Dogs with canine ceroid lipofuscinosis (CCL)† show an abnormal EEG as early as 5 mo of age and exhibited either severe disorganization or very low amplitudes by 24 mo. Ceroid particles accumulate with age and, within neurons, have a unique characteristic appearance consisting of lamellar patterns enclosed by a single unit membrane. Although the etiology of their formation has not been fully elucidated, isolated particles are enriched in phospholipids. Our present studies have examined microsomal enzymes involved in phospholipid synthesis and turnover and demonstrate that the acyl group composition of cerebral lipids from animals with CCL is similar to that from controls. However, the activation of palmitic, linoleic, arachidonic, and docosahexaenoic acids into their Coenzyme A thiol ester forms was significantly lower in cerebral and cerebellar microsomes of the diseased dogs than in those of the controls. In addition, the incorporation of arachidonic acid into phospholipids was significantly decreased in affected animals. These results suggest that the metabolism of arachidonic acid plays an important role in the pathogenesis of ceroid lipofuscinosis.
