Metabolomic Responses to Manganese Dose in SH-SY5Y Human Neuroblastoma Cells.

Manganese (Mn)-associated neurotoxicity has been well recognized. However, Mn is also an essential nutrient to maintain physiological function. Our previous study of human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells showed that Mn treatment comparable to physiological and toxicological concentrations in human brain resulted in different mitochondrial responses, yet cellular metabolic responses associated with such different outcomes remain uncharacterized. Herein, SH-SY5Y cells were examined for metabolic responses discriminated by physiological and toxicological levels of Mn using high-resolution metabolomics (HRM). Before performing HRM, we examined Mn dose (from 0 to100 μM) and time effects on cell death. Although we did not observe any immediate cell death after 5 h exposure to any of the Mn concentrations assessed (0-100 μM), cell loss was present after a 24-h recovery period in cultures treated with Mn ≥ 50 μM. Exposure to Mn for 5 h resulted in a wide range of changes in cellular metabolism including amino acids (AA), neurotransmitters, energy, and fatty acids metabolism. Adaptive responses at 10 μM showed increases in neuroprotective AA metabolites (creatine, phosphocreatine, phosphoserine). A 5-h exposure to 100 µM Mn, a time before any cell death occurred, resulted in decreases in energy and fatty acid metabolites (hexose-1,6 bisphosphate, acyl carnitines). The results show that adjustments in AA metabolism occur in response to Mn that does not cause cell death while disruption in energy and fatty acid metabolism occur in response to Mn that results in subsequent cell death. The present study establishes utility for metabolomics analyses to discriminate adaptive and toxic molecular responses in a human in vitro cellular model that could be exploited in evaluation of Mn toxicity.
