, cytokine levels, modulating the thyroid and insulin hormone, and the selenoproteins mRNA expression of rats.

Abstract
Despite the extraordinary use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in medicinal purposes and the food industry, there is rising worry about potential hazards to human health and the environment. The existing study aims to assess the hepatotoxic effects of different dosages of AgNPs by evaluating hematobiochemical parameters, oxidative stress, liver morphological alterations, immunohistochemical staining, and gene expression to clarify the mechanism of AgNPs' hepatic toxic potential. Forty male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly assigned into control and three AgNPs intraperitoneally treated groups 0.25, 0.5, and 1 mg/kg b.w. daily for 15 and 30 days. AgNP exposure reduced body weight, caused haematological abnormalities, and enhanced hepatic oxidative and nitrosative stress with depletion of the hepatic GSH level. Serum hepatic injury biomarkers with pathological hepatic lesions where cholangiopathy emerges as the main hepatic alteration in a dosage- and duration-dependent manner were also elevated. Furthermore, immunohistochemical labelling of apoptotic markers demonstrated that Bcl-2 was significantly downregulated while caspase-3 was significantly upregulated. In conclusion, the hepatotoxic impact of AgNPs may be regulated by two mechanisms, implying the apoptotic/antiapoptotic pathway via raising BAX and inhibiting Bcl-2 expression levels in a dose-dependent manner. The TGF-β1 and α-SMA pathway which triggered fibrosis with incorporation of iNOS which consequently activates the inflammatory process were also elevated. To our knowledge, there has been no prior report on the experimental administration of AgNPs in three different dosages for short and long durations in rats with the assessment of Bcl-2, BAX, iNOS, TGF-β1, and α-SMA gene expressions.

Abstract
Sliver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used in industry, agriculture, and medicine, potentially resulting in adverse effects on human health and aquatic environments. Here, we investigated the developmental toxicity of zebrafish embryos with acute exposure to AgNPs. Our results demonstrated developmental defects in 4 hpf zebrafish embryos after exposure to different concentrations of AgNPs for 72 h. In addition, RNA-seq profiling of zebrafish embryos after AgNPs treatment. Further Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses showed that the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were enriched in DNA replication initiation, oxidoreductase activity, DNA replication, cellular senescence, and oxidative phosphorylation signaling pathways in the AgNPs-treated group. Notably, we also found that AgNPs exposure could result in the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA), the inhibition of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and mitochondrial complex I-V activities, and the downregulated expression of SOD, CAT, and mitochondrial complex I-IV chain-related genes. Moreover, the expression of mitochondrion-mediated apoptosis signaling pathway-related genes, such as bax, bcl2, caspase-3, and caspase-9, was significantly regulated after AgNPs exposure in zebrafish. Therefore, these findings demonstrated that AgNPs exposure could cause oxidative stress, induce mitochondrial dysfunction, and ultimately lead to developmental toxicity.

Abstract
Selenium has an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and possibly antitumoral action. Thus, we hypothesized that this element could be an ally in cancer treatment. We evaluated the effect of chelated selenium treatment of BALB/c mice with Erhlich Tumor on tumor size, histology, and biochemical parameters of the liver. A total of 96 male mice were treated for 7, 15, and 30 days with different doses of chelated selenium. During the 7 days of treatment, livers presented mild hydropic degeneration; after 15 days, the livers presented mild hydropic degeneration, inflammatory infiltrate, and steatosis, which was intensified in the animals treated for 30 days. Biochemical analysis showed an increase of the alanine transaminase enzyme in those animals, indicating hepatotoxicity. At the beginning of treatment, selenium was able to inhibit tumor growth. After 30 days of treatment, however, hepatotoxicity could be seen.

