A method to reduce glutathione peroxidase levels in primary endothelial cell cultures

The purpose of this study was to develop culture conditions that would reduce glutathione peroxidase activity in bovine mammary endothelial cells. Conditions of reduce glutathione peroxidase activity were produced in vitro by culturing cells in selenium-deficient media. Low selenium levels were achieved by reducing serum concentrations; however, levels of essential growth factors also were reduced by this method. Therefore, cell proliferation was promoted by supplementation with combinations of defined serum components including insulin, transferrin, linoleic acid, bovine brain extract, and human epidermal growth factor. Out of seven different formulas tested, F12K medium containing 2% fetal bovine serum, insulin, transferrin, and linoleic acid was found to be conducive for cell proliferation. Upon confluence, endothelial cells cultured under these conditions consistently displayed short passage rates, consistent cell numbers, and classic cobblestone morphology when grown in the presence or absence of supplemental selenium. Additionally, these cells retained typical endothelial cell characteristics such as uptake of 1,1-dioctadecyl-3,3,3,3-tetramethylindo-carb ocyanine perchlorate acetylated low-density lipoprotein and the expression of cell adhesion molecules and von Willebrand Factor.     

硒对IL—1和IL—2的产生及其反应性的影响

本文报告硒对白细胞介素1(IL-1)和白细胞介素2(IL-2)的产生及其反应性的影响。实验结果显示:T淋巴细胞经低浓度亚硒酸钠预处理后,丝裂原诱导的IL-2活性水平显著升高,表明硒可促进IL-2的产生;在亚硒酸钠存在的条件下,T淋巴母细胞对IL-2的应答增强;硒可明显促进巨噬细胞分泌IL-1,并可促进胸腺细胞对IL-1的应答。提示硒可能通过促进IL-1的分泌和应答而间接促进IL-2的产生和应答,进而促进T细胞及其他免疫细胞的增殖和活性,以增强机体免疫功能。     

Effects of cadmium treatment on selenium-dependent and selenium independent glutathione peroxidase activities and lipid peroxidation in the kidney and liver of rats maintained on various levels of dietary selenium

Rats fed a basal, low-selenium diet, or this diet supplemented with 0.1 ppm and 1.0 ppm selenium and treated with cadmium, showed significant reductions in the activity of the selenoenzyme glutathione peroxidase in kidney and liver. Cadmium treatment resulted in a significant increase in the activity of selenium-independent glutathione peroxidase activity in the liver of selenium-supplemented rats. Selenium-independent glutathion peroxidase activity was significantly reduced in the kidney of rats fed the basal low-selenium diet. There was no significant increase in lipid peroxidation in any of the groups studied. Cadmium concentrations in the kidney and liver of these animals ranged from about 250 to 700 g Cd/g tissue, dry weight.Supported by NIEHS Center Grant ES-00159 and a Grant from the Selenium-Tellurium Development Association     

硒补充剂对妊娠期糖尿病患者血糖和血脂代谢及妊娠结局的影响分析

目的探讨硒补充剂对妊娠期糖尿病患者血糖、血脂代谢和妊娠结局的影响。方法将2018年7月-2019年6月盘锦市中心医院收治的45例妊娠期糖尿病患者随机分为对照组21例和硒酵母组24例。两组患者均给予健康教育、饮食指导、运动指导等常规治疗,硒酵母组在常规治疗基础上给予硒酵母片治疗。比较两组治疗前后空腹血糖、胰岛素抵抗指数、总胆固醇、甘油三酯、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇水平及妊娠结局。结果治疗后两组空腹血糖和胰岛素抵抗指数均较治疗前下降,且硒酵母组两项指标均低于对照组,差异均具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。治疗后两组孕妇总胆固醇、甘油三酯、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇水平较治疗前下降,且硒酵母组三项指标水平低于对照组,差异均具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。治疗后硒酵母组高密度脂蛋白胆固醇水平高于治疗前,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。对照组治疗前后以及两组治疗后高密度脂蛋白胆固醇水平差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05)。硒酵母组新生儿高胆红素血症发生率和新生儿住院率均低于对照组,差异均具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。两组其他不良妊娠结局差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论硒补充剂能够进一步改善妊娠期糖尿病患者的血糖和血脂代谢,同时,也能降低新生儿高胆红素血症发生率和住院率,值得推广使用。     

Effect of the peroxisome proliferator perfluorodecanoic acid on growth and lipid metabolism in Sprague Dawley rats fed three dietary levels of selenium

The possible interrelationships between the effects of dietary selenium and perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA) on growth and lipid metabolism were studied in the male Sprague Dawley rat. Rats were divided into groups and placed on diets containing three levels of selenium (0.04, 0.2, and 1.0 ppm as sodium selenite). Two weeks later, half the rats in each group received a single 35 mg/kg IP injection of PFDA in corn oil, while their pair-fed companion received only vehicle. Rats injected with PFDA stopped gaining weight, and weighed less than pair-fed controls, despite equal food intakes. Two weeks following PFDA administration the rats were killed and plasma cholesterol and triglycerides, and liver peroxisomal enzyme activities were quantified. In contrast to other peroxisome proliferators, PFDA increased plasma triglycerides while decreasing plasma cholesterol. The rate of peroxisomal fatty acid -oxidation was decreased, even though the activity of fatty acyl-CoA oxidase, the first enzyme in the peroxisomal fatty acid -oxidation pathway, was increased. Dietary selenium, other than increasing the liver to body weight ratio, did not alter growth or lipid metabolism. This study demonstrates, for the first time, the existence of a non-hypotriglyceridemic peroxisome proliferator-PFDA.
