Clozapine Modulates Glucosylceramide, Clears Aggregated Proteins, and Enhances ATG8/LC3 in Caenorhabditis elegans

Abstract: Defining the mechanisms of action of the antipsychotic drug (APD), clozapine, is of great importance, as clozapine is more effective and has therapeutic benefits in a broader range of psychiatric disorders compared with other APDs. Its range of actions have not been fully characterized. Exposure to APDs early in development causes dose-dependent developmental delay and lethality in Caenorhabditis elegans. A previous genome-wide RNAi screen for suppressors of clozapine-induced developmental delay and lethality … Show more

“…The sms-5 null mutant shows a significant decrease of fluorescent signal in the anterior pharynx (Fig 5d and 5e). We infer that the remaining signal is either background staining from the sphingomyelin probe and/or sphingomyelin that is produced by other sphingomyelin synthases [27]. We conclude that sms-5 mutants produce less sphingomyelin in the anterior pharynx compared to wild type animals.…”

“…Further experiments provided evidence that clozapine activates sms-1, which boosts glucosylceramide levels which in turn reduce cellular protein aggregates by inducing autophagy. 75 Analysis of a null mutation in the cation-selective transient potential receptor channel gtl-2 that suppresses larval arrest provided evidence for multiple tissues involved in clozapine action, as restoring gtl-2 expression only in the excretory canal cell is sufficient to rescue suppression. 76 Although still unclear, suppression appears to be mediated through regulation of Mg 2+ homeostasis specifically in this cell.…”
