Obesity-induced changes in lipid mediators persist after weight loss. [PDF]

, 2017
BackgroundObesity induces significant changes in lipid mediators, however, the extent to which these changes persist after weight loss has not been investigated.Subjects/methodsWe fed C57BL6 mice a high-fat diet to generate obesity and then switched the ...

Aging-dependent mitochondrial dysfunction mediated by ceramide signaling inhibits antitumor T cell response

Cell Reports, 2021
Summary: We lack a mechanistic understanding of aging-mediated changes in mitochondrial bioenergetics and lipid metabolism that affect T cell function.

Open field study of some Zea mays hybrids, lipid compounds and fumonisins accumulation [PDF]

, 2015
Lipid molecules are increasingly recognized as signals exchanged by organisms interacting in pathogenic and/or symbiotic ways. Some classes of lipids actively determine the fate of the interactions.

AMPK inhibitor Compound C stimulates ceramide production and promotes Bax redistribution and apoptosis in MCF7 breast carcinoma cells

Journal of Lipid Research, 2009
Compound C is commonly used as an inhibitor of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which serves as a key energy sensor in cells. In this study, we found that Compound C treatment of MCF7 cells led to Bax redistribution from the cytoplasm to mitochondria

Ceramide remodeling and risk of cardiovascular events and mortality [PDF]

, 2018
BackgroundRecent studies suggest that circulating concentrations of specific ceramide species may be associated with coronary risk and mortality. We sought to determine the relations between the most abundant plasma ceramide species of differing acyl ...

All members in the sphingomyelin synthase gene family have ceramide phosphoethanolamine synthase activity[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2015
Sphingomyelin synthase-related protein (SMSr) synthesizes the sphingomyelin analog ceramide phosphoethanolamine (CPE) in cells. Previous cell studies indicated that SMSr is involved in ceramide homeostasis and is crucial for cell function.

The therapeutic aspects of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) for cancer and their development: from nature to laboratory [PDF]

, 2016
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a group of neuromodulatory lipids and their receptors, which are widely distributed in mammalian tissues. ECS regulates various cardiovascular, nervous, and immune system functions inside cells.

Modulation of Ceramide Synthase Activity via Dimerization [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2012
Ceramide, the backbone of all sphingolipids, is synthesized by a family of ceramide synthases (CerS) that each use acyl-CoAs of defined chain length for N-acylation of the sphingoid long chain base. CerS mRNA expression and enzymatic activity do not always correlate with the sphingolipid acyl chain composition of a particular tissue, suggesting post ...

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. ...

The role of lipid and lipoprotein metabolism in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease [PDF]

, 2017
Due to the epidemic of obesity across the world, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become one of the most prevalent chronic liver disorders in children and adolescents.
