Outline Activities
Our laboratory is interested in understanding molecular and cellular mechanisms that regulate responses to limited availability of simple nutrients amino acids in animals. Over the last several years, we have focused in particular on the physiological role of serine biosynthesis in the development and function of brain. We have used targeted gene disruption approach to create mouse models of human serine deficiency disorder, which exhibits severe neurological symptoms in patients. Current projects being undertaken are:
1) Functional genomics analysis of knockout mice lacking serine biosynthesis.
2) Development of an integrative omics platform for analysis of mouse models of human serine deficiency disorder.
3) Characterization of the mechanisms underlying growth retarded phenotypes exhibited by mice lacking serine biosynthesis.
4) Development of in vivo bioassay system for screening food components enhancing brain function.

Whether and how such metabolic dysregulation contributes to both synaptic plasticity and behavioral deficits in AD is not known. Here, we show that the astrocytic L-serine biosynthesis pathway, which branches from glycolysis, is impaired in young AD mice and in AD patients. L-serine is the precursor of D-serine, a co-agonist of synaptic NMDA receptors (NMDARs) required for synaptic plasticity. Accordingly, AD mice display a lower occupancy of the NMDAR co-agonist site as well as synaptic and behavioral deficits. Similar deficits are observed following inactivation of the L-serine synthetic pathway in hippocampal astrocytes, supporting the key role of astrocytic L-serine. Supplementation with L-serine in the diet prevents both synaptic and behavioral deficits in AD mice. Our findings reveal that astrocytic glycolysis controls cognitive func- tions and suggest oral L-serine as a ready-to-use therapy for AD.. |
