PG - 8-18 LID - S0197-0186(18)30400-5 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.neuint.2018.10.007 [doi] AB - Glutathione (GSH) is an essential component of intracellular antioxidant systems that plays a primordial role in the protection of cells against oxidative stress, maintaining redox homeostasis and xenobiotic detoxification. GSH synthesis in the brain is limited by the availability of cysteine and glutamate. Cystine, the disulfide form of cysteine is transported into endothelial cells of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and astrocytes via the system x(c)(-), which is composed of xCT and the heavy chain of 4F2 cell surface antigen (4F2hc). Cystine is reduced inside the cells and the L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1) transports cysteine from the endothelial cells into the brain, cysteine is transported into the neurons through the excitatory amino acid transporter 3 (EAAT3), also known as excitatory amino acid carrier 1 (EAAC1). The mechanistic/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and neurotrophins can activate signaling pathways that modulate amino acid transporters for GSH synthesis. The present study found that systemic L-buthionine-S-R-sulfoximine (BSO) administration selectively altered GSH homeostasis and EAAT3 levels in the mice cerebellum. Intraperitoneal treatment of mice with 6 mmol/kg of BSO depleted GSH and GSSG in the liver at 2 h of treatment. The cerebellum, but not other brain regions, exhibited a redox response. The mTOR and the neuronal growth factor (NGF)/tropomyosin receptor kinase A (TrkA) signaling pathways were activated and lead to an increase in the protein levels of the EAAT3 transporter, which was linked to an increase in the GSH/GSSG ratio and GSH concentration in the cerebellum at 0.5 and 2 h, respectively. Therefore, the cerebellum responds to peripheral GSH depletion via activation of the mTOR and NGF/TrkA pathways, which increase the transport of cysteine for GSH synthesis. CI - Copyright (c) 2018.
