RESUMO

Aluminum is widely used in daily life due to its excellent properties. However, aluminum exposure to the environment severely threatens animal and human health. Conversely, selenium (Se) contributes to maintaining the balance of the immune system. Neutrophils exert immune actions in several ways, including neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) that localize and capture exogenous substances. Despite the recent investigations on the toxic effects of aluminum and its molecular mechanisms, the immunotoxicity of aluminum nanoparticles on pigs and the antagonistic effect of selenium on aluminum toxicity are poorly understood. Here, we treated porcine peripheral blood neutrophils with zymosan for 3 h to induce NETs formation. Then, we investigated the effect of nanoaluminum on NETs formation in pigs and its possible molecular mechanisms. Microscopy observations revealed that NETs formation was inhibited by nanoaluminum. Using a multifunctional microplate reader, the production of extracellular DNA and the burst of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in porcine neutrophils were inhibited by nanoaluminum. Western blot analyses showed that nanoaluminum caused changes in amounts of cellular selenoproteins. After Se supplementation, the production of porcine NETs, the burst of ROS, and selenoprotein levels were restored. This study indicated that nanoaluminum inhibited the zymosan-induced burst of ROS and release of NETs from porcine neutrophils, possibly through the selenoprotein signaling pathway. In contrast, Se supplementation reduced the toxic effects of nanoaluminum and restored NETs formation.