Abstract
AIMS Obesity is associated with a spectrum of hepatic abnormalities that can be experimentally induced by injections of monosodium glutamate (MSG) in neonatal rodents. We investigated the protective actions of the repeated therapy with 4-phenylselenyl-7-chloroquinoline (4-PSQ), a quinoline derivative containing selenium, on damage to the liver triggered by early postnatal administration of MSG in male Wistar rats. MAIN METHODS Neonatal rats received MSG (4 g/kg, subcutaneous route) or saline (1 ml/kg) from 5 to 14 postnatal day (PND) to induce obesity with consequent damages in the liver. 4-PSQ treatment (5 mg/kg) or canola oil (1 ml/kg) was administered from 60 to 76 PND by the intragastric route. On 76 PND, animals were anesthetized for blood and liver collection. Plasma markers of hepatic function, hepatic lipoperoxidation levels and histology analysis of liver tissue were assessed. KEY FINDINGS Our data revealed that treatment with 4-PSQ reverted the increase in plasma transaminases activities observed in MSG rats. Treatment with 4-PSQ reduced plasma lactate levels in obese rats. In the liver, MSG elevated the content of lipoperoxidation which was reverted by 4-PSQ administrations. Lastly, 4-PSQ therapy attenuated the histological alterations induced by MSG. SIGNIFICANCE Together, the results indicate a hepatoprotective action of repeated treatment with 4-PSQ in obese rats.

Abstract
Objective(s): Acrylamide (ACR), has wide uses in different industries. ACR induced several toxicities including neurotoxicity and hepatotoxicity. The probable protective effects of selenium on ACR-induced neurotoxicity and hepatotoxicity in rats were evaluated. Materials and Methods: Male Wistar rats were studied for 11 days in 8 groups: 1. Control, 2. ACR (50 mg/kg, IP), 3-5. ACR+ selenium (0.2, 0.4, 0.6 mg/kg, IP), 6. ACR+ the most effective dose of selenium (0.6 mg/kg, IP) three days after ACR administration, 7. ACR+ vitamin E (200 mg/kg IP, every other day) 8. Selenium (0.6 mg/kg IP). Finally, behavioral tests were done. The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), Bcl-2, Bax and caspase 3 proteins in liver and cerebral cortex tissues were measured. Also, the amount of albumin, total protein, alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) enzymes were determined in serum. Results: ACR caused the severe motor impairment, increased MDA level and decreased GSH content, enhanced Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and caspase 3 proteins in brain and liver tissues. Besides, the level of AST was elevated while the total serum protein and albumin levels were decreased. Administration of selenium (0.6 mg/kg) (from the first day of the experiment and the third day) significantly recovered locomotor disorders, increased GSH content, and reduced MDA level. Also, selenium decreased Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and caspase 3 levels in brain and liver tissues. Conclusion: The oxidative stress and apoptosis pathways have important roles in neurotoxicity and hepatotoxicity of ACR. Selenium significantly reduced ACR-induced toxicity through inhibition of oxidative stress and apoptosis.

Abstract
The current investigation pointed to report the negative impacts of silver nanoparticles [Ag]NPs that synthesized by leaf extract of Moringa oleifera on oxidative stress biomarkers of Oreochromis niloticus, as well as the role of different Selenium type to antagonistic that toxicity. Fish were exposed to [Ag]NPs (1.95 and 3.9 ppm) as sublethal concentrations alongside 0.1 ppm of Se bulk and 0.1 ppm biosynthesized [Se]NPs selenium nanoparticles antagonistic effect for 2 and 4 weeks. Lipid peroxidation (LPO), DNA fragmentation, total antioxidant capacity (TAOC), catalase (CAT), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were evaluated as oxidative stress biomarkers,. A significant increase (p < 0.05) in LPO and DNA fragmentation and a significant decrease (p < 0.05) in TAOC, CAT, and SOD were found in [Ag]NPs exposed groups when compared with the control one. Biosynthesized [Se]NPs and Se bulk showed a positive role in [Ag]NPs detoxification. Our investigation suggested that [Ag]NPs showed a toxic effect on oxidative stress biomarkers. However, Se-NP addition gives a good recovery of oxidative biomarkers more than Se bulk in detoxification of [Ag]NPs.

