Neuronal SphK1 acetylates COX2 and contributes to pathogenesis in a model of Alzheimer’s Disease

Sphingosine kinase (SphK) converts sphingosine into lipids, and is implicated in inflammation. Here the authors show that SphK1 functions as an acetyltransferase, regulates microglial phagocytosis and is reduced in a model of Alzheimer’s Disease, such that its restoration ameliorates pathology
