Purpose of this study is to investigate mechanism/s of cyto-protection by selenium (Na2SeO3; Se4+) against cadmium (CdCl2; Cd2+)-induced cytotoxicity using PC12 cells. In addition, Se (5, 10, 20 and 40 μM) and Cd (2.5, 5 and 10 μM)-induced cytotoxicity is determined. Cytotoxicity assays and western blot analyses confirmed that Se (≥10 μM) promotes autophagic cell death via inhibition of mTOR activation and p62 accumulation due to increase of cellular oxidative stress. On the other hand, co-presence of non-toxic Se (5 μM) and toxic Cd (5 μM) showed to increase cell viability, glutathione and glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPx1) levels, and to decrease DNA fragmentation and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity compared to Cd-treated (5 μM) cells alone. Furthermore, western blot analyses of cytochrome c and ERK1 indicated that Cd-induced apoptotic cell death in PC12 cells. However, the co-exposure of Se with Cd significantly decreases the release of cytochrome c into cytosol from mitochondria, and up-regulates ERK1 protein to inhibit Cd-induced apoptosis. In conclusion, Se (≥10 μM) possess cytotoxicity in PC12 cells; however, co-presence of Se (5 μM) with Cd (5 μM) protects against Cd-induced apoptosis in PC12 cells due to inhibition of Cd-induced oxidative stress and subsequently suppression of mitochondrial apoptosis pathway.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008928 Mitochondria Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes.