Abstract
In recent decades, aquaculture has played a significant role in fulfilling the vast demand for animal protein requirements and consequently in food security. However, environmental contamination and disease prevalence are considered essential challenges for the sector. In this regard, new approaches have been paved in technology to deal effectively with such challenges. Among these, nanotechnology-as a novel and innovative tool-has a broad spectrum of uses and a tremendous potential in aquaculture and seafood preservation. It can provide new technologies for management of drugs as liberation of vaccines and therefore hold the assurance for civilized protection of farmed fish against disease-causing pathogens. This article presents a review of nanotechnology and its applications in aquaculture. Additionally, it gives a brief idea about the fish disease and classical ways of controlling pathogens. On the other hand, this review sheds the light on nanotechnology as a potential novel tool which may possibly enhance the management and the control of disease prevalence. Therefore, the importance of this technology to promote sustainable aquaculture has also been highlighted. Focusing on the role of selenium nanoparticles as an efficient element is discussed also in this article.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd), a major environmental contaminant, is closely associated with male reproductive health. Selenium (Se) has been recognized as an effective chemo-protectant against Cd toxicity, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The objective of present study was to illustrate the toxic effect of Cd on testis, and then compare the antagonistic effect among different Se sources on growth performance, testicular damage, ion homeostasis, antioxidative potential, and the expression of selenotranscriptome and biosynthetic related factors in Cd-treated chicken. Male chickens were fed with (Ⅰ) Control group: basal diet; (Ⅱ) Cd group: basal diet with 140 mg/kg CdCl2; (Ⅲ) YSe + Cd group: basal diet with 140 mg/kg CdCl2 and 3 mg/kg Yeast-Se; (Ⅳ) NSe + Cd group: basal diet with 140 mg/kg CdCl2 and 1 mg/kg Nano-Se; (Ⅴ) SSe + Cd group: basal diet with 140 mg/kg CdCl2 and 3 mg/kg Na2SeO3. It was observed that different Se treatments dramatically alleviated Cd-induced testicular developmental disorder, ion homeostasis disorder, hormone secretion disorder and oxidative stress. Simultaneously, Se mitigated Cd-induced testicular toxicity by regulating selenoprotein biosynthetic related factors to promote selenoprotein transcription. Finally, this study indicated that dietary supplementation of Yeast-Se produced an acceptable Se form to protect testis from Cd exposure.

Abstract
The unique physicochemical properties of materials at nanoscale have opened a plethora of opportunities for applications in the pharmaceutical and medical field, but also in consumer products from food and cosmetics industries. As a consequence, daily human exposure to nanomaterials through distinct routes is considerable and, therefore, may raise health concerns. Many nanomaterials have been described to accumulate and induce adversity in the liver. Among these, silica and some types of metallic nanoparticles are the most broadly used in consumer products and, therefore, the most studied and reported. The reviewed literature was collected from PubMed.gov during the month of March 2020 using the search words "nanomaterials induced hepatotoxicity", which yielded 181 papers. This present paper reviews the hepatotoxic effects of nanomaterials described in in vitro and in vivo studies, with emphasis on the underlying mechanisms. The induction of oxidative stress and inflammation are the manifestations of toxicity most frequently reported following exposure of cells or animal models to different nanomaterials. Furthermore, the available in vitro models for the evaluation of the hepatotoxic effects of nanomaterials are discussed, highlighting the continuous interest in the development of more advanced and reliable in vitro models for nanotoxicology.

Abstract
Background The application of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is growing exponentially, and its potential damage to the cardiac remains to be elucidated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the ameliorative effect of sodium selenite on silver nanoparticles-induced myocardiocyte structural alterations in rats. Materials and Methods Forty male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into four groups: control group, AgNPs group, Se control group, and AgNPs + Se group. SD rats were administered AgNPs through a single intratracheal instillation, and sodium selenite was given by intraperitoneal injection for seven days. Cardiac function was determined by echocardiography and hemodynamic, ultrastructural changes by transmission electron microscopy examination. Mitochondrial fission and autophagy markers were measured by Western blotting. Results AgNPs caused a significant decrease in cardiac contraction, diastolic dysfunction, fragmentation, and lysis of the myofibrils, the formation of stenosis in the capillary, damaging the mitochondria membrane and cristae. AgNPs significantly increased mitochondrial fission markers dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1), phospho-Drp1 (p-Drp1), and mitochondrial fission protein 1 (Fis1), as well as autophagy marker LC3 II/I (P<0.05). Treatment with sodium selenite is capable of protecting cardiac function from AgNPs toxicity through attenuating ultrastructural alterations, stabilizing mitochondrial dynamic balance and blocking mitochondrial autophagy. Conclusion We conclude that the protection of sodium selenite against silver nanoparticles-induced myocardiocyte structural alterations is associated with stabilizing mitochondrial dynamic balance and mitophagy.

