Abstract
Nutritional metal ions play critical roles in many important immune processes. Hence, the effective modulation of metal ions may open up new forms of immunotherapy, termed as metalloimmunotherapy. Here, we demonstrate a prototype of cancer metalloimmunotherapy using cyclic dinucleotide (CDN) stimulator of interferon genes (STING) agonists and Mn2+. We screened various metal ions and discovered specific metal ions augmented STING agonist activity, wherein Mn2+ promoted a 12- to 77-fold potentiation effect across the prevalent human STING haplotypes. Notably, Mn2+ coordinated with CDN STING agonists to self-assemble into a nanoparticle (CDN-Mn2+ particle, CMP) that effectively delivered STING agonists to immune cells. The CMP, administered either by local intratumoural or systemic intravenous injection, initiated robust anti-tumour immunity, achieving remarkable therapeutic efficacy with minute doses of STING agonists in multiple murine tumour models. Overall, the CMP offers a new platform for local and systemic cancer treatments, and this work underscores the great potential of coordination nanomedicine for metalloimmunotherapy.

Bailey LA, Boomhower SR. Potential implications of new information concerning manganese Ohio community health effects studies. Regul Toxicol Pharmacol 2021; 127:105069. [PMID: 34718075 DOI: 10.1016/j.yrtph.2021.105069] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2021] [Revised: 10/12/2021] [Accepted: 10/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Several epidemiology studies have been conducted in Ohio communities where industrial facilities with manganese emissions are located. New information not addressed in the published papers for this research has been disclosed by U.S. federal agencies pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act. This paper describes the newly available information, presents statistical analyses of the new summary data, and explores how this information potentially impacts the conclusions of the published research. Based on a statistical analysis of the newly available data, we found very few, and no consistent, statistical differences for various illnesses, self-reported symptoms, and neuropsychological/neuromotor test results between one community with a manganese emission source and a control town that were part of the initial research. Further, we determined that the distribution of total suspended particulate manganese air concentrations did not correlate with the distribution of the more biologically relevant respirable manganese concentrations when data from two communities with potential manganese emissions were combined. These results are important, particularly in determining whether the studies should influence regulatory reference values related to manganese. We recommend that the full health effects data set associated with the published research be made available and re-evaluated to address the issues identified in this paper.

Abstract
The ability of bacterial pathogens to acquire essential micronutrients is critical for their survival in the host environment. Manganese plays a complex role in the virulence of a variety of pathogens due to its function as an antioxidant and enzymatic cofactor. Therefore, host cells deprive pathogens of manganese to prevent or attenuate infection. Here, we show that evolution of the human-restricted pathogen Bordetella pertussis has selected for an inhibitory duplication within a manganese exporter of the calcium:cation antiporter superfamily. Intriguingly, upon exposure to toxic levels of manganese, the nonfunctional exporter becomes operative in resister cells due to a unique reverse adaptation mechanism. However, compared with wild-type (wt) cells, the resisters carrying a functional copy of the exporter displayed strongly reduced intracellular levels of manganese and impaired growth under oxidative stress. Apparently, inactivation of the manganese exporter and the resulting accumulation of manganese in the cytosol benefited the pathogen by improving its survival under stress conditions. The inhibitory duplication within the exporter gene is highly conserved among B. pertussis strains, absent from all other Bordetella species and from a vast majority of organisms across all kingdoms of life. Therefore, we conclude that inactivation of the exporter gene represents an exceptional example of a flexible genome decay strategy employed by a human pathogen to adapt to its exclusive host.

Abstract
The present study investigated the individual and collective effect of organochlorinated fungicide hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and manganese (Mn), a metal, on the hepatorenal function in adult rats. Rats were divided into four groups of rats comprising of control, HCB alone (15 mg/kg), Mn alone (10 mg/kg) and co-exposure group that were orally treated for 25 consecutive days. After sacrifice, hepatorenal damage and antioxidant status markers, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, levels of nitric oxide, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total oxidative stress (TOS) and lipid peroxidation (LPO) were analyzed spectrophotometrically. Levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1 β (IL-1β) and caspase-3 activity were assessed using ELISA. Results revealed that the HCB administration significantly (p < 0.05) increased the biomarkers of hepatorenal toxicity, decreased the antioxidant status and TAC, raised the levels of TOS and LPO as well as increased the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and caspase-3 activity. Rats co-exposed to HCB and Mn showed decreased biomarkers of hepatorenal damage, increased antioxidant status and TAC with simultaneous reduction in the levels of TOS and LPO significantly (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the increased levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and caspase-3 activity were significantly (p < 0.05) reduced in the liver and kidney of rats' co-expose to HCB and Mn. Histological examination showed that damages induced by HCB were assuaged in rats co-treated with HCB and Mn. In conclusion, the results demonstrated that co-treatment of HCB and Mn in rats' alleviated HCB-induced oxidative stress, inflammation and caspase-3 activation in the liver and kidney of the rats.

Abstract
Four halophytic plants, Lycium shawii, Anabasis articulata, Rumex vesicarius, and Zilla spinosa, growing in the central Qassim area, Saudi Arabia, were phytochemically and biologically investigated. Their hydroalcoholic extracts’ UPLC-ESIQ-TOF analyses demonstrated the presence of 44 compounds of phenolic acids, flavonoids, saponins, carbohydrates, and fatty acids chemical classes. Among all the plants’ extracts, L. shawii showed the highest quantities of total phenolics, and flavonoids contents (52.72 and 13.01 mg/gm of the gallic acid and quercetin equivalents, respectively), along with the antioxidant activity in the TAA (total antioxidant activity), FRAP (ferric reducing antioxidant power), and DPPH-SA (2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-scavenging activity) assays with 25.6, 56.68, and 19.76 mg/gm, respectively, as Trolox equivalents. The hydroalcoholic extract of the L. shawii also demonstrated the best chelating activity at 21.84 mg/gm EDTA equivalents. Among all the four halophytes, the hydroalcoholic extract of L. shawii exhibited the highest antiproliferative activity against MCF7 and K562 cell lines with IC50 values at 194.5 µg/mL and 464.9 µg/mL, respectively. The hydroalcoholic extract of A. articulata demonstrated better cytotoxic activity amongst all the tested plants’ extracts against the human pancreatic cancer cell lines (PANC1) with an IC50 value of 998.5 µg/mL. The L. shawii induced apoptosis in the MCF7 cell lines, and the percentage of the necrotic cells changed to 28.1% and 36.5% for the IC50 and double-IC50 values at 22.9% compared with the untreated groups. The hydroalcoholic extract of L. shawii showed substantial antibacterial activity against Bacillus cereus ATCC 10876 with a MIC value of 12.5 mg/mL. By contrast, the A. articulata and Z. spinosa exhibited antifungal activities against Aspergillus niger ATCC 6275 with MIC values at 12.5 and 50 mg/mL, respectively. These findings suggested that the L. shawii is a potential halophyte with remarkable biological properties, attributed to its contents of phenolics and flavonoid classes of compounds in its extract.

Abstract
Fuel additive methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT) is counted as an organic manganese (Mn)-derived compound. The toxic effects of Mn (alone and complexed) on dopaminergic (DA) neurotransmission have been investigated in both cellular and animal models. However, the impact of environmentally relevant Mn exposure on DA neurodevelopment is rather poorly understood. In the present study, the MMT dose of 100 μM (about 5 mg Mn/L) caused up-regulation of DA-related genes in association with cell body swelling and increase in the number of DA neurons of the ventral diencephalon subpopulation DC2. Furthermore, our analysis identified significant brain Mn bioaccumulation and enhancement of total dopamine levels in association with locomotor hyperactivity. Although DA levels were restored at adulthood, we observed a deficit in the acquisition and consolidation of memory. Collectively, these findings suggest that developmental exposure to low-level MMT-derived Mn is responsible for the selective alteration of diencephalic DA neurons and with long-lasting effects on fish explorative behaviour in adulthood.

Abstract
Presently, there is a high demand for nutritionally enhanced foods, so it is a current challenge to look at new raw food sources that can supplement beneficially the human diet. The nutritional profile and key secondary metabolites of red seaweeds (Rhodophyta) are gaining interest because of this challenge. In this context, the possible use of the red seaweed Chondracanthus teedei var. lusitanicus (Gigartinales) as a novel nutraceutical source was investigated. As a result, we highlight the high mineral content of this seaweed, representing 29.35 g 100 g−1 of its dry weight (DW). Despite the low levels of calcium and phosphorus (0.26 and 0.20 g 100 g−1 DW, respectively), this seaweed is an interesting source of nitrogen and potassium (2.13 and 2.29 g−1 DW, accordingly). Furthermore, the high content of carbohydrates (56.03 g 100 g−1 DW), which acts as dietary fibers, confers a low caloric content of this raw food source. Thus, this study demonstrates that C. teedei var. lusitanicus is in fact an unexploited potential resource with the capability to provide key minerals to the human diet with promising nutraceutical properties.

