Selenium depletion of H4 hepatoma cells reduced cytosolic glutathione peroxidase (cGSH-Px) mRNA abundance but had no effect on phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase (PHGSH-Px) mRNA abundance. Actinomycin D chase experiments showed that selenium depletion had no effect on the stability of PHGSH-Px mRNA but decreased the stability of cGSH-Px mRNA. In Se-replete cells puromycin decreased the stability of both cGSH-Px and PHGSH-Px mRNAs. The results suggest that when selenium supply is limiting PHGSH-Px mRNA translation is maintained more than that of cGSH-Px mRNA, and thus more cGSH-Px mRNA is released from polysomes and degraded.
