ABSTRACT
Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency is a neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the sphingomyelin-degrading enzyme acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) gene. Upregulated neuroinflammation has been well-characterized in an ASM knockout mouse model of acid sphingomyelinase deficiency disease, but lipid mediator pathways involved in 'mediating' inflammation and inflammation-resolution have yet to be characterized. In this study, we 1) measured free (bioactive) and esterified (inactive) lipid mediators involved in inflammation and inflammation resolution in cerebellum and neuronal cultures of ASM knockout (ASMko) mice and wildtype (WT) controls, and 2) quantified the esterification of labeled pro-resolving free d11-14(15)-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid in cultured neurons from ASMko and WT mice. We found elevated concentrations of esterified pro-resolving lipid mediators and hydroxyeicosatrienoic acids typically destined for pro-resolving lipid mediator synthesis (e.g. lipoxins) in the cerebellum and neurons of ASMko mice compared to controls. Free d11-14(15)-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid esterification within neurons of ASMko mice was significantly elevated compared to WT. Our findings show evidence of increased inactivation of free pro-resolving lipid mediators through esterification in ASMko mice, suggesting impaired resolution as a new pathway underlying ASM deficiency pathogenesis.
