Divalent metal ions such as Mn2+ and Zn2+ have immunostimulatory effects and can enhance the expression of genes involved in innate immune responses induced by lipopolysaccharide. The enhancement of gene expression by Mn2+ is dose-dependent and partially relies on the cGAS-STING pathway independent of TLR4. Mn2+ has the potential to be a therapeutic target for preventing excessive immune responses.
Divalent metal ions such as magnesium (Mg2+), manganese (Mn2+), and zinc (Zn2+) play important roles in regulating innate immune responses. Lipopolysaccharide stimulation led to increased intracellular Mn and Zn in macrophages. However, the effect of those metal ions in regulating lipopolysaccharide-induced innate immune responses remains unclear. Here, we uncovered that both Mn2+ and Zn2+ have immunostimulatory effects, which could potentiate the lipopolysaccharide-induced expression of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs), cytokines and pro-inflammatory genes in a dose-dependent manner. Enhancement of lipopolysaccharide-induced innate immune gene expression by Mn2+ varies between 10 % and 900 %. Conversely, the chelating of Mn2+ almost totally diminished Mn2+-enhanced lipopolysaccharide-induced gene expression. In addition, Mn2+ exerted its ability to potentiate LPS-induced innate immune gene expression regardless of slight pH changes. Importantly, we found that Mn2+ potentiates lipopolysaccharide-induced immune responses independent of TLR4 but partially relies on cGAS-STING pathway. Further in vivo study showed that colloidal Mn2+ salt (Mn jelly [MnJ]) pretreatment exacerbated lipopolysaccharide-induced septic shock and mice death. In conclusion, we demonstrated that Mn2+ plays an essential role in boosting lipopolysaccharide-induced innate immune responses. These findings greatly expand the current understanding of the immunomodulatory potential of divalent metal Mn2+ and may provide a potential therapeutic target to prevent excessive immune responses.
