Reduction of sphingomyelinase activity associated with progranulin deficiency and frontotemporal dementia [PDF]
Neurobiology of DiseaseLoss-of-function mutations affecting the lysosomal protein progranulin are a leading cause of frontotemporal dementia. Progranulin mutations cause abnormalities in lysosomal lipid processing, particularly of sphingolipids, major components of neural cell

Ceramide Metabolism and Parkinson’s Disease—Therapeutic Targets
Biomolecules, 2021 Ceramide is a bioactive sphingolipid involved in numerous cellular processes. In addition to being the precursor of complex sphingolipids, ceramides can act as second messengers, especially when they are generated at the plasma membrane of cells.

Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency enhances myelin repair after acute and chronic demyelination. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The cuprizone animal model, also known as the toxic demyelination model, is a well-reproducible model of demyelination- and remyelination in mice, and has been useful in studying important aspect of human demyelinating diseases, including multiple ...

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Melatonin Acts as an Antidepressant by Inhibition of the Acid Sphingomyelinase/Ceramide System
Neurosignals, 2016 Background: Melatonin has been shown to have antidepressive effects. We tested whether melatonin inhibits the acid sphingomyelinase/ceramide system and mediates its antidepressive effects via inhibition of the acid sphingomyelinase and a reduction of ...

Biomolecules, 2023 Acid ceramidase (AC) is a lysosomal enzyme required to hydrolyze ceramide to sphingosine by the removal of the fatty acid moiety. An inherited deficiency in this activity results in two disorders, Farber Lipogranulomatosis and spinal muscular atrophy ...

Effect of Sphingomyelinase-Treated LDLs on HUVECs
Molecules, 2023 Low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) exert a key role in the transport of esterified cholesterol to tissues. Among the atherogenic modifications of LDLs, the oxidative modification has been mainly investigated as a major risk factor for accelerating ...
