Effects of AG treatment on selenoprotein expression in mice. Mice fed Se-deficient or Se-sufficient diets were treated with G418 or gentamicin. (A) Ddit3 was analyzed as an AG-responsive gene in kidney and liver, and significantly increased Ddit3 mRNA concentrations were observed in kidney upon G418 injection (ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s). (B) Western blot analyses of Gpx3 and Selenop showed no differences in expression levels in response to G418 or gentamicin in Se-treated or Se-deficient mice. (C) Se concentrations were higher in the selenite-supplemented mice than in mice raised on a Se-deficient diet. No effect of AG treatment on serum Se was detectable. (D) Se concentrations of precipitated protein from serum were higher in Se supplemented than in Se-deficient mice. Differences between the AG treatment groups were not detectable. (Mean ± SEM, n = 7).