Abstract
Although manganese (Mn) is an essential trace element, overexposure is associated with Mn-induced toxicity and neurological dysfunction. Even though Mn-induced oxidative stress is discussed extensively, neither the underlying mechanisms of the potential consequences of Mn-induced oxidative stress on DNA damage and DNA repair, nor the possibly resulting toxicity are characterized yet. In this study, we use the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans to investigate the mode of action of Mn toxicity, focusing on genomic integrity by means of DNA damage and DNA damage response. Experiments were conducted to analyze Mn bioavailability, lethality, and induction of DNA damage. Different deletion mutant strains were then used to investigate the role of base excision repair (BER) and dePARylation (DNA damage response) proteins in Mn-induced toxicity. The results indicate a dose- and time-dependent uptake of Mn, resulting in increased lethality. Excessive exposure to Mn decreases genomic integrity and activates BER. Altogether, this study characterizes the consequences of Mn exposure on genomic integrity and therefore broadens the molecular understanding of pathways underlying Mn-induced toxicity. Additionally, studying the basal poly(ADP-ribosylation) (PARylation) of worms lacking poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) parg-1 or parg-2 (two orthologue of PARG), indicates that parg-1 accounts for most of the glycohydrolase activity in worms.

Abstract
PURPOSE Rice is a staple food for over 3.5 billion people worldwide. The nutritional content of rice varies with different post-harvest processing techniques. Major varieties include brown rice (BR), white rice (WR) and parboiled rice (PBR). While consumption of BR is advocated due to its higher nutritional content compared to other varieties, some studies have indicated lower post-prandial blood glucose (PPBG) levels when PBR is consumed. This apparent benefit of PBR consumption is not well publicised and no commentaries on underlying mechanisms are available in literature. METHODS In this review, we looked into differential nutrient content of PBR, as compared to BR and WR, and tried to understand how their consumption could be associated with glycaemic control. Various roles played by these nutrients in mechanisms of insulin secretion, insulin resistance, nutrient absorption and T2DM-associated inflammation were reviewed from literature-based evidence. RESULTS We report differential nutritional factors in PBR, with respect to BR (and WR), such as higher calcium and selenium content, lower phytic acids, and enriched vitamin B6 which might aid PBR's ability to provide better glycaemic control than BR. CONCLUSION Our interpretation of reviewed literature leads us to suggest the possible benefits of PBR consumption in glycaemic control and its inclusion as the preferred rice variant in diets of T2DM patients and at-risk individuals.

Abstract
The heavy metals lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), and cadmium (Cd) are ubiquitous environmental pollutants and are known to exert severe adverse impacts on the nervous system even at low concentrations. In contrast, the heavy metal manganese (Mn) is first and foremost an essential nutrient, but it becomes neurotoxic at high levels. Neurotoxic metals also include the less prevalent metalloid arsenic (As) which is found in excessive concentrations in drinking water and food sources in many regions of the world. Males and females often differ in how they respond to environmental exposures and adverse effects on their nervous systems are no exception. Here, we review the different types of sex-specific neurotoxic effects, such as cognitive and motor impairments, that have been attributed to Pb, Hg, Mn, Cd, and As exposure throughout the life course in epidemiological as well as in experimental toxicological studies. We also discuss differential vulnerability to these metals such as distinctions in behaviors and occupations across the sexes. Finally, we explore the different mechanisms hypothesized to account for sex-based differential susceptibility including hormonal, genetic, metabolic, anatomical, neurochemical, and epigenetic perturbations. An understanding of the sex-specific effects of environmental heavy metal neurotoxicity can aid in the development of more efficient systematic approaches in risk assessment and better exposure mitigation strategies with regard to sex-linked susceptibilities and vulnerabilities.

Simple Summary Our aim is to introduce the mineral nutrition of fish and explain the complexity of determining requirements for these elements, which are absorbed and excreted by the fish into the surrounding water. To date, only the requirements for nine minerals have been investigated. The review is focused on the absorption and the dietary factors that reduce their absorption from feed ingredients of plant and animal origin. Some diseases, such as cataracts, anemia and bone deformity, have been linked to dietary deficiency of minerals. Abstract Aquatic animals have unique physiological mechanisms to absorb and retain minerals from their diets and water. Research and development in the area of mineral nutrition of farmed fish and crustaceans have been relatively slow and major gaps exist in the knowledge of trace element requirements, physiological functions and bioavailability from feed ingredients. Quantitative dietary requirements have been reported for three macroelements (calcium, phosphorus and magnesium) and six trace minerals (zinc, iron, copper, manganese, iodine and selenium) for selected fish species. Mineral deficiency signs in fish include reduced bone mineralization, anorexia, lens cataracts (zinc), skeletal deformities (phosphorus, magnesium, zinc), fin erosion (copper, zinc), nephrocalcinosis (magnesium deficiency, selenium toxicity), thyroid hyperplasia (iodine), muscular dystrophy (selenium) and hypochromic microcytic anemia (iron). An excessive intake of minerals from either diet or gill uptake causes toxicity and therefore a fine balance between mineral deficiency and toxicity is vital for aquatic organisms to maintain their homeostasis, either through increased absorption or excretion. Release of minerals from uneaten or undigested feed and from urinary excretion can cause eutrophication of natural waters, which requires additional consideration in feed formulation. The current knowledge in mineral nutrition of fish is briefly reviewed.

Abstract
Mixed pollution due to heavy metals (HMs), especially cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and arsenic (As), seriously endangers the safety of food produced in paddy soil. In the field experiments, foliar application of 2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) at the flowering stage was found to significantly reduce the levels of Cd, Pb, total As, and inorganic As (iAs) in rice grains by 47.95%, 61.76%, 36.37%, and 51.24%, respectively, without affecting the concentration of metallonutrients, including Mn, K, Mg, Ca, Fe, and Zn. DMSA treatment significantly reduced the concentrations of Cd, Pb, and As in the panicle node, panicle neck, and rachis, while those in the flag leaves were significantly increased by up to 20.87%, 49.40%, and 32.67%, respectively. DMSA application promoted the transport of HM from roots and lower stalks to flag leaves with a maximum increase of 34.55%, 52.65%, and 46.94%, respectively, whereas inhibited the transport of HM from flag leaves to panicle, rachis, and grains. Therefore, foliar application of DMSA reduced Cd, Pb, and As accumulation in rice grains by immobilizing HMs in flag leaves. Thus, this strategy could act as a promising agronomic measure for the remediation of mixed HM contamination in paddy fields.

Combine and conquer: manganese synergizing anti-TGF-β/PD-L1 bispecific antibody YM101 to overcome immunotherapy resistance in non-inflamed cancers. J Hematol Oncol 2021; 14:146. [PMID: 34526097 PMCID: PMC8442312 DOI: 10.1186/s13045-021-01155-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 74] [Impact Index Per Article: 24.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2021] [Accepted: 08/30/2021] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Our previous work showed that the anti-TGF-β/PD-L1 bispecific antibody YM101 effectively overcame anti-PD-L1 resistance in immune-excluded tumor models. However, in immune-desert models, the efficacy of YM101 was limited. Bivalent manganese (Mn2+) is identified as a natural stimulator of interferon genes (STING) agonist, which might enhance cancer antigen presentation and improve the therapeutic effect of YM101. METHODS The effect of Mn2+ on STING pathway was validated by western blotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Dendritic cell (DC) maturation was measured by flow cytometry. The synergistic effect between Mn2+ and YM101 in vitro was determined by one-way mixed lymphocyte reaction, CFSE dilution assay, and cytokine detection. The in vivo antitumor effect of Mn2+ plus YM101 therapy was assessed in CT26, EMT-6, H22, and B16 tumor models. Flow cytometry, RNA-seq, and immunofluorescent staining were adopted to investigate the alterations in the tumor microenvironment. RESULTS Mn2+ could activate STING pathway and promote the maturation of human and murine DC. The results of one-way mixed lymphocyte reaction showed that Mn2+ synergized YM101 in T cell activation. Moreover, in multiple syngeneic murine tumor models, Mn2+ plus YM101 therapy exhibited a durable antitumor effect and prolonged the survival of tumor-bearing mice. Relative to YM101 monotherapy and Mn2+ plus anti-PD-L1 therapy, Mn2+ plus YM101 treatment had a more powerful antitumor effect and a broader antitumor spectrum. Mechanistically, Mn2+ plus YM101 strategy simultaneously regulated multiple components in the antitumor immunity and drove the shift from immune-excluded or immune-desert to immune-inflamed tumors. The investigation in the TME indicated Mn2+ plus YM101 strategy activated innate and adaptive immunity, enhanced cancer antigen presentation, and upregulated the density and function of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. This normalized TME and reinvigorated antitumor immunity contributed to the superior antitumor effect of the combination therapy. CONCLUSION Combining Mn2+ with YM101 has a synergistic antitumor effect, effectively controlling tumor growth and prolonging the survival of tumor-bearing mice. This novel cocktail strategy has the potential to be a universal regimen for inflamed and non-inflamed tumors.

