초록

The relationship between selenium and signal molecules is not well elucidated yet. It was found that physiological concentration of selenite, less than 3 $\mu$M, reduced ASKl activity and induced of PI3-Kinase/Akt pathways in HT1080 cells. Duration of these signal molecules by selenite was much longer than that by growth factors and other stresses. The longer duration time of these signal molecules may be important to maintain normal functions against stresses.(omitted)
