The trace element selenium (Se) plays a key role in development and various physiological processes, mainly through its transformation into selenoproteins. To investigate the developmental patterns of Se content and expression of selenoproteins, the liver and longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle of Duroc pigs were collected at 1, 21, 80, and 185 days of age (7 pigs each age) for the determination of Se content, mRNA expression of selenoproteins, and concentrations of glutathione peroxidase (GPX), thioredoxin reductase (TrxR or TXNRD), and selenoprotein P (SELP). The results showed that age significantly affected the expression of GPX1, GPX2, GPX3, TXNRD1, TXNRD2, TXNRD3, iodothyronine deiodinases 2 (DIO2), DIO3, SELF, SELH, SELM, SELP, SELS, SELW, and selenophosphate synthetase2 (SPS2) in the liver, as well as GPX3, GPX4, TXNRD1, TXNRD2, DIO2, DIO3, SELF, SELN, SELP, SELR, SELS, and SELW in the LD muscle of Duroc pigs. The concentrations of GPX, TrxR, and SELP showed an increasing trend with age, and they were positively correlated with Se content at 1, 21, and 185 days of age and negatively correlated at 80 days of age, both in the liver and LD muscle. The Se content decreased at the age of 80 days, especially in the LD muscle. In summary, our study revealed developmental changes in Se content and expression of selenoproteins in the liver and LD muscle of Duroc pigs at different growth stages, which provided a theoretical basis for further study of Se nutrition and functions of selenoproteins.
