摘要

Multiple Sclerosis is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that affects over 2 million people worldwide. Current therapies are not effective for all patients and do not prevent the accumulation of neurological disability over time. Untargeted metabolomics measures the end products of both gene and protein expression to determine the physiological state of the tissue or cell during normal function and disease states. We used liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry to examine the metabolite profiles in the spinal cords of mice with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and mouse hepatitis virus infection (MHV), two animal models of multiple sclerosis, as well as in tissue sections from multiple sclerosis patients with active inflammatory lesions or chronic, inactive lesions. Significant upregulation of a number of acylcarnitine species was seen in the spinal cords of EAE and MHV mice as well as in multiple sclerosis patients with active inflammatory lesions. These species are formed during the beta-oxidation of fatty acids through the conjugation of fatty acids to carnitine facilitating their importation into the mitochondria. Using mass-based imaging, dysregulated acylcarnitines were found to be upregulated in inflammatory lesions in EAE spinal cord and treatment of mice with an inhibitor of carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 (CPT-1), the enzyme that regulates the import of acylcamitines into the mitochondria, reduced disease severity. Mice treated with this drug showed decreased levels of inflammatory cells in the CNS and a reduction in acylcarnitine species. Inhibition of CPT-1 in encephalitogenic T cell cultures during antigen stimulation under low-glucose conditions lead to increased apoptosis. These results suggest that upregulation of fatty acid oxidation plays a role in inflammatory lesion formation during autoimmune demyelination and that inhibition of this pathway may be a novel therapeutic strategy for autoimmune disease of the central nervous system
