Disturbed neurotransmitter homeostasis in ether lipid deficiency

Abstract: Plasmalogens, the most prominent ether (phospho)lipids in mammals, are structural components of most cellular membranes. Due to their physicochemical properties and abundance in the central nervous system, a role of plasmalogens in neurotransmission has been proposed, but conclusive data are lacking. Here, we targeted this issue in the glyceronephosphate O-acyltransferase ( Gnpat ) KO mouse, a model of complete deficiency in ether lipid biosynthesis. Throughout the study, focusing on adu… Show more

“…Effect of synthetic plasmalogen treatment on the behavior of Pex7 hypo/null mice All four experimental mouse cohorts were subjected to the open field test before treatment (baseline) and at the end of the treatment period. A similar RCDP2 mouse model, based on a knockout of the Gnpat gene, had previously been demonstrated to be hyperactive in the open field test (Dorninger et al, 2019). In the untreated Pex7 hypo/null mice, we also demonstrated similar hyperactivity in the open field test in both young and older mice (data not shown).…”

“…Behavioral assessments in RCDP mouse models are limited due to early development of cataracts, which impact the visual abilities of the mice. Hyperactivity in the open field test has been reproducible in different RCDP mouse models (Dorninger et al, 2019). Furthermore, it is a potentially clinically useful behavioral phenotype as it has been reported in patients with mild RCDP disease (Yu et al, 2013).…”

“…Finally, structural alterations in caveolae, clathrincoated pits, ER and Golgi apparatus have been reported in the absence of ether lipids, which hits towards a role for these lipids in the general architecture of the endomembrane system [79]. A more recent paper from the same group has pointed out the role of ether lipids in the release of neurotransmitters, which could contribute to the behavioral phenotype of ether lipid-deficient mice [80].…”

“…Indeed, more generally, a modification of EL amounts influences neurotransmitter synthesis and their release. In a GNPAT KO mouse model, a decrease in both the quantity and release of dopamine in the striatum has been observed, leading to hyperactive mice, with a loss of social interaction and fear conditioning (31). In contrast to Parkinson's disease, in a schizophrenia or bipolar depression context, the level of Pls in the frontal cortex of patients was found to be higher than in control patients (32), which illustrates the fine equilibrium of EL quantity necessary for excitation-secretion coupling.…”
