The Physical Properties of Ceramides in Membranes

open access: yesAnnual Review of Biophysics, 2018
Ceramides are sphingolipids containing a sphingosine or a related base, to which a fatty acid is linked through an amide bond. When incorporated into a lipid bilayer, ceramides exhibit a number of properties not shared by almost any other membrane lipid:

Circulating ceramides as biomarkers of cardiovascular disease: Evidence from phenotypic and genomic studies

open access: yesAtherosclerosis, 2021
There is a need for new biomarkers of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD), the main cause of death globally. Ceramides, a class of potent bioactive lipid mediators, have signalling roles in apoptosis, cellular stress and inflammation.

Ceramide-epoxides

Chemistry and Physics of Lipids, 2001
Previously unknown 4,5-epoxy-N-acetyl-sphingosine (1) was synthesized by epoxidation of N-acetyl-sphingosine with 1,1-dimethyldioxirane. A by-product generated by HPLC purification is the tetrahydrofuryl derivative of acetamide (2). Mainly allylic oxidation was observed when natural ceramides were reacted with dimethyldioxirane.

TRAIL and Ceramide

2004
Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a clinically useful cytokine. TRAIL induces apoptosis in a wide variety of transformed cells, but does not cause toxicity to most normal cells. Recent studies show that death receptors (DR4 and DR5), decoy receptors (DcR1 and DcR2), and death inhibitors (FLIP, FAP-1, and IAP) are ...

Ceramide signaling in the gut

Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2022
Sphingolipids are essential lipid components in the intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) along the intestinal tract. They play crucial roles in maintaining barrier integrity, regulating nutrient absorption, and acting as signaling molecules to regulate regeneration and differentiation of intestinal mucosa (Kurek et al., 2012).

Bacterial Infections and Ceramide

2013
Ceramide is released from sphingomyelin primarily by the activity of acid, neutral, or alkaline sphingomyelinases or is synthesized de novo. Several bacteria, viruses, and even parasites infect mammalian cells by exploiting the acid sphingomyelinase or the neutral sphingomyelinase-ceramide system, or both. Sphingomyelinases and ceramide have been shown

Ceramide in Cystic Fibrosis

2013
Cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) molecule; these mutations result in a defect in chloride secretion in epithelial cell layers. The disease is characterized by severe gastrointestinal and pulmonary symptoms, but it is the pulmonary symptoms that dominate the clinical course of the ...
