Neutral sphingomyelinase 2 (nSMase2) is the primary neutral sphingomyelinase isoform activated by tumour necrosis factor-α in MCF-7 cells [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 2011
Activation of N-SMase (neutral sphingomyelinase) is an established part of the response of cytokines such as TNF (tumour necrosis factor)-α. However, it remains unclear which of the currently cloned N-SMase isoforms (nSMase1, nSMase2 and nSMase3) are ...

Allosteric Inhibition of Neutral Sphingomyelinase 2 (nSMase2) by DPTIP: From Antiflaviviral Activity to Deciphering Its Binding Site through In Silico Studies and Experimental Validation

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
Flavivirus comprises globally emerging and re-emerging pathogens such as Zika virus (ZIKV), Dengue virus (DENV), and West Nile virus (WNV), among others.

Neutral Sphingomyelinase 2 (nSMase2) Is a Phosphoprotein Regulated by Calcineurin (PP2B)* [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2010
We previously reported that exposure of human airway epithelial cells to oxidative stress increased ceramide generation via specific activation of neutral sphingomyelinase2 (nSMase2). Here we show that nSMase2 is a phosphoprotein exclusively phosphorylated at serine residues.

Nipping disease in the bud: nSMase2 inhibitors as therapeutics in extracellular vesicle-mediated diseases

Drug Discovery Today, 2021
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are indispensable mediators of intercellular communication, but they can also assume a nefarious role by ferrying pathological cargo that contributes to neurological, oncological, inflammatory, and infectious diseases. The canonical pathway for generating EVs involves the endosomal sorting complexes required for transport ...

nSMase2 activation and trafficking are modulated by oxidative stress to induce apoptosis [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2006
We have previously shown that accumulation of ceramide, triggered by hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), induces apoptosis of human airway epithelial (HAE) cells. Under oxidant exposure, a lung sphingomyelinase (SMase) is activated and displays continued ceramide generation and pro-apoptotic signaling, thus leading to the pathological apoptosis that causes ...

nSMase2 inhibition reduces tau propagation in Alzheimer’s Disease mouse models

Alzheimer's & Dementia, 2022
AbstractBackgroundAlzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia worldwide and is characterized by progressive neurodegeneration and cognitive decline, putatively driven by the accumulation Amyloid‐b and hyperphosphorylated Tau. Clinical trial successes focusing on reducing Amyloid‐b plaque levels in patient brains have been modest ...

Abstract A59: A tumor supressor role for nSMase2 in triple negative breast cancer

Cancer Immunology Research, 2022
Abstract PURPOSEIn this study, we assess a putative tumor suppressor role for neutral sphingomyelinase-2 (nSMase2) in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and determine if nSMase2 effects are through cell intrinsic or extrinsic mechanisms.

α2,6-Sialylation promotes hepatocellular carcinoma cells migration and invasion via enhancement of nSmase2-mediated exosomal miRNA sorting

Journal of Physiology and Biochemistry, 2022
Exosomes have a critical role in the intercellular communication and metastatic progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Recently, our group showed that α2, 6-sialylation played an important role in the proliferation- and migration-promoting effects of cancer-derived exosomes. However, the molecular basis remains elusive.

Endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated inhibition of NSMase2 elevates plasma membrane cholesterol and attenuates NO production in endothelial cells

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2012
Chronic exposure of blood vessels to cardiovascular risk factors such as free fatty acids, LDL-cholesterol, homocysteine and hyperglycemia can give rise to endothelial dysfunction, partially due to decreased synthesis and bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO). Many of these same risk factors have been shown to induce endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in

nSMase2-mediated exosome secretion shapes the tumor microenvironment to immunologically support pancreatic cancer

ABSTRACT The pleiotropic roles of nSMase2-generated ceramide include regulation of intracellular ceramide signaling and exosome biogenesis. We investigated the effects of eliminating nSMase2 on early and advanced PDA, including its influence on the microenvironment. Employing the KPC mouse model of pancreatic cancer, we demonstrate that
