Manganese in autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: The state of the art. Curr Res Toxicol 2024; 6:100170. [PMID: 38737010 PMCID: PMC11088232 DOI: 10.1016/j.crtox.2024.100170] [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: 12/29/2023] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024] Open
Abstract
The objective of the present narrative review was to synthesize existing clinical and epidemiological findings linking manganese (Mn) exposure biomarkers to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and to discuss key pathophysiological mechanisms of neurodevelopmental disorders that may be affected by this metal. Existing epidemiological data demonstrated both direct and inverse association between Mn body burden and ASD, or lack of any relationship. In contrast, the majority of studies revealed significantly higher Mn levels in subjects with ADHD, as well as direct relationship between Mn body burden with hyperactivity and inattention scores in children, although several studies reported contradictory results. Existing laboratory studies demonstrated that impaired attention and hyperactivity in animals following Mn exposure was associated with dopaminergic dysfunction and neuroinflammation. Despite lack of direct evidence on Mn-induced neurobiological alterations in patients with ASD and ADHD, a plethora of studies demonstrated that neurotoxic effects of Mn overexposure may interfere with key mechanisms of pathogenesis inherent to these neurodevelopmental disorders. Specifically, Mn overload was shown to impair not only dopaminergic neurotransmission, but also affect metabolism of glutamine/glutamate, GABA, serotonin, noradrenaline, thus affecting neuronal signaling. In turn, neurotoxic effects of Mn may be associated with its ability to induce oxidative stress, apoptosis, and neuroinflammation, and/or impair neurogenesis. Nonetheless, additional detailed studies are required to evaluate the association between environmental Mn exposure and/or Mn body burden and neurodevelopmental disorders at a wide range of concentrations to estimate the potential dose-dependent effects, as well as environmental and genetic factors affecting this association.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 263:115238. [PMID: 37441952 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.115238] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2023] [Revised: 07/02/2023] [Accepted: 07/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023]
Abstract
Although adequate intake of manganese (Mn) is essential to humans, Mn in excess is neurotoxic. Exposure to extremely high doses of Mn results in "manganism", a condition that exhibits Parkinson-like symptoms. However, the mechanisms underlying its neurotoxic effects in Mn-induced parkinsonism pathogenesis are unclear. In this study, 8-week-old male C57BL/6 J mice were injected intraperitoneally with saline and 50 mg/kg MnCl2 respectively once daily for 14 days to produce an acute Mn neurotoxicity model. Accumulation of Mn in the midbrain, motor dysfunction and loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra evidenced Mn neurotoxicity. Untargeted lipidomic analysis demonstrated that Mn overexposure altered lipidome profiles. A significant modulation of 12 lipid subclasses belonging to 5 different categories were found in the midbrain and among the most abundant lipids were sphingolipids, glycerophospholipids, and glycerides. The levels of sphingomyelin (SM) were significantly decreased after Mn treatment. The expression of SM biosynthesis genes was decreased dramatically while sphingomyelinase was up-regulated. In addition, we observed oxidative stress in both the midbrain of mice and MN9D cells, indicated by the increase of MDA level, the decrease of reduced GSH level and the inhibition of SOD and GPx enzyme activities. There was a correlation between these changes and motor dysfunctions. Overall, our study is the first to use lipidomics techniques to explore the pathogenesis of Mn-induced parkinsonism in C57BL/6 J mice. Mn induced molecular events in the midbrain, such as lipid metabolism disorders, oxidative stress and dopaminergic neurons injury, may mechanistically play important roles in the pathogenesis of Parkinson-like symptoms. Moreover, these findings emphasize the necessity for reducing the health risk of environmental neurotoxic pollutants in relation to parkinsonism.

