Abstract
High-density lipoprotein (HDL)-associated sphingosine 1-phosphate mediates a variety of lipoprotein-induced actions in vascular cell systems. However, it remains unknown whether extracellular S1P is associated with lipoproteins to exert biological actions in central nervous system. Human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) induced rat astrocyte migration in a manner sensitive to S1P receptor antagonist VPC23019 and the migration activity was recovered in S1P fraction by thin-layer chromatography. Density-gradient separation of CSF revealed that the major S1P activity was detected in the HDL fraction. In conditioned medium of rat astrocytes cultured with sphingosine, the S1P activity was recovered again in the HDL fraction. The HDL fraction also induced migration of astrocytes and process retraction of oligodendrocytes in a manner similar to S1P. We concluded that S1P is accumulated in HDL-like lipoproteins in CSF and mediates some of lipoprotein-induced neural cell functions in central nervous system.
