Ceramide is a sphingolipid signaling molecule with powerful proinflammatory and proapoptotic properties. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of altered ceramide metabolism in spinal cord injury. Spinal cord injury was induced by application of vascular clips (force of 24g) to the dura via a four-level T5-T8 laminectomy. Spinal cord injury in mice resulted in severe trauma characterized by edema, neutrophil infiltration, production of a range of inflammatory mediators, tissue damage, and apoptosis. Fumonisin B1, tyclodecan-9-xanthogenate (D609), and (3-carbazol-9-yl-propyl)-[2-(3,4-dimethoxy-phenyl)-ethyl]-methylamine (NB6) inhibitors of, respectively, ceramide synthase, acid sphingomyelinase, and the secretory form of acid sphingomyelinase significantly reduced the degree of (i) ceramide formation, (ii) tissue injury, (iii) neutrophil infiltration, (iv) nitrotyrosine formation, (v) TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta production and apoptosis (TUNEL staining and Bax and Bcl-2 expression). Significant improvement of motor function was observed in mice treated with inhibitors of the de novo (fumonisin Ell) and sphingomyelin (D609, NB6) pathways. These results implicate ceramide in the pathogenesis of spinal cord injury, providing the rationale for development of candidates for its therapeutic inhibition.
