Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an incurable neurodegenerative disease characterized by selective degeneration of motor neurons of the spinal cord and motor cortex and brain stem. The key features of the course of this disease are excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, neuro-inflammatory and immune reactions. Recently, the mechanisms of programmed cell death (apoptosis), which may be responsible for the degeneration of motor neurons in this disease, have been intensively studied. In this regard, sphingolipids, which are the most important sources of secondary messengers that transmit cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis signals, and are involved in the development of neuroinflammatory and immune responses, are of particular interest in the context of ALS pathogenesis. The review provides information from domestic and foreign authors on the involvement of various sphingolipids (sphingomyelins, ceramides, sphingosine, sphinganin, sphingosine-1-phosphate, galactosylceramides, glucosylceramides, gangliosides) in the development of pro-inflammatory reactions and apoptosis of motor neurons in ALS. The authors discuss the prospects of using new drugs that control the metabolism of sphingolipids for the treatment of ALS.