Evaluation of the molecular response of corpora lutea to manganese-amino acid complex supplementation in gilts. J Anim Sci 2021; 99:6353575. [PMID: 34402900 PMCID: PMC8438545 DOI: 10.1093/jas/skab245] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2021] [Accepted: 08/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Porcine pregnancy establishment and maintenance are dependent on the formation of functional corpora lutea (CL). Manganese (Mn) is critical for CL function as it is a cofactor for Mn superoxide dismutase and enzymes involved in cholesterol synthesis. Previously, we have shown that luteal Mn content increased and luteal progesterone (P4) concentration decreased in the CL of gilts fed diets supplemented with an Mn–amino acid complex (Availa-Mn; Zinpro Corporation) compared with controls fed Mn sulfate. Importantly, serum P4 increased from 0 (estrus onset) to 12 d post estrus (dpe), as expected, but P4 abundance in circulation was not affected by dietary Mn source (P = 0.15). We hypothesized that a more bioavailable Mn source (which results in increased luteal Mn content) would alter the luteal proteome and abundance of mRNA associated with steroid biogenesis during the mid-luteal phase of the estrous cycle. Postpubertal gilts (n = 32) were assigned to one of the four gestation diets. The control diet (CON) contained 20 ppm of supplemental Mn in the form of Mn sulfate. Three additional diets included 20 (TRT1), 40 (TRT2), or 60 (TRT3) ppm of supplemental Mn in the form of a Mn–amino acid complex instead of Mn sulfate. Dietary treatment began at estrus synchronization (approximately 20 d before estrus) and continued through 12 dpe when gilts were euthanized and tissues were collected. Protein and total RNA extracts from the CL were used for proteomic analysis via label-free liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry to assess global protein abundance and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) to assess specific mRNA abundance, respectively. Compared with CON, 188, 382, and 401 proteins were differentially abundant (P < 0.10) in TRT1, TRT2, and TRT3, respectively. Gene Ontology enrichment software revealed that proteins involved in P4 signaling and cholesterol synthesis were downregulated in CL of gilts fed Mn–amino acid complex compared with controls. Quantitative RT-PCR showed that relative transcript abundance of genes encoding steroidogenic enzymes (CYP11A1 and StAR) in CL tissue was decreased in gilts from TRT2 compared with CON (P = 0.02), but TRT1 and TRT3 were not affected (P ≥ 0.30). Collectively, these data support our hypothesis that a more bioavailable dietary Mn source may influence luteal function by altering the abundance of protein and mRNA involved in steroidogenesis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Understanding the neurodevelopmental effects of manganese (Mn) is complicated due to its essentiality for growth and development. While evidence exists for the harmful effects of excess Mn, pediatric epidemiologic studies have observed inconsistent associations between Mn and child cognition. OBJECTIVE We sought to estimate prospective associations between Mn measured in three different early-life time windows with adolescent cognition using deciduous teeth biomarkers. METHODS Deciduous teeth were collected from 195 participants (ages 10-14 years) of the Public Health Impact of Manganese Exposure (PHIME) study in Brescia, Italy. Measurements of tooth Mn represented prenatal (∼14 weeks gestation - birth), early postnatal (birth - 1.5 years) and childhood (∼1.5 - 6 years) time windows. Neuropsychologists administered the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, 3rd edition (WISC-III), to obtain composite IQ and subtest scores. Associations between tooth Mn at each time window and adolescent WISC-III scores were estimated using multivariable linear regression. We tested differences in associations between Mn and outcomes across time windows using multiple informant models. Sex-specific associations were explored in stratified models. RESULTS Adjusted associations between tooth Mn and composite IQ scores were positive in the prenatal period and negative in the childhood period. Associations were strongest for subtest scores that reflect working memory, problem solving, visuospatial ability and attention: prenatal Mn was positively associated with Digits backward [SD change in score per interquartile range increase in Mn: β = 0.20 (95 % CI: 0.02, 0.38)] and Block design [β = 0.21 (0.01, 0.41)] and early postnatal Mn was positively associated with Digits forward [β = 0.24 (0.09, 0.40)], while childhood Mn was negatively associated with Coding [β = -0.14 (-0.28, -0.001)]. Sex-stratified analyses suggested different Mn-cognition associations for boys and girls and was also dependent on the time window of exposure. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that exposure timing is critical when evaluating Mn associations between Mn and cognition. Higher prenatal Mn was beneficial for adolescent cognition; however, these beneficial associations shifted towards harmful effects in later time windows. Cognitive domains most sensitive to Mn across time windows included visuospatial ability, working memory, attention and problem-solving.

Sodium P-aminosalicylic Acid Inhibits Manganese-Induced Neuroinflammation in BV2 Microglial Cells via NLRP3-CASP1 Inflammasome Pathway. Biol Trace Elem Res 2021; 199:3423-3432.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium p-aminosalicylic acid (PAS-Na) was reported to exhibit anti-inflammatory effect in the nervous system. However, the mechanism by which PAS-Na exhibits anti-inflammatory effects on manganese (Mn)-stimulated BV2 microglia cells remains unclear. Thus, this study investigated the role of PAS-Na in Mn-stimulated BV2 microglial cells. METHODS Microglia-like BV2 were treated with MnCl2 with or without the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug PAS-Na for 12 or 24 h to examine cell viability using MTT; for 24 or 48 h to examine levels of NLRP3, CASP1, IL-1β, and IL-18 mRNA using Real-Time quantitative PCR; for 48 h to examine levels of NLRP3 and CASP1 inflammasomes, measured by western blot analysis; and for 48 h to examine levels of inflammatory cytokines, measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS The MTT assay showed that PAS-Na produced significant neuroprotective effect by preventing Mn-induced inflammation in BV2 microglial cells. PAS-Na significantly concentration and time dependently inhibited Mn-induced production of NLRP3, CASP1, IL-1β, and IL-18. CONCLUSION Taken together, our results suggest that PAS-Na exerts anti-inflammatory effects in Mn-stimulated BV2 microglial cells via downregulation of NLRP3, CASP1, IL-1β, and I L-18. Furthermore, a high concentration and prolonged PAS-Na treatment appear necessary for its therapeutic efficacy. Taken together, we conclude that PAS-Na affords therapeutic efficacy in mitigating neurological conditions associated with neuroinflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Hepatic steatosis is the most common histopathological finding on liver biopsy, with the most prevalent etiology being NAFLD. The pathogenesis of hepatic steatosis and NAFLD is multifactorial, however, studies on the importance of manganese in NAFLD are limited. We aimed to study hepatic manganese content, and other trace elements, in relation to hepatic steatosis in patients with chronic liver diseases of different etiology, mainly NAFLD. METHODS Patients with chronically elevated liver function tests underwent a diagnostic work-up, including routine blood tests and two liver biopsies. One of the biopsies was sent for histopathological evaluation, and the other for ultra-trace elemental determinations. Steatosis was graded using conventional histopathological methodology, and fat content was also quantitated in biopsy samples by measuring the steatotic area of the section using stereological point counting (SPC). Ultra-trace elemental analysis was utilized for determining manganese, iron, and copper using inductively coupled plasma sector field mass spectrometry (ICP-SFMS). RESULTS 76 patients were included in the study. Hepatic manganese concentrations in patients with steatosis were lower than in patients without hepatic steatosis (3.8 ± 1.1 vs. 6.4 ± 1.8, P < 0.001). Similar results were seen for blood manganese levels and hepatic steatosis. We found a strong inverse correlation between steatosis grade and hepatic manganese content (ρ=-0.743, P < 0.001). Also, low levels of manganese independently predicted the presence of steatosis (aOR 0.07 [95%CI: 0.01-0.63]). CONCLUSION Patients with NAFLD, or other CLD and concomitant hepatic steatosis, showed lower levels of hepatic manganese content with increasing grade of steatosis.

Abstract
Manganese (Mn) is a relatively common element in aquatic ecosystems and can be bio-concentration, but the mechanism of manganese poisoning on fish health is unclear. Here, this study's objective was to evaluate the potential mechanisms of bioflocs in ameliorating Mn-induced toxicity in Channa asiatica. Three hundred sixty juveniles were randomly divided into 12 tanks. Four C:N ratios in triplicate tanks were tried: C/N = 7.6:1 with a commercial diet (control), C/N 10:1, C/N 15:1 and C/N 20:1, and the bio-accumulation, immunotoxic, oxidative stress, GR-NF-κB related genes expression and intestinal histomorphology were assessed in three different periods after Mn exposure (0 h, 48 h and 96 h). The results showed that bioflocs had a significant protective effect on Mn poisoning by preventing alterations in bio-accumulation levels, LSZ, AKP, C3, C4 and IgM, of which the C/N 15:1 group had the best relief effect. Furthermore, bioflocs also assisted in the recovery of liver T-SOD, CAT, GPX and T-AOC levels while decreasing the content of MDA. Moreover, C/N 15:1 group significantly down-regulated the expression level of NF-κB, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-8 and up-regulated significantly IκBα, GR, HSP70 and HSP90 expression levels considerably (P < 0.05). From the intestinal section, the C/N 15:1 group resistance was the best one, and there was no difference between C/N 20:1 group and control group. These results revealed that administration of bioflocs (C/N 15:1) has the potential to combat Mn toxicity in C. asiatica, and the specific pathway may be GR-NF-κB.

