Selenium Alleviates Aflatoxin B1‑Induced Immune Toxicity through Improving Glutathione Peroxidase 1 and Selenoprotein S Expression in Primary Porcine Splenocytes Shu Hao, Junfa Hu, Suquan Song, Da Huang, Haibing Xu, Gang Qian, Fang Gan, and Kehe Huang* Institute of Nutritional and Metabolic Disorders in Domestic Animals and Fowls and College of Veterinary Medicine, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210095, Jiangsu Province, China ABSTRACT: Selenium (Se) is generally known as an essential micronutrient and antioxidant for humans and animals. Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a frequent contaminant of food and feed, causing immune toxicity and hepatotoxicity. Little has been done about the mechanisms of how Se protects against AFB1-induced immune toxicity. The aim of this present study is to investigate the protective effects of Se against AFB1 and the underlying mechanisms. The primary splenocytes isolated from healthy pigs were stimulated by anti-pig-CD3 monoclonal antibodies and treated by various concentrations of different Se forms and AFB1. The results showed that Se supplementation alleviated the immune toxicity of AFB1 in a dose-dependent manner, as demonstrated by increasing T-cell proliferation and interleukin-2 production. Addition of buthionine sulfoximine abrogated the protective effects of SeMet against AFB1. SeMet enhanced mRNA and protein expression of glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPx1), selenoprotein S (SelS), and thioredoxin reductase 1 without and with AFB1 treatments. Furthermore, knockdown of GPx1 and SelS by GPx1specific siRNA and SelS-specific siRNA diminished the protective effects of SeMet against AFB1-induced immune toxicity. It is concluded that SeMet diminishes AFB1-induced immune toxicity through increasing antioxidant ability and improving GPx1 and SelS expression in splenocytes. This study suggests that organic selenium may become a promising supplementation to protect humans and animals against the decline in immunity caused by AFB1.

INTRODUCTION Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), produced by the fungi Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus, is commonly found in foods and feedstuffs and is considered accountable for the increased incidence of health impairment and economic losses.1,2 For example, Lai surveyed the occurrence of aflatoxins (AFs) in rice collected from six provinces in China at 63.5%, and the average concentrations was 0.65 μg/kg.3 Wu described that over 100 nations have AFB1 contamination, which incurs economic losses including export maize and other AFB1-contaminated commodities.4 Numerous epidemiological studies have linked consumption of aflatoxin-contaminated food and feedstuffs to immune toxicity,5 carcinogenicity,6 genotoxicity,7 hepatotoxicity,8 and reproductive disorders.9 Among these, a consensus is growing that chronic toxin poisoning has become an interesting topic in public life because chronic toxin poisoning, which is associated with a reduction of immune function and an increase of susceptibility to infectious diseases, is widespread and covert. Therefore, chronic toxin poisoning brings more serious economic losses in livestock husbandry.10 That is why AFB1induced immune toxicity will be worth studying in the present work. Selenium (Se), although initially considered a toxin, is now viewed as an essential trace element linked to many health benefits in humans and other mammals.11 In recent years, there has been growing interest in selenium in relation to chemopreventive effects,12 oxidant defense,13 and protective effects against cancer and other chronic diseases.14 The biological effects of Se are exerted through covalent bonding within the amino acid selenocysteine (Sec),15 the 21st amino © XXXX American Chemical Society

acid used for selenoprotein synthesis. Numerous selenoprotein families participate in antioxidant defense and redox state regulation, such as cytosolic glutathione peroxidase (GPx), selenoprotein S (SelS), and thioredoxin reductases (TR).16,17 Several previous pieces of evidence have shown that selenoprotein is a key factor in the modulation of the immune system, suggesting that dietary Se levels modulate free thiol levels and specific signaling events during CD4+ T cell activation, thus influencing their proliferation and differentiation.18 However, further work is needed to provide insight into the role of selenium and specific selenoproteins in relation to diverse diseases. From the results of previous studies, the doses of AFB1 and SeMet were determined.19,20 As we know, pigs are extremely sensitive to AFB121 and considered to be a tractable model for human immunity. The spleen is the center of cellular immunity and humoral immunity in body, accounting for 25% of total body lymphatic tissue, containing many lymphocytes and macrophages. That is why this species and tissue for the assays were chosen for the present work. The objectives of this study were to investigate the effect of organic selenium on the AFB1-induced immune toxicity in primary porcine splenocytes and to explore the mechanisms by which selenoprotein affects AFB1-induced immune toxicity.