Hepatotoxic Effect of Oral Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles and the Ameliorating Role of Selenium in Rats: A histological, immunohistochemical and molecular study. Tissue Cell 2020; 67:101441.

Abstract
Despite the emerging concerns about the hepatotoxic risks associated with Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs), yet, the morphological and molecular alterations associated with these extensively-used nanoparticles remain to be elucidated. Thus, the current study has been designed to analyze the effect of ZnO NPs on the hepatic histopathological and immunohistochemical changes, along with the modulation of the oxidative-stress induced JNK/p38MAPK and the STAT-3 signalling. The study also explored the potential protective role of selenium against those alterations. ZnO NPs disrupted the hepatic architecture, elevated the serum liver enzyme alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels and caused dose-dependent decrease in the activity of the antioxidant enzymes glutathione-peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and catalase along with an increase in the lipid peroxidation product malondialdehyde. ZnO NPs also increased the area of immune-reactivity of the apoptotic protein bax and decreased the area of immune-reactivity of the anti-apoptotic protein bcl2 together with augmentation of the hepatic caspase 3 gene expression. The role of selenium in ameliorating the hepatotoxicity, oxidative stress injury, and apoptosis induced by ZnO-NPs, along with its role in modulating the JNK/p38MAPK and the STAT-3 signalling and improving the histopathological hepatic changes, offers selenium as a promising adjunctive therapy in individuals subjected to high concentrations of ZnO NPs especially in cases of extensive occupational, medicinal and industrial exposure.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element with important functions in animals and whose deficiency is associated with reproductive failures. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Se concentrations during in vitro maturation (IVM) of Bos taurus oocyte within the reference ranges for Se status in cattle. For this purpose, Aberdeen Angus cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were matured in IVM medium supplemented with 0, 10, 50, and 100 ng/mL Se (control, deficient, marginal, and adequate, respectively). The results demonstrated that marginal and adequate Se concentrations added during IVM increased viability and non-apoptotic cumulus cells (CC). Moreover, the addition of Se to culture media decreased malondialdehyde level in COC with all studied concentrations and increased total glutathione content in CC and oocytes with 10 ng/mL Se. On the other hand, total antioxidant capacity of COC, nuclear maturation, and the developmental capacity of oocytes were not modified by Se supplementation. However, 10 ng/mL Se increased hatching rate. In conclusion, supplementation with 10 ng/mL Se during in vitro maturation of Bos primigenius taurus oocytes should be considered to improve embryo quality.

Abstract
The present study aims to investigate the hepatoprotective effects of selenium on toxicity induced by 'Désormone Lourd' based on 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid in Wistar rats. Male Wistar rats were divided into four groups and were treated orally. The (C) group was used as a control, while the test groups were treated with Se (0.2 mg/kg b.w.), 2,4-D (5 mg/kg b.w.) or both (2,4-D + Se) for 4 weeks. Our results showed that chronic treatment with 2,4-D resulted in hepatotoxicity, as revealed by an increase in liver function markers Aminotransferases (ALT, AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and total bilirubin (TB), along with reduced total protein content and albumin. An overall pro-oxidant effect was associated with a decrease in the reduced glutathione (GSH) content and the enzymatic activity of glutathione-S-transferase (GST), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and an increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) and protein carbonyl levels (PCO). Microscopic observation of liver in 2,4-D-treated rats reveals lesions, which results in perivascular inflammatory infiltration around the vessel, sinusoidal dilatation and vacuolization of hepatocytes. However, selenium supplementation in 2,4-D-treated rats elicited a reduction in the toxic effects of the pesticide by improving the studied parameters, which was confirmed by the histological study of the liver. Selenium appears to have a promising prophylactic effect through its effective anti-radical action against the hepatotoxic effects of 2,4-D.

