Study TitleLoss of dihydroceramide desaturase drives neurodegeneration by disrupting endoplasmic reticulum and lipid droplet homeostasis in glial cells
Study TypeUntargeted Metabolomics & Lipidomics
Study SummaryDihydroceramide desaturases convert dihydroceramides to ceramides, the precursors of all complex sphingolipids. Reduction of DEGS1 dihydroceramide desaturase function causes pediatric neurodegenerative disorder hypomyelinating leukodystrophy-18 (HLD-18). We discovered that infertile crescent (ifc), the Drosophila DEGS1 homolog, is expressed primarily in glial cells to promote CNS development by guarding against neurodegeneration. Loss of ifc causes massive dihydroceramide accumulation and severe morphological defects in cortex glia, including endoplasmic reticulum (ER) expansion, failure of neuronal ensheathment, and lipid droplet depletion. RNAi knockdown of the upstream ceramide synthase schlank in glia of ifc mutants rescues ER expansion, suggesting dihydroceramide accumulation in the ER drives this phenotype. RNAi knockdown of ifc in glia but not neurons drives neuronal cell death, suggesting that ifc function in glia promotes neuronal survival. Our work identifies glia as the primary site of disease progression in HLD-18 and may inform on juvenile forms of ALS, which also feature elevated dihydroceramide levels.

Collection:

Collection ID:CO003274
Collection Summary:Whole larvae and dissected CNS
Sample Type:Larvae, CNS

Treatment:

Treatment ID:TR003290
Treatment Summary:Untargeted lipidomics analysis was conducted on whole larva and dissected CNS of wild type and ifc-/- mutants at the late-third instar stage. Five replicates were prepared for each set of experiments. For whole larvae, at least 15 larvae of each genotype were used for each replicate. For the dissected CNS, at least 50 wild type and 60 ifc-/- CNS were used per replicate. Immediately following collection or dissection, larvae and the dissected CNS were flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and placed at -80°C.

Sample Preparation:

Sampleprep ID:SP003288
Sampleprep Summary:Whole larvae and CNS samples were extracted utilizing a tissue homogenizer, employing a solvent mixture of acetonitrile, methanol, and water in a 2:2:1 ratio, using 40 µL per mg of wet weight. The samples were then stored at -20°C overnight. Following centrifugation at 14,000 x g for 10 minutes at 4°C, the supernatant was transferred into an LC/MS vial and subsequently stored at -80°C until LC/MS analysis.