Abstract
Metals such as iron, manganese, copper, and zinc are recognized as essential trace elements. These trace metals play critical roles in development, growth, and metabolism, participating in various metabolic processes by acting as cofactors of enzymes or providing structural support to proteins. Deficiency or toxicity of these metals can impact human and animal health, giving rise to a number of metabolic and neurological disorders. Proper breakdown, absorption, and elimination of these trace metals is a tightly regulated process that requires crosstalk between the host and these micronutrients. The gut is a complex system that serves as the interface between these components, but other factors that contribute to this delicate interaction are not well understood. The gut is home to trillions of microorganisms and microbial genes (the gut microbiome) that can regulate the metabolism and transport of micronutrients and contribute to the bioavailability of trace metals through their assimilation from food sources or by competing with the host. Furthermore, deficiency or toxicity of these metals can modulate the gut microenvironment, including microbiota, nutrient availability, stress, and immunity. Thus, understanding the role of the gut microbiota in the metabolism of manganese, iron, copper, and zinc, as well as in heavy metal deficiencies and toxicities, and vice versa, may provide insight into developing improved or alternative therapeutic strategies to address emerging health concerns. This review describes the current understanding of how the gut microbiome and trace metals interact and affect host health, particularly in pigs.

Abstract
Safe drinking water is directly linked to good human health. An excessive amount of manganese (Mn) in drinking water supplies causes people show symptoms of neurotoxicity. In this study, the level of Mn in potable water sourced from tube wells located in 9 (nine) districts of Bangladesh was monitored. In total, 170 (one hundred and seventy) water samples were collected and Mn was quantified by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The levels of Mn found in the tube well water samples of Sirajganj, Meherpur, Chuadanga, Jhenaidah, Magura, Faridpur, Jashore, Satkhira, and Khulna were 0.37-1.86, 0.10-4.11, 0.30-0.76, 0.26-0.94, 0.01-0.18, 0.21-1.78, 0.08-1.23, 0.05-0.27, and 0.01-2.11 mg/L, respectively. Results revealed that Mn level was beyond the highest contaminated levels of 0.1 mg/L and 0.4 mg/L, which are recommended by Bangladesh Drinking Standard (BDS) and World Health Organization (WHO), respectively. The maximum Mn contaminated level reached up to 4.11 mg/L (mean, 0.53 mg/L). The Mn level in tube well water exceeded 51.1% and 75.9% set by the recommended value of WHO and BDS, respectively. Furthermore, the calculated hazard quotient (HQ) value for Mn was observed to be greater than unity, indicating both children and adults risked potential non-carcinogenic health issues. The water supply authorities should take steps to provide Mn-free drinking water for communities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to establish reference intervals for Mn in whole blood, plasma and serum of healthy, adult warmblood horses with known dietary Mn intake and to compare 2 methods of analysis. MATERIAL AND METHODS Between May 2018 and November 2019 a single blood sample was taken from a total of 270 clinically healthy horses (age: 3-25 years) in 3 stud farms. In lithium-heparin (LH) whole blood, LH plasma and serum Mn concentrations were analyzed by means of atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The reference intervals were calculated according to the recommendations of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) and the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) comprising the range between 2.5 and 97.5 percentile of the analyzed Mn concentrations. Concurrent to blood sampling feed samples were taken and analyzed in order to determine the Mn content of the corresponding feeding ration. RESULTS The horses' whole-blood Mn levels were significantly (p < 0.0001) higher with a median Mn concentration of 12.4 μg/l (reference interval: 4.99-25.1 μg/l [AAS]; 5.99-25.3 μg/l [ICP-MS]) than in the corresponding serum (median: 1.65 μg/l, reference interval: 0.60-3.50 μg/l [AAS]; 1.11-2.96 μg/l [ICP-MS]) or LH plasma (median: 1.35 μg/l, reference interval: 0.22-2.68 μg/l [AAS]; 0.59-2.45 μg/l [ICP-MS]). In the comparison of methods, there were statistically significant differences in the Mn determinations for LH plasma and serum between AAS and ICP-MS, whereas they yielded comparable results for whole blood. CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Whole blood shows an average of 10-fold higher Mn concentrations than serum or LH plasma. When evaluating blood Mn concentrations, consideration must be granted to the sample material under analysis as well as to which method is employed since relevant differences were found between AAS and ICP-MS in serum and LH plasma.

Abstract
Diethylenetriaminepentaacetate (DTPA) is the most widely used chelating agent for Pu and Am. Volunteers were assigned to receive intravenous injections or aerosol inhalations of 1 g of DTPA on days 1-4; volunteers received once daily injections of CaDTPA or ZnDTPA, CaDTPA inhalation as an aerosol, or CaDTPA injection on day 1 and ZnDTPA on days 2-4. CaDTPA injection or inhalation increased the excretion rates of Zn in urine with concomitantly reduced levels of serum Zn. Injection of CaDTPA reduced activities of serum alkaline phosphatase (AP) in parallel with the kinetics of Zn, whereas CaDTPA and ZnDTPA injection reduced activities of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and reduced activities of creatinine kinase (CK) were observed upon CaDTPA injection and its inhalation. Intravenous administration of CaDTPA and ZnDTPA enhanced excretion rates of Mn in urine, whereas transient reduction of Mn levels in serum was detected only via CaDTPA injection. Both CaDTPA and ZnDTPA transiently reduced levels of Mg in serum without affecting the excretion rates. On the other hand, both DTPAs increased excretion rates of toxic metals such as Pb and Cd, and CaDTPA also increased the rates of Hg. These results suggest that DTPA, and especially CaDTPA, removes essential metals and that the activities of these metalloenzymes are good indicators for the imbalance of essential metals during the DTPA administration. Our results also show that CaDTPA injection is more potent for removing these metals than ZnDTPA and inhalation of CaDTPA, and DTPA may be useful for the treatment of acute heavy metal poisoning with Pb, Cd, or Hg.

Abstract
Inherited autosomal recessive mutations of the manganese (Mn) transporter gene SLC39A14 in humans, results in elevated blood and brain Mn concentrations and childhood-onset dystonia-parkinsonism. The pathophysiology of this disease is unknown, but the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system of the basal ganglia has been implicated. Here, we describe pathophysiological studies in Slc39a14-knockout (KO) mice as a preclinical model of dystonia-parkinsonism in SLC39A14 mutation carriers. Blood and brain metal concentrations in Slc39a14-KO mice exhibited a pattern similar to the human disease with highly elevated Mn concentrations. We observed an early-onset backward-walking behavior at postnatal day (PN) 21 which was also noted in PN60 Slc39a14-KO mice as well as dystonia-like movements. Locomotor activity and motor coordination were also impaired in Slc39a14-KO relative to wildtype (WT) mice. From a neurochemical perspective, striatal dopamine (DA) and metabolite concentrations and their ratio in Slc39a14-KO mice did not differ from WT. Striatal tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) immunohistochemistry did not change in Slc39a14-KO mice relative to WT. Unbiased stereological cell quantification of TH-positive and Nissl-stained estimated neuron number, neuron density, and soma volume in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) was the same in Slc39a14-KO mice as in WT. However, we measured a marked inhibition (85-90%) of potassium-stimulated DA release in the striatum of Slc39a14-KO mice relative to WT. Our findings indicate that the dystonia-parkinsonism observed in this genetic animal model of the human disease is associated with a dysfunctional but structurally intact nigrostriatal dopaminergic system. The presynaptic deficit in DA release is unlikely to explain the totality of the behavioral phenotype and points to the involvement of other neuronal systems and brain regions in the pathophysiology of the disease.

Abstract
Manganese (Mn) is an essential trace element for humans, but long-term environmental or occupational exposures can lead to numerous health problems. Although many studies have identified an association between Mn exposures and neurological abnormalities, emerging data suggest that occupationally and environmentally relevant levels of Mn may also be linked to multiple organ dysfunction in the general population. In this regard, many experimental and clinical studies provide support for a causal link between Mn exposure and structural and functional changes that are responsible for organ dysfunction in major organs like lung, liver, and kidney. The underlying mechanisms suggested to Mn toxicity include altered activities of the components of intracellular signaling cascades, oxidative stress, apoptosis, affected cell cycle regulation, autophagy, angiogenesis, and an inflammatory response. We further discussed the sources and possible mechanisms of Mn absorption and distribution in different organs. Finally, treatment strategies available for treating Mn toxicity as well as directions for future studies were discussed.

