Selenium prevent cadmium-induced hepatotoxicity through modulation of endoplasmic reticulum-resident selenoproteins and attenuation of endoplasmic reticulum stress

Cadmium (Cd), a heavy metal contaminant, exists in humans and animals throughout life and closely associate with severe hepatotoxicity. Selenium (Se) has been recognized as an effective chemo-protectant of Cd, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The objective of the present study is to illustrate the antagonistic effect of Se against Cd-induced hepatotoxicity. Primary hepatocytes were cultured in the presence of 5 μM Cd, 1 μM Se and the mixture of 1 μM Se and 5 μM Cd for 24 h. Cell viability and morphology, antioxidant status, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response and selenotranscriptome were assessed. It was observed that Se treatment dramatically alleviated Cd-induced hepatocytes death and morphological change. Simultaneously, Se mitigated Cd-induced oxidative stress by reducing ROS production, increasing reduced glutathione (GSH) level and increasing selenoenzyme (glutathione peroxidase, GPX) activity. Cd induced hepatotoxicity via disordering ER-resident selenoproteins transcription and triggering ER stress and unfolded protein response. Supplementary Se evidently relieved hepatocytes injury via modulating ER-resident selenoproteins transcription to inhibit ER stress. Collectively, our findings showed a potential protection of Se against Cd-induced hepatotoxicity via suppressing ER stress response.
