Abstract
The brain produces various reactive oxygen species in enzymatic and non-enzymatic reactions as a by-product of metabolism and/or for redox signaling. Effective antioxidant system in the brain cells maintains redox balance. However, neurons and glia from some brain regions are more vulnerable to oxidative stress in ischemia/reperfusion, epilepsy, and neurodegenerative disorders than the rest of the brain. Using fluorescent indicators in live cell imaging and confocal microscopy, we have measured the rate of cytosolic and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production, lipid peroxidation, and glutathione levels in cortex, hippocampus, midbrain, brain stem and cerebellum in acute slices of rat brain. We have found that the basal rate of ROS production is at its highest in brain stem and cerebellum, and that it is mainly generated by glial cells. Activation of neurons and glia by glutamate and ATP led to maximal rates of ROS production in the midbrain compared to the rest of the brain. Mitochondrial ROS had only minor implication to the total ROS production with maximal values in the cortex and minimal in the midbrain. The basal rate of lipid peroxidation was higher in the midbrain and hippocampus, while the GSH level was similar in most brain regions with the lowest level in the midbrain. Thus, the rate of ROS production, lipid peroxidation and the level of GSH vary across brain regions. • The rates of cytosolic and mitochondrial ROS production are variable between brain regions. • The basic rate of lipid peroxidation and level of GSH are different in various brain regions. • The basal rate of ROS production is the highest in brain stem and cerebellum. • Maximal rate of ROS activated by ATP or glutamate is in the midbrain. • Mitochondrial ROS has minor implication to the total basal ROS production in all brain regions.
