xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Background</title><p>Selenium is a natural health product widely used in the treatment and prevention of lung cancers, but large chemoprevention trials have yielded conflicting results. We conducted a systematic review of selenium for lung cancers, and assessed potential interactions with conventional therapies.</p></sec><sec><title>Methods and Findings</title><p>Two independent reviewers searched six databases from inception to March 2009 for evidence pertaining to the safety and efficacy of selenium for lung cancers. Pubmed and EMBASE were searched to October 2009 for evidence on interactions with chemo- or radiation-therapy. In the efficacy analysis there were nine reports of five RCTs and two biomarker-based studies, 29 reports of 26 observational studies, and 41 preclinical studies. Fifteen human studies, one case report, and 36 preclinical studies were included in the interactions analysis. Based on available evidence, there appears to be a different chemopreventive effect dependent on baseline selenium status, such that selenium supplementation may reduce risk of lung cancers in populations with lower baseline selenium status (serum<106 ng/mL), but increase risk of lung cancers in those with higher selenium (≥121.6 ng/mL). Pooling data from two trials yielded no impact to odds of lung cancer, OR 0.93 (95% confidence interval 0.61–1.43); other cancers that were the primary endpoints of these trials, OR 1.51 (95%CI 0.70–3.24); and all-cause-death, OR 0.93 (95%CI 0.79–1.10). In the treatment of lung cancers, selenium may reduce cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity and side effects associated with radiation therapy.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusions</title><p>Selenium may be effective for lung cancer prevention among individuals with lower selenium status, but at present should not be used as a general strategy for lung cancer prevention. Although promising, more evidence on the ability of selenium to reduce cisplatin and radiation therapy toxicity is required to ensure that therapeutic efficacy is maintained before any broad clinical recommendations can be made in this context.</p></sec></div></front><back><div1 type="bibliography"><listBibl><biblStruct></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Micke, O"

Pubmed and EMBASE were searched to October 2009 for evidence on interactions with chemo- or radiation-therapy. In the efficacy analysis there were nine reports of five RCTs and two biomarker-based studies, 29 reports of 26 observational studies, and 41 preclinical studies. Fifteen human studies, one case report, and 36 preclinical studies were included in the interactions analysis. Based on available evidence, there appears to be a different chemopreventive effect dependent on baseline selenium status, such that selenium supplementation may reduce risk of lung cancers in populations with lower baseline selenium status (serum<106 ng/mL), but increase risk of lung cancers in those with higher selenium (≥121.6 ng/mL). Pooling data from two trials yielded no impact to odds of lung cancer, OR 0.93 (95% confidence interval 0.61–1.43); other cancers that were the primary endpoints of these trials, OR 1.51 (95%CI 0.70–3.24); and all-cause-death, OR 0.93 (95%CI 0.79–1.10).

We used a broad based MeSH and keyword approach combining clinical (lung cancer) and therapeutic (selenium) search terms: “(Selenium OR Seleno*) AND (Lung Neoplasm OR Lung Cancer OR Chemoprevention OR Chemo*).” Two searches were conducted by two independent investigators (HR and DAK): the first search was conducted in March 2009 and included all the above databases. Because the first search identified relatively few studies of interest in the databases CINAHL, AltHealth Watch, Cochrane and the National Library of Science and Technology, the second search focused solely on Pubmed and EMBASE. The second search updated the first search in August 2009, and was limited to human trials.</p><p>Screening of studies was initially conducted based on title review. In the event of uncertainty, abstracts and/or full texts were also reviewed. Only English language publications were included. Human trials had to assess the efficacy of selenium in a population of predominantly lung cancer patients for the purposes of treatment, primary or secondary prevention, reduction of side effects and toxicities associated with chemo- or radiation- therapy, or assessment of potential interactions with these therapies. Clinical surrogate studies were included if they examined endpoints directly related to lung cancer risk, pathogenesis, or objective markers assessing healthy bodily function such as hematological function in lung cancer patients. All types of lung cancers (SCLC, NSCLC, mesothelioma) were included.</p><p>To be included, observational studies had to have an objective measure of selenium status, such as serum, plasma, hair, nail, or lung tissue selenium levels, and had to examine risk of lung cancer either prospectively or be conducted in patients with lung cancer comparing selenium status to patients without cancer. Due to the high possibility for confounding, studies examining dietary intake were excluded. Preclinical studies had to be conducted in lung cancer models and had to examine either anticancer effects of selenocompounds, or their potential for interaction with conventional chemo- or radiation- therapy. Preclinical studies were categorized as “positive,” “negative,” “neutral,” or “mixed.” The term “positive” designates studies that found significant anticancer effects from at least one of the selenocompounds tested in models of lung cancer, alone or additively with other agents; “negative” designates studies that found no significant beneficial effect, nor any evidence of harm. In the absence of reported levels of significance, the authors' interpretation was used to guide classification. Studies examining surrogate markers were included only if the surrogate related directly to lung cancer risk or pathogenesis.</p><p>We piloted data extraction in duplicate to assess inter-researcher reliability. Upon completion of data extraction in duplicate for eighty percent of human level studies, there were no major inconsistencies, and further duplication of data extraction was found to be redundant.

