Abstract
Selenium (Se) is a vital trace element for many living organisms inclusive of aquatic species. Although the antagonistic action of this element against other pollutants has been previously described for mammals and birds, limited information on the join effects in bivalves is available. To this end, bivalves of the species Scrobicularia plana were exposed to Se and Cd individually and jointly. Digestive glands were analysed to determine dose-dependent effects, the potential influence of Se on Cd bioaccumulationas well as the possible recover of the oxidative stress and metabolic alterations induced by Cd. Selenium co-exposure decreased the accumulation of Cd at low concentrations. Cd exposure significantly altered the metabolome of clams such as aminoacyltRNA biosynthesis, glycerophospholipid and amino acid metabolism, while Se co-exposure ameliorated several altered metabolites such asLysoPC (14:0), LysoPE (20:4), LysoPE (22:6), PE (14:0/18:0), PE (20:3/18:4) andpropionyl-l-carnitine.Additionally, Se seems to be able to regulate the redox status of the digestive gland of clams preventing the induction of oxidativedamage in this organ. This study shows the potential Se antagonism against Cd toxicity in S. plana and the importance to study join effects of pollutants to understand the mechanism underlined the effects.

Abstract
Water pollution poses an important problem, but limited information is available about the joined effects of xenobiotics of different chemical groups to evaluate the real biological response. Procambarus clarkii (P. clarkii) has been demonstrated to be a good bioindicator for assessing the quality of aquatic ecosystems. In this work, we studied the bioaccumulation of cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As) and diclofenac (DCF) in different tissues of P. clarkii during 21 days after the exposure to a "chemical cocktail" of As, Cd and DCF, and until 28 days considering a depuration period. In addition, a combined untargeted and targeted metabolomic analysis was carried out to delve the metabolic impairments caused as well as the metabolization of DCF. Our results indicate that As and Cd were mainly accumulated in the hepatopancreas followed by gills and finally abdominal muscle. As and Cd show a general trend to increase the concentration throughout the exposure experience, while a decrease in the concentration of these elements is observed after 7 days of the depuration process. This is also the case in the abdominal muscle for Cd, but not for As and DCF, which increased the concentration in this tissue in the depuration phase. The hepatopancreas showed the greatest number of metabolic pathways affected. Thus, we observed a crucial bioaccumulation of xenobiotics and impairments of metabolites in different tissues. This is the first study combining the exposure to metals and pharmaceutically active compounds in P. clarkii by untargeted metabolomics including the biotransformation of DCF.

Abstract
The growing interest of our society for the environment, climate change, and the assurance of the quality of life and health has been the motor of new methodological proposals that allow a more comprehensive knowledge of the problems to be solved. In this sense, the potential of omic methodologies to study these problems from a global perspective represents a milestone in environmental studies. Therefore, the study of essential and toxic metals has a special interest, particularly in relation to toxicity issues and their association to biological interactions, transport, binding to biomolecules, and behavior in biological interfaces. These studies have promoted new instrumental platforms and methodological approaches that allow addressing these problems. Furthermore, to encompass the reality of molecule-atoms interactions in their completeness, combinations of omics have been tried, focusing on environment, food, and health issues. In this sense, the present work is situated, with the objective of reviewing the most recent methodological proposals in the field of the environment and their applications, considering not only the analytical approaches but also how they have to be applied, the use of bioindicators' exposure experiments in the laboratory, and the potential transfer of the findings from the laboratory to the field. This latter point is a true touchstone, which makes these new analytical methodologies in the necessary tools for understanding the environment and the consequences of its imbalance.

Abstract
Lung cancer (LC) is the second most common cause of death in men after prostate cancer, and the third most recurrent type of tumor in women after breast and colon cancers. Unfortunately, when LC symptoms begin to appear, the disease is already in an advanced stage and the survival rate only reaches 2%. Thus, there is an urgent need for early diagnosis of LC using specific biomarkers, as well as effective therapies and strategies against LC. On the other hand, the influence of metals on more than 50% of proteins is responsible for their catalytic properties or structure, and their presence in molecules is determined in many cases by the genome. Research has shown that redox metal dysregulation could be the basis for the onset and progression of LC disease. Moreover, metals can interact between them through antagonistic, synergistic and competitive mechanisms, and for this reason metals ratios and correlations in LC should be explored. One of the most studied antagonists against the toxic action of metals is selenium, which plays key roles in medicine, especially related to selenoproteins. The study of potential biomarkers able to diagnose the disease in early stage is conditioned by the development of new analytical methodologies. In this sense, omic methodologies like metallomics, proteomics and metabolomics can greatly assist in the discovery of biomarkers for LC early diagnosis.