Abstract
Porous media are widely adopted as immobilization sorbents in environmental engineering. The microscale difference in pore structure formation causes significant deflection in a vast landscape. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) offers a comparative approach to evaluate the individual influence from pore structure formation with strictly controlled surface and volume properties. This paper presents a comprehensive comparison between the performance of cylindrical media and spherical-media in heavy metal immobilization. Digital testing was performed to measure the surface area, specific surface area, density and porosity. Image-based input technique was developed to reconstruct the cylindrical media. It was found that although the surface area, specific surface area and porosity were the same, the spherical media still had an accelerated immobilization rate. Results further showed that the spherical media in floatation arrangement had an immobilization rate of 16% higher than the cylindrical media with the same surface properties. Non-floatation arrangement of the spherical media caused a reduction in immobilization capacity up to 32.8% lower than the cylindrical media. The cylindrical media demonstrated an advantage of being structurally stable under high porosity, the latter of which resulted in an increased immobilization capacity compared with the spherical-media. The results suggest that the cylindrical bio-microstructure is desirable for heavy metal immobilization in a non-flotational environment. The computational approach provides a digital solution to evaluate the immobilization in 3D architected media. The proposed testing methods are feasible for both experimentally obtained images and structures from algorithm-generation.

Abstract
Manganese (Mn), even though an essential trace element, causes neurotoxicity in excess. In adults, over-exposure to Mn causes clinical manifestations, including dystonia, progressive bradykinesia, disturbance of gait, slurring, and stuttering of speech. These symptoms are mainly because of Mn-associated oxidative stress and degeneration of dopamine neurons in the central nervous system. Children with excessive Mn exposure often show learning disabilities but rarely show symptoms associated with dopaminergic neuron dysfunction. It is unclear why Mn exposure shows distinctive clinical outcomes in developing brains versus adult brains. Studies on nematode C. elegans have demonstrated that it is an excellent model to elucidate Mn-associated toxicity in the nervous system. In this study, we chronically exposed Mn to L1 larval stage of the worms to understand the effects on dopamine neurons and cognitive development. The worms showed modified behavior to exogenous dopamine compared to the control. The dopamine neurons showed resistance to neurodegeneration on repeated Mn exposure during the adult stage. As observed in mammalian systems, these worms showed significantly low olfactory adaptive learning and memory. This study shows that C. elegans alters adaptive developmental plasticity during Mn overexposure, modifying its sensitivity towards the metal ion and leads to remodeling in its innate learning behavior.

Abstract
The risk of exposure to toxic metals is a known concern to human populations. The overexposure to Mn can lead to a pathological condition, with symptoms similar to Parkinson's disease. Although toxicity of Mn has been reported, studies in neonates are scarce but necessary, as Mn can cross biological barriers. The present study evaluated if chronic perinatal exposure to Mn at low doses lead to neurotoxic effects in mice, after direct and indirect exposure. Couples of mice were exposed to Mn (0.013, 0.13, and 1.3 mg kg-1.day-1) for 60 days prior to mating, as well as during gestation and lactation. The offspring was distributed into two groups: animals that were not exposed after weaning - parental exposure only (PE); and animals subject to additional 60-day exposure through gavages after weaning - parental and direct exposure (PDE). Neurological effects were evaluated by Mn quantification, behavior tests and biochemical markers in the brain. PDE animals had alterations in short/long-term memory and increased anxiety-like behavior. Exposure to Mn triggered a decrease of glutathione-s-transferase and increase of cholinesterase activity in different regions of the brain. These findings highlight the risk of exposure to low doses of Mn over a generation and at early stages of development.

Abstract
Growing evidence from studies with children and animal models suggests that elevated levels of manganese during early development lead to lasting cognitive and fine motor deficits. This study was performed to assess presynaptic biogenic amine function in forebrain of adult Long-Evans rats exposed orally to 0, 25, or 50 mg Mn/kg/day over postnatal day 1-21 or continuously from birth to the end of the study (approximately postnatal day 500). Intracerebral microdialysis in awake rats quantified evoked outflow of biogenic amines in the right medial prefrontal cortex and left striatum. Results indicated that brain manganese levels in the early life exposed groups (postnatal day 24) largely returned to control levels by postnatal day 66, whereas levels in the lifelong exposed groups remained elevated 10%-20% compared with controls at the same ages. Manganese exposure restricted to the early postnatal period caused lasting reductions in cortical potassium-stimulated extracellular norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin, and reductions in striatal extracellular dopamine. Lifelong manganese exposure produced similar effects with the addition of significant decreases in cortical dopamine that were not evident in the early postnatal exposed groups. These results indicate that early postnatal manganese exposure produces persistent deficits in cortical and striatal biogenic amine function. Given that these same animals exhibited lasting impairments in attention and fine motor function, these findings suggest that reductions in catecholaminergic activity are a primary factor underlying the behavioral effects caused by manganese, and indicate that children exposed to elevated levels of manganese during early development are at the greatest risk for neuronal deficiencies that persist into adulthood.

Impact of manganese amino acid complex on tissue-specific trace mineral distribution and corpus luteum function in gilts. J Anim Sci 2021; 99:6274863. [PMID: 33982089 DOI: 10.1093/jas/skab155] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2021] [Accepted: 05/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Functional corpora lutea (CL) are required for pregnancy establishment and gestational maintenance in swine, and CL function is susceptible to environmental influences. Manganese (Mn) could be critical in regulating CL function since it is a component of the antioxidant enzyme Mn superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) as well as enzymes involved in cholesterol and steroid hormone synthesis. We hypothesized that a more bioavailable dietary Mn source would increase Mn content in the CL thereby influencing luteal function during the mid-luteal phase of the estrous cycle. Postpubertal gilts (n = 32) were assigned to one of four gestation diets. The control diet (CON) met or exceeded National Research Council (2012) requirements and was formulated to contain 20 parts per million (ppm) of added Mn in the form of Mn sulfate. Three additional diets included 20 (treatment [TRT]1), 40 (TRT2), or 60 (TRT3) ppm of added Mn from a Mn-amino acid complex (Availa-Mn; Zinpro Corporation) instead of Mn sulfate. Dietary treatment began at estrus synchronization onset and continued through 12 days post estrus (dpe) of the ensuing estrous cycle. Blood samples were collected at estrus onset, which was assigned as 0 dpe, as well as 4, 8, and 12 dpe. Gilts were euthanized and tissues were collected at 12 dpe. Serum progesterone (P4) increased (P < 0.01) from 0 to 12 dpe but was unaffected by dietary treatment (P = 0.15) and there was no effect of the interaction between day and treatment (P = 0.85). Luteal Mn content increased (P ≤ 0.05) by 19%, 21%, and 24% in gilts fed TRT1, TRT2, and TRT3, respectively, compared to CON. Luteal P4 concentrations decreased (P = 0.03) 25%, 26%, and 32% in gilts fed TRT1, TRT2, and TRT3, respectively, compared to CON. Relative to CON gilts, CL calcium content decreased (P = 0.02) by 36%, 24%, and 34% for TRT1, TRT2, and TRT3 gilts, respectively. Collectively, these data support the hypothesis that feeding a more bioavailable Mn source increases Mn accumulation in CL tissue. If and how this influences CL function may be related to altered luteal P4 concentrations.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the greatest global health challenges of modern times and its prevalence is rising worldwide. AMR within bacteria reduces the efficacy of antibiotics and increases both the morbidity and the mortality associated with bacterial infections. Despite this growing risk, few antibiotics with a novel mode of action are being produced, leading to a lack of antibiotics that can effectively treat bacterial infections with AMR. Metals have a history of antibacterial use but upon the discovery of antibiotics, often became overlooked as antibacterial agents. Meanwhile, metal-based complexes have been used as treatments for other diseases, such as the gold-containing drug auranofin, used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Metal-based antibacterial compounds have novel modes of action that provide an advantage for the treatment of bacterial infections with resistance to conventional antibiotics. In this review, the antibacterial activity, mode of action, and potential for systemic use of a number of metal-based antibacterial complexes are discussed. The current limitations of these compounds are highlighted to determine if metal-based agents are a potential solution for the treatment of bacterial infections, especially those resistant to conventional antibiotics.

Abstract
Ethylene bisdithiocarbamate pesticides, including Mancozeb (MZ), are used as fungicides. Effects of MZ on apoptosis induction and mitochondrial activity of HT-29 colon cells were investigated. MZ exposed cells exhibited blebbing and cellular membrane disruption in scanning electron micrographs. Positive fluorescent staining with Annexin V at doses of 60-140 μM supports apoptosis as the mechanism of cell death. Activity of all electron transport chain complexes were evaluated. Mitochondrial Complex I activity was decreased in 100 μM treated cells. Mitochondrial Complex III activity was decreased in 60 and 100 μM MZ treated cells. Mitochondrial Complex II and Complex IV activities were decreased in cells treated with 60, 100, and 140 μM. Cells treated with 60 μM exhibited a decrease in Complex V enzyme activity. It is concluded that MZ exposure inhibits all mitochondrial complexes of HT-29 cells and that positive fluorescent microscopy and blebbing support previous studies of cell death via apoptosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Several diseases and clinical conditions can affect enteral nutrition and adequate gastrointestinal uptake. In this respect, parenteral nutrition (PN) is necessary for the provision of deficient trace elements. However, some essential elements, such as manganese (Mn) may be toxic to children and adults when parenterally administered in excess, leading to toxic, especially neurotoxic effects. AREAS COVERED Here, we briefly provide an overview on Mn, addressing its sources of exposure, the role of Mn in the etiology of neurodegenerative diseases, and focusing on potential mechanisms associated with Mn-induced neurotoxicity. In addition, we discuss the potential consequences of overexposure to Mn inherent to PN. EXPERT OPINION In this critical review, we suggest that additional research is required to safely set Mn levels in PN, and that eliminating Mn as an additive should be considered by physicians and nutritionists on a case by case basis in the meantime to avoid the greater risk of neurotoxicity by its presence. There is a need to better define clinical biomarkers for Mn toxicity by PN, as well as identify new effective agents to treat Mn-neurotoxicity. Moreover, we highlight the importance of the development of new guidelines and practice safeguards to protect patients from excessive Mn exposure and neurotoxicity upon PN administration.

