Ceramide-1-phosphate protection of cochlear hair cells against cisplatin ototoxicity
Toxicology Reports, 2016 Background: Ceramide-1-phosphate (C1P) is a phosphorylated form of ceramide. While ceramide is known to be an inducer of apoptosis of cochlear hair cells in cisplatin ototoxicity, little is known about the function of C1P in cochlear diseases.

Mitochondrial ceramide-rich macrodomains functionalize Bax upon irradiation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND:Evidence indicates that Bax functions as a "lipidic" pore to regulate mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP), the apoptosis commitment step, through unknown membrane elements.

Acid Sphingomyelinase Regulates the Localization and Trafficking of Palmitoylated Proteins [PDF]
, 2019 In human, loss of Acid Sphingomeylinase (ASM/SMPD1) causes Niemann-Pick Disease, type A. ASM hydrolyzes sphingomyelins to produce ceramides but protein targets of ASM remain largely unclear. ...

, 2019 In eukaryotic cells, the trans-Golgi network (TGN) serves as a platform for secretory cargo sorting and trafficking. In recent years, it has become evident that a complex network of lipid-lipid and lipid-protein interactions contributes to these key ...

The Unfolded Protein Response and its potential role in Huntington's disease [PDF]
, 2012 Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive, neurodegenerative disease with fatal outcome. Although the disease-causing gene (huntingtin) has been known for some time, the exact cause of neuronal cell death is still unknown.

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

Influence of the sebaceous gland density on the stratum corneum lipidome [PDF]
, 2018 The skin surface lipids (SSL) result from the blending of sebaceous and epidermal lipids, which derive from the sebaceous gland (SG) secretion and the permeability barrier of the stratum corneum (SC), respectively.

Glucolipotoxicity impairs ceramide flow from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus in INS-1 β-cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Accumulating evidence suggests that glucolipotoxicity, arising from the combined actions of elevated glucose and free fatty acid levels, acts as a key pathogenic component in type II diabetes, contributing to β-cell dysfunction and death.

Lamellar and inverse micellar structures of skin lipids: Effect of templating [PDF]
, 2014 The outermost layer of skin, the stratum corneum (SC), comprises rigid corneocytes in a layered lipid matrix. Using atomistic simulations we find that the equilibrium phase of the SC lipids is inverse micellar.
