The single and combined effects of short-term selenium (Se) deficiency and T-2 toxin-induced kidney pathological injury through the MMPs/TIMPs system were investigated. Forty-eight rats were randomly divided into control, 10 ng/g T-2 toxin, 100 ng/g T-2 toxin, Se-deficient, 10 ng/g T-2 toxin and Se deficiency combined, and 100 ng/g T-2 toxin and Se deficiency combined groups for a 4-week intervention. The kidney Se concentration was measured to evaluate the construction of animal models of Se deficiency. Kidney tissues were analyzed by hematoxylin-eosin staining, Masson staining, and transmission electron microscope to observe the pathological changes, the severity of kidney fibrosis, and ultrastructural changes, respectively. Meanwhile, quantitative polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemical staining were used to analyze the gene and protein expression levels of matrix metallopeptidase 2/3 (MMP2/3) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP1). The results showed that short-term Se deficiency and T-2 toxin exposure can cause kidney injury through tubular degeneration and even lead to kidney fibrosis. And the combination of T-2 toxin and Se deficiency had a synergistic effect on the kidney. A dose-response effect of the T-2 toxin was also observed. At the gene and protein levels, the expression of MMP2/3 in the intervention group increased, while the expression of TIMP1 decreased compared with the control group. In conclusion, short-term Se deficiency and T-2 toxin exposure might lead to injury and even the development of fibrosis in the kidneys, and combined intervention can increase the severity with a dose-dependent trend. MMP2/3 and TIMP1 likely play a significant role in the development of kidney fibrosis.
