Longitudinal analysis reveals altered lipid profiles in murine models of neuropathy, suggesting dietary interventions may enhance myelination.

To investigate how PMP22 overexpression affects lipid changes in the sciatic nerve in murine models of CMT1A.
Utilized C3 and C22 mouse models with varying PMP22 gene copies.
Conducted lipidomic and transcriptomic analyses at three weeks of age.
Assessed levels of membrane-associated and neutral lipids.
Observed decreases in phospholipids and sphingolipids, including significant reductions in ceramide and sphingomyelin.
Noted an increase in cholesteryl esters with a reduction in total cholesterol levels.
Identified shifts towards shorter fatty acid chains in sphingomyelin, indicating altered ceramide synthase expression.

Hellings et al. (2026) studied this question.
