Sigma-1 Receptor (S1R) Interaction with Cholesterol: Mechanisms of S1R Activation and Its Role in Neurodegenerative Diseases

Abstract: The sigma-1 receptor (S1R) is a 223 amino acid-long transmembrane endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein. The S1R modulates the activity of multiple effector proteins, but its signaling functions are poorly understood. S1R is associated with cholesterol, and in our recent studies we demonstrated that S1R association with cholesterol induces the formation of S1R clusters. We propose that these S1R-cholesterol interactions enable the formation of cholesterol-enriched microdomains in the ER membrane. We hypothesize t… Show more

“…Induction of the ER stress using TUNI can lead to calcium deletion inside the ER that disrupts calcium communication between the ER and mitochondria [ 60 ]. Modulation of calcium communication between ER and mitochondria using sigma-1 receptor activators improves mitochondrial function [ 61 , 62 ]. Thus, TUNI treatment may impair mitochondrial function through interruption of calcium signaling between ER and mitochondria.…”

“…Knockout of Sig-1R in hippocampal neurons results in shorter and smaller mitochondria and also causes a decrease in MtMP and release of cytochrome c, which leads to disruption of cytoskeletal networks loss of mature dendritic spines, and formation of immature dendritic spines [63,64]. Genetic deletion of σ-1R also impairs MAM stability and leads to a decreased number of MERC [65]. A reduced amount of σ-1R has been observed postmortem in the hippocampi of AD patients, and certain σ-1R gene polymorphisms coexist with the well-known risk factor Alzheimer's disease apolipoprotein ε4 (APOE ε4) [66].…”

“…S1R associates with cholesterol through an intracellular domain. Vladimir Zhemkov et al found recently that the association of S1R with cholesterol induces the formation of cholesterol-enriched microdomains in the ER membrane that could retain secreted and signaling proteins [84]. Zhemkov et al proposed that S1R agonists allow the disassembly of cholesterol-enriched microdomains and the release of accumulated proteins such as ion channels, signaling receptors, and ER-trophic factors [85,86].…”
