The Journal of Immunology Cholera Toxin B-Subunit Prevents Activation and Proliferation of Human CD4؉ T Cells by Activation of a Neutral Sphingomyelinase in Lipid Rafts1 Alexandre K. Rouquette-Jazdanian,* Arnaud Foussat,* Laurence Lamy,* Claudette Pelassy,* Patricia Lagadec,† Jean-Philippe Breittmayer,* and Claude Aussel2* The inhibition of human CD4؉ T lymphocyte activation and proliferation by cholera toxin B-subunit (CTB) is a well-established phenomenon; nevertheless, the exact mechanism remained unclear. In the present study, we propose an explanation for the rCTB-induced inhibition of CD4؉ T lymphocytes. rCTB specifically binds to GM1, a raft marker, and strongly modifies the lipid composition of rafts. First, rCTB inhibits sphingomyelin synthesis; second, it enhances phosphatidylcholine synthesis; and third, it activates a raft-resident neutral sphingomyelinase resembling to neutral sphingomyelinase type 1, thus generating a transient ceramide production. We demonstrated that these ceramides inhibit protein kinase C␣ phosphorylation and its translocation into Downloaded from the modified lipid rafts. Furthermore, we show that rCTB-induced ceramide production activate NF-␬B. Combined all together: raft modification in terms of lipids, ceramide production, protein kinase C␣ inhibition, and NF-␬B activation lead to CD4؉ T cell inhibition.

Review Sphingomyelin Synthases in Neuropsychiatric Health and Disease Christiane Mühle Roberto D. Bilbao Canalejas Johannes Kornhuber Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), Erlangen, Germany Key Words Sphingomyelin synthase • Neurological disease • Psychiatric disease • Brain • Central nervous system Abstract Sphingomyelin synthases (SMS) catalyze the conversion of ceramide and phosphatidylcholine to sphingomyelin and diacylglycerol and are thus crucial for the balance between synthesis and degradation of these structural and bioactive molecules. SMS thereby play an essential role in sphingolipid metabolism, cell signaling, proliferation and differentiation processes. Although tremendous progress has been made toward understanding the involvement of SMS in physiological and pathological processes, literature in the area of neuropsychiatry is still limited. In this review, we summarize the main features of SMS as well as the current methodologies and tools used for their study and provide an overview of SMS in the central nervous system and their implications in neurological as well as psychiatric disorders. This way, we aim at establishing a basis for future mechanistic as well as clinical investigations on SMS in neuropsychiatric health and diseases.

  • Tales and Mysteries of the Enigmatic Sphingomyelin Synthase Family Joost C.M
    Chapter 5 Tales and Mysteries of the Enigmatic Sphingomyelin Synthase Family Joost C.M. Holthuis and Chiara Luberto* Abstract n the last five years tremendous progress has been made toward the understanding of the mechanisms that govern sphingomyelin (SM) synthesis in animal cells. In line with the com- Iplexity of most biological processes, also in the case of SM biosynthesis, the more we learn the more enigmatic and finely tuned the system appears. Therefore with this review we aim first, at highlighting the most significant discoveries that advanced our knowledge and understand- ing of SM biosynthesis, starting from the discovery of SM to the identification of the enzymes responsible for its production; and second, at discussing old and new riddles that such discoveries pose to current investigators. Sphingomyelin Biosynthesis: An Historical Perspective Initial Milestones Sphingomyelin (SM) was first isolated by the German biochemist Thudichum in 1884 and its name derived from both the enigmatic and novel nature of its chemical structure (in the Greek mythology the sphinx is a monster that posed a riddle) and the tissue where it was isolated from (myelin).1 In spite of the initial suggestion that SM might have a specific role in neural function, later studies showed that SM is present in all mammalian tissues as well as lipoproteins. SM is indeed one of the most abundant phospholipids and, in cells, it forms a concentration gradient along the secretory pathway with the highest concentration in the plasma membrane (where it accumulates in the exoplasmic leaflet). SM is composed of a ceramide module and a phosphocholine (P-choline) moiety bound to the primary hydroxyl group (Fig.