Abstract
Background With the increased application of Silver nanoparticles (AgNP), its potential concerns to the health of human beings remain to be defined. This study aims to explore the harmful effects of AgNP on lung tissue in animals and to examine the mechanisms of protection achieved by sodium selenite. Methods Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats were exposed to AgNP (200 μL,1mg/mL) through a single intratracheal instillation. Sodium selenite (0.2mg/kg) was i.p. injected. Malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) were measured using a spectrophotometer. Histological outcomes and ultrastructural changes were assessed by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and electronic microscopy. Caspases and mitochondrial fission and fusion markers were measured by Western blotting. Results The histopathologic findings showed that AgNP significantly increased the thickness of alveolar septa, accumulation of macrophage, and the formation of pulmonary bullae and pulmonary consolidation. Ultrastructural studies showed localization of AgNP inside the mitochondria, hyperplasia and vacuolation of type I and type II alveolar cells, lysis of osmiophilic lamellar bodies, and swollen of the mitochondria. AgNP elevated MDA and reduced GSH levels. AgNP activated caspases-3, increased mitochondrial fission markers Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) and phospho-Drp1(p-Drp1), and decreased fusion proteins optic atrophy 1 (Opa1) and mitofusins 2 (Mfn2). Treatment with sodium selenite for 7 days corrected the AgNP-caused alterations in morphological, ultrastructural, oxidative stress, caspase-3 activation and mitochondrial dynamic imbalance. Conclusion We conclude that the exposure of AgNP causes lung tissue damage by enhances oxidative stress, activates caspases-3, and triggers mitochondrial dynamic imbalance towards fission. Sodium selenite effectively detoxifies the AgNP-induced damage to the lung tissue by preventing the above alterations.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are used in food packaging materials, dental care products and other consumer goods and can result in oral exposure. To determine whether AgNP coatings modulate transcriptional responses to AgNP exposure, we exposed mice orally to 20 nm citrate (cit)-coated AgNPs (cit-AgNPs) or polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-coated AgNPs (PVP-AgNPs) at a 4 mg/kg dose for 7 consecutive days and analyzed changes in the expression of protein-coding genes and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), a new class of regulatory RNAs, in the liver. We identified unique and common expression signatures of protein-coding and lncRNA genes, altered biological processes and signaling pathways, and coding-non-coding gene interactions for cit-AgNPs and PVP-AgNPs. Commonly regulated genes comprised only about 10 and 20 percent of all differentially expressed genes in PVP-AgNP and cit-AgNP exposed mice, respectively. Commonly regulated biological processes included glutathione metabolic process and cellular oxidant detoxification. Commonly regulated pathways included Keap-Nrf2, PPAR, MAPK and IL-6 signaling pathways. The coding-non-coding gene co-expression analysis revealed that protein-coding genes were co-expressed with a variable number of lncRNAs ranging from one to twenty three and may share functional roles with the protein-coding genes. PVP-AgNP exposure induced a more robust transcriptional response than cit-AgNP exposure characterized by more than two-fold higher number of differentially expressed both protein- coding and lncRNA genes. Our data demonstrate that the surface coating strongly modulates the spectrum and the number of differentially expressed genes after oral AgNP exposure. On the other hand, our data suggest that AgNP exposure can alter drug and chemical sensitivity, metabolic homeostasis and cancer risk irrespective of the coating type, warranting further investigations.

Assessment of intermittent exposure of zinc oxide nanoparticle (ZNP)-mediated toxicity and biochemical alterations in the splenocytes of male Wistar rat.

Abstract
Nanoparticles are being used extensively and found in applications to various fields ranging from agriculture to electronic devices, diagnosis to drug delivery, and cosmetics to food packaging. Increasing usage of engineered nanomaterials (ENM) raises potential concern for human health as well as to the environment. The present study aims to explore the effects of intermittent intraperitoneal exposure of ZNP on the spleen of male Wistar rat. Animals were divided into three groups, control and ZNP-treated groups (50 mg/kg and 250 mg/kg body weight), six in each group. Experimental animals were treated with different doses of ZNP once a week for 4 weeks, whereas control groups received water. After 28 days of exposure, animals were sacrificed, spleen tissue was excised, and various parameters such as hematological, genotoxicity, antioxidants, and histopathological were studied for changes in spleen if any. Results showed that ZNP exposure manages to induce alteration in various studied hematological parameters like neutrophils, platelets, and eosinophils which are found to increase significantly after the last treatment compared with the first treatment of ZNP. However, hemoglobin content, PCV, and MCV decrease with increasing dose of ZNP significantly in last treatment, when compared with the first treatment. DNA damage was observed in rats treated with a high dose of ZNPs compared with that in the control when analyzed through comet assay. Flow cytometric study was performed for better understanding of the underlying mechanism of the ZNP-mediated toxicity. From the present investigation, an increase in ROS production, a decrease in MMP, and increased apoptosis were exhibited. Further, altered antioxidant level (SOD, CAT, LDH, CYT P450, and CYT b5 r) has been observed in the studied splenic tissue, also histopathological changes observed in the rats exposed with high doses of ZNP. Therefore, ZNP may have the potential to induce a toxic effect even when exposed intermittently.

