Dataset Summary
TitleInhibiting sphingolipid synthesis improves outcomes and survival in GARP-mutant wobbler mouse, an ALS model
DescriptionDefects of the endosomal and lysosomal systems have been increasingly linked to adult neurodegenerative diseases1,2. Deficiencies in the retrograde trafficking pathway between endosomes and the Golgi apparatus lead to forms of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases in the case of retromer mutations, or to the rare progressive cerebello-cerebral atrophy type 2 (PCCA2) for mutations of the Golgi-associated retrograde protein (GARP) complex3. Mutations in GARP subunits lead to abnormal cellular lipid metabolism, with accumulation of sterol esters and sphingoid bases, and concomitant lysosomal dysfunction in yeast, murine, or human cells4,5. However, whether these lipid changes cause neurodegeneration and if so, which lipids are toxic, is unknown. Here, we show that GARP defects lead to global changes of cellular protein distribution, including missorting of numerous disease-linked enzymes of sphingolipid metabolism, and to the accumulation of sphingolipid intermediates in wobbler fibroblasts. Inhibiting sphingolipid synthesis in wobbler mice, a murine model of GARP deficiency with features of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), improved wellness scores and grip strength, and increased lifespan. Our findings indicate that regulation of sphingolipids by the GARP complex is essential for neuronal health and suggest that inhibition of sphingolipid synthesis might provide a therapeutic strategy for treatment of neurodegenerative diseases due to defects in retrograde endosome-to-Golgi membrane trafficking.
