Manipulations of GSH content modulate [Ca2+]i homeostasis in rat astroglioma cells
Résumé
Oxidative stress is an aggravating factor of all neurological disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases. It is due to an exaggerated accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) concomitant to decreased reduced glutathione (GSH) levels; the main antioxidant of brain cells produced by astrocytes in large amounts. Cell death triggered by oxidative damage results from intracellular calcium overload which is deleterious to cell activity. The mechanisms involved in these calcium increases are not fully understood. Here, we have thus investigated whether GSH could protect neurons against oxidative stress through the modulation of calcium homeostasis. For this, GSH cell content was manipulated by modulating its metabolism. To investigate the link between GSH content and calcium homeostasis, we pre-treated rat astroglioma cells (C6) with sulforaphane (SFN) to increase intracellular GSH levels, or buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) to decrease them, during 24 hours for both treatments.
