Programme Introduction - Morbus Alzheimer: numbers and facts Sphingolipids: history, structure, metabolism Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) boon or bane? - biological activity and mechanism of action CIMES, a synthetic sphingosine analogue S1P-lyase K and conditional K - molecular bases of S1P-induced neurotoxicity - S1P-lyase-deficiency and neurodegeneration - S1P-lyase-deficiency and synaptic plasticity Conclusion and outlook
1906: 37. Meeting of doctors for the insane of southwest Germany in Tübingen Alois Alzheimer reports about a peculiar affection of the cerebral cortex Auguste D. 2013: World Alzheimer Report 2013 AD most common neurodegenerative disease worldwide 36 mill. cases (2030: 77 mill. 2050: 135 mill.) Costs worldwide: 604 Bill. USD in 2010 (1% of the global GDP) 1,117 Bill USD in 2030
Histopathological findings reported by A. Alzheimer (1906) Miliary foci distributed all over the cortex, caused by the infiltration of a peculiar substance into the cortex Weird neurofibrillary changes, that appeared like very thick tangles filling not only the cell body but also neuronal processes Images C & D are from Holtzman et al. Sci Transl. Med. 2011, 3, 1-17

Conclusions Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a neuronal death signal, when generated by SK2 and impaired degradation Calpain is an essential mediator of S1P-induced neurotoxicity n cellular and molecular level S1P neurotoxicity parallels that of A S1P-lyase expression is correlated with neuronal death S1P-lyase deficiency is correlated with Alzheimer characteristics: Hyperphosphorylation h of tau Impaired APP-processing Elevated levels of cholesteryl-ester S1P stimulates BACE1, the rate-limiting enzyme for A production (Takasugi et al., 2011, J. Neurosci.) Conditional knockout mouse: neuron specific Conditional knockout mouse: neuron-specific inactivation ofs1p-lyase
