Inhibition of Serine Palmitoyltransferase by a Small Organic Molecule Promotes Neuronal Survival after Astrocyte Amyloid Beta 1-42 Injury.

Abstract:

:Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a slow-progressing disease of the brain characterized by symptoms such as impairment of memory and other cognitive functions. AD is associated with an inflammatory process that involves astrocytes and microglial cells, among other components. Astrocytes are the most abundant type of glial cells in the central nervous system (CNS). They are involved in inducing neuroinflammation. The present study uses astrocyte-neuron cocultures to investigate how ARN14494, a serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) inhibitor, affects the CNS in terms of anti-inflammation and neuroprotection. SPT is the first rate-limiting enzyme in the de novo ceramide synthesis pathway. Consistent evidence suggests that ceramide is increased in AD brain patients. After β-amyloid 1-42 injury in an in vitro model of AD, ARN14494 inhibits SPT activity and the synthesis of long-chain ceramides and dihydroceramides that are involved in AD progression. In mouse primary cortical astrocytes, ARN14494 prevents the synthesis of proinflammatory cytokines TNFα and IL1β, growth factor TGFβ1, and oxidative stress-related enzymes iNOS and COX2. ARN14494 also exerts neuroprotective properties in primary cortical neurons. ARN14494 decreases neuronal death and caspase-3 activation in neurons, when the neuroinflammation is attenuated in astrocytes. These findings suggest that ARN14494 protects neurons from β-amyloid 1-42 induced neurotoxicity through a variety of mechanisms, including antioxidation, antiapoptosis, and anti-inflammation. SPT inhibition could therefore be a safe therapeutic strategy for ameliorating the pathology of Alzheimer's disease.
