| Abstract | Selenium is an important trace mineral necessary for human health. Clinical trials have shown potential inhibitory effects of selenium in advanced or aggressive prostate cancer. However, its mechanism of action remains unclear. This study investigated the mechanism of action of sodium selenite in human prostate cancer PC-3 cells using proteomics. CCK-8 assays were used to detect cell viability and the inhibitory rate. Cell apoptosis was detected by annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide double staining using flow cytometry. Selenite inhibited the growth of PC-3 cells causing them to display morphological changes typical of apoptosis. The rate of cell apoptosis also increased. Proteomics identified a variety of differentially expressed proteins in PC-3 cells exposed to selenite. Eighteen protein spots were identified by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. These proteins were separated into those involved in redox balance, protein degradation and cellular energy metabolism. Three differently expressed proteins (SOD1, Stathmin and Erp29) were chosen for Western blot verification, together with several apoptosis-related proteins. Western blot analyses showed that selenite-induced apoptosis was accompanied by activation of caspase-8 and specific proteolytic cleavage of PARP. This led to an increase in the pro-apoptotic protein Bax, and to a decrease in the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and in hypoxia inducible factor-1α. Increased ROS generation and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential were consistent with reduced expression of antioxidative proteins identified by comparative proteomics. We therefore propose that sodium selenite induces the apoptosis of PC-3 cells mainly through the mitochondrial pathway, but also via ER stress and HIF-1α mediated pathways. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
