Abstract

Selenoprotein P (SeP) is a highly glycosylated, selenium-rich plasma protein. Aside from its role as selenium carrier protein, an antioxidative function of SeP has been suggested. Astrocytes, which detoxify reactive oxygen species in the brain, were described as potential target cells of SeP. We investigated the expression of SeP in human astrocytes and its involvement in the protection of these cells against tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP)-induced oxidative damage. We show that primary human astrocytes and the human astrocytoma cell line MOG-G-CCM express SeP as an unglycosylated protein, which is not secreted. SeP expression in astrocytes is constitutive. Preincubation of astrocytes with hepatocyte-derived SeP mimicks the protective effect of low-molecular-weight selenocompounds such as sodium selenite or selenomethionine against oxidative damage, shielding astrocytes from t-BHP-induced cytotoxicity. Selenium supplementation of astrocytes counteracts oxidative stress via an increase in expression and activity of the selenoenzyme cytosolic glutathione peroxidase (cGPx). Furthermore, specific downregulation of SeP expression by small interfering RNA decreases cell viability of human astrocytes and makes them more susceptible t...Continue Reading

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons. Some PD-genes may be associated with astrocyte dysfunction. Discover the latest research on astrocytes in Parkinson's disease here.

Astrocytes & Neurodegeneration

Astrocytes are important for the health and function of the central nervous system. When these cells stop functioning properly, either through gain of function or loss of homeostatic controls, neurodegenerative diseases can occur. Here is the latest research on astrocytes and neurodegeneration.