Novel trajectories of the NK1R antagonist aprepitant in rotenone-induced Parkinsonism-like symptoms in rats: Involvement of ERK5/KLF4/p62/Nrf2 signaling axis. Chem Biol Interact 2023; 380:110562. [PMID: 37224993 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2023.110562] [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: 02/07/2023] [Revised: 05/09/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2023] [Indexed: 05/26/2023]
Abstract
Regulation of the interplay between autophagy and oxidative stress is vital in maintaining neuronal homeostasis during neurotoxicity. The interesting involvement of NK1 receptor (NK1R) in neurodegeneration has highlighted the value of investigating the neuroprotective effect of aprepitant (Aprep), an NK1R antagonist in Parkinson's disease (PD). This study was conducted to disclose Aprep's ability to modulate extracellular signal-regulated kinase 5/Krüppel-like factor 4 (ERK5/KLF4) cue as molecular signaling implicated in regulating autophagy and redox signaling in response to rotenone neurotoxicity. Rotenone (1.5 mg/kg) was administered on alternate days, and rats were given Aprep simultaneously with or without PD98059, an ERK inhibitor, for 21 days. Aprep ameliorated motor deficits as verified by restored histological features, and intact neurons count in SN and striata along with tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactivity in SN. The molecular signaling of Aprep was illustrated by the expression of KLF4 following the phosphorylation of its upstream target, ERK5. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) was up-regulated, shifting the oxidant/antioxidant balance towards the antioxidant side, as evidenced by elevated GSH and suppressed MDA levels. In parallel, Aprep noticeably reduced phosphorylated α-synuclein aggregates due to autophagy induction as emphasized by marked LC3II/LC3I elevation and p62 level reduction. These effects were diminished upon PD98059 pre-administration. In conclusion, Aprep showed neuroprotective effects against rotenone-induced PD, which may be partially attributed to the activation of the ERK5/KLF4 signaling pathway. It modulated p62-mediated autophagy and Nrf2 axis which act cooperatively to counter rotenone-associated neurotoxicity pointing to Aprep's prospect as a curious candidate in PD research.

Abstract
Oxidative stress regulates many physiological and pathological processes. Indeed, a low increase in the basal level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is essential for various cellular functions, including signal transduction, gene expression, cell survival or death, as well as antioxidant capacity. However, if the amount of generated ROS overcomes the antioxidant capacity, excessive ROS results in cellular dysfunctions as a consequence of damage to cellular components, including DNA, lipids and proteins, and may eventually lead to cell death or carcinogenesis. Both in vitro and in vivo investigations have shown that activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 5/extracellular signal-regulated kinase 5 (MEK5/ERK5) pathway is frequently involved in oxidative stress-elicited effects. In particular, accumulating evidence identified a prominent role of this pathway in the anti-oxidative response. In this respect, activation of krüppel-like factor 2/4 and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 emerged among the most frequent events in ERK5-mediated response to oxidative stress. This review summarizes what is known about the role of the MEK5/ERK5 pathway in the response to oxidative stress in pathophysiological contexts within the cardiovascular, respiratory, lymphohematopoietic, urinary and central nervous systems. The possible beneficial or detrimental effects exerted by the MEK5/ERK5 pathway in the above systems are also discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder and hampers normal living. It has been reported that programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4) is associated with tumor suppression, inflammatory response, and apoptosis. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the role of PDCD4 in PD. METHODS The in vivo and in vitro PD models were established by MPTP-induced mice and MMP+ stimulated MN9D cells, respectively. The expression of PDCD4 was detected by western blot. The MN9D cell viability and apoptosis were determined by MTT and flow cytometry assay. Moreover, the MN9D cell mitochondrial injury was evaluated by JC-1 staining. RESULTS In this study, PDCD4 was highly expressed in brain tissue of MPTP-induced PD mouse model. In a loss-function experiments, knockdown of PDCD4 promoted MN9D cell viability and allayed MPP+-triggered MN9D cell apoptosis. Furthermore, knockdown of PDCD4 ameliorated MPP+-evoked MN9D cell mitochondrial injury. Mechanically, knockdown of PDCD4 abolished the effect of MMP+ stimulation via activating phosphoinositide 3-kinase(PI3K)/AKT/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signal. Notably, the protective effects of shPDCD4 on cell apoptosis and mitochondrial injury were suppressed by PI3K inhibitor LY294002. CONCLUSION In summary,knockdown of PDCD4 ameliorates neural cell apoptosis and mitochondrial injury through activating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signal, providing a novel target for PD treatment.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is involved in maintaining homeostasis of the body, and an in-depth study of its mechanism of action is beneficial for the prevention of chronic illnesses. This study aimed to investigate the protective mechanism of yam polysaccharide (CYP) against H2O2-induced oxidative damage by an RNA-seq technique. The expression of genes and the function of the genome in the process of oxidative damage by H2O2 in IEC-6 cells were explored through transcriptomic analysis. The results illustrated that H2O2 damaged cells by promoting cell differentiation and affecting tight junction proteins, and CYP could achieve cell protection via restraining the activation of the MAPK signaling pathway. RNA-seq analysis revealed that H2O2 may damage cells by promoting the IL-17 signaling pathway and the MAPK signaling pathway and so forth. The Western blot showed that the pretreatment of CYP could restrain the activation of the MAPK signaling pathway. In summary, this study demonstrates that the efficacy of CYP in modulating the MAPK signaling pathway against excessive oxidative stress, with a corresponding preventive role against injury to the intestinal barrier. It provides a new perspective for the understanding of the preventive role of CYP on intestinal damage. These findings suggest that CYP could be used as oxidation protectant and may have potential application prospects in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
MAP2K5, a member of the MAPK family, is associated with central nervous system disorders. However, neural functional of Map2k5 from animal models were not well examined so far. Here, we established a Map2k5-targeted knockout mouse model to investigate the behavior phenotypes and its underlying molecular mechanism. Our results showed that female Map2k5 mutant mice manifested decreased circadian-dependent ambulatory locomotion, coordination, and fatigue. Male Map2k5 mutant mice displayed impairment in open field exploration and prepulse inhibition of acoustic startle response (ASR) when compared with wild-type controls. Furthermore, Map2k5 mutant mice showed a decreased dopaminergic cell survival and tyrosine hydroxylase levels in nigrostriatal pathway, indicating a crucial role of MAP2K5 in regulating dopamine system in the central nervous system. In conclusion, this is the first study demonstrating that Map2k5 mutant mice displayed phenotypes by disturbing the dopamine system in the central nervous system, implicating Map2k5 mutant mouse as a promising model for many dopamine related disorders.

