Abstract: Objective The neural toxicity induced by manganese with different valence was compared, and the protective effects of selenium was investigated.Methods The SH-SY5Ycells were divided into the following groups: control;Mn2+;Mn3+;Selenium;Mn2++Selenium;Mn3++Selenium.The degree of DNAstrand break was determined using a Single Cell Gel Electrophoresis method.Cell apoptosis and cell cycle distribution were determined by flow cytometry.Results Mn3+ induced more DNAstrand break, apoptosis and Sphase accumulation than Mn2+.The neural toxicity induced by either Mn3+ or Mn2+ was reduced by selenium.Conclusion Mn3+ exhibits stronger neural toxicity than Mn2+.Selenium may be a potential agent to protect neurons from Mn-induced damage.

Key words: manganese, neurotoxicity, selenium, oxidative stress
