“…These findings are in accordance with our previous results [ 11 , 24 , 25 , 50 ], where OSe compounds used preexisting ROS and expedited their reactions with redox-sensitive cellular compartments, leading to cellular malfunction and subsequently cell death [ 13 , 15 , 23 , 35 , 52 , 53 ]. Mechanistically, OSe compounds undergo oxidation at the Se center via ROS (e.g., H 2 O 2 ), followed by the recovery of the Se redox center by reduction with thiols [ 14 , 50 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 ]. The latter in this case might be part of the cysteine that presents in redox-sensitive proteins, enzymes, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), or actin.…”
