Manganese in Health and Disease

Abstract: Manganese is an important metal for human health, being absolutely necessary for development, metabolism, and the antioxidant system. Nevertheless, excessive exposure or intake may lead to a condition known as manganism, a neurodegenerative disorder that causes dopaminergic neuronal death and parkinsonian-like symptoms. Hence, Mn has a paradoxal effect in animals, a Janus-faced metal. Extensive work has been carried out to understand Mn-induced neurotoxicity and to find an effective treatment.

“…Manganese has been found directly to impair oxidative metabolism and interfere with mitochondrial Ca 2C homeostasis (for a review see ref. 38 ). As DMT1 levels increase in substantia nigra cells in PD, 39 the potential DMT1-mediated transition metal overload of mitochondria in PD expected from mitochondrial DMT1 localization may thus affect mitochondrial function by mechanisms in addition to oxidative stress.…”

“…However, when over-deposited in the brain, manganese promotes neurotoxicity, which is characterized by memory loss, impaired motor coordination and psychotic behavior resembling Parkinson’s disease (Avila et al, 2013). Manganese absorption from the gastrointestinal tract is limited due to first-pass elimination via biliary excretion (Roth, 2006).…”

“…Alternatively, Mn complexes might interact more strongly to DNA than Co ones. On the one hand, it is unlikely that the observed variation in the genotoxicity could be attributed to the type of metal in the complexes, since Mn ion is present inside cells and is required for the activity of several enzymes (Avila et al, 2013). The results that the mutagenicity of MnSL1 and CoSL1 decreases at higher concentrations might indicate that these complexes are cytotoxic to cells at high doses.…”