Abstract
In this work, we describe for the first time the presence of selenoprotein P in human breast milk. To this end, a novel analytical method has been developed based on a two-dimensional column switching system, which consisted of three size exclusion columns and one affinity column coupled to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The method combines the accurate quantification of selenoproteins and selenometabolites by species unspecific isotopic dilution ICP-MS, with unequivocal identification by quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Several selenopeptides, which contain the amino acid selenocysteine (U, SeCys), were identified after tryptic digestion followed by their separation. The results reveal that the relative selenium concentration in colostrum follows the order: glutathione peroxidase (GPX) ≈ selenoprotein P (SELENOP) > selenocystamine (SeCA) > other selenometabolites (SeMB), in contrast with previously published papers (GPX > SeCA > selenocystine > selenomethionine). A mean concentration of 20.1 ± 1.0 ng Se g-1 as SELENOP (1.45 μg SELENOP/g) was determined in colostrum (31% of total selenium).

Abstract
One of the most important causes of the high mortality rate and low life expectancy of lung cancer is the detection at advanced stages. Thus, there is an urgent need for early diagnosis and the search of new selective biomarkers. Selenium is an important constituent of selenoproteins and a powerful antioxidant able to protect against cancer. In this work, the absolute quantification of selenium in selenoproteins and the total content in selenometabolites has been performed for the first time in serum from lung cancer patients (LC) and healthy controls (HC). To this end, a method for the simultaneous speciation of selenoproteins using size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and affinity chromatography (AF) with detection by ICP-QQQ-MS, and quantification by isotopic dilution (IDA) (SEC-AF-HPLC-SUID-ICP-QQQ-MS) was developed to determine the selenium concentration in eGPx, SEPP1 and SeAlb, as well as total selenometabolites, to find alterations that may serve as biomarkers of this disease. In the same way, a method based on anion-exchange chromatography coupled to ICP-QQQ-MS was developed to quantify selenometabolites (SeCys2, SeMeSeCys, SeMet, selenite and selenate) in the same LC and HC serum samples. The results showed that the averaged concentrations of selenium in eGPx, SeAlb and selenite were significantly higher in LC patients (LC (eGPx: 21.24 ± 0.77 ng g-1; SeAlb: 49.56 ± 3.16 ng g-1 and Se(IV): 6.20 ± 1.22 ng g-1) than in HC group (eGPx: 16.96 ± 0.53 ng g-1; SeAlb: 38.33 ± 2.66 ng g-1 and Se(IV): 3.56 ± 0.55 ng g-1). In addition, the ratios between selenoproteins and selenometabolites have been calculated for the first to study their potential use as LC biomarkers. The rates eGPx/SEPP1, SEPP1/SeAlb, eGPx/Se(IV) and SEPP1/Se(IV) were significantly different between LC and HC groups.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) has become one of the most important environmental pollutants in the world, derived from natural and industrial sources, which is known to be accumulated in the human body, producing serious health effects. On the other hand, Selenium (Se) is an essential element for mammals, which is well known for its antagonistic interaction against Cd toxicity, such as the prevention of oxidative stress induced by this element. For this reason, the use of complementary analytical methods to study the homeostasis of metals, "traffic" between different organs and massive information about metabolites altered by the exposure, is of great interest. To this end, a metabolomic workflow based on the use of direct infusion mass spectrometry (DIMS) and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was applied in mice serum. On the other hand, metal homeostasis and traffic between different organs and serum of mice exposed to Cd and Se have been evaluated by determining the concentration of metals by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. This work demonstrates for the first time that Cd exposure causes a decrease of all the elements studied in the lung except itself. On the other hand, Se provokes As trafficking from metabolically less active organs (brain, lung, and testes) to others with greater metabolic activity (kidney), which also facilitates its excretion. Moreover, when mice are only exposed to Se, it provokes the accumulation of almost all the elements in the kidney, except Cd that increases also in the liver and brain. However, when both elements are simultaneously administered, Se increases Cd concentration in all the organs except in the serum and especially in the testis. On the other hand, important metabolic alterations have been detected in the energy and amino acid metabolism, as well as degradation of phospholipidic membranes, and in free fatty acids. In summary, the results show the high potential of the combined use of organic and inorganic mass spectrometry to establish Cd and Se interaction and the biological impairments caused and to provide information about metal traffic and metabolomic changes in exposure experiments.

