Full textAbstract:
Selenoproteins, in which the selenium atom is present in the rare amino acid selenocysteine, are vital components of cell homeostasis, antioxidant defense, and cell signaling in mammals. The expression of the selenoproteome, composed of 25 selenoprotein genes, is strongly controlled by the selenium status of the body, which is a corollary of selenium availability in the food diet. Here, we present an alternative strategy for the use of the radioactive 75Se isotope in order to characterize the selenoproteome regulation based on (i) the selective labeling of the cellular selenocompounds with non-radioactive selenium isotopes (76Se, 77Se) and (ii) the detection of the isotopic enrichment of the selenoproteins using size-exclusion chromatography followed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry detection. The reliability of our strategy is further confirmed by western blots with distinct selenoprotein-specific antibodies. Using our strategy, we characterized the hierarchy of the selenoproteome regulation in dose–response and kinetic experiments.

Full textAbstract:
The infection of CD4 T-lymphocytes with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the etiological agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), disrupts cellular homeostasis, increases oxidative stress and interferes with micronutrient metabolism. Viral replication simultaneously increases the demand for micronutrients and causes their loss, as for selenium (Se). In HIV-infected patients, selenium deficiency was associated with a lower CD4 T-cell count and a shorter life expectancy. Selenium has an important role in antioxidant defense, redox signaling and redox homeostasis, and most of these biological activities are mediated by its incorporation in an essential family of redox enzymes, namely the selenoproteins. Here, we have investigated how selenium and selenoproteins interplay with HIV infection in different cellular models of human CD4 T lymphocytes derived from established cell lines (Jurkat and SupT1) and isolated primary CD4 T cells. First, we characterized the expression of the selenoproteome in various human T-cell models and found it tightly regulated by the selenium level of the culture media, which was in agreement with reports from non-immune cells. Then, we showed that selenium had no significant effect on HIV-1 protein production nor on infectivity, but slightly reduced the percentage of infected cells in a Jurkat cell line and isolated primary CD4 T cells. Finally, in response to HIV-1 infection, the selenoproteome was slightly altered.

Full textAbstract:
The human selenoproteome is comprised of ~25 genes, which incorporate selenium, in the form of selenocysteine, into their structure. Since it is well known that selenium is important to maternal health and foetal development during pregnancy, this study aimed at defining the impact of selenium deficiency on maternal, placental, foetal and offspring selenoprotein gene expression. Female C57BL/6 mice were randomly allocated to control (>190 μg/kg) or low selenium (<50 μg/kg) diets four weeks prior to mating and throughout gestation. At embryonic day (E)18.5, pregnant mice were sacrificed followed by collection of maternal and foetal tissues. A subset of mice littered down, and offspring were monitored from postnatal day (PN) 8, weaned at PN24 and sacrificed at PN180, followed by tissue collection. Following RNA extraction, the expression of 14 selenoproteins was assessed with qPCR in liver, kidneys, muscle and placenta. Selenium deficiency downregulated expression (Ptrt < 0.05) of many selenoproteins in maternal tissues and the placenta. However, foetal selenoprotein expression was upregulated (Ptrt < 0.05) in all tissues, especially the kidneys. This was not reflected at PN180; however, a sexually dimorphic relationship in selenoprotein expression was observed in offspring. This study demonstrates the selenoproteome is sensitive to dietary selenium levels, which may be exacerbated by pregnancy. We concluded that transcriptional regulation of selenoproteins is complex and multifaceted, with expression exhibiting tissue-, age- and sex-specificities.

Selenium is a trace element, nutritionally classified as an essential micronutrient, involved in maintaining the correct function of several enzymes incorporating the selenocysteine residue, namely the selenoproteins. The human selenoproteome including 25 proteins is extensively described here. The most relevant selenoproteins, including glutathione peroxidases, thioredoxin reductases and iodothyronine deiodinases are required for the proper cellular redox homeostasis as well as for the correct thyroid function, thus preventing oxidative stress and related diseases. This review summarizes the main advances on oxidative stress with a focus on selenium metabolism and transport. Moreover, thyroid-related disorders are discussed, considering that the thyroid gland contains the highest selenium amount per gram of tissue, also for future possible therapeutic implication.

Full textAbstract:
Selenium is an essential trace element required for human health, and selenium deficiency has been associated with many diseases. The daily recommended intake of selenium is 60 µg/day for adults, which increases to 65 µg/day for women when pregnant. Selenium is incorporated into the 21st amino acid, selenocysteine (sec), a critical component of selenoproteins that plays an important role in a variety of biological responses such as antioxidant defence, reactive oxygen species (ROS) signalling, formation of thyroid hormones, DNA synthesis and the unfolded protein response in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Although 25 selenoproteins have been identified, the role of many of these is yet to be fully characterised. This review summarises the current evidence demonstrating that selenium is essential for a healthy pregnancy and that poor selenium status leads to gestational disorders. In particular, we focus on the importance of the placental selenoproteome, and the role these proteins may play in a healthy start to life.

Full textAbstract:
Selenium is an essential micronutrient that plays a crucial role in development and a wide variety of physiological processes including effect immune responses. The immune system relies on adequate dietary selenium intake and this nutrient exerts its biological effects mostly through its incorporation into selenoproteins. The selenoproteome contains 25 members in humans that exhibit a wide variety of functions. The development of high-throughput omic approaches and novel bioinformatics tools has led to new insights regarding the effects of selenium and selenoproteins in human immuno-biology. Equally important are the innovative experimental systems that have emerged to interrogate molecular mechanisms underlying those effects. This review presents a summary of the current understanding of the role of selenium and selenoproteins in regulating immune cell functions and how dysregulation of these processes may lead to inflammation or immune-related diseases.

