We have recently reported thatl-serine released from astroglial cells supports the survival and neuritogenesis of hippocampal neurons under a serum- and glia-free culture condition (Mitoma, J., Furuya, S., and Hirabayashi, Y. (1998) Neurosci. Res. 30, 195–199). In this study, we show that exogenous l-serine is required for the synthesis of phosphatidyl-l-serine (PS) and sphingolipids in hippocampal neurons. When hippocampal neurons were maintained under an astroglial cell-free condition, the levels of sphingolipids and phosphatidyl-l-serine in the neurons were greatly reduced in the absence of external l-serine or glycine. Instead, a novel phospholipid appeared just ahead of PS on TLC. This novel lipid was determined to be phosphatidyl-l-threonine by TLC blotting/negative secondary ion mass spectrometry and amino acid analysis. Biochemical studies on rat brain microsomes have indicated that phosphatidyl-l-threonine is synthesized by the base exchange enzyme that is involved in PS synthesis with much lower affinity, that is, approximately 1 150 of l-serine. Addition of l-serine or glycine to the culture medium restored the synthesis of PS and sphingolipids in the neurons. These observations show that hippocampal neurons require exogenousl-serine for the synthesis of PS and sphingolipids in the absence of astroglial cells and suggested that astroglial cells contribute to neuronal lipid synthesis through the supply ofl-serine.