Overall, relative risk of lung cancer for highest versus lowest selenium intake groups was 0.74 (95% CI 0.62–0.88) (p<0.01), with high defined as ≥100 ng/mL serum selenium or ≥55 mcg/d dietary intake <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0026259-Zhuo1">[8]</xref>. However, this effect was significant only in areas where population serum levels were also low, RR 0.72 (0.56–0.93) (p<0.01), and it disappeared in areas where population selenium levels were higher (>100 mcg/L or intake >55 mcg/d) RR 0.86 (0.65–1.15) <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0026259-Zhuo1">[8]</xref>.</p><p>The divergent effects reported between the NPC and SELECT trials may also be explained in the context of baseline selenium status. Authors of the SELECT trial noted: “the NPC trial was conducted in men chosen for deficient levels of selenium, and found that selenium was most preventive in the men with the lowest baseline selenium levels; SELECT men generally were replete in selenium at baseline, with median serum selenium levels of 135 ng/ml vs 113 ng/ml in NPC” <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0026259-Lippman1">[9]</xref>. It should be noted that according to the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III), average plasma selenium concentrations in the United States is 123+/−17 ng/mL <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0026259-Hu4">[76]</xref>, which places a large proportion of the US population in the high tertile according to NPC categorization.</p></sec><sec id="s4b"><title>Effect on Diabetes</title><p>The NPC trial reported a significantly increased risk of diabetes associated with selenium supplementation which was more pronounced among those with serum selenium >121.6 ng/mL <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0026259-Stranges1">[42]</xref>. Recent evidence drawn from large cohort studies such as the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) has corroborated such an association between higher selenium status and diabetes, adjusted OR 7.64 (95% CI 3.34–17.46) among subjects in the highest quartile of serum selenium status (≥147 mcg/L) compared to those in the lowest quartile (<124 mcg/L) <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0026259-Laclaustra1">[75]</xref>.</p><p>Estimates of optimal selenium intake including the Recommended Daily Allowance, currently set at 55 mcg for adults <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0026259-Abdulah1">[17]</xref>, are based on the dose inducing “saturation or maximization of GPx-1 activity” <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0026259-Vinceti1">[43]</xref>, however, several scientists have since urged reevaluation of these recommendations. It has been hypothesized that selenium may increase GPx (glutathione) activity as a “compensatory response to oxidative damage” <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0026259-Vinceti1">[43]</xref> induced by selenium itself rather than as a therapeutic effect. In other words, selenium in high doses may possess pro-oxidant activity. Induction of GPx-1 may also be a mechanism through which selenium exerts its potential diabetogenic effect, since transgenic animal models overexpressing GPx-1 have been reported to experience hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0026259-Vinceti1">[43]</xref>. In response to these findings, it has even been suggested that recommended selenium intakes be decreased to approximately 20mcg/d for organic selenium and less of inorganic forms <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0026259-Vinceti1">[43]</xref>.</p><p>Whether this recommendation can be generalized to patients receiving chemotherapy is uncertain. The uncertainty comes in light of the evidence suggesting that higher doses of selenium may benefit these patients via reductions in toxicity associated with cisplatin and radiation therapy. It is possible that higher levels of oxidative stress secondary to chemotherapy increase selenium requirements in these patients, as with other nutrients. In light of the current debate around the required amount of selenium in healthy individuals, however, it seems wise at present to limit long term, high dose selenium supplementation for the purposes of chemoprevention unless suboptimal selenium status has been established.</p></sec><sec id="s4c"><title>Measures of Selenium Status</title><p>An important question relates to how best to establish suboptimal selenium status <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0026259-Vinceti1">[43]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0026259-Mueller1">[77]</xref>. A 2009 systematic review of methods of selenium status assessment rated all the following markers as “useful” in assessing changes in selenium status that occur over a six week or greater period in response to supplementation: plasma, RBC, and whole-blood selenium, plasma selenoprotein P, and plasma, platelet, and whole-blood GPx acitivy <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0026259-Ashton1">[18]</xref>. Serum selenium has been the most common marker used in human supplementation trials, and this is expected to be similar to plasma values. It has been argued that tissue stores such as hair and toenail selenium are more reflective of body stores over a longer period of time compared to serum levels, which are more liable to change in response to fluctuating dietary patterns, acute illness, or other stressors. RBC selenium and whole-blood selenium are reportedly more stable and may act as markers of longer term status <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0026259-Ashton1">[18]</xref>.</p></sec><sec id="s4d"><title>Forms</title><p>The biological activity of selenium in the body depends in part on its chemical form. Selenium may exist bound as a salt (eg. sodium selenite); to an amino acid (eg. selenomethionine); or as methylated forms (eg. methylselenocysteine or Se-methyl-selenocysteine) <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0026259-Finley1">[78]</xref>. Selenomethionine can be converted to selenocysteine (SeCys) for use in selenoproteins; alternately, it can be used as a substitute for methionine in the synthesis of general proteins, potentially diverting it from its participation in anticancer pathways <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0026259-Ganther1">[79]</xref>. Inorganic salts are metabolized to selenide, which is then easily incorporated into selenoproteins such as SeCys. Finally, it has been suggested that methylated forms may be in large part responsible for selenium's anticarcinogenic effects <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0026259-Finley1">[78]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0026259-Jackson1">[80]</xref>. Methylated selenium such as methylselenol (CH3SeH) is formed in the selenium elimination pathway through methylation of the potentially more toxic compound dihydrogen selenide (H2Se) <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0026259-Ganther1">[79]</xref>. Alternately, methylselenol can be formed directly from the methylated selenoamino acids such as Se-methyl-selenocysteine concentrated by plant sources, such as garlic, broccoli, and certain Astragalus species, thus avoiding generation of H2Se <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0026259-Abdulah1">[17]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0026259-Vinceti1">[43]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0026259-Finley1">[78]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0026259-Ganther1">[79]</xref>. This may be of special relevance for individuals who have polymorphisms affecting the methylating abilities of the enzymes required for metabolizing H2Se: Ganther suggests that these individuals might “respond poorly to chemopreventive forms of Se such as inorganic salts or selenomethionine that are metabolized through the H2Se pool, but would likely show a response with Se compounds delivering Se in monomethylated forms” <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0026259-Ganther1">[79]</xref>.

