Alteration in Prooxidant-antioxidant Balance Associated with Selenium Concentration in Patients with Congenital Hypothyroidism.

ABSTRACT: Background:There is a paucity of studies regarding oxidative balance and selenium (Se) status in congenital hypothyroidism. Recently, more attention has been given to the use of Se supplementation as a new treatment for thyroid disorders. Oxidative stress increases in different thyroid disorders and causes many pathological outcomes. The present study aimed to determine the serum prooxidant-anti - oxidant balance (PAB), Se, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (FT4) concentration in congenital hypothyroidism (CH) patients and the association of their probable change with hematological indices. Methods:Blood samples were collected from 60 healthy and 39 CH subjects. Serum PAB values were measured and Se, TSH, FT4 and hematological indices were determined. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 16 and p value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:Serum TSH concentration was significantly higher in CH patients group compared to the controls (p value < 0.05); however, FT4 was in the same concentration in patients and controls. Platelet (Plt) and lymphocytes (Lym) counts markedly decreased in all patients and showed a significant direct correlation with serum TSH levels (rs = 0.307, p value = 0.004 and rs = 0.413, p value < 0.0001). Serum PAB and Se had no significant correlation with he - mato logical indices in the studied subjects. Conclusions:Although there was no correlation between PAB and also Se with hematologic and biochemical markers in CH patients, changes in these two factors might be considered as a potential risk factor due to the other known effects of high PAB values and low Se concentrations.

Project description:This study investigated the effects of dietary selenium-enriched yeast (Se yeast) supplementation on the laying performance, egg quality, plasma antioxidant balance, and egg selenium (Se) content in laying Longyan ducks. A total of 480 32-week-old ducks were randomly divided into four dietary treatments, each consisting of six replicates of 20 ducks. The dietary treatments were a control basal diet and basal diets with supplementation of 0.05, 0.15, and 0.25 mg Se/kg via Se yeast. The analyzed Se contents of the four diets were 0.15, 0.21, 0.36, and 0.43 mg Se/kg, respectively. Dietary Se yeast supplementation had no apparent effects on laying performance and egg quality (p > 0.05), but it improved the antioxidant balance of ducks, as inferred by greater glutathione peroxidase and catalase activities, and decreased the malondialdehyde content in plasma of ducks (p < 0.05). It was suggested that the Se content in the basal diet containing 0.15 mg/kg of Se requirement is adequate for productive performance, but not for the antioxidant balance of laying ducks. Besides that, the Se contents in the yolk, albumen, and whole egg increased linearly as the Se supplementation levels increased. With more feeding days, the Se contents in the yolk and whole egg from non-Se-yeast-supplemented ducks increased linearly (p < 0.05), while those from Se-yeast-supplemented ducks showed a quadratic relationship (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the Se content of the basal diet at 0.15 mg/kg was adequate for laying performance and egg quality traits in laying ducks. Dietary Se yeast supplementation is beneficial to improve the antioxidant balance of laying ducks and increase the Se deposition in eggs for producing Se-enriched eggs. Based on the quadratic model or the quadratic broken-line model analyses, supplemental 0.19 mg Se/kg via Se yeast, with a total equivalent of 0.34 mg Se/kg in the diet, could provide the optimum antioxidant balance in laying ducks. Dietary supplementation of 0.25 mg Se/kg via Se yeast, with a total equivalent of 0.40 mg Se/kg in the diet, could lead to achieving the desired Se content in the whole egg.

Project description:Congenital Hypothyroidism occurs in 1:3500 live births and is therefore the most common congenital endocrine disorder. A spectrum of defective thyroid morphology, termed thyroid dysgenesis, represents 80% of permanent CH cases. Although several candidate genes have been implicated in thyroid development, comprehensive screens failed to detect mutation carriers in a significant number of patients with non-syndromic TD. Due to the sporadic occurrence of TD, de novo chromosomal rearrangements are conceivably representing one of the molecular mechanisms participating in its aetiology. Recently, the use of array CGH technique has provided the ability to map these variations genomewide with high resolution. We performed an array CGH screen of 74 TD patients to determine the role of copy number variants (CNV) in the aetiology of the disease. We identified novel CNVs in 8.75% of all patients that have not been described as frequent variations in the healthy population. Affected patients presented with athyreosis or thyroid hypoplasia and in one case with associated heart malformation. We selected 74 patients with thyroid dysgenesis for array CGH analysis. All individuals were detected in neonatal screening programs and abnormal thyroid gland morphology was subsequently confirmed by ultrasound examination. Intragenic mutations in NKX2-1, FOXE1 and NKX2.5 had been previously excluded in phenotype characteristic individuals. PAX8 mutations were excluded in all patients with hypoplastic thyroids by direct sequencing of the coding exons 1-11. The study was approved by the local ethics committee. Genomic DNA of all subjects as well as of healthy controls was isolated from peripheral blood leucocytes using the Qiagen DNA blood mini kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). Array-comparative genomic hybridization was carried as described previously {Erdogan, 2006 #142; Pinkel, 1998 #151}. In brief, sonicated patient- and control DNA was labeled by random priming with Cy3-dUTP and Cy5-dUTP (Bioprime Array CGH, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA), respectively, and hybridized onto a submegabase resolution tiling path BAC array, consisting of ~ 36 000 BAC clones obtained from several sources as described elsewhere {Fiegler, 2003 #198; Ishkanian, 2004 #196; Krzywinski, 2004 #197} . Step-by-step protocols are also provided at http://www.molgen.mpg.de/~abt_rop/molecular_cytogenetics/. Arrays were scanned with the G2565BA Agilent Microarray Scanner System (resolution 10 µm; PMT 100 % for Cy3/Cy5, respectively) (Agilent Inc. Santa Clara, CA) and analyzed using GENEPIX Pro 5.0 Software. Analysis and visualization of array CGH data were performed with our software package CGHPRO {Chen, 2005 #143}. For the assessment of copy number gains and losses, we used conservative log2 ratio thresholds of 0.3 and -0.3, respectively. Deviant signal intensity ratios involving three or more consecutive BAC clones were considered to be potentially pathogenic, unless they were covered by more than one known DNA copy number variant, as listed in the Database of Genomic Variants (http://projects.tcag.ca/variation/) or covered by > 50% of their length at least once in our reference set of 600 samples. Potentially pathogenic CNVs were verified by array CGH on a 244k oligonucleotide array from Agilent following the manufacturer’s instructions (Protocol-No. G4410-90010). Confirmed CNVs were tested for inheritance by co-hybridization of parental DNA on BAC arrays as described above. All chromosome coordinates are referring to the UCSC Genome Browser Assembly May 2004 (hg17/ NCBI Build 35; available at: http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgGateway?hgsid=99195739&clade=vertebrate&org=Human&db=hg17). Cytoscape {Shannon, 2003 #201} was used for the elucidation of potential interactions between genes within the intervals of interest.
