LID - 10.3390/ijms24054581 [doi] LID - 4581 AB - Astrocytes are critical players in brain health and disease. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), a bioactive signaling lipid, is involved in several vital processes, including cellular proliferation, survival, and migration. It was shown to be crucial for brain development. Its absence is embryonically lethal, affecting, inter alia, the anterior neural tube closure. However, an excess of S1P due to mutations in S1P-lyase (SGPL1), the enzyme responsible for its constitutive removal, is also harmful. Of note, the gene SGPL1 maps to a region prone to mutations in several human cancers and also in S1P-lyase insufficiency syndrome (SPLIS) characterized by several symptoms, including peripheral and central neurological defects. Here, we investigated the impact of S1P on astrocytes in a mouse model with the neural-targeted ablation of SGPL1. We found that SGPL1 deficiency, and hence the accumulation of its substrate, S1P, causes the elevated expression of glycolytic enzymes and preferentially directs pyruvate into the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle through its receptors (S1PR(2,4)). In addition, the activity of TCA regulatory enzymes was increased, and consequently, so was the cellular ATP content. The high energy load activates the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), thus keeping astrocytic autophagy in check. Possible consequences for the viability of neurons are discussed.