Full textAbstract:
Selenium is an essential micronutrient with important functions in human health and relevance to several pathophysiological conditions. The biological effects of selenium are largely mediated by selenium-containing proteins (selenoproteins) that are present in all three domains of life. Although selenoproteins represent diverse molecular pathways and biological functions, all these proteins contain at least one selenocysteine (Sec), a selenium-containing amino acid, and most serve oxidoreductase functions. Sec is cotranslationally inserted into nascent polypeptide chains in response to the UGA codon, whose normal function is to terminate translation. To decode UGA as Sec, organisms evolved the Sec insertion machinery that allows incorporation of this amino acid at specific UGA codons in a process requiring a cis-acting Sec insertion sequence (SECIS) element. Although the basic mechanisms of Sec synthesis and insertion into proteins in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have been studied in great detail, the identity and functions of many selenoproteins remain largely unknown. In the last decade, there has been significant progress in characterizing selenoproteins and selenoproteomes and understanding their physiological functions. We discuss current knowledge about how these unique proteins perform their functions at the molecular level and highlight new insights into the roles that selenoproteins play in human health.

Abstract Introduction. Selenium (Se) is a trace element found mainly in meat, seafood, nuts and grains. Se is found in selenoproteins such as selenocystein or selenomethionin. A well balanced diet provides enough Se. Many regulatory and metabolic enzymes contain Se as their component, which is why Se supplementation is used in the treatment as well as prevention of multiple disorders. Se may, however, be toxic if overdosed. Aim. The aim of this review is to summarize the data about functions of Se in human body and to discuss its use in treatment and prevention of diseases. Materials and methods. The search was conducted using the PubMed and Google Scholar databases in March and April 2020. The key words used were: ‘selenium’, ‘cardiovascular disease’, ‘selenium supplementation’, ‘Keshan disease’, ‘source of selenium’. A total of 68 articles were analysed. Results. The first cases of chronic Se deficiency cases were documented 85 years ago in China. The patients with cardiomyopathy, extensive fibrosis and degenerative changes in the heart were diagnosed with Keshan disease. Human selenoproteonome consists of at least 25 selenoproteins. Se plays a role in immunity and metabolism via its role in functioning of numerous enzymes: glutathione peroxidase, thioredoxine and methionine sulfoxide reductase, methionine-sulfoxide reductase B1. Se plays a role in glucose homeostasis, Alzheimer’s disease, thyroid disorders, infectious, inflammatory diseases, vascular diseases and fertility. Conclusion. Se deficiency increases the risk of Keshan disease, but there is not enough evidence to recommend its supplementation for prevention of cardiovascular disease. However, Se status is important part of health assessment. Se supplementation should not exceed the dose of 55μg/day.

Selenium is an essential trace mineral of fundamental importance to human health. Its beneficial functions are largely attributed to its presence within a group of proteins named selenoproteins in the form of the amino acid selenocysteine (Sec). Recently, it was revealed that the human selenoproteome consists of 25 selenoproteins, and for many of them their function remains unknown. The most prominent known roles of selenoproteins are to maintain the intracellular redox homeostasis, redox regulation of intracellular signalling and thyroid hormone metabolism. Sec incorporation into selenoproteins employs a unique mechanism that involves decoding of the UGA stop codon. The process requires interplay between distinct, intrinsic features such as the Sec Insertion Sequence (SECIS) element, the tRNASec and multiple protein factors. The work presented in this thesis has focused on characterising the regulation of human SECIS binding protein 2, SBP2, a factor central to this process. Experimental approaches combined with bioinformatics analysis revealed that SBP2 is subjected to alternative splicing. A total of nine alternatively spliced transcripts appear to be expressed in cells, potentially encoding five different protein isoforms. The alternative splicing events are restricted to the 5?-region, which is proposed to be dispensable for Sec incorporation. One of the variants identified, contains a mitochondrial targeting sequence that was capable of targetting SBP2 into the mitochondrial compartment. This isoform also appears to be expressed endogenously within the mitochondria in cells. Previous reports have depicted SBP2 as a ribosomal protein, despite the presence of a putative Nuclear Localisation Signal (NLS). In this study it was found that SBP2 subcellular localisation is not restricted to ribosomes. Intrinsic functional NLS and Nuclear Export Signals (NESs), enable SBP2 to shuttle between the nucleus and the cytoplasm via the CRM1 pathway. In addition, the subcellular localisation of SBP2 appears to play an important role in regulating Sec incorporation into selenoproteins. The subcellular localisation of SBP2 is altered by conditions imposing oxidative stress. Several oxidising agents induce the nuclear accumulation of SBP2, which occurs via oxidation of cysteine residues within a novel redox-sensitive cysteine rich domain (CRD). Cysteine residues were to form disulfide bonds and glutathione-mixed disulfides during oxidising conditions, which are efficiently reversed in vitro by the thioredoxin and glutaredoxin systems, respectively. These modifications negatively regulate selenoprotein synthesis. Cells depleted of SBP2 are more sensitive to oxidative stress than control cells, which correlated with a substantial decrease in selenoprotein synthesis after treatment with oxidising agents. These results provide direct evidence that SBP2 is required for Sec incorporation in vivo and suggest that nuclear sequestration of SBP2 under such conditions may represent a mechanism to regulate the expression of selenoproteins. Collectively, these results suggest that SBP2 is regulated at multiple levels: by alternative splicing, changes in subcellar localisation and redox control.
