Abstract excerpt
Chronic manganese (Mn) exposure can lead to manganism, a neurological disorder sharing common symptoms with Parkinson's disease (PD). Studies have shown that Mn can increase the expression and activity of leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2), leading to inflammation and toxicity in microglia. LRRK2 G2019S mutation also elevates LRRK2 kinase activity. Thus, we tested if Mn-increased microglial LRRK2 kinase is...
