Abstract

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) can cause hepatotoxicity, genotoxicity, and immunosuppressive effects for a variety of organisms. Selenium (Se), as an essential nutrient element, plays important protective effects against cell apoptosis induced by AFB1. This research aimed to reveal the ameliorative effects of selenium on AFB1-induced excess apoptosis in chicken splenocytes through death receptor and endoplasmic reticulum pathways in vivo. Two hundred sixteen neonatal chickens, randomized into four treatments, were fed with basal diet (control treatment), 0.4 mg/kg Se supplement (+Se treatment), 0.6 mg/kg AFB1 (AFB1 treatment), and 0.6 mg/kg AFB1 + 0.4 mg/kg Se (AFB1 + Se treatment) during 21 days of experiment, respectively. Compared with the AFB1 treatment, the levels of splenocyte apoptosis in the AFB1 + Se treatment were obviously dropped by flow cytometry and TUNEL assays although they were still significantly higher than those in the control or + Se treatments. Furthermore, the mRNA expressions of CASP-3, CASP-8 and CASP-10, GRP78, GRP94, TNF-α, TNF-R1, FAS, and FASL of splenocytes in the AFB1 + Se treatment by qRT-PCR assay were significantly decreased compared with the AFB1 treatment. These results indicate that Se could partially ...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
