Nanoflow-nanospray mass spectrometry metabolomics reveals disruption of the urinary metabolite profiles of HIV-positive patients on combination antiretroviral therapy [PDF]
Background: The use of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) has substantially improved the outlook for patients with HIV infection. However, lifelong exposure to cART is also associated with adverse metabolic changes and an enhanced risk of renal ...

HEPES in Cell Culture Alters the Multi‐Omics Profile Exhibited by Gaucher Disease Fibroblasts
ABSTRACT Lysosomal function can be affected by components in cell culture. This in turn may influence cellular metabolism and, consequently, research and diagnostics outcomes. One such component is the commonly used pH buffer 4‐(2‐hydroxyethyl)‐1‐piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES).

Sphingolipids are vital components of cell membranes. Metabolic disruptions of sphingolipids, including ceramide and sphingosine‐1‐phosphate, are linked to neurological disorders. This article summarizes the classification, structure, and metabolic processes of sphingolipids, and the physiological and pathological effects of sphingolipid metabolism and

Nogo-B regulates endothelial sphingolipid homeostasis to control vascular function and blood pressure. [PDF]
Endothelial dysfunction is a critical factor in many cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension. Although lipid signaling has been implicated in endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular disease, specific molecular mechanisms are poorly understood.

Novel sphingosine-containing analogues selectively inhibit sphingosine kinase (SK) isozymes, induce SK1 proteasomal degradation and reduce DNA synthesis in human pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells [PDF]
Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is involved in hyper-proliferative diseases such as cancer and pulmonary arterial hypertension. We have synthesized inhibitors that are selective for the two isoforms of sphingosine kinase (SK1 and SK2) that catalyze the ...
