Exogenous Selenoprotein V Induces Apoptosis in Murine Testicular Teratoma Cells via Mitochondrial Dysfunction and ROS Overproduction.

ABSTRACT: This study explores the effects of exogenous SELENOV on cellular migration, viability, mitochondrial function, ROS production, and Ca²⁺ signaling in mouse fibroblast L-929 and testicular teratoma F-9 cells. In scratch assays, 50-100 µg/mL SELENOV significantly inhibited F-9 cell migration after 48 h, while in L-929 fibroblasts, only 100 µg/mL had a suppressive effect. Viability assays revealed strong cytotoxicity in F-9 cells. Critically, at a dose of 50 µg/mL (where the corresponding volume of solvent buffer alone was non-toxic), SELENOV reduced survival to 19%, triggering late apoptosis in 76% of cells, whereas in L-929 cells, comparable effects required 100 µg/mL. Mitochondrial depolarization (JC-1/Rhodamine-123 assays) was pronounced in F-9 cells even at 50 µg/mL, while L-92
