To address the role of brain gangliosides in synaptic activity, the ceramide analogs, Dthreo-1-phenyl-2-decanoylamino-3-morpholino-l-propanol (D-PDMP) and its enantiomer, L-PDMP, were used to inhibit and stimulate ganglioside biosynthesis in cultured cortical neurons. Prolonged treatment with both PDMP isomers exhibited opposite effects on functional synapse formation measured by spontaneous synchronized oscillatory activity of intracellular between the neurons: suppression by D-PDMP and facilitation by L-PDMP. Up-regulation of synaptic activity by L-PDMP could be correlated with the slow but robust activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase. Treatment with L-PDMP after transient forebrain ischemia in rats ameliorated the deficit of a well-learned spatial memory by an 8-arm maze task, suggesting a new potential therapeutic approach for neurodegenerative disorders.
