The present study aims to investigate the protective effect and underlying mechanism of nanoscale selenium (Nano-Se) in Hcy-mediated vascular endothelial cell dysfunction in vitro and in vivo.Materials and Methods: By incubating vascular endothelial cells with exogenous Hcy and generating hyperhomocysteinemic rat model, the effects of Nano-Se on hyperhomocysteinemia-mediated endothelial dysfunction and its essential mechanisms were investigated.Results: Nano-Se inhibited Hcy-induced mitochondrial oxidative damage and apoptosis by preventing the downregulation of glutathione peroxidase enzyme 1 and 4 (GPX1, GPX4) in the vascular endothelial cells, thus effectively prevented the vascular damage in vitro and in vivo in the hyperhomocysteinemic rats. Nano-Se possessed similar protective effects but lower toxicity against Hcy in vascular endothelial cells when compared with other forms of Se.Conclusion: The application of Nano-Se could serve as a novel promising strategy against Hcy-mediated vascular dysfunction with reduced risk of Se toxicity.Keywords: nano-selenium, Nano-Se, homocysteine, endothelium dysfunction, glutathione peroxidase enzymes, GPXs, reactive oxygen species, ROSZheng ZLiu LZhou KDing LZeng JZhang WDove Medical Pressarticlenano-selenium (nano-se)homocysteineendothelium dysfunctionglutathione peroxidase enzymes (gpxs)reactive oxygen species (ros)Medicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol Volume 15, Pp 4501-4521 (2020) |
