星形胶质细胞在中枢神经系统 (CNS) 对创伤、感染或炎症的反应中发挥着复杂的作用。因此,表征星形胶质细胞功能的调节机制以及星形胶质细胞活性治疗调节的潜在靶标非常重要。在这里,我们报告在慢性实验性自身免疫性脑脊髓炎(EAE)(多发性硬化症(MS)的实验模型)期间,中枢神经系统中的乳糖神经酰胺(LacCer)水平上调。我们发现星形胶质细胞中由 β-1,4-半乳糖基转移酶 6 (B4GALT6) 合成的 LacCer 以自分泌方式起作用,触发转录程序,促进 CNS 浸润单核细胞和小胶质细胞的招募和激活以及神经退行性变。我们还检测到 CNS MS 病变中 B4GALT6 表达和 LacCer 水平增加。最后,抑制 LacCer 合成可抑制 EAE 中的局部 CNS 先天免疫和神经变性,并干扰体外人星形胶质细胞的激活。因此,B4GALT6 是 MS 和其他神经炎症性疾病的潜在治疗靶点。
Astrocytes play complex roles in the response to trauma, infection or inflammation in the central nervous system (CNS). Thus, it is important to characterize the mechanisms regulating astrocyte function, as well as potential targets for the therapeutic modulation of astrocyte activity. Here we report that lactosylceramide (LacCer) levels are up-regulated in the CNS during chronic experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an experimental model of multiple sclerosis (MS). We found that LacCer synthesized by β-1,4-galactosyltransferase 6 (B4GALT6) in astrocytes acts in an autocrine manner to trigger transcriptional programs that promote the recruitment and activation of CNS-infiltrating monocytes and microglia, and neurodegeneration. We also detected increased B4GALT6 expression and LacCer levels in CNS MS lesions. Finally, the inhibition of LacCer synthesis suppressed local CNS innate immunity and neurodegeneration in EAE, and interfered with the activation of human astrocytes in vitro. Thus, B4GALT6 is a potential therapeutic target for MS and other neuroinflammatory disorders.
