Lead (Pb) and manganese (Mn) are common environmental pollutants, with high exposures potentially resulting in neurotoxicity. However, individuals are subject to co-exposures in real life, and it is therefore important to study these metals in combination. Weaning Sprague-Dawley rats (SD rats) were given ad libitum access to drinking water solutions containing Pb (100 ppm), Mn (2.5 mg/mL) or a mixture, and each treatment has its own minocycline (MC) (50 mg/Kg.d) supplement group. The results showed that in the Morris water maze (MWM) and Y maze a significant difference in the escape latency, percent time spent in target quadrant and correct response ratio were noted in all exposure groups when compared to controls. The combined exposure group exhibited the most pronounced effect when compared with each of the single metal exposure groups. The induction levels of hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP) were significantly reduced in the single metal and combined exposure groups compared to the control group. Furthermore, the inhibitory effects of combined exposure group were significantly greter than in the single metal exposure groups. Microglia displayed activation at day 3 after exposure alone or in combination, while astrocytes showed activation at day 5 after exposure alone or in combination, accompanied by decreased expression levels of glutamate-glutamine cycle-related proteins GLAST, GLT-1, and GS. Furthermore, the levels of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate in the synaptic cleft increased significantly. When microglial activation and release of its activated factors were inhibited by minocycline, the activation of astrocytes, and the expression of glutamate-glutamine cycle-related proteins GLAST, GLT-1, and GS were both reversed. In addition, upon minocycline treatment the induction of hippocampal LTP and the cognitive injury were significantly alleviated in each of the exposure groups. Moreover, the effects mentioned above were more significant in the combined exposure group than in the single exposure group. These results suggest that combined exposure to lead and manganese can cause greater effects on cognition and synaptic plasticity when compared to single metal exposure groups. And the reason may involve in microglia abnormal activation leading to an excessive regulation of astrocytes, resulting in glutamate reuptake dysfunction in astrocytes and lead to perturbed cognition and synaptic plasticity.
