Nanofiber-Based Delivery of Bioactive Lipids Promotes Pro-regenerative Inflammation and Enhances Muscle Fiber Growth After Volumetric Muscle Loss

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021
Volumetric muscle loss (VML) injuries after extremity trauma results in an important clinical challenge often associated with impaired healing, significant fibrosis, and long-term pain and functional deficits.

Depletion of adipocyte sphingosine kinase 1 leads to cell hypertrophy, impaired lipolysis, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

Journal of Lipid Research, 2020
Sphingolipids have become established participants in the pathogenesis of obesity and its associated maladies. Sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1), which generates S1P, has been shown to increase in liver and adipose of obese humans and mice and to regulate ...

Targeting Ceramides and Adiponectin Receptors in the Islet of Langerhans for Treating Diabetes

Molecules, 2022
Ceramides belong to the sphingolipid family and represent the central hub of the sphingolipid network. In obesity, oversupply of saturated fatty acids including palmitate raises ceramide levels which can be detrimental to cells.

Ceramide Regulates Anti-Tumor Mechanisms of Erianin in Androgen-Sensitive and Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancers

Frontiers in Oncology, 2021
Prostate cancer is the second most prevalent malignancy worldwide. In the early stages, the development of prostate cancer is dependent on androgens. Over time with androgen deprivation therapy, 20% of prostate cancers progress to a castration-resistant ...

Sphingolipids in COPD

European Respiratory Review, 2019
Sphingolipids are a distinct class of lipid molecules widely found in nature, principally as cell membrane constituents. After initial uncertainty about their function, sphingolipids have been increasingly recognised to be metabolically active entities involved in many biological processes, including the control of inflammation. Their role as mediators

Metabolism of HSAN1- and T2DM-associated 1-deoxy-sphingolipids inhibits the migration of fibroblasts

Journal of Lipid Research, 2021
Hereditary sensory neuropathy type 1 (HSAN1) is a rare axonopathy, characterized by a progressive loss of sensation (pain, temperature, and vibration), neuropathic pain, and wound healing defects.

The Emerging Mycotoxin 2-Amino-14, 16-Dimethyloctadecan-3-ol (AOD) Alters Transcriptional Regulation and Sphingolipid Metabolism and Undergoes N-Acylation by HepG2 Cells

Toxins
2-Amino-14,16-dimethyloctadecan-3-ol (AOD) is commonly found in foods contaminated with Fusarium avenaceum, particularly cereals or fruits, and is structurally related to Fusarium mycotoxins (fumonisins) and mammalian sphingoid bases, especially 1 ...

Sphingolipids in Neurodegeneration [PDF]

NeuroMolecular Medicine, 2010
Although the brain contains a high content of sphingolipids, we know relatively little about the roles that sphingolipids play in regulating neural functions. Once regarded only for their structural roles in maintaining the integrity of cellular and sub-cellular compartments, it is now apparent that many sphingolipid species are biologically active and
