摘要
Mammalian thioredoxin reductase (TRR; NADPH(2):oxidized thioredoxin oxidoreductase, E.C. 1.6.4.5) is a new member of the family of selenocysteine-containing proteins. TRR activity in Se-deficient rat liver is reported to decrease to 4.5 to 15% of the activity in Se-adequate rat liver, similar to the fall in Se-dependent glutathione peroxidase-1 activity. Both glutathione peroxidase-1 enzyme activity and mRNA levels decrease dramatically in Se deficiency, whereas glutathione peroxidase-4 activity only decreases to 40% of Se-adequate levels and mRNA level is little affected by Se deficiency. The purpose of these experiments is to study the effect of Se status on TRR mRNA levels and enzyme activity in our well-characterized rat model, and to compare this regulation directly to the regulation of other Se-dependent proteins in male weanling rats fed Se-deficient diets or supplemented with dietary Se for 28 days. In two experiments, TRR activity in Se-deficient liver decreased to 15% of Se-adequate activity as compared to 2% and 40% of Se-adequate levels for GPX1 and GPX4, respectively. Using ribonuclease protection analysis, we found that TRR mRNA levels in Se-deficient rat liver decreased to 70% of Se-adequate levels. This decrease in TRR mRNA was similar to the GPX4 mRNA decrease in Se-deficient liver in these experiments, whereas GPX1 mRNA levels decreased to 23% of Se-adequate levels. This study clearly shows that TRR represents a third pattern of Se regulation with dramatic down-regulation of enzyme activity in Se deficiency but with only a modest decrease in mRNA level. The conservation of TRR mRNA in Se deficiency suggests that this is a valued enzyme; the loss of TRR activity in Se deficiency may be the cause of some signs of Se deficiency.
