N2 - OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of sodium selenite on expression of telomerase reverse transcriptase mRNA, c-Myc and p53 induced by cadmium chloride in rat liver. METHODS: Male SD rats were divided randomly into 6 groups, each group had 5 animals. The groups comprised the control group, Se group (5 micromol/kg sodium selenite), 5 micromol/kg cadmium chloride group, 10 micromol/kg cadmium chloride group, Se (5 micromol/kg sodium selenite) + 5 micromol/kg cadmium chloride group, Se (5 micromol/kg sodium selenite) + 10 micromol/kg cadmium chloride group. After 48 hours of the first injection, the expression of TERT mRNA was measured with RT-PCR and c-Myc, and p53 proteins were measured by immunohistochemistry method. RESULTS: Compared with control group, the expression of TERT was increased in 5 micromol/kg Cd group and 10 micromol/kg Cd group, c-Myc protein was increased in 10 micromol/kg Cd group, and the expression of p53 protein was increased in 5 micromol/kg group and 10 micromol/kg Cd group. TERT expression in Se + 10 micromol/kg Cd group was lower than that of 10 micromol/kg Cd group significantly. c-Myc protein was decreased in Se + 10 micromol/kg Cd group compared with 10 micromol/kg Cd group. p53 protein of Se + 5 micromol/kg Cd group and Se + 10 micromol/kg Cd group were decreased significantly compared with 5 micromol/kg Cd group and 10 micromol/kg Cd group respectively. CONCLUSION: The cadmium at the doses of between 5 and 10 micromol/kg can activate TERT and up-regulate c-Myc and p53 proteins. The selenium at the dose of 5 micromol/kg has the antagonistic effect on expression of TERT, c-Myc and p53 induced by cadmium in rat liver.
