Selenoprotein S

Micronutrients are essential for optimal human health. However, in some cases, raising intake by supplementation has not proven to be beneficial and there is even some evidence that supplementation may increase disease risk, highlighting the importance of assessing the functional status of micronutrients. Techniques such as gene microarrays and single-nucleotide polymorphism analysis have the potential to examine effects of micronutrient intake on patterns of gene expression and inter-individual variation in micronutrient metabolism. Recent genomic research related to selenium (Se) provides examples illustrating how studies of functional single-nucleotide polymorphism and gene expression patterns can reveal novel biomarkers of micronutrient function. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments show that there are functionally relevant polymorphisms in genes encoding glutathione peroxidases 1, 3 and 4, selenoprotein P, selenoprotein S and the 15 kDa selenoprotein. Disease association studies investigating these gene variants have so far been relatively small but an association of a polymorphism in the selenoprotein S gene with colorectal cancer risk has been replicated in two distinct populations. Future disease association studies should examine effects of multiple variants in combination with nutritional status. Gene microarray studies indicate that changes in Se intake alter expression of components of inflammatory, stress response and translation pathways. Our hypothesis is that Se intake and genetic factors have linked effects on stress response, inflammation and apoptotic pathways. Combining such data in a systems biology approach has the potential to identify both biomarkers of micronutrients status and sub-group populations at particular risk.
