Intensive research over the past 2 decades has implicated ceramide in the regulation of several cell responses. However, emerging evidence points to dramatic complexities in ceramide metabolism and structure that defy the prevailing unifying hypothesis on ceramide function that is based on the understanding of ceramide as a single entity.

Ceramide and ceramide 1-phosphate in health and disease [PDF]
AbstractSphingolipids are essential components of cell membranes, and many of them regulate vital cell functions. In particular, ceramide plays crucial roles in cell signaling processes. Two major actions of ceramides are the promotion of cell cycle arrest and the induction of apoptosis.

Increased liver content of DHA‐derived small lipid autacoids (i.e resolvin D1 and maresin 1) associates with enhanced mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, fatty acid β‐oxidation and bioenergetic metabolic flux. These features provide hepatic protection from steatotic, pro‐inflammatory and fibrogenic insults.

The role of SMLR1 in lipid metabolism (high fat + cholesterol diet in mice) Abstract Background and Aims The assembly and secretion of VLDL from the liver, a pathway that affects hepatic and plasma lipids, remains incompletely understood. We set out to identify players in the VLDL biogenesis pathway by identifying genes that are co‐expressed with the ...

Ceramide in the prostate [PDF]
The nomenclature for the serine/threonine protein phosphatases was established by Professor Sir Philip Cohen over 30 years ago. (1) At that time protein phosphatase 1 was known to have two small inhibitory proteins (I-1 and I-2) and be regulated by sub-cellular location whereas no protein inhibitor had yet been discovered for the related multi-subunit ...

NRPT 1X reduces ALT and ceramide 14:0 in 65% of subjects as compared to only 28% in the placebo group. Abstract Background and Aims The prevalence of NAFLD is increasing globally and on a path to becoming the most frequent cause of chronic liver disease. Strategies for the prevention and treatment of NAFLD are urgently needed.

Ceramide Kinase and Ceramide‐1‐Phosphate
It has been over a decade since the sphingolipid ceramide-1-phosphate (C1P) was described. Until recently, only sparse reports on possible biological functions for this lipid have been published. A large number of reports have now surfaced demonstrating distinct biological mechanisms regulated by C1P produced from ceramide kinase (CERK).

Ceramides and ceramide synthases in cancer: Focus on apoptosis and autophagy
Different studies corroborate a role for ceramide synthases and their downstream products, ceramides, in modulation of apoptosis and autophagy in the context of cancer. These mechanisms of regulation, however, appear to be context dependent in terms of ceramides' fatty acid chain length, subcellular localization, and the presence or absence of their ...

Cyclopropene fatty acids have been made that allow the study of fatty acid uptake in complex mixtures of immune cells with single cell resolution and combined with metabolic and proteomic analysis so that for the first time nutrient uptake can be correlated to the phenotype of single immune cell.

Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative
