Effects of Selenium-Enriched Protein fromGanoderma lucidumon the Levels of IL-1βand TNF-α, Oxidative Stress, and NF-κB Activation in Ovalbumin-Induced Asthmatic Mice

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to compare the effect and toxicity of organic selenium (Pro-Se) with inorganic selenium (IOSe) in preventing asthma in ovalbumin-induced asthmatic mice. After the mice were treated orally with Pro-Se and IOSe, respectively, the plasma Se levels, Se accumulation in liver and kidney, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), oxidative stress, and NF-κB activation in lung were examined. The results showed that the serumal Se levels in the mice fed the Pro-Se we… Show more

“…S7). It also has been reported that by inhibiting the activation of the PI3K/AKT and ERK signaling pathways and endoplasmic reticulum stress, Se can suppress oxidative-stress-enhanced vascular smooth muscle cell calcification60, further reducing the levels of IL-1β, TNF- α, oxidative stress, and NF- κ B activation61. On the contrary, a diet with a Se deficiency weakens antioxidant capacity62.…”

“…It is also required for proper immune response (Hawkes and others ) and reproductive function (Ahsan and others ). Importantly, it has been demonstrated that polysaccharides (for example, SeGLP‐2B‐1) isolated from Se‐enriched G. lucidum showed antitumor activity through inducement of apoptosis in breast cancer cells (Shang and others ), whereas proteins isolated from Se‐supplemented mushrooms exhibited significant immunomodulatory properties (Min‐Chang and others ).…”
