Popis: Subacute exposure to manganese (Mn) produced Parkinson’s disease-like syndrome called Manganism. Chronic onset and progression are characteristics of Manganism, therefore, this study aimed to examine Mn toxicity following chronic exposures. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were injected Mn2+ 1 and 5 mg/kg, every 10 days for 150 days (15 injections). Animal body weight and behavioral activities were recorded. At the end of experiments, the brain and liver were collected for morphological and molecular analysis. Chronic Mn exposure did not affect animal body weight gain, but the high dose of Mn treatment caused 20% mortality after 140 days of administration. Motor activity deficits were observed in a dose-dependent manner at 148 days of Mn administration. Immunofluorescence double staining of substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) revealed the activation of microglia and loss of dopaminergic neurons. The chronic neuroinflammation mediators TNFα, inflammasome Nlrp3, Fc fragment of IgG receptor IIb, and formyl peptide receptor-1 were increased, implicating chronic Mn-induced neuroinflammation. Chronic Mn exposure also produced liver injury, as evidenced by hepatocyte degeneration with pink, condensed nuclei, indicative of apoptotic lesions. The inflammatory cytokines TNFα, IL-1β, and IL-6 were increased, alone with stress-related genes heme oxygenase-1, NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase-1 and metallothionein. Hepatic transporters, such as multidrug resistant proteins (Abcc1, Abcc2, and Abcc3) and solute carrier family proteins (Slc30a1, Slc39a8 and Slc39a14) were increased in attempt to eliminate Mn from the liver. In summary, chronic Mn exposure produced neuroinflammation and dopaminergic neuron loss in the brain, but also produced inflammation to the liver, with upregulation of hepatic transporters.
