| Research Abstract |
In order to understand the relationship between peroxisomal dysfunction and clinical manifestations of peroxisomal disorders, the effect of tioridazine, a peroxisomal -oxidation antagonist, on C-6 glial cell differentiation, membrane lipid composition and membrane fluidity were examined. 2'3'cyclic nucleotide 3'phophohydrase (CNP) is considered to be a membrane associated enzyme closely related to myelination. In our study, induction of CNP was inhibited lignoceric acid (C24 : 0) to behenic acid (C22 : 0) in cell membrane lipids, which gave evidence that thioridazine caused impaired differenciation of glial stem cell system. Membrane fluidity of C-6 glial cells was exzamined using a fluorescent probe 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hezatriene (DPH). DPH anisotropy value was decreased in the glial cells treated with thioridazine. From these results, it is implicated that the alteration of the membrane lipid composition caused by thioridazine would have3 some effect on the differentiation of glial cells via the changes in membrane properies.
