Abstract
Selenium is a trace mineral that is essential for health. After being obtained from food and taken up by the liver, selenium performs various physiological functions in the body in the form of selenoproteins, which are best known for their redox activity and anti-inflammatory properties. Selenium stimulates the activation of immune cells and is important for the activation of the immune system. Selenium is also essential for the maintenance of brain function. Selenium supplements can regulate lipid metabolism, cell apoptosis, and autophagy, and have displayed significant alleviating effects in most cardiovascular diseases. However, the effect of increased selenium intake on the risk of cancer remains unclear. Elevated serum selenium levels are associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, and this relationship is complex and nonlinear. Selenium supplementation seems beneficial to some extent; however, existing studies have not fully explained the influence of selenium on various diseases. Further, more intervention trials are needed to verify the beneficial or harmful effects of selenium supplementation in various diseases.

[PMID: 34536204 DOI: 10.1007/s12011-021-02925-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2021] [Accepted: 09/09/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
Selenomethionine (SeMet) is known to alleviate ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, its details of action have not been thoroughly elucidated in mice with intestinal I/R injury. In this study, intestinal I/R injury mice models were established, and ELISAs were performed to determine the levels of redox factors, including glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and malondialdehyde (MDA), in mice intestinal tissues. Furthermore, several apoptosis-related markers, such as cytochrome c (Cyt-c), Bcl-2, and Bax, were detected using qPCR and Western blotting, while caspase-3 was detected using Western blotting alone. The results showed that SeMet alleviated I/R damage by increasing GSH-Px, CAT, and SOD levels and reducing MDA levels. Our data demonstrated that SeMet reduced I/R injury and inhibited the expression of Cyt-c, Bax, and caspase-3. SeMet also increased the expression of Bcl-2 in the intestinal tissues of mice. In addition, the TUNEL assay results showed that SeMet mitigated apoptosis in the villi cells of the intestinal mucosa. The findings also revealed that I/R could lead to increased apoptosis levels and that SeMet alleviated I/R-induced apoptosis by mediating the Bax/cytochrome C/caspase-3 apoptotic signaling pathways in the intestinal I/R injury mice models. Thus, SeMet inhibited apoptosis and resulted in an increase of Bcl-2 levels; downregulated the expression of Bax, Cyt-c, and caspase-3; and alleviated the intestinal ischemia injury in mice. The I/R injury increased the cytosolic Bax, Cyt-c, and caspase-3 levels and significantly decreased Bcl-2 expression levels in the I/R group, compared to the Sham group. However, the levels of all markers were reversed post-SeMet pre-treatment.

Abstract
Denervated skeletal muscular atrophy is primarily characterized by loss of muscle strength and mass and an unideal functional recovery of the muscle after extended denervation. This review emphasizes the interaction between the immune system and the denervated skeletal muscle. Immune cells such as neutrophils, macrophages and T-cells are activated and migrate to denervated muscle, where they release a high concentration of cytokines and chemokines. The migration of these immune cells, the transformation of different functional immune cell subtypes, and the cytokine network in the immune microenvironment may be involved in the regulatory process of muscle atrophy or repair. However, the exact mechanisms of the interaction between these immune cells and immune molecules in skeletal muscles are unclear. In this paper, the immune microenvironment regulation of muscle atrophy induced by peripheral nerve injury is reviewed.

The Role of Dietary Nutrients in Peripheral Nerve Regeneration. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22147417.

Abstract
Peripheral nerves are highly susceptible to injuries induced from everyday activities such as falling or work and sport accidents as well as more severe incidents such as car and motorcycle accidents. Many efforts have been made to improve nerve regeneration, but a satisfactory outcome is still unachieved, highlighting the need for easy to apply supportive strategies for stimulating nerve growth and functional recovery. Recent focus has been made on the effect of the consumed diet and its relation to healthy and well-functioning body systems. Normally, a balanced, healthy daily diet should provide our body with all the needed nutritional elements for maintaining correct function. The health of the central and peripheral nervous system is largely dependent on balanced nutrients supply. While already addressed in many reviews with different focus, we comprehensively review here the possible role of different nutrients in maintaining a healthy peripheral nervous system and their possible role in supporting the process of peripheral nerve regeneration. In fact, many dietary supplements have already demonstrated an important role in peripheral nerve development and regeneration; thus, a tailored dietary plan supplied to a patient following nerve injury could play a non-negotiable role in accelerating and promoting the process of nerve regeneration.

