Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of manganese (Mn)-induced cytotoxicity on heat shock proteins in chicken spleen lymphocytes. Lymphocytes were cultured in medium in the absence and presence of MnCl2 (2 × 10−4, 4 × 10−4, 6 × 10−4, 8 × 10−4, 10 × 10−4, and 12 × 10−4 mmol/L) for 12, 24, 36, and 48 h in vitro. Then, the mRNA levels of HSP27, HSP40, HSP60, HSP70, and HSP90 were examined by real-time quantitative PCR. The results showed that the mRNA levels of HSP27, HSP40, HSP60, HSP70, and HSP90 in all treatment groups at all time points, except mRNA levels of HSP27 at 48 h, had the same tendency. As manganese concentration increased, the mRNA expression of the heat shock proteins first increased and then decreased. In other words, we demonstrated that the mRNA expression of the heat shock proteins was induced at lower concentrations of manganese and was inhibited at higher concentrations. Mn had a dosage-dependent effect on HSP27, HSP40, HSP60, HSP70, and HSP90 mRNA expression in chicken spleen lymphocytes in vitro.
