| Abstract | Maintenance of the antioxidant activity of selenoproteins is one potential mechanism of the beneficial health effects of selenium. Selenoprotein P is the primary selenium distribution protein of the body as well as the major selenium containing protein in serum. The transcriptional regulation of selenoprotein P is of interest since the extrahepatic expression of this gene has demonstrated differentiation-dependent expression in development as well as under different disease states. SEPP1 displays patterned expression in numerous tissues during development and the loss of SEPP1 expression has been observed in malignancy. In addition, factors that influence inflammatory processes like cytokines and their regulators have been implicated in selenoprotein P transcriptional control. Herein, we identify a retinoid responsive element and describe a mechanism where the glucocorticoid receptor negatively regulates expression of selenoprotein P. Luciferase reporter assays and quantitative PCR were used to measure selenoprotein P transcription in engineered HEK-293 cells. When stimulated with ecdysone analogs, selenoprotein P expression was increased with the use of a fusion transcription factor that contains the glucocorticoid receptor DNA binding domain, an ecdysone ligand-binding domain, and a strong transactivation domain as well as the retinoid X receptor. The native glucocorticoid receptor inhibited selenoprotein P transactivation, and selenoprotein P was further attenuated in the presence of dexamethasone. Our results may provide insight into a potential mechanism by which selenium is redistributed during development, differentiation or under conditions of critical illness, where glucocorticoid levels are typically increased. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