Abstract
Rugao city is a typical longevity area taking shallow groundwater as the primary drinking water source. To determine the relationship between longevity and groundwater conditions, the hydrogeochemical characteristics and related causes of potable groundwater were investigated. On this basis, the water quality index (WQI) and hazard index (HI) of groundwater were evaluated. Meanwhile, the nutrient indicators beneficial to human health, like Ca and Mg concentrations, were also considered to explore the relationship. The results were as following: (1) 91.3% of water samples fell under the Ca/Mg-HCO3 water type, which resulted from the dissolution of silicate rock. Na, Cl-, Br, B in groundwater emanated from seawater intrusion. The abnormal concentrations of NO3- and As also indicated that anthropogenic activities had exerted significant influences on groundwater quality. (2) The average WQI value was 30.19, which meant that the overall groundwater quality in Rugao city was pretty good. However, 8 water samples were found to have HI values above 1, which might be attributed to the high concentration of As (maximum value 0.0407 mg/L; mean value 0.0076 mg/L). In general, low WQI and HI values corresponded to towns with a high longevity population; what's more, WQI and HI values of Rugao city were lower than those of non-longevity areas. (3) Comparing with adjacent non-longevity areas, the potable groundwater in Rugao city had the characteristics of high Ca (mean value 123.57 mg/L), high Mg (mean value 50.33 mg/L) and high SO42- (mean value 525.19 mg/L). The daily intake of Ca and Mg from drinking water could meet 12.4% and 22.4% of daily Ca and Mg requirements, respectively. Also, the areas where the Sr and B concentrations were higher usually had higher life expectancy. The high concentrations of Ca, Mg, SO42-, Sr and B in drinking water, as well as low WQI and HI values, probably contribute to physical health and longevity. This research helps provide an insight into the relationship between groundwater quality and health and can serve as a reference for drinking water quality management.

Neurochem Int 2021; 147:105052. [PMID: 33905764 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuint.2021.105052] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2020] [Revised: 04/05/2021] [Accepted: 04/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Dithiolethiones are lipophilic, organosulfur compounds that activate the Nrf2 transcription factor causing an upregulation of various phase II antioxidant enzymes. A disubstituted dithiolethione 5-amino-3-thioxo-3H-(1,2) dithiole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (ACDT) retains the functional pharmacophore while also containing modifiable functional groups. Neuroprotection against autoimmune encephalomyelitis in vivo and 6-hydroxy dopamine (a model for Parkinson's disease) in vitro have been previously reported with ACDT. Manganese (Mn) is a metal essential for metabolic processes at low concentrations. Overexposure and accumulation of Mn leads to a neurological condition called manganism which shares pathophysiological sequelae with parkinsonism. Here we hypothesized ACDT to be protective against manganese-induced cytotoxicity. SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells exposed to 300 μM MnCl2 displayed approximately 50% cell death, and a 24-h pretreatment with 75 μM ACDT significantly reversed this cytotoxicity. ACDT pretreatment was also found to increase total GSH levels (2.18-fold) and the protein levels of NADPH:quinone oxidoreductase-1 (NQO1) enzyme (6.33-fold), indicating an overall increase in the cells' antioxidant defense stores. A corresponding 2.32-fold reduction in the level of Mn-induced reactive oxygen species was also observed in cells pretreated with ACDT. While no changes were observed in the protein levels of apoptotic markers Bax and Bcl-2, pretreatment with 75 μM ACDT led to a 2.09-fold downregulation of ZIP14 import transporter, indicating a potential reduction in the cellular uptake of Mn as an additional neuroprotective mechanism. These effects did not extend to other transporters like the divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) or ferroportin. Collectively, ACDT showed substantial neuroprotection against Mn-induced cytotoxicity, opening a path for dithiolethiones as a potential novel therapeutic option against heavy metal neurotoxicity.

Abstract
Perosis is a common metabolic disease of industrial birds, especially broiler chickens. It leads to a violation of the balance of biotic substances in the body of chickens, which is clinically manifested by the curvature of the limbs, reduced mobility, and, consequently, reduced profitability of meat production. Prevention of perosis is possible provided that chickens receive a sufficient amount of manganese in a biologically available form. Studies were conducted to determine the efficiency of use of manganese chelates (pantothenate and lysinate) for prevention of perosis in broiler chickens. Efficacy was confirmed by examining changes in the clinical state, indicators of protein and mineral metabolism, as well as meat productivity of birds. For the experiment, broiler chickens of the Cobb-500 cross were taken at the age of 14 days. The birds of the control group received a standard diet, and the chickens from two experimental groups additionally received manganese pantothenate and lysinate with water during the critical period for the development of perosis – 14–28 days old. After 14 days of administration of manganese pantothenate and lysinate, the weight of the experimental birds at the age of 28 days was greater by 133.6 g (+11.0%) and 142.2 g (+11.7%), respectively, in comparison with poultry of the control group. Additional provision of manganese pantothenate and lysinate to chickens of the experimental groups contributed to an increase in the blood serum total protein concentration by 11.0% and 12.8 %, albumin – by 10.1% and 8.2%, magnesium – by 8.1% and 9.0% and manganese – by 29.6% and 26.9%, respectively, compared with indicies of the control group birds. The use of manganese chelates in the form of pantothenate (0.2 mL/L of water) and a lysinate (0.5 mL/L) during the 14–28th days of broiler chickens’ rearing provides 100% prevention of perosis. This reduces the death of broiler chickens, increases body weight, and, as a result, significantly increases the profitability of meat production.

Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of different patterns and sources of Zn, Fe, Cu, Mn, and Se on performance, mineral deposition (liver, kidney, pancreas, spleen, pectorals muscle, and tibia), and excretion of laying hens, then to find an optimal dietary supplemental pattern of trace elements in laying hens. A total of 864 healthy laying hens with similar laying rate (Roman, 26-week-old) were randomly divided into nine treatments, with six replications of 16 birds per replication, including a control treatment and four patterns with different element sources (inorganic or organic): (1) Control treatment (basic diet without added extra trace minerals, CT); pattern 1, NRC (1994) recommended level (NRC-L): (2) inorganic minerals of NRC-L pattern (IN), (3) organic minerals of NRC-L pattern (ON); pattern 2, NY/T 33-2004 recommended level (NY/T-L): (4) inorganic minerals of NY/T-L pattern (IY), (5) organic minerals of NY/T-L pattern (OY); pattern 3, 50% NRC (1994) recommended level (50% NRC-L): (6) inorganic minerals of 50% NRC-L pattern (IHN), (7) organic minerals of 50% NRC-L pattern (OHN); pattern 4, the ratio of minerals in blood of laying hens was taken as the supplement proportion of trace elements, and Zn was supplemented depended on NRC recommended level (TLB): (8) inorganic minerals of TLB pattern (IB), (9) organic minerals of TLB pattern (OB). Two weeks were allowed for adjustment to the conditions and then measurements were made over eight weeks. Supplementation of trace elements led to increased daily egg weight (p < 0.05). Patterns of minerals in diets affected the content of liver Mn, pancreas Mn, tibia Mn, and the tissues Se (p < 0.05). Sources of minerals had positive effects on daily egg weight (p < 0.05), the concentrations of liver Fe, kidney Cu, tissues Se (except spleen), and fecal Se (p < 0.05). In conclusion, diet supplemented with the organic trace minerals of 50% NRC-L pattern (OHN) in laying hens promoted optimum laying performance, mineral deposition, and reduced mineral excretion.

