Abstract
Lipids contribute to the structure, development, and function of healthy brains. Dysregulated lipid metabolism is linked to aging and diseased brains. However, our understanding of lipid metabolism in aging brains remains limited. Here we examined the brain lipidome of mice across their lifespan using untargeted lipidomics. Co-expression network analysis highlighted a progressive decrease in 3-sulfogalactosyl diacylglycerols (SGDGs) and SGDG pathway members, including the potential degradation products lyso-SGDGs. SGDGs show an age-related decline specifically in the central nervous system and are associated with myelination. We also found that an SGDG dramatically suppresses LPS-induced gene expression and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines from macrophages and microglia by acting on the NF-κB pathway. The detection of SGDGs in human and macaque brains establishes their evolutionary conservation. This work enhances interest in SGDGs regarding their roles in aging and inflammatory diseases and highlights the complexity of the brain lipidome and potential biological functions in aging.

Abstract
Sulfatide is a myelin component of the central (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS) and is used extensively to identify oligodendrocyte progenitor cells. We have explored sulfatide expression in CNS gray matter (cerebellum, cerebral cortex, and hippocampus) and the PNS in adult rats using an anti-sulfatide antibody (Sulph I) and confocal microscopy. Biochemical analyses revealed two Sulph I antigens, sulfatide and seminolipid; sulfatide was present at about five times higher concentration, and the affinity of Sulph I for sulfatide was 2.5 times higher than that for seminolipid. Thus sulfatide was considered the dominant antigen. We found Sulph I immunostaining, in addition to that in myelinated areas in subpopulations of astrocytes and neurons. Astrocyte Sulph I staining was localized to the cell bodies and in some cases also to the processes. In the cerebellum, some Sulph I-positive astrocytes corresponded to Golgi epithelial cell bodies. We also found Sulph I staining in neuronal cell bodies, which in some neurons was clearly localized to the cytoplasm and in others to the nuclear membrane. Sulph I immunostaining in the PNS was located in the myelin sheath and paranodal end segments. These results demonstrate the expression of sulfatide in cell types other than oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells, showing that sulfatide is not a selective marker for adult oligodendrocyte progenitor cells. Moreover, these findings show that sulfatide is localized also to intracellular compartments and indicate that other roles of sulfatide in astrocytes and neurons, compared to myelin, might be considered.

Abstract
3'-Sulfogalactolipids(SGLs), sulfogalactosyl ceramide (SGC), and sulfogalactoglycerolipid (SGG) bind to the N-terminal ATPase-containing domain of members of the heat shock protein 70 family. We have probed this binding specificity using a series of synthetic positional sulfated or phosphorylated glycolipid analogues, containing either a long-chain bisalkyl hydrocarbon-2-(tetradecyl)hexadecane (B30) or C(18) ceramide (SGC(18)) backbone. By TLC overlay and receptor ELISA, recombinant hsc70 bound ceramide-based glycoconjugates having 3'- or 4'-sulfogalactose glycone moieties and the 4'-sulfogalactose positional isomer conjugated to B30. Hsc70 binding was significantly decreased to the 3'-sulfogalactose conjugated to the long-chain branched alkane. 3'-Sulfoglucose conjugated to B30 was not bound, nor were similarly conjugated di-, tri-, and tetra-sulfated or phosphorylated galactolipids. These results highlight the importance of the position, rather than the number of sulfate esters within the galactose ring. This binding selectivity was shared by the sea urchin hsp70-related sperm receptor. A 3'-SGC-based soluble inhibitor, in which the acyl chain was replaced with an adamantyl group, inhibited binding of hsc70 to both 3'- and 4'-SGC species with an IC(50) of 50 and 75 microM, respectively, indicating a shared sulfogalactose binding site. These studies demonstrate the highly specific nature of hsc70/SGL binding and show, for the first time, that the lipid aglycone can alter the substitution position requirement for glycolipid recognition.

