Trivalent chromium induces autophagy by activating sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 2 and increasing cellular ceramide levels in renal HK2 cells

open access: yesMolecular Carcinogenesis, 2017
In this study, we examined the role of autophagy in the initiation of lipid increases in renal epithelial HK2 cells. We found that trivalent chromium [Cr(III)] induced autophagy by activating sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 2 (SMPD2). SMPD2 increases levels of ceramide and other lipids.

Sphingomyelin Phosphodiesterase Acid-Like 3b is Essential for Toll-Like Receptor 3 Signaling in Human Podocytes

Journal of Membrane Biology, 2021
Recent studies have revealed the importance of cell membrane stability in normal cell function. Sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase acid-like 3b (SMPDL3b), a lipid modifying enzyme that converts sphingomyelin to ceramide in the cell membrane, is expressed in macrophages and regulates Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 signaling by altering cell membrane fluidity ...

Local Regulation of Tooth Mineralization by Sphingomyelin Phosphodiesterase 3

Journal of Dental Research, 2013
Sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 3 ( Smpd3) encodes a membrane-bound enzyme that cleaves sphingomyelin to generate several bioactive metabolites. A recessive mutation called fragilitas ossium ( fro) in the Smpd3 gene leads to impaired mineralization of bone and tooth extracellular matrix (ECM) in fro/fro mice.

Podocyte sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase acid-like 3b decreases among children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome

Clinical and Experimental Nephrology, 2020
Sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase acid-like 3b (SMPDL-3b), a regulator of the cytoskeleton, is expressed on podocytes. Recent reports present evidence that it is directly targeted by rituximab in the treatment of intractable nephrotic syndrome. However, the implications of SMPDL-3b for treatment of paediatric-onset idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS ...

Sphingomyelin Phosphodiesterase 3 Enhances Cytodifferentiation of Periodontal Ligament Cells

Journal of Dental Research, 2016
Sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 3 ( Smpd3), which encodes neutral sphingomyelinase 2 (nSMase2), is a key molecule for skeletal development as well as for the cytodifferentiation of odontoblasts and alveolar bone. However, the effects of nSMase2 on the cytodifferentiation of periodontal ligament (PDL) cells are still unclear.

A deletion in the gene encoding sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 3 (Smpd3) results in osteogenesis and dentinogenesis imperfecta in the mouse

Nature Genetics, 2005
The mouse mutation fragilitas ossium (fro) leads to a syndrome of severe osteogenesis and dentinogenesis imperfecta with no detectable collagen defect. Positional cloning of the locus identified a deletion in the gene encoding neutral sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 3 (Smpd3) that led to complete loss of enzymatic activity.

Compound heterozygosity at the sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase-1 (SMPD1) gene is associated with low HDL cholesterol

Human Genetics, 2003
Type A and B forms of Niemann-Pick disease (NPD) are lipid storage disorders caused by deficient activity of the enzyme acid sphingomyelinase (aSMase) and the resulting accumulation of sphingomyelin in tissues. In the present study, we investigated two family members who had been diagnosed with Type B NPD and who had a severe decrease in plasma high ...