Association between maternal urinary manganese concentrations and newborn telomere length: Results from a birth cohort study. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2021; 213:112037. [PMID: 33609998 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2021.112037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2020] [Revised: 02/02/2021] [Accepted: 02/05/2021] [Indexed: 05/25/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Telomere length (TL) is a biomarker for biological aging, and the initial setting of TL at birth is a determinant factor of TL in later life. Newborn TL is sensitive to maternal metals concentrations, while study about the association between maternal manganese (Mn) concentrations and newborn TL was not found. Our study aimed to investigate whether newborn TL is related to maternal Mn concentrations. METHODS Data were collected from a birth cohort study of 762 mother-newborn pairs conducted from November 2013 to March 2015 in Wuhan, China. We measured the Mn concentrations in spot urine samples collected during three trimesters by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and relative cord blood TL by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). We applied multiple informant models to investigate the associations between maternal Mn concentrations and cord blood TL. RESULTS The geometric mean of creatinine-corrected urinary Mn concentrations were 1.58 μg/g creatinine, 2.53 μg/g creatinine, and 2.62 μg/g creatinine in the first, second, and third trimester, respectively. After adjusting for potential confounders, a doubling of maternal urinary Mn concentration during the second trimester was related to a 2.10% (95% CI: 0.25%, 3.99%) increase in cord blood TL. Mothers with the highest tertile of urinary Mn concentrations during the second trimester had a 9.67% (95% CI: 2.13%, 17.78%) longer cord blood TL than those with the lowest tertile. This association was more evident in male infants. No relationship was found between maternal urinary Mn concentrations and cord blood TL during the first and third trimesters in our study. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggested that maternal Mn concentration during the second trimester was positively associated with newborn TL. These results might provide an epidemiology evidence on the protective role of maternal Mn for newborn TL and offer clues for the early prevention of telomere shortening related diseases.

Positron Emission Tomography-Magnetic Resonance Imaging Pharmacokinetics, In Vivo Biodistribution, and Whole-Body Elimination of Mn-PyC3A. Invest Radiol 2021; 56:261-270. [PMID: 33136686 PMCID: PMC7933117 DOI: 10.1097/rli.0000000000000736] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Mn-PyC3A is an experimental manganese (Mn)-based extracellular fluid magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent that is being evaluated as a direct replacement for clinical gadolinium (Gd)-based contrast agents. The goals of this study were to use simultaneous positron emission tomography (PET)-MRI to (1) compare the whole-body pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, and elimination of Mn-PyC3A with the liver-specific contrast agent mangafodipir (Mn-DPDP), (2) determine the pharmacokinetics and fractional excretion of Mn-PyC3A in a rat model of renal impairment, and (3) compare whole-body elimination of Mn-PyC3A to gadoterate (Gd-DOTA) in a rat model of renal impairment. METHODS Mn-PyC3A and Mn-DPDP were radiolabeled with the positron emitting isotope Mn-52 via Mn2+ exchange with 52MnCl2. Dynamic simultaneous PET-MRI was used to measure whole-body pharmacokinetics and biodistribution of Mn-52 immediately and out to 7 days after an intravenous 0.2 mmol/kg dose of [52Mn]Mn-PyC3A to normal or to 5/6 nephrectomy rats or a 0.01 mmol/kg dose of [52Mn]Mn-DPDP to normal rats. The fractional excretion and 1- and 7-day biodistribution in rats after the injection of 2.0 mmol/kg [52Mn]Mn-PyC3A (n = 11 per time point) or 2.0 mmol/kg Gd-DOTA (n = 8 per time point) were quantified by gamma counting or Gd elemental analysis, respectively. Comparisons of Mn-PyC3A pharmacokinetics and in vivo biodistribution in normal and 5/6 nephrectomy rats and comparisons of ex vivo Mn versus Gd biodistribution data in 5/6 nephrectomy were made with an unpaired t test. RESULTS Dynamic PET-MRI data demonstrate that both [52Mn]Mn-PyC3A and [52Mn]Mn-DPDP were eliminated by mixed renal and hepatobiliary elimination but that a greater fraction of [52Mn]Mn-PyC3A was eliminated by renal filtration. Whole-body PET images show that Mn-52 from [52Mn]Mn-PyC3A was efficiently eliminated from the body, whereas Mn-52 from [52Mn]Mn-DPDP was retained throughout the body. The blood elimination half-life of [52Mn]Mn-PyC3A in normal and 5/6 nephrectomy rats was 13 ± 3.5 minutes and 23 ± 12 minutes, respectively (P = 0.083). Area under the curve between 0 and 60 minutes postinjection (AUC0-60) in the bladder of normal and 5/6 nephrectomy rats was 2600 ± 1700 %ID/cc*min and 750 ± 180 %ID/cc*min, respectively (P = 0.024), whereas AUC0-60 in the liver of normal and 5/6 nephrectomy rats was 33 ± 13 %ID/cc*min and 71 ± 16 %ID/cc*min, respectively (P = 0.011), indicating increased hepatobiliary elimination in 5/6 nephrectomy rats. The %IDs of Mn from [52Mn]Mn-PyC3A and Gd from Gd-DOTA recovered from 5/6 nephrectomy rats 1 day after injection were 2.0 ± 1.1 and 1.3 ± 0.34, respectively (P = 0.10) and 7 days after injection were 0.14 ± 0.11 and 0.41 ± 0.24, respectively (P = 0.0041). CONCLUSIONS Mn-PyC3A has different pharmacokinetics and is more efficiently eliminated than Mn-DPDP in normal rats. Mn-PyC3A is efficiently eliminated from both normal and 5/6 nephrectomy rats, with increased fractional hepatobiliary excretion from 5/6 nephrectomy rats. Mn-PyC3A is more completely eliminated than Gd-DOTA from 5/6 nephrectomy rats after 7 days.

Scher DP, Goeden HM, Klos KS. Potential for Manganese-Induced Neurologic Harm to Formula-Fed Infants: A Risk Assessment of Total Oral Exposure. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH PERSPECTIVES 2021; 129:47011.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High oral exposure and biological vulnerabilities may put formula-fed infants at risk for manganese-induced neurotoxicity. OBJECTIVES We sought to characterize manganese concentrations in public drinking water and prepared infant formulas commonly purchased in the United States, integrate information from these sources into a health risk assessment specific to formula-fed infants, and examine whether households that receive water with elevated manganese concentrations avoid or treat the water, which has implications for formula preparation. METHODS Manganese was measured in 27 infant formulas and nearly all Minnesota community public water systems (CPWS). The risk assessment produced central tendency and upper-end exposure estimates that were compared to a neonatal animal-based health reference dose (RfD) and considered possible differences in bioavailability. A survey study assessed esthetic concerns, treatment, and use of water in a Twin Cities community with various levels of manganese in drinking water. RESULTS Ten percent of CPWSs were estimated to exceed the EPA health advisory level of 300 μ g / L . Manganese concentrations in formula ranged from 69.8 to 741 μ g / L , with amino acid > soy > cow ' s milk formula concentrations. Central tendency estimates of soy and amino acid formula reconstituted with water at the CPWS 95th percentile manganese concentration exceeded the neonatal-based RfD. Upper-end estimates of manganese intake from formula alone, independent of any water contribution, equaled or exceeded the neonatal-based RfD. In the survey study, we observed increased awareness of esthetic issues and water avoidance at higher manganese concentrations, but these concentrations were not a reliable consumption deterrent, as the majority of households with inside tap drinking water results above 300 μ g / L reported drinking the water. DISCUSSION Excessive exposure to manganese early in life can have long-lasting neurological impacts. This assessment underscores the potential for manganese overexposure in formula-fed infants. U.S. agencies that regulate formula and drinking water must work collaboratively to assess and mitigate potential risks. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP7901.

Deletion of a Golgi protein in Trypanosoma cruzi reveals a critical role for Mn2+ in protein glycosylation needed for host cell invasion and intracellular replication. PLoS Pathog 2021; 17:e1009399. [PMID: 33720977 PMCID: PMC7993795 DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1009399] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2020] [Revised: 03/25/2021] [Accepted: 02/17/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Trypanosoma cruzi is a protist parasite and the causative agent of American trypanosomiasis or Chagas disease. The parasite life cycle in its mammalian host includes an intracellular stage, and glycosylated proteins play a key role in host-parasite interaction facilitating adhesion, invasion and immune evasion. Here, we report that a Golgi-localized Mn2+-Ca2+/H+ exchanger of T. cruzi (TcGDT1) is required for efficient protein glycosylation, host cell invasion, and intracellular replication. The Golgi localization was determined by immunofluorescence and electron microscopy assays. TcGDT1 was able to complement the growth defect of Saccharomyces cerevisiae null mutants of its ortholog ScGDT1 but ablation of TcGDT1 by CRISPR/Cas9 did not affect the growth of the insect stage of the parasite. The defect in protein glycosylation was rescued by Mn2+ supplementation to the growth medium, underscoring the importance of this transition metal for Golgi glycosylation of proteins. Trypanosoma cruzi is the etiologic agent of Chagas disease, which is endemic from North to South America and the most important cause of heart disease in Latin America. T. cruzi can infect most mammalian nucleated cells and its glycoproteins are needed for its adhesion to cells, and for host cell invasion. Efficient glycosylation of proteins in the Golgi complex requires cations as cofactors. In this work, we found that ablation of a Golgi localized cation transporter prevents normal protein glycosylation, host cell invasion, and intracellular replication, and that protein glycosylation can be rescued by Mn2+ but not by Ca2+, Mg2+, or Zn2+, revealing the importance of Mn2+ for host parasite interaction.