Abstract
Oligodendrocyte precursor cells that develop into myelin-forming cells of the central nervous system (CNS) were cultured from newborn rat brain to study how they proliferate and differentiate in normal conditioning medium, and their cell development was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation and immunocytochemical studies. We have identified A2B5-negative pre-O2A progenitor cells (so-called "type-1" oligodendrocytes) in the secondary cultures on the astrocyte feeder layer. These cells are very small (diameter: 3.5 microns), round, and glossy, and develop into the process-bearing O2A progenitor cells (called "type-2" oligodendrocytes), which also express myelin basic protein (MBP) both in the cell body and in their cell processes. Finally, they develop into mature oligodendrocytes (called "type-3" oligodendrocytes). After MBP expression is elicited in these cells and MBP accumulates in the cell process in the area in contact with the axon, these cells are capable of forming the myelin sheath. Therefore, we examined the mechanism of myelin-sheath formation of "type-3" oligodendrocytes using video time-lapse movies, and demonstrated that these cells initially sent out processes to search for axons several times before the onset of myelination. Then thick filopodia extended towards the axon, and at the same time, the axonal part of neuron moved forward. Finally the ruffling lamellipodial parts wrapped up the axon similarly to a transverse wave with the secured thick filopodial process on the axon acting as scaffolding. These results suggest that our experimental systems are useful in studying normal oligodendrocyte development and their cellular biochemistry, as well as investigating the mechanism of myelin formation by oligodendrocytes.

Abstract
Sulfation and desulfation of total glycosaminoglycans (GAG) as well as of chondroitin sulfates (A + C), dermatan sulfate, and heparan sulfate were quantified in the developing cerebrum and cerebellum of mice by labeling with [35S]sulfate combined with chases started 24 hr after [35S]sulfate injection. In both the developing cerebrum and cerebellum, the rate of biosynthesis of total sulfated GAG was highest shortly after birth (2 days), decreased sharply thereafter, and reached a plateau after 14 days. The biosynthetic activities of chondroitin sulfates and heparan sulfate decreased sharply up to 14 days and retained constant levels afterward. By contrast, the rates of biosynthesis of dermatan sulfate increased up to 14 days. The biodegradation rates of total sulfated GAG as well as of chondroitin sulfates, heparan sulfate, and dermatan sulfate were strongly correlated with the corresponding rates of biosynthesis during the first 2 postnatal weeks. Total and individual sulfated GAG showed high degradation rates resulting in half-life times of a few hours up to 1 1/2 days. Thus sulfated GAG are synthesized in excess and the actual net content seems to be co-regulated to a high degree by lysosomal degradation. In both brain parts, a proportional increase of the sulfated GAG content vs the total GAG content from 40% at birth to 90% at 28 days was observed. Since during development heparan sulfate and dermatan sulfate manifested a relative increase in their daily net synthesis besides a decrease of chondroitin sulfates, a developmental increase of the sulfate groups linked to GAG is evidenced. This molecular differentiation resulting in microenvironmental changes may be of high functional significance.

Abstract
In the 17-day-old myelinating mouse brain the site of sulfogalactosyl glycerolipid synthesis and the kinetics of its subcellular distribution were studied by a 2 h pulse-labeling with [35S]sulfate followed by a 4 h chase of [35S]sulfogalactosyl glycerolipid. At several time intervals after the intraperitoneal [35S]sulfate injection, subcellular fractions of brain were obtained by differential and discontinuous sucrose gradient centrifugation. The crude microsomal membrane fraction (17 500 X g supernatant) was further subfractionated into light myelin, plasma membranes, Golgi vesicles, endoplasmic reticulum membranes and heavy vesicles associated with acid hydrolase activities. The results of the [35S]sulfogalactosyl glycerolipid labeling kinetics indicate that these lipids are synthesized in the Golgi-endoplasmic reticulum complex and transferred in vesicles associated with lysosomes to the myelin membranes. During this transfer part of the sulfogalactosyl glycerolipids appears to be degraded, similarly as described for brain sulfatides. This double function of lysosomes may be part of a general regulation mechanism of brain myelin glycolipid content.
