Expression, characterization, and tissue distribution of a new cellular selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase, GSHPx-GI.
We have characterized a new selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase, GSHPx-GI, by expressing a GSHPx-GI cDNA isolated from human hepatoma HepG2 cells in human mammary carcinoma MCF-7 cells, which have virtually undetectable expression of either the classical cellular enzyme, GSHPx-1, or GSHPx-GI at the protein level. One of the G418-resistant clones, neo-D1, expresses the transfected GSHPx-GI...
متن کاملSelenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase protein and activity: immunological investigations on cellular and plasma enzymes.
Selenium-deficient humans and animals are known to be deficient in glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) activity in their cells and plasma. To determine the relationship between enzyme activity and protein content, the enzyme was purified from human erythrocytes, and polyclonal antibodies were made against the purified protein in rabbits. These antibodies were found to be monospecific, noninhibitory,...
متن کاملEffects of dietary selenium supplementation on tissue selenium distribution and glutathione peroxidase activity in Chinese Ring necked Pheasants.
The objective of this study was to determine the concentration of total selenium (Se) and the proportions of total Se comprised as selenomethionine (SeMet) and selenocysteine (SeCys) in the postmortem tissues of female pheasants (Phasianus Colchicus Torquator) offered diets that contained graded additions of selenised-enriched yeast (SY) or a single comparative dose of sodium selenite (SS). Thi...
متن کاملEffect of dietary organic selenium on egg and tissue selenium and glutathione peroxidase in broiler breeders
An experiment was conducted to compare the effect of selenium sources on performance, Se incorporation into certain poultry tissues (blood, liver and breast muscle) and eggs, hatchability, glutathione peroxidase activities in tissues and eggs in broiler breeder. Broiler breeder hens were allocated to six diet treatments factorially arranged with three selenium sources (Sodium selenite, Selenium...
متن کاملExpression of selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase in human breast tumor cell lines.
In estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer cell lines, very low expression of glutathione peroxidase-1 (GPX-1) activity and hgpx1 mRNA has been observed. Such cell lines have been used as models in studies of resistance to redox cycling anticancer drugs. In particular, large increases in GPX-1 activity levels by expression of transfected GPX-1 cDNA have been shown to confer some resistanc...
