Effect of D-serine on gene expression in Neuro2a cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Serine metabolism provides essential metabolites for cellular growth and proliferation, and also produces neurotransmitters. However, how serine metabolism coordinates with functional development of neurons remains unclear. We report neurotransmitter D-serine inhibit growth of immature cells. Metabolomic analysis of neural progenitors revealed that D-serine decreases glycine synthesis thereby diminishes one-carbon metabolism, in which L-serine is a crucial carbon donor. D-serine inhibits one-carbon metabolism by competing transport of cytosolic L-serine to mitochondria, which restrains proliferation and triggers apoptosis of neural progenitors as well as neural tumor cells, but not mature neurons, in vitro and ex vivo. This RNA-seq data supports the idea that D-serine inhibits polarization and growth/proliferation of immature neurons and further indicate that immature neurons counteracts D-serine-induced cellular stress through enhancing mitochondrial function, including energy synthesis.
