Sphingolipids and cholesterol modulate membrane susceptibility to cytosolic phospholipase A2

Journal of Lipid Research, 2000
Modulation of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) activity by sphingomyelin (SPH), ceramide (Cer), and cholesterol (Chol) was investigated in CHO-2B cells activated by the calcium ionophore A23187 and epinephrine.

Different rates of flux through the biosynthetic pathway for long-chain versus very-long-chain sphingolipids

Journal of Lipid Research, 2020
The backbone of all sphingolipids (SLs) is a sphingoid long-chain base (LCB) to which a fatty acid is N-acylated. Considerable variability exists in the chain length and degree of saturation of both of these hydrophobic chains, and recent work has ...

Essential lipid autacoids rewire mitochondrial energy efficiency in metabolic dysfunction‐associated fatty liver disease

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
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 impact of sphingomyelin on the pathophysiology and treatment response to olipudase alfa in acid sphingomyelinase deficiency

Genetics in Medicine Open
Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD) is a rare progressive genetic disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the SMPD1 gene causing low or absent activity of the enzyme acid sphingomyelinase, resulting in subsequent accumulation of its substrate ...

The sphingomyelin biosynthetic pathway.

, 2013
The precursors of sphingomyelin are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum with subsequent transfer of ceramide to the Golgi apparatus, the site of the final step in sphingomyelin biosynthesis.

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?

Quantitative analysis of ceramide molecular species by high performance liquid chromatography

Journal of Lipid Research, 1998
A method was developed for quantitative analysis of molecular species of ceramide (N-acyl-sphingosine) and dihydroceramide (N-acyl sphinganine) by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Characterization of the small molecule ARC39, a direct and specific inhibitor of acid sphingomyelinase in vitro[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2020
Inhibition of acid sphingomyelinase (ASM), a lysosomal enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin into ceramide and phosphorylcholine, may serve as an investigational tool or a therapeutic intervention to control many diseases.
