Both selenium and green tea have been shown to have potential antitumor effects. Here we have investigated the anticarcinogenic effect of the selenium-enriched green tea extract (Se-TE) in a Kunming mice model transplanted with human hepatoma cells HepG2. Mice were assigned to 8 groups consisting of 10 mice each after tumor cell inoculation. The control group received only water, whereas the remaining groups received regular green tea extract (RT), Se-TE which was produced by fertilization with selenite on tea leaves, selenite, and RT + selenite. After the mice were fed intragastrically with these agents for 8 days, tumor growth in RT-, Se-TE-, and selenite-fed mice was significantly suppressed, compared with that in control mice (P < 0.001). Supplementation with Se-TEs and selenite was able to elevate mice blood and liver Se concentrations, but did not significantly enhance selenoprotein glutathione peroxidase and other antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase activity in mice blood and liver. These results suggest that the antitumor function of Se-TEs may be attributed to the oxidative stress induced by selenium and green tea components in a suitable selenium supplementation pathway.
