Selenoprotein P neutralizes lipopolysaccharide and participates in hepatic cell endoplasmic reticulum stress response

Low serum selenium or selenoprotein P (SePP) levels have been repetitively observed in severe sepsis. The role of SePP in sepsis is incompletely characterized. To test the hypothesis that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) interacts with SePP, we investigated the interaction between LPS and the histidine‐rich...

Description
Summary:Low serum selenium or selenoprotein P (SePP) levels have been repetitively observed in severe sepsis. The role of SePP in sepsis is incompletely characterized. To test the hypothesis that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) interacts with SePP, we investigated the interaction between LPS and the histidine‐rich (His‐rich) regions of SePP. We demonstrate that both purified SePP and synthetic peptides corresponding to the His‐rich motifs neutralized LPS. In addition, we used a hepatocyte model to study the fate of SePP in response to LPS or endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Our findings indicate that ER stress increases the cellular level of SePP and promotes its nuclear localization.