Abstract
Among organic contaminants, pesticides are one of the most important groups of chemicals due to their persistent character and toxicity. However, the biological systems are exposed to a complex environment in which the contaminants can interact in a synergistic/antagonistic fashion, and for this reason, the study of "chemical cocktails" is of great interest to fully understand the final biological effect. In this way, selenium is known for its antagonistic action against several toxicants. In this paper, metabolic impairments caused by the joint exposure of p,p'-dichloro diphenyl trichloroethane (DDE) and selenium (Se) have been issued for the first time. A metabolomic workflow was applied to mice fed DDE and DDE with Se diet, on the basis of the complementary use of two organic mass spectrometric techniques, combining direct infusion mass spectrometry (DI-ESI-QqQ-TOF MS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results show a good classification between the studied groups caused by about 70 altered metabolites in the liver, kidney, or brain, including the pathways of energy metabolism, degradation of phospholipidic membrane, β-oxidation, and oxidative stress, which confirm the potential of combined metabolomic platforms in environmental studies.

Abstract
Selenium is an essential element incorporated to different proteins with important biological functions in connection to antioxidant activity, cancer-protective properties, neurodegenerative pathologies, and prevention of effects of diabetes, among others. In addition, selenoamino acids play a basic role in the global equilibrium of key selenium-biomolecules synthesis, including selenoprotein P, selenoalbumin, and glutathione peroxidase. Homeostasis of these selenium-containing biomolecules involves different organs in living organisms including human, and bloodstream is the connection fluid in this process. Therefore, it is very important to have an analytical methodology suitable for selenium proteins and metabolites speciation in serum and plasma samples. For this purpose, a simultaneous speciation method for Se-containing biomolecules in serum/plasma is described on the basis of in series three-dimensional chromatography: size exclusion, affinity, and anion exchange high performance liquid chromatography (3D/SE-AF-AEC-HPLC), using different columns of each type and hyphenation to inductively coupled plasma-(quadrupole) mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The method allows the quantitative simultaneous analysis of selenoprotein P (SeP), extracellular glutathione peroxidase (eGPx), selenoalbumin (SeAlb), selenite, and selenate in serum (from human and mouse) using species-unspecific isotope dilution (SUID). In addition, a simplified two-dimensional approach (2D/SE-AF-HPLC-SUID-ICP-MS) is described when selenium metabolites are globally analyzed. The method provides detection limits in the range 0.2-1.3 ng of Se g-1 and avoids typical interferences in this matrix from chloride and bromide with a chromatographic runtime less than 35 min.

Abstract
Arsenic is a toxic element extensively studied in the marine environment due to differential toxicological effects of inorganic and organic species. In the present work, the bivalve Scrobicularia plana was exposed to AsV (10 and 100 μg/L) for 14 days to evaluate the metabolic perturbations caused by this element. Arsenic speciation and metabolomic analysis were performed in the digestive gland of the bivalve using two complementary analytical platforms based on inorganic and organic mass spectrometry. It has been observed the greater presence of the innocuous specie arsenobetaine produced in this organism as defense mechanism against arsenic toxicity, although significant concentrations of methylated and inorganic arsenic were also present, depending on the level of arsenic in aqueous media. Complementarily, a metabolomic study based on mass spectrometry and statistical discriminant analysis allows a good classification of samples associated to low and high As(V) exposure in relation to controls. About 15 metabolites suffer significant changes of expression by the presence of As(V): amino acids, nucleotides, energy-related metabolites, free fatty acids, phospholipids and triacylglycerides, which can be related to membrane structural and functional damage. In addition, perturbation of the methylation cycle, associated with the increase of homocysteine and methionine was observed, which enhance the methylation of toxic inorganic arsenic to less toxic dimethylarsenic.