Animal and Cell Culture. The experimental animals were approved by the Nanjing Agricultural University Animal Care Committee. A total of 80 normal Meishan pigs with half males and half females, aged 30 days and weighing 8 ± 2 kg, were collected from the breeding center of Jiangsu Polytechnic College of Agriculture and Forestry and killed. The following procedures were performed as previously described.19 Isolated spleen lymphocytes were cultivated with enriched RPMI-1640 medium (Invitrogen, Paisley, Scotland, UK), were added to 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and penicillin− streptomycin (20 mg/mL), and cultivated at 37 °C in the incubator with 5% CO2. The viability of isolated spleen lymphocyte was evaluated by 0.4% trypan blue dye exclusion, and the standard of cell viability was used by 95%. Spleen Lymphocyte Proliferation Assay. Spleen lymphocytes (1 × 106 cells/well) were stimulated by anti-pig-CD3 mAb (Abcam, Cambridgeshire, UK) and cultivated in 96-well plates for 60 h. Sodium selenite and SeMet were exposed at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 μM concentrations. AFB1 was treated at 0, 1, 2, 4, and 8 μg/mL concentrations. 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) soluion (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) was later added at 5 mg/mL concentration. Finally, the optical density (OD) value was assessed as absorbance at 490 nm by enzyme-labeled instrument (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). Proliferative activity should be expressed as percent of viability. All samples were assayed in quadruplicate. A total of 1 ×106 cells/well carboxyfluorescein succinimidylester (CFSE) (Invitrogen, Paisley, Scotland, UK)-stained splenocytes was cultivated in 24-well plates for 60 h. Subsequently, splenocytes were centrifuged and stained with anti-CD3-PEcy5 (Abcam) and then prepared for flow cytometry analysis. Flow cytometry was performed using FACSCalibur (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) flow cytometers with acquisition enabled by CellQuest Pro software (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA). Color compensation was achieved using an appropriate single fluorochrome-labeled sample. Data were analyzed using FlowJo 7.6.5 (TreeStar). Determination of IL-2 in Splenocytes. Splenocytes (1 × 106 cells/well) were cultivated in 96-well plates and treated with various concentrations of SeMet (0, 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 μM) in the absence (controls) or presence of 4 μg/mL AFB1 for 60 h. The cell supernatants were then collected and assayed for IL-2 by ELISA (BD Biosciences). All samples were assayed in triplicate. GSH Level Analysis. Primary porcine splenocytes at a density of 2 × 106 cells/well in 6-well plates were treated with SeMet at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 μM with or without 4 μg/mL AFB1 for 60 h. Intracellular glutathione (GSH) in splenocyte cytosol was measured as previously described,19,20 using commercially available kits (Jiancheng, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China). Data were expressed as micromoles of GSH per gram of protein. All samples were assayed in triplicate. Determination of Selenoprotein mRNA Levels by Real-Time PCR. PCR primers (β-actin, GPx1, GPx4, SelS, and TR1) (Table 1) were designed using Beacon Designer (Palo Alto, CA, USA) and synthesized by Invitrogen on the basis of known porcine sequences. A total of 2 ×106 cells/wells were seeded in 6-well plates and cultured as described above. Total RNA was isolated from splenocytes using the RNAiso Plus kit (TaKaRa, Dalian, Liaoning, China) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. The RNA pellet was dissolved in diethyl pyrocarbonate-treated water, and the RNA quality was measured by the absorbance ratio at 260/280 nm. First-strand cDNA was synthesized from 1 μg of total RNA using Oligo dT primers and MMLV reverse transcriptase (TaKaRa) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Reactions were followed in an ABI Prism Step One Plus detection system (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA). In short, reactions were performed in a 20 μL reaction mixture containing 10 μL of 2 × SYBR Green I PCR Master Mix (TaKaRa), 2 μL of cDNA, 1 μL of each primer (10 μM), and 6.8 μL of PCR-grade water. The PCR procedure consisted of a 95 °C step for 30 s followed by 40 cycles consisting of 95 °C for 5 s and 60 °C for 30 s. A dissociation curve was run for each plate to confirm the production of a single