Abstract
Manganese (Mn), an essential metal, can be toxic at elevated levels. In 2012, the first inherited cause of Mn excess was reported in patients with mutations in SLC30A10, a Mn efflux transporter. To explore the function of SLC30A10 in vitro, the current study used CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing to develop a stable SLC30A10 mutant Hep3B hepatoma cell line and collagenase perfusion in live mice to isolate primary hepatocytes deficient in Slc30a10. We also compared phenotypes of primary vs. non-primary cell lines to determine if they both serve as reliable in vitro models for the known physiological roles of SLC30A10. Mutant SLC30A10 Hep3B cells had increased Mn levels and decreased viability when exposed to excess Mn. Transport studies indicated a reduction of 54Mn import and export in mutant cells. While impaired 54Mn export was hypothesized given the essential role for SLC30A10 in cellular Mn export, impaired 54Mn import was unexpected. Whole genome sequencing did not identify any additional mutations in known Mn transporters in the mutant Hep3B mutant cell line. We then evaluated 54Mn transport in primary hepatocytes cultures isolated from genetically altered mice with varying liver Mn levels. Based on results from these experiments, we suggest that the effects of SLC30A10 deficiency on Mn homeostasis can be interrogated in vitro but only in specific types of cell lines.

Trace Metal Element Analysis in Some Seafood in the Coastal Zone of the Red River (Ba Lat Estuary, Vietnam) by Green Sample Preparation and Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). JOURNAL OF ANALYTICAL METHODS IN CHEMISTRY 2021; 2021:6649362.

Abstract
Fisheries and aquaculture production in the coastal zone of Vietnam contribute significantly to the national economy. However, seafood quality and safety, especially in terms of metal contents, are of increasing concern, for both domestic and international markets. This paper presents the results of an investigation in some trace metal elements (iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), and mercury (Hg)) concentrations in some fishes, crustaceans, and molluscs in the coastal zone of the Red River (in the Ba Lat estuary in Thai Binh and Nam Dinh provinces) during four sampling campaigns in 2020. All samples were treated by a green sample preparation using microwave digestion and then analyzed by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The results showed that the trace metal element concentrations in fish, crustacean, and mollusc samples decreased in the following order: Fe > Zn > Mn > Cu > As > Cd ∼ Hg. In more details, the ranges of trace metal elements in seafood samples were 13.13-202.73; 7.63-82.71; 0.48-22.73; 0.72-15.58; 0.18-5.12; 0.001-1.114; and 0.001-0.923 mg·kg-1 for Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, As, Cd, and Hg, respectively. The research results contribute to the dataset of the seafood (both fishery and aquacultural seafood) quality in the Red River coastal zone. Although the mean values of different trace metal elements observed in this study were lower than the allowed values of Vietnam's or European's threshold for food safety, some high concentrations were detected. The survey results suggest the need to expand the monitoring scope (frequency of monitoring, number of samples, and observed variables) for obtaining a fully comprehensive assessment of seafood quality in this region. Our results also indicate that it is necessary to manage water quality in coastal areas, especially where aquaculture activities are carried out.

Abstract
Although acquired manganese neurotoxicity has been widely reported since its first description in 1837 and is popularly referred to as "manganism," inherited disorders of manganese homeostasis have received the first genetic signature as recently as 2012. These disorders, predominantly described in children and adolescents, involve mutations in three manganese transporter genes, i.e., SLC30A10 and SLC39A14 which lead to manganese overload, and SLC39A8, which leads to manganese deficiency. Both disorders of inherited hypermanganesemia typically exhibit dystonia and parkinsonism with relatively preserved cognition and are differentiated by the occurrence of polycythemia and liver involvement in the SLC30A10-associated condition. Mutations in SLC39A8 lead to a congenital disorder of glycosylation which presents with developmental delay, failure to thrive, intellectual impairment, and seizures due to manganese deficiency. Chelation with iron supplementation is the treatment of choice in inherited hypermanganesemia. In this review, we highlight the pathognomonic clinical, laboratory, imaging features and treatment modalities for these rare disorders.

Abstract
The aim of this study, focused on the nutritional value of wild berries, was to determine the contents of macronutrients, profiles of fatty (FAs) and amino acids (AAs), and the contents of selected elements in red arils (RA) of Taxus baccata L., grown in diverse locations in Poland. Protein (1.79–3.80 g/100 g) and carbohydrate (18.43–19.30 g/100 g) contents of RAs were higher than in many cultivated berries. RAs proved to be a source of lipids (1.39–3.55 g/100 g). Ten out of 18 AAs detected in RAs, mostly branched-chain AAs, were essential AAs (EAAs). The EAAs/total AAs ratio approximating were found in animal foods. Lipids of RA contained seven PUFAs, including those from n-3 family (19.20–28.20 g/100 g FA). Polymethylene-interrupted FAs (PMI-FAs), pinolenic 18:3Δ5,9,12; sciadonic 20:3Δ5,11,14, and juniperonic 20:4Δ5,11,14,17, known as unique for seeds of gymnosperms, were found in RAs. RAs may represent a novel dietary source of valuable n-3 PUFAs and the unique PMI-FAs. The established composition of RAs suggests it to become a new source of functional foods, dietary supplements, and valuable ingredients. Because of the tendency to accumulate toxic metals, RAs may be regarded as a valuable indicator of environmental contamination. Thus, the levels of toxic trace elements (Al, Ni, Cd) have to be determined before collecting fruits from natural habitats.

Abstract
Epsilonproteobacteria are a diverse class of eubacteria within the Proteobacteria phylum that includes environmental sulfur-reducing bacteria and the human pathogens, Campylobacter jejuni and Helicobacter pylori. These pathogens infect and proliferate within the gastrointestinal tracts of multiple animal hosts, including humans, and cause a variety of disease outcomes. While infection of these hosts provides nutrients for the pathogenic Epsilonproteobacteria, many hosts have evolved a variety of strategies to either sequester metals from the invading pathogen or exploit the toxicity of metals and drive their accumulation as an antimicrobial strategy. As a result, C. jejuni and H. pylori have developed mechanisms to sense changes in metal availability and regulate their physiology in order to respond to either metal limitation or accumulation. In this review, we will discuss the challenges of metal availability at the host-pathogen interface during infection with C. jejuni and H. pylori and describe what is currently known about how these organisms alter their gene expression and/or deploy bacterial virulence factors in response to these environments.

Manganese homeostasis at the host-pathogen interface and in the host immune system. Semin Cell Dev Biol 2021; 115:45-53. [PMID: 33419608 DOI: 10.1016/j.semcdb.2020.12.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2020] [Revised: 12/17/2020] [Accepted: 12/18/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Manganese serves as an indispensable catalytic center and the structural core of various enzymes that participate in a plethora of biological processes, including oxidative phosphorylation, glycosylation, and signal transduction. In pathogenic microorganisms, manganese is required for survival by maintaining basic biochemical activity and virulence; in contrast, the host utilizes a process known as nutritional immunity to sequester manganese from invading pathogens. Recent epidemiological and animal studies have shown that manganese increases the immune response in a wide range of vertebrates, including humans, rodents, birds, and fish. On the other hand, excess manganese can cause neurotoxicity and other detrimental effects. Here, we review recent data illustrating the essential role of manganese homeostasis at the host-pathogen interface and in the host immune system. We also discuss the accumulating body of evidence that manganese modulates various signaling pathways in immune processes. Finally, we discuss the key molecular players involved in manganese's immune regulatory function, as well as the clinical implications with respect to cancer immunotherapy.

Souza TL, Batschauer AR, Brito PM, Martino-Andrade AJ, Ortolani-Machado CF. Evaluation of testicular structure in mice after exposure to environmentally relevant doses of manganese during critical windows of development. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2021; 207:111537. [PMID: 33254399 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2020.111537] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2020] [Revised: 09/29/2020] [Accepted: 10/16/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Despite being an essential trace element with great importance for vital metabolic activities, the manganese (Mn) can also cause damage to organ systems. However, data on the effect of this metal on the male reproductive system are limited, especially using relevant doses to human exposure. The present study aimed to evaluate and compare the effects of Mn exposure on the testicular structure of mice. Three experiments were conducted: (I) direct exposure to realistic doses (0.013, 0.13, and 1.3 mg/kg/day of MnCl2); (II) parental and direct exposure to realistic doses (as in experiment I), where the animals were exposed during intrauterine development and from lactation until reproductive maturity; (III) direct exposure to high doses (15, 30, and 60 mg/kg/day of MnCl2). Biometric, histopathological, histomorphometric and stereological parameters of the testis were evaluated, in addition to sperm morphology. Bioinformatic analyses were performed to identify potential Mn binding sites in 3β-HSD and P450ssc, as well as their protein-protein interaction network. The results obtained were compared using the integrated biomarker response index (IBR). There was an increase of seminiferous tubules pathologies in all experimental conditions tested, with effects on tubular volume, as well as a reduction in tubular diameter. The IBR analyses showed that parental and direct exposure had a significant negative effect on the testicular structure due to the exposure of this metal to sensitive periods of animal development. This study suggests that Mn has the potential to alter the morphological parameters of the testes, affecting the spermatogenesis in mice.
