✦ Synopsis

The metals iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) are essential for normal functioning of the brain. This review focuses on recent developments in the literature pertaining to Fe and Mn transport. These metals are treated together because they appear to share several transport mechanisms. In addition, several neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, and Huntington's Disease are all associated with Fe mismanagement in the brain, particularly in the striatum and basal ganglia. Similarly, Mn accumulation in brain also appears to target the same brain regions. Therefore, stringent regulation of the concentration of these metals in the brain is essential. The homeostatic mechanisms for these metals must be understood in order to design neurotoxicity prevention strategies.

The peroxiredoxin (Prx) protein is expressed widely in animal tissues and serves an antioxidant function associated with removal of cellular peroxides. We have cloned two Prx genes and observed differential expression of Prx-I and Prx-II (formerly NKEF-A and NKEF-B) in purified rat brain cell cultur

Subtractive hybridization was used to isolate genes expressed uniquely in the immortalized human breast epithelial cell (HBEC) line MCF-10F and not in the mortal HBEC line S-130, from which MCF-10F cells were derived. We identified a 233-bp cDNA that was expressed in MCF-10F cells and not in their m
