Sex-specific and inter-individual differences in biomarkers of selenium status identified by a calibrated ELISA for selenoprotein P [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Selenoprotein P (SELENOP) is a liver-derived transporter of selenium (Se) in blood, and a meaningful biomarker of Se status. Se is an essential trace element for the biosynthesis of enzymatically-active selenoproteins, protecting the organism from ...

ER proteostasis meets mitochondrial function: contact sites as hubs of communication and therapeutic targets

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Proteostasis ensures proper protein folding, modification, and degradation, while its impairment triggers ER stress. Chronic ER stress and maladaptive UPR via the CHOP–ERO1 axis remodel ERMCs, altering calcium signaling and mitochondrial metabolism.

Antagonistic Interaction of Selenium and Cadmium in Human Hepatic Cells Through Selenoproteins

open access: yesFrontiers in Chemistry, 2022
Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic heavy metal for humans and animals, which is associated with acute hepatotoxicity. Selenium (Se) confers protection against Cd-induced toxicity in cells, diminishing the levels of ROS and increasing the activity of ...

Regulation of Redox Signaling by Selenoproteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The unique chemistry of oxygen has been both a resource and threat for life on Earth for at least the last 2.4 billion years. Reduction of oxygen to water allows extraction of more metabolic energy from organic fuels than is possible through anaerobic ...

Harnessing the Therapeutic Potential of Cell Secretomes and Extracellular Vesicles for Craniofacial Regenerative Applications

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The scoping review summarizes the current preclinical and clinical evidence for the use of “cell‐free” therapies in craniofacial (periodontal, bone and soft‐tissue) regeneration. It also aims to highlight key challenges and strategies towards the clinical translation of these therapies.

An atlas of plant selenium metabolism

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Selenium (Se) is not only a rare and toxic element but also an essential micronutrient for humans and animals that is often in short supply. Terrestrial plants do not require Se, but it can have growth‐promoting or negative effects, depending on the exposure level.

Selenoprotein P-neutralizing antibodies improve insulin secretion and glucose sensitivity in type 2 diabetes mouse models

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Selenoprotein P is secreted by the liver and when present in excess it promotes development of type 2 diabetes. Here the authors develop neutralizing antibodies to target human and mouse selenoprotein P, and show that they improve insulin secretion and ...

キイロショウジョウバエ由来のチオレドキシン還元酵素のC未端テトラペプチド配列は、ヒト肺由来のチオレドキシン還元酵素では酸化還元活性を示さない [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The isozymes of mammalian thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) contain the penultimate selenocysteineresidue (SeCys) in the redox-active C-terminal tetrapeptide, -Gly-Cys-SeCys-Gly (end). Amutant form of the mammalian enzyme TrxR-X498C in which SeCys is replaced

OsPT4 Facilitates Selenomethionine Transport and Biosynthesis to Enhance Seed Accumulation in Rice: Molecular Mechanisms and Biotechnological Potential

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 1992-2008, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Selenium (Se) is a vital micronutrient for humans, with important functions for health and anti‐cancer properties. Organic Se shows higher antioxidant activity and much lower toxicity compared to inorganic Se, making it safer for use. Selenomethionine (SeMet) is one of the primary forms of organic Se.

The genomes of two key bumblebee species with primitive eusocial organization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background: The shift from solitary to social behavior is one of the major evolutionary transitions. Primitively eusocial bumblebees are uniquely placed to illuminate the evolution of highly eusocial insect societies.
