Transcriptional responses of the zebrafish (Danio rerio) brain to acute sodium selenite supplementation.

ABSTRACT: The possible benefits of selenium (Se) supplementation are currently under investigation for prevention of certain cancers and treatment of neurological disorders. Little is known concerning the response of the brain to increased dietary Se under conditions of Se sufficiency, despite the majority of Se supplementation trials occurring in healthy subjects considered Se sufficient. We evaluated the transcriptional response of the zebrafish (Danio rerio) brain to supplementation with nutritionally relevant levels of dietary Se (sodium selenite) during conditions of assumed Se sufficiency. We used a microarray approach to analyze the global gene expression response of the brain to dietary Se supplementation for 14 days. The experiment used Affymetrix microarrays to compare whole brain RNA from 8 adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) fed a diet with control selenium levels (1.4ppmSe) and 8 fed a diet supplemented with sodium selenite (5.6ppmSe) for 14 days, and with an equal sex ratio within each diet.

Hepatic transcriptome profiles differ among maturing beef heifers supplemented with different forms of dietary selenium

Project description:Little is known regarding the relationship between Selenium (Se) concentrations in the liver and liver gene expression. Because most cow-calf operations in Se-poor soils provide enough Se in mineral mixes to avoid deficiency, the aim of this study was to determine the effects of 4 Se form supplementation strategies (none or inorganic, organic, or 1:1 inorganic:organic mix) on liver gene expression profiles using a Se-adequate model. Microarray analysis was conducted using the custom WT Btau 4.0 Array (version 1; GeneChip, Affymetrix, Inc., Santa Clara, CA, USA) to determine if dietary Se supplementation form differentially affects the hepatic gene expression profiles of maturing beef heifers. Sodium selenite was used as the source of inorganic Se and Se-enriched yeast was the source of organic selenium. Thirty-six Angus heifers (BW 400 Â± 9.0 kg) were ranked on the Se concentration of their biopsied (day -14) liver sample and randomly assigned to one of four dietary Se treatments: Control (Ctrl) group received no exogenous dietary Se supplementation; inorganic (ISe) treatment group received daily dietary Se supplementation at 3 mg/ animal of the ISe form; organic (OSe) treatment group received daily dietary Se supplementation of 3 mg/ animal of OSe form; and the mix (1:1 ISe:OSe) received daily dietary Se supplementation of 3 mg/ animal of 50:50 mix of ISe and OSe forms. RNA was extracted from biopsied liver samples taken 168 days after initiation of Se supplementation and microarray analyses were conducted.

Effect of Dietary Supplementation of Selenium (Organic vs. Inorganic) on Liver Gene Expression Profile in Beef Heifers

Project description:Selenium (Se) is an essential nutrient for beef cattle health and commercial production. The molecular mechanisms responsible for physiological responses of the animal to dietary Se supplementation, however, have not been evaluated. Furthermore, the potential effect of two chemical forms (organic vs. inorganic) of Se on gene expression by Se-sufficient cattle has not been evaluated. Microarray analysis using the GeneChip Bovine Genome Array (Affymetrix, Inc., Santa Clara, CA) was conducted to determine if dietary Se supplementation in organic vs. inorganic form (OSe vs. ISe) differentially affects the liver gene expression profile in growing beef heifers. Sodium selenite (Prince Se Concentrate; Prince Agri Products, Inc., Quincy, IL) was used as the source of ISe form. Se-enriched yeast (Sel-Plex; Alltech, Inc., Nicholasville, KY) was used as the source of OSe form. Thirty Angus heifers (BW 393 Â± 9 kg) were randomly assigned to 3 dietary treatments (n = 10): Control (Ctrl) group received no dietary Se supplementation; ISe treatment group daily received dietary supplementation of Se at 3 mg/animal from ISe source; OSe treatment group daily received dietary supplementation of Se at 3 mg/animal from OSe source. Six animals were randomly selected from each of 3 treatment groups for RNA extraction and microarray analysis.

