Cover Story: The following study explores the possibility that dysregulated sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) metabolism affects Alzheimer’s disease (AD) through altered function in glial cells. Sphingosine kinase (SK) 1 inhibition by PF-543 decreases S1P content and augments LPS-induced inflammatory responses in both astrocytes and microglia. Decreased S1P affects the microglial inflammatory responses through humoral factors from astrocytes. PF-543 also decreases microglial Aβ uptake and increases the number of injured neurons, resulting in Aβ accumulation and ultimately neuronal loss in the Aβ-treated neuron/glia mixed culture. The results indicate that a decrease in glial S1P content can exacerbate neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration through altered glial cell functions. View this paper