Effect of Silver Nanoparticle Administration on Productive Performance, Blood Parameters, Antioxidative Status, and Silver Residues in Growing Rabbits under Hot Climate. Animals (Basel) 2019; 9:ani9100845. [PMID: 31640236 PMCID: PMC6826776 DOI: 10.3390/ani9100845] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2019] [Revised: 10/15/2019] [Accepted: 10/17/2019] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were used for their antibacterial effects, which increase productive performance and immune response in poultry and rabbits. On the other hand, residues of silver in meat and the internal organs of treated animals may be toxic for human beings. The current results of using two doses of injecting AgNPs revealed that body weight significantly improved in rabbits given a low dose of AgNPs compared with control animals. For consumers’ health concerns, it is of interest to note that the amount of accumulated silver in blood plasma and meat increased dramatically with an increasing dose. Abstract The influence of subcutaneous injections of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on rabbit performance, hematological and biochemical parameters of blood, antioxidant status, and the residues of silver in meat and blood in two breeds (New Zealand White (NZW) and Jabali) of rabbits growing under high ambient temperature was evaluated. A total of 90 six-week-old rabbits (45 NZW and 45 Jabali) were randomly distributed into three equal treatment groups (control, 0.5 mg, and 1.0 mg AgNPs/kg body weight). The treated rabbits were injected twice a week for four consecutive weeks. The results revealed that AgNPs administration had no significant effect on average daily gain (ADG), feed intake, and feed conversion ratio (FCR). The NZW breed surpassed the Jabali breed in growth performance traits, carcass weight, dressing percentage, and cuts of mid parts and hind cuts. Administration of AgNPs had a significant effect on hematocrit (HCT) and platelet (PLT) values. Rabbits injected with AgNPs at a dose of 0.5 mg showed a lower plasma concentration of total cholesterol and triglycerides than that of control rabbits. The NZW breed had significantly low platelet, total cholesterol, and triglyceride values. Rabbits injected with 0.5 mg/kg BW had the lowest total antioxidant capacity and highest malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione peroxidase. The Ag residues were higher in blood than those in meat in treated rabbits. The local breed (Jabali) had significantly lower residues than the imported one (NZW) either in meat or in blood. However, the amount of accumulated silver in blood plasma and meat increased with increasing dose.

Abstract
We investigated the effect of selenium (Sel), a trace element in diclofenac sodium (DCF), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs-induced hepatic and renal toxicities in adult rats. Five experimental groups namely control, DCF (10 mg/kg), Sel (0.125 mg/kg), DCF + Sel (0.125 mg/kg), and DCF + Sel (0.25 mg/kg) consisting of 10 rats each were orally treated for 7 consecutive days. Following killing, biomarkers of hepatic and renal toxicities, antioxidant enzyme levels, myeloperoxidase activity, nitric oxide levels, reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), and lipid peroxidation (LPO) were analyzed spectrophotometrically. Further, the concentration of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) was assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and hematological indices: white blood cells (WBC), lymphocytes, and neutrophils and eosinophil counts. Results indicated that DCF-induced increases in biomarkers of hepatic and renal toxicity were significantly ( p < 0.05) lessened in serum of rats co-exposed to DCF and Sel in a dose-dependent manner. DCF mediated decrease in antioxidant status, and increases in RONS, LPO, and TNF-α levels were reduced ( p < 0.05) in the liver and kidney of rats co-exposed to DCF and Sel. Additionally, Sel reduced hematological abnormalities associated with DCF treatment. Light microscopic examination showed that the severity of histopathological lesions induced by DCF was lessened in rats co-exposed to DCF and Sel. Taken together, Sel supplementation mitigated DCF-induced oxidative stress, inflammation, and hematological abnormalities in the liver and kidney of treated rats.
