摘要

In this article of EBioMedicine, An Cheng and colleagues show that blocking the function of fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) pharmacologically, alleviates the severity of the inflammatory demyelinating neurological condition in the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mouse model [1]. Suggesting that targeting lipid metabolism may be a viable therapeutic strategy against several pathological hallmarks of multiple sclerosis (MS). To appreciate this finding, we need to examine the role of FABP and its relationship with MS. MS is a multifactorial autoimmune and neurodegenerative condition. The presence of proinflammation brought about by reactive T cells, microglia and astrocytes, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction that perpetuate degeneration of neurons and glial cells, including oligodendrocytes, are common hallmarks of early MS. Hence, therapeutic targets that suppress proinflammatory activities by the immune cells and astrocytes and promote the remyelination capability of oligodendrocytes are priorities in MS research. Fatty acids are known to be involved in the inflammatory response, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction (all processes relevant to MS). Moreover, myelin (a lipid-rich membrane structure) production is dependent on fatty acid synthesis made by oligodendrocytes [2]. This makes lipid metabolism modulation a key therapeutic target considering increased adiposity is a risk factor and linked to increased disability in MS. Some have postulated that inflammation in MS is a secondary consequence of dysregulated lipid metabolism.
