Abstract:
:Lipocalin-type prostaglandin D synthase (L-PGDS) is one of the most abundant proteins in the cerebrospinal fluid. Nevertheless, its role in the central nervous system is far from clear. Here, we present evidence that L-PGDS induces glial cell migration and morphological changes in vitro and in vivo. We also identified myristoylated alanine-rich C-kinase substrate (MARCKS), heat shock proteins and actin as L-PGDS-binding proteins, demonstrating that MARCKS/Akt/Rho/Jnk pathways are involved in the L-PGDS actions in glia. We further show that the cell migration-promoting activity of L-PGDS is independent of PGD 2 production. The results suggest a novel non-enzymatic function of L-PGDS protein in brain inflammation, and may have an impact on glial cell biology and brain pathology related with reactive gliosis. L-PGDS is a potential drug target that can be exploited for therapeutic intervention of glia-driven neuroinflammation and related diseases.
