Abstract

- Intestinal alkaline sphingomyelinase (Alk-SMase) and neutral ceramidase may catalyze the hydrolysis of endogenous sphin-gomyelin (SM) and milk SM in human-milk fed infants. The enzymes generate sphingolipid metabolites that may influence gut maturation. Alk-SMase also inactivates platelet-activating factor (PAF) that is involved in the pathogenesis of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). We examined whether the two enzymes are expressed in both preterm and term infants and analyzed Alk-SMase, neutral ceramidase, SM, and sphingolipid metabolites in meconium. Meconium was collected from 46 preterm (gestational ages 23-36 wk) and 38 term infants (gestational ages 37-42 wk) and analyzed for Alk-SMase using C-14-choline-labeled SM and for neutral ceramidase using C-14-octanoyl-sphingosine as substrates. Molecular species of SM, ceramide, and sphingosine were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography mass spectroscopy. Meconium contained significant levels of Alk-SMase and ceramidase at all gestational ages. It also contained 16-24 carbon molecular species of SM, palmitoyl-and stearoyl-sphingosine, and sphingosine. There were positive correlations between levels of SM and ceramide and between ceramide and sphingosine levels. In conclusion, Alk-SMase and ceramidase are expressed in the gut of both preterm and term newborn infants and may generate bioactive sphingolipid messengers.
