CD28 signals through acidic sphingomyelinase.

open access: yes, 1995
T cell receptor recognition of antigen can lead either to T lymphocyte differentiation and proliferation or to a state of unresponsiveness, which is dependent on whether appropriate costimulatory signals are provided to the mature T cell.

Extracellular Vesicles: Classification, Biological Functions, Diseases, and Therapeutic Opportunities

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
• EV content maintains cellular homeostasis and is involved in several disease onset and progression. • miRNA export in EVs depends on: RNA‐binding proteins recognizing motif sequences and on epitranscriptomic modifications. • The disclosure of delivery mechanisms is crucial for developing personalized EV‐based therapeutic tools. ABSTRACT Extracellular

Ceramides and sphingomyelinases in senile plaques

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2014
The senile plaque is a hallmark lesion of Alzheimer disease (AD). We compared, without a priori, the lipidome of the senile plaques and of the adjacent plaque-free neuropil. The analysis by liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry revealed that laser microdissected senile plaques were enriched in saturated ceramides ...

Curating the Fetal Genome: Experience of the ClinGen Prenatal Gene Curation Expert Panel (GCEP)

open access: yesPrenatal Diagnosis, Volume 46, Issue 11, Page 1703-1710, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Expert prenatal focused gene‐disease curation is necessary to accurately inform clinical care in the setting of rapidly expanding prenatal genomic sequencing. Methods An international Prenatal Gene Curation Expert Panel assembled and systematically reviewed genes asserted to be associated with prenatal hydrops, stillbirth, or severe ...

Acid sphingomyelinase activity triggers microparticle release from glial cells

open access: yes, 2009
We have earlier shown that microglia, the immune cells of the CNS, release microparticles from cell plasma membrane after ATP stimulation. These vesicles contain and release IL-1beta, a crucial cytokine in CNS inflammatory events.

Conformational changes of apoB-100 in SMase-modified LDL mediate formation of large aggregates at acidic pH[S]

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2012
During atherogenesis, the extracellular pH of atherosclerotic lesions decreases. Here, we examined the effect of low, but physiologically plausible pH on aggregation of modified LDL, one of the key processes in atherogenesis.

Association Between the Root Canal Microbiome and Apical Lesion Size: An Observational Shotgun Metagenomic Study

open access: yesInternational Endodontic Journal, Volume 59, Issue 10, Page 2211-2222, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The aim was to characterize the taxonomic and functional composition of the microbiome involved in primary endodontic infections and to evaluate their association with the periapical lesion size using shotgun metagenomic sequencing. Methodology Samples from primary root canal infections diagnosed with apical periodontitis were analysed ...

Sphingomyelinase has an insulin-like effect on glucose transporter translocation in adipocytes

open access: yes, 1998
Rat epididymal adipocytes were incubated with 0, 0.1, and 1 mU sphingomyelinase/ml for 30 or 60 min, and glucose uptake and GLUT-1 and GLUT-4 translocation were assessed. Adipocytes exposed to 1 mU sphingomyelinase/ml exhibited a 173% increase in glucose

Absorption and lipoprotein transport of sphingomyelin

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2006
Dietary sphingomyelin (SM) is hydrolyzed by intestinal alkaline sphingomyelinase and neutral ceramidase to sphingosine, which is absorbed and converted to palmitic acid and acylated into chylomicron triglycerides (TGs).