Abstract
Abdominal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) is known to cause both structural and functional damage to sciatic nerve which is related to the oxidative stress. We investigated the protective effects of mitochondria-targeted antioxidant (2-(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl-4-ylamino)-2-oxoethyl) triphenylphosphonium chloride (MitoTEMPO) on ischemia-reperfusion-induced nerve damage by using the conduction velocity distribution (CVD) calculations from in vitro compound nerve action potential (CNAP) recordings from rat sciatic nerve. Adult male Wistar albino rats were divided into three groups. The IR and IR + MT groups had aortic cross-clamping for 1 h followed by 2 h reperfusion, while SHAM group had the same procedure without cross-clamping. IR + MT group received 0.7 mg/kg/day MitoTEMPO injection for 28 days before I/R, while other groups received vehicle alone. Ischemia-reperfusion resulted in a significant decrease (p < .05) in maximum depolarizations (mV), areas (mV.ms), and maximum and minimum upstroke velocities (mV/ms) of CNAPs, while injection of MitoTEMPO showed a complete protective effect on these impairments. The histograms for CVD showed that I/R blocked the contribution of fast-conducting fibers (> 60 m/s). MitoTEMPO prevented that blockage and caused a shift in the CVD. Functional nerve damage caused by I/R can be prevented by MitoTEMPO, which can enter mitochondria, the main source of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Abstract
Hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury in myocardial cells occurs frequently during cardiac surgery and affects the prognosis of patients. The present study aimed to investigate the protective effects of dexmedetomidine (Dex) on H/R injury and its association with the C/EBP-homologous protein (CHOP) signaling pathway. An H/R model was constructed in H9C2 cells to investigate the effects of Dex on H/R injury. Cell viability, apoptosis and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels were determined by MTT, flow cytometry and 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine colorimetric assays, respectively. The expression levels of inflammatory factors were measured by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), and CHOP and glucose-regulated protein-78 (Grp78) expression levels were detected by RT-qPCR and western blotting. CHOP was overexpressed or knocked down to detect the cell viability, apoptosis, LDH level and the expression levels of inflammatory factors and Grp78. The results demonstrated that in the H/R group, cell viability was lower and apoptosis was higher, and that higher levels of LDH and inflammatory factors were present compared with those in the Dex+H/R group. Silencing of CHOP significantly reversed the H/R-reduced cell viability, high apoptotic rate and LDH levels, as well as the elevated expression levels of inflammatory factors and Grp78 caused by H/R injury, whereas the overexpression of CHOP inhibited cell viability and promoted apoptosis, elevated LDH level and expression of inflammatory factors and Grp78 compared with the negative control. Additionally, pretreatment with Dex significantly alleviated the H/R injury; thus, Dex may protect H9C2 cells against H/R induced cell injury, possibly by suppressing the CHOP signaling pathway.

Abstract
Quercetin, an antioxidant derived from plants, can play a beneficial role in the protection of various tissues against ischemia-reperfusion injuries (IRI). The purpose of the present research was to investigate the protective effects of quercetin on gastrocnemius muscle ischemia-reperfusion. A total of 80 adult male Wistar rats (weights: 250-300 g) were divided into ten groups (n = 8 per group). We used silk 6.0 surgical thread to create a knit to occlude the femoral artery and vein for 3 hr. The treated groups, which comprised half of each experimental group, received intraperitoneal injections of 150 mg/kg quercetin after the ischemia. Blood flow was subsequently reestablished in the reperfusion phase. The rats were kept in reperfusion for 3, 7, 14, or 28 days after which they were killed with high doses of anesthetic drugs, and the gastrocnemius muscles were removed and fixed. Tissue processing, hematoxylin and eosin and toluidine blue staining, and immunohistochemistry were used to assess tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) levels. A comparison between treated and untreated ischemic sites showed that on the third day of reperfusion, the severity of edema and NF-κB level decreased significantly; on the 7th day of reperfusion, the severity of edema and the levels of TNF-α and NF-κB decreased significantly; and on the 14th day of reperfusion, all of the parameters showed significant decreases. On the 28th day of reperfusion, there were significantly decreased levels of TNF-α and NF-κB, and decreased mast cell infiltration when compared with the untreated groups. According to the results, administration of quercetin after ischemia could significantly prevent gastrocnemius muscle IRI.

