PG - 94-103 LID - S0161-813X(21)00082-6 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.neuro.2021.07.004 [doi] AB - Dysregulation of the astrocytic glutamate transporter excitatory amino acid transporter 2 (EAAT2) is associated with several neurological disorders, including Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and manganism, the latter induced by chronic exposure to high levels of manganese (Mn). Mechanisms of Mn-induced neurotoxicity include impairment of EAAT2 function secondary to the activation of the transcription factor Yin Yang 1 (YY1) by nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-kappaB). However, the upstream mechanisms by which Mn-induced NF-kappaB activates YY1 remain to be elucidated. In the present study, we used the H4 human astrocyte cell line to test if Mn activates YY1 through the canonical NF-kappaB signaling pathway, leading to EAAT2 repression. The results demonstrate that Mn exposure induced phosphorylation of the upstream kinase IkappaB kinase (IKK-beta), leading to NF-kappaB p65 translocation, increased YY1 promoter activity, mRNA/protein levels, and consequently repressed EAAT2. Results also demonstrated that Mn-induced oxidative stress and subsequent TNF-alpha production were upstream of IKK-beta activation, as antioxidants attenuated Mn-induced TNF-alpha production and IKK-beta activation. Moreover, TNF-alpha inhibition attenuated the Mn-induced activation of IKK-beta and YY1. Taken together, Mn-induced oxidative stress and TNF-alpha mediates activation of NF-kappaB signaling and YY1 upregulation, leading to repression of EAAT2. Thus, targeting reactive oxygen species (ROS), TNF-alpha and IKK-beta may attenuate Mn-induced YY1 activation and consequent EAAT2 repression. CI - Copyright (c) 2021 Elsevier B.V.