Sex- and population-specific hormetic responses to increasing dietary selenium in zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Project description:We tested the hypothesis that the behavioral response to selenium (Se) follows a hormetic dose response pattern, manifested through the functions of selenoproteins within the brain. We measured anxiety-related behaviors in zebrafish (Danio rerio) at deficient, control and supplemented levels of dietary Se, and measured the transcriptional response of selenoprotein genes important for neuroprotection. We also used a microarray approach to assess the transcriptomic response of the midbrain to Se. The behavioral response to Se was characterized by hormesis, and the direction, magnitude, and shape of the hormetic responses were dependent on both sex and zebrafish population. Transcription of selenoproteins within the midbrain also responded to Se in a similar hormetic dose-dependent manner, with sex and population influencing the trajectory of the responses. The hormetic behavioral response to Se may therefore be manifested through selenoproteins in the brain, but the influence is not direct. We performed a microarray analysis comparing the midbrain-specific transcriptome between male zebrafish from two populations (Pargana: P and Transgenic Mosaic 1: T) fed either a control, Se deficient, or Se supplemented diet (17 total samples: 9 fish per population, 3 fish per diet: missing 1 P control sample).

Selenium toxicity but not deficient or super-nutritional selenium status vastly alters the transcriptome in rodents

Project description:Protein and mRNA levels for several selenoproteins, such as glutathione peroxidase-1 (Gpx1), are down-regulated dramatically by selenium (Se) deficiency. Selenoprotein levels in rats increase sigmoidally with increasing dietary Se and reach defined plateaus at the Se requirement, making them sensitive biomarkers for Se deficiency, but not high for Se status. Biomarkers for high Se status are needed as super-nutritional Se intakes are associated with beneficial and adverse health outcomes, but conventional biomarkers are not especially useful above the Se requirement. To characterize Se regulation of the transcriptome, we conducted 3 microarray experiments in weanling mice and rats fed Se-deficient diets supplemented with levels of Se up to 5 µg Se/g diet. Rats or mice were fed Se-deficient diets supplemented with sodium selenite up to 5 ug Se/g diet for 28 or 35 days. Affymetrix Rat 230 2.0 and Mouse 430 2.0 Genome Arrays were used to analyze gene expression in liver in all studies plus kidney in the mouse study.

Gene expression in broiler livers upon supplementation with selenized yeast

Project description:Selenium (Se) is an essential cofactor of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase beside other functions. The evaluation of optimal selenium supplementation in chicken feed and the subsequent effects on animal health and performance requires comprehensive knowledge of the overall metabolic effects of selenium. Therefore the gene expression was measured in the control group with a standard diet and in the group with a Se supplemented diet (0.5mg Se/kg diet) to determine significantly altered gene expression. The selenium was supplemented in the form of selenized yeast (Se-yeast), which mainly consists of organic Se in the form of L-selenomethionine and L-selenocysteine. The control group received a diet, which contained 70μg of Se / kg diet and the Se-yeast group 620μg of Se / kg diet (analyzed). The one-day old broiler chicks were separated into two groups and received the control or the Se-supplemented diet ad libitum for 35 days. After slaughter the gene expression was determined in the liver of four control and five samples from the Se-yeast group. One sample from the control group did not correspond to the quality requirements and was excluded from the analysis.

Global gene expression profiling following a dietary selenium supplementation in sheep (Ovis aries).

Project description:In the present study, we studied the effect of dietary selenium (Se) supplementation on the transcriptomic profile of sheep. The main objective was to evaluate the effect of Se-supplementation on the overall transcriptome of sheep, the altered pathways, and the biological processes related to it . A custom oligo microarray platform (AMADID: 070119) was designed, then used to profile gene expression from 20 samples from 10 sheep at two time points (T0; before Se-supplementation, and T40; at the end of a 40-d Se-supplementation period). Isolated and purified total RNAs were individually hybridized to the custom (4x44k) DNA microarray. The comparison of control and treated animal transcriptomes revealed a large set of differentially expressed genes. After functional analysis and qPCR validation, the result showed several pathways and biological processes that have been altered following Se-supplementation to the diet.