Abstract
Selenium is known to be a neuroprotective agent in respect to a number of neuronal diseases and pain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the neuroprotective effect of the oral administration of selenium nanoparticles in rats with spinal cord injury (SCI). Forty adult female rats were randomly assigned to two equal groups as experimental and control. Under general inhalation anesthesia, in both groups, SCI was created, at the T9-10 level of the column. On the third day after the operation, a supplement of selenium nanoparticle was administered to the experimental group at 0.2 mg/kg per day. The histology of the site of injury, IGF-1 serum concentrations, and changes in the white blood cells were examined in both groups at different pre-surgical and post-surgical times. The results of the current study showed a significant decrease in the total white blood cells, including lymphocyte, neutrophil, and monocyte in the experimental group compared to the control group. Histological evaluation showed that the inflammatory responses reduced significantly in the experimental group compared to the control group. In conclusion, we speculate that the decrease in the number of inflammatory cells after oral administration of the selenium nanoparticles is due to the neuroprotective effects of this nanoparticle.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed to investigate the antioxidant effects of selenium and coenzyme Q on renal damage in a partial unilateral ureteral obstruction (PUUO) in a rat model. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 24 Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups as Group 1 Control Group, Group 2, PUUO Group, Group 3 PUUO + coenzyme Q group, Group 4 PUUO + selenium group. Paraoxonase (PON), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and total oxidant levels (TOS) were analyzed biochemically from tissue and blood samples. Tissue samples were examined histopathologically. RESULTS The TAC in the tissues was found to be statistically significantly increased in Groups 3 and 4, compared to Group 2. Tissue TOS was found to be significantly reduced in Groups 3 and 4, compared to Group 2. Serum PON levels were significantly increased in Group 3 and 4, compared to Group 1 and 2. Histopathological examination showed that interstitial inflammation and congestion were lesser in the coenzyme Q and selenium groups than in the PUUO group. A more significant decrease was found in the selenium group than in the coenzyme Q group. CONCLUSION Our study results showed that coenzyme Q and selenium reduced the oxidation and the damage in tissue in PUUO in rats.

Abstract
Objectives
This study was conducted to explore whether Hypericum perforatum L. (HPL) as a potent antioxidant protects against oxidative stress, cytokine production and caspase expression in muscle (soleus), brain and blood of sciatic nerve injury (SNI)-induced rats.
Methods
Thirty-five rats were equally divided into five groups. The first and second were used as untreated control and sham control groups, respectively. The third, fourth and fifth were sham + HPL, SNI and SNI + HPL groups, respectively. The third and fifth groups received 30 mg/kg HPL via gastric gavage for 28 days.
Key findings
High levels of muscle, brain and red blood cell (RBC) lipid peroxidation, plasma cytokine (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-2), muscle PARP, caspase 3 and 9 expression levels were decreased by HPL treatments. Plasma glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity, α-tocopherol and melatonin, muscle, brain and RBC reduced glutathione (GSH) concentrations were decreased by SNI induction, whereas their values were increased by HPL treatments. β-carotene and retinol concentrations did not change in the five groups.
Conclusion
HPL may play a role in preventing SNI-induced inflammatory, oxidative and apoptotic blood, muscle and brain damages through upregulation of the GSH and GPx values but downregulation of PARP, caspase level and cytokine production in SNI-induced rats.
