Mice lacking sialyltransferase ST3Gal-II develop late-onset obesity and insulin resistance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Sialyltransferases are a family of 20 gene products in mice and humans that transfer sialic acid from its activated precursor, CMP-sialic acid, to the terminus of glycoprotein and glycolipid acceptors.

Characterization of genes involved in ceramide metabolism in the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas)

open access: yesBMC Research Notes, 2012
Background The lipid signaling molecule, ceramide, is a key component of the vertebrate stress response, however, there is limited information concerning its role in invertebrate species.

Ceramide Synthase 5 Is Essential to Maintain C16:0-Ceramide Pools and Contributes to the Development of Diet-induced Obesity*

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2016
Ceramides are bioactive sphingolipids, which are composed of sphingoid bases carrying acyl chains of various lengths. Ceramides are synthesized by a family of six ceramide synthases (CerS) in mammals, which produce ceramides with different N-linked acyl ...

Structures of ceramide tetrasaccharides from various sources: uniqueness of rat kidney ceramide tetrasaccharide

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1972
Methylation analysis of ceramide tetrasaccharide isolated from human erythrocytes gave acetates of 2,3,6-tri-O-methylgalactitol and 2,4,6-tri-O-methylgalactitol in a ratio of 1 : 1, and about 50% of the galactose was oxidized by periodate.

Ceramide structural features required to stimulate ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux to apolipoprotein A-I

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2006
Ceramide is a component of the sphingomyelin cycle and a well-established lipid signaling molecule. We recently reported that ceramide specifically increased ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux to apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), a critical process that leads ...

Stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 mediated cell apoptosis in colorectal cancer by promoting ceramide synthesis

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2016
Inhibition of stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) has been found to effectively suppress tumor cell proliferation and induce apoptosis in numerous neoplastic lesions.

Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptors: do they have a therapeutic potential in cardiac fibrosis? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive lipid that is characterized by a peculiar mechanism of action. In fact, S1P, which is produced inside the cell, can act as an intracellular mediator, whereas after its export outside the cell, it can act as ...

The role of de novo ceramide synthesis in the mechanism of action of the tricyclic xanthate D609

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2004
The cytotoxic effects of several chemotherapeutic drugs have been linked to elevated de novo ceramide biosynthesis. However, the relationship between the intracellular site(s) of ceramide accumulation and cytotoxicity is poorly understood.

Role of ceramide-to-dihydroceramide ratios for insulin resistance and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in humans

open access: yesBMJ Open Diabetes Research & Care, 2020
Introduction Sphingolipid accumulation has been linked to obesity, type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). A recent study showed that depletion of dihydroceramide desaturase-1 (DES-1) in adipose and/or liver tissue decreases ...
