Abstract :

In recent years, numerous studies indicated that organic Se is more bioavailable. However, little has been done about the mechanisms of how Seleno-Methionine (SeMet) protects against AFB1 and OTA - induced toxicity. Firstly, the primary splenocytes isolated from healthy pigs were stimulated by anti-pig-CD3 monoclonal antibodies and treated by various concentrations of SeMet and AFB1. The results showed that SeMet supplementation alleviated the immunotoxicity of AFB1 in a dose-dependent manner. Addition of buthionine sulfoximine abrogated the protective effects of SeMet against AFB1. SeMet enhanced mRNA and protein expression of Glutathione Peroxidase 1 (GPx1), Selenoprotein S (SelS), and thioredoxin reductase 1 without and with AFB1 treatments. Furthermore, knockdown of GPx1 and SelS by GPx1-specific siRNA and SelSspecific siRNA diminished the protective effects of SeMet against AFB1-induced immunotoxicity. Secondly, the protective effects of SeMet against OTA-induced nephrotoxicity were investigated in PK15 cells. The results showed that OTA induced nephrotoxicity in a dose-dependent manner. SeMet at 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 �µM had significant protective effects against OTA-induced nephrotoxicity. Furthermore, SeMet enhanced the activity, mRNA and protein expression of GPx1, mRNA expression of GPx4, mRNA expression of thioredoxin reductase 1 in the presence and absence of OTA. Knock-down of GPx1 by using a GPx1specific siRNA eliminated the protective effects of SeMet against OTA-induced nephrotoxicity. In conclusion, SeMet diminishes AFB1-induced immunotoxicity and OTA-induced nephrotoxicity by improving selenoprotein expression in PK15 cells.
