Hepatic HIF2 is a key determinant of manganese excess and polycythemia in SLC30A10 deficiency.

ABSTRACT: Manganese is an essential yet potentially toxic metal. Initially reported in 2012, mutations in SLC30A10 are the first known inherited cause of manganese excess. SLC30A10 is an apical membrane protein that exports manganese from hepatocytes into bile and from enterocytes into the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract. SLC30A10 deficiency results in impaired gastrointestinal manganese excretion, leading to manganese excess, neurologic deficits, liver cirrhosis, polycythemia, and erythropoietin excess. Neurologic and liver disease are attributed to manganese toxicity. Polycythemia is attributed to erythropoietin excess. The goal of this study was to determine the basis of erythropoietin excess in SLC30A10 deficiency. Here, we demonstrate that transcription factors hypoxia-inducible factor 1a (