Evidence from the NPC trial suggests that selenium supplementation may be of benefit in the prevention of cancer in those with low selenium status (serum selenium <106 ng/ml), while supplementation may increase risk of diabetes among subjects in the higher ranges of baseline selenium status. Selenium may reduce toxicities associated with cisplatin chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Further research is required to clarify optimal dosing strategies and risks associated with use. An important limitation of this systematic review is that while comprehensive it only provides an assessment of efficacy and risk regarding the use of selenium as an individual agent rather than as part of a combined therapeutic strategy for cancer chemoprevention. Pragmatic research in the context of integrative oncology that assesses for the use of selenium and other natural health products as prescribed and taken in real world settings is required to better evaluate the additional role selenium may have for lung cancer prevention and treatment.</p></sec></sec><sec sec-type="supplementary-material" id="s5"><title>Supporting Information</title><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="pone.0026259.s001"><label>Table S1</label><caption><p>ADR adriamycin; ETS environmental tobacco smoke; GPx glutathione peroxidase; KI kidney; LV liver; MSA methylseleninic acid; NNK nitrosamine 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone; NR not reported; pXSC 1,4,-phenylenebis (methylene) selenocyanate; RBC red blood cells; SeCys selenocysteine; SeMet selenomethionine; SeMeSC selenium methylselenocysteine; Se-yeast selenized yeast; MSCA 2- methyl-selenazolidine-4(R)-carboxylic acid; OSCA, 2- oxo-selenazolidine-4(R)-carboxylic acid SCA 2-unsubstituted-selenazolidine-4(R)-carboxylic acid ChSCA 2-cyclohexylselenazolidine-4-(R)-carboxylic acid Se-PBIT the selenium analog of S,S′-(1,4-phenylenebis[1,2-ethanediyl])bisisothiourea (PBIT).</p><p>(DOC)</p></caption><media xlink:href="pone.0026259.s001.doc" mimetype="application" mime-subtype="msword"><caption><p>Click here for additional data file.</p></caption></media></supplementary-material><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="pone.0026259.s002"><label>Table S2</label><caption><p>ATBC alpha tocopherol beta carotene trial; b/w between; CA cancer; CAD coronary artery disease; CARET carotene and retinol efficacy trial; comb combination; f/u follow up; GI gastrointestinal; LTFU loss to follow up; LuCa lung cancer; N/a not applicable; NR not reported; NSCLC non small cell lung cancer; pop population; PS performance score; pt patients; SCLC small cell lung cancer; SI smoking index (#cig/d xyr smoked); w with; yrs years.</p><p>(DOC)</p></caption><media xlink:href="pone.0026259.s002.doc" mimetype="application" mime-subtype="msword"><caption><p>Click here for additional data file.</p></caption></media></supplementary-material><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="pone.0026259.s003"><label>Table S3</label><caption><p>Adj adjusted; AOR adjusted odds ratio; CI confidence interval; HR hazard ratio; NMSC non melanoma skin cancer; NPC nutritional prevention of cancer trial; NR not reported; OR odds ratio; PrC prostate cancer; RBC red blood cell; RR relative risk; SELECT the selenium and vitamin E cancer prevention trial.</p><p>(DOC)</p></caption><media xlink:href="pone.0026259.s003.doc" mimetype="application" mime-subtype="msword"><caption><p>Click here for additional data file.</p></caption></media></supplementary-material><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="pone.0026259.s004"><label>Table S4</label><caption><p>(DOC)</p></caption><media xlink:href="pone.0026259.s004.doc" mimetype="application" mime-subtype="msword"><caption><p>Click here for additional data file.</p></caption></media></supplementary-material><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="pone.0026259.s005"><label>Table S5</label><caption><p>CHOP: combination chemotherapy treatment involving cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, prednisone and vincristine.