Spleen lymphocyte suspension was cultured in a 6-well plate at a density of 2 × 106 cells/well for 60 h. After separation by 15% sodium dodecyl sulfate−polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), protein molecules were transferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane (Bio-Rad Trans-Blot SD) and then incubated using a specific antibody to quantitatively detect GPx1 (1/500) (goat anti-GPx1 from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA) and SelS (1/500) protein (rabbit anti-actin from Santa Cruz Biotechnology) in TBST. After the first antibody reaction overnight, the PVDF membrane was washed by TBST three times and incubated in horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled anti-rabbit secondary antibody (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), diluted 1/5000 in 5 TBST. Blots were visualized according to the standard enhanced chemiluminescence system (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). Small Interfering RNA (siRNA) Transfection. Specific siRNA was designed using the sequence of Sus scrofa GPx1 mRNA (GenBank accession no. NM_214201.1) and SelS mRNA (GenBank accession no. NM_001164113) by Invitrogen BlockiT RNAi designer. The GPx1-specific siRNA sequence was 5′-GGGACUACACCCAGAUGAATT-3′. The control siRNA had the sequence 5′-UUCUCCGAACGUGUCACGUTT-3′. The SelS-specific siRNA sequence was 5′GCUUUAGCAGCAGCUCGUUTT-3′. The control siRNA had the sequence 5′-AACGAGCUGCUGCUAAAGCTT-3′. Duplexes were resuspended in DEPC-treated water to obtain 20 μM solutions before use. Primary porcine splenocytes in RPMI-1640 10% FBS without antibiotics were seeded in 6-well plates at a density of 2 × 106 cells/ well and incubated at 37 °C. X-tremeGene siRNA transfection reagent (Roche, Basel, Switzerland) (2.5 μL) and 0.5 μg of siRNA were added to each well and incubated for 5 h. The cells were then washed and transferred to RPMI-1640 + 10% FBS. Statistical Analysis. Statistical analyses were performed by a oneway analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey’s b (K) posttest to separate the means using the SPSS 18.0 computer program for Windows (Statistical Product and Service Solutions, Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Results are expressed as the mean ± standard error (SEM). p values of 90% organic selenium and >75% SeMet.28 The aim of the current study is to provide a theoretical foundation for the wide application of selenium-riched yeast and selenium-enriched probiotics, so we chose SeMet as the organic selenium resource in our cell experiment. Both Se resources have lower immune toxicity; however, SeMet showed a wider safe range and better protective effects than sodium selenite. Chen et al. showed that SeMet exhibited significantly lower toxicity compared with sodium selenite over a range of concentrations in PK15 cells, which was consistent with a previous study.29 Besides, Anjum demonstrated that among the organic forms of selenium, SeMet was bioavailable to a higher extent than selenocysteine,30 and Le31 reported that Se derived from SeMet showed the highest digestibility and bactericidal activities, significantly higher than those of Se from selenite and selenocysteine (57.47 to 45.95 and 46.56%). In contrast, the physiological concentration of Se in humans and pigs was 2 μM.32 Above all, SeMet at concentrations between 0.5 and 4 μM was selected in the present study. In this range of concentrations, SeMet does not have any toxic effect on primary porcine splenocytes. In anti-CD3-induced T cells, we found that SeMet supplementation was effective in protecting cells from 4 μg/ mL AFB1-induced immune toxicity as demonstrated by increasing cell proliferation and IL-2 production activity. To ensure the accuracy of the results, both MTT and flow cytometry were used as effective methods to measure the proliferation of T cells in the present experiment. Our current results strongly indicated SeMet could alleviate AFB1-induced immune toxicity in primary porcine splenocytes. To our knowledge, AFB1 treatment induced intracellular oxidative stress in the splenocytes, and the AFB1-induced immunotoxic effects were due to an increase of redox status. GSH was measured as an indicator of redox status;33 previous research indicated that GSH, a major intracellular thiol, will arise under more reduced conditions when more selenium is supplemented.34 We hypothesized that SeMet protected splenocytes against AFB1-induced immune toxicity by improving the intracellular oxidative stress. Our data show that supplementation with SeMet significantly alleviated AFB1induced GSH depletion. Moreover, we observed that BSO addition could enhance AFB1-induced immune toxicity and diminished the protective effects of SeMet against AFB1induced immune toxicity as measured by decreasing cell proliferation and IL-2 production. Both strongly indicated that SeMet could protect splenocytes against AFB1-induced immune toxicity by improving antioxidant capacity.