Abstract
Understanding of the immediate mechanisms of Mn-induced neurotoxicity is rapidly evolving. We seek to provide a summary of recent findings in the field, with an emphasis to clarify existing gaps and future research directions. We provide, here, a brief review of pertinent discoveries related to Mn-induced neurotoxicity research from the last five years. Significant progress was achieved in understanding the role of Mn transporters, such as SLC39A14, SLC39A8, and SLC30A10, in the regulation of systemic and brain manganese handling. Genetic analysis identified multiple metabolic pathways that could be considered as Mn neurotoxicity targets, including oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, apoptosis, neuroinflammation, cell signaling pathways, and interference with neurotransmitter metabolism, to name a few. Recent findings have also demonstrated the impact of Mn exposure on transcriptional regulation of these pathways. There is a significant role of autophagy as a protective mechanism against cytotoxic Mn neurotoxicity, yet also a role for Mn to induce autophagic flux itself and autophagic dysfunction under conditions of decreased Mn bioavailability. This ambivalent role may be at the crossroad of mitochondrial dysfunction, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and apoptosis. Yet very recent evidence suggests Mn can have toxic impacts below the no observed adverse effect of Mn-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. The impact of Mn exposure on supramolecular complexes SNARE and NLRP3 inflammasome greatly contributes to Mn-induced synaptic dysfunction and neuroinflammation, respectively. The aforementioned effects might be at least partially mediated by the impact of Mn on α-synuclein accumulation. In addition to Mn-induced synaptic dysfunction, impaired neurotransmission is shown to be mediated by the effects of Mn on neurotransmitter systems and their complex interplay. Although multiple novel mechanisms have been highlighted, additional studies are required to identify the critical targets of Mn-induced neurotoxicity.

Abstract
Urban particulate matter (UPM), an air pollutant-absorbing toxic substance, can access alveoli, leading to pulmonary diseases. Studies have shown that the water-soluble components of UPM (WS-UPM), containing main toxic substances, can induce oxidative damage in lung cells. In this study, the UPM particle size and composition were detected via instrumental analysis. The isoflavones (biochanin A (BCA), formononetin and daidzein) from chickpeas possess biological antioxidant properties. The present study aimed to investigate the mechanism of the oxidative damage induced by WS-UPM, and the protective role of isoflavones in human alveolar basal epithelial cells. The antioxidant activity of BCA, formononetin and daidzein was investigated through the total reduction capacity, diphenylpicrylhydrazine radical (DPPH), superoxide radical, and hydroxyl radical scavenging capacity detection. We also established cell models in vitro to further explore the BCA-protective mechanism. BCA presented a significant protection, and increased the levels of antioxidant makers including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione (GSH). The effects were also reflected as the reduction of malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO). Moreover, results obtained from RT-PCR and western blot techniques revealed that MEK5/ERK5 played an indispensable role in regulating the antioxidant effect of BCA, alleviating WS-UPM-induced lung injury. Furthermore, BCA mitigated WS-UPM-exposed damage through upregulating the Nrf2 signaling pathway to enhance the antioxidase expression downstream of Nrf2. In summary, our findings indicated that the WS-UPM-induced pulmonary disease was involved in oxidative stress and the MEK5/ERK5-Nrf2 signaling pathway, and BCA regulated the WS-UPM-induced lung damage via upregulation of the MEK5/ERK5-Nrf2 pathway.
