A commensal protozoan exacerbates acetaminophen-induced liver injury by producing free sphingosine [PDF]

open access: yesGut Microbes
The mechanisms by which the gut microbiota influence host disease outcomes remain poorly understood. As an integral yet overlooked component of this microbial community, the role of gut commensal protists in host physiology and pathology is even more ...

Nicotinamide riboside and pterostilbene reduces markers of hepatic inflammation in NAFLD: A double‐blind, placebo‐controlled clinical trial

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
NRPT 1X reduces ALT and ceramide 14:0 in 65% of subjects as compared to only 28% in the placebo group. Abstract Background and Aims The prevalence of NAFLD is increasing globally and on a path to becoming the most frequent cause of chronic liver disease. Strategies for the prevention and treatment of NAFLD are urgently needed.

Sphingosine Kinase and Sphingosine 1-Phosphate in Cardioprotection [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 2009
Activation of sphingosine kinase/sphingosine 1-phosphate-mediated signaling has emerged as a critical cardioprotective pathway in response to acute ischemia/reperfusion injury. Application of exogenous sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) in cultured cardiac myocytes subjected to hypoxia or treatment of isolated hearts either before ischemia or at the onset ...

Interaction of microRNAs with sphingosine kinases, sphingosine-1 phosphate, and sphingosine-1 phosphate receptors in cancer [PDF]

open access: yesDiscover Oncology, 2021
AbstractSphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), a pleiotropic lipid mediator, participates in various cellular processes during tumorigenesis, including cell proliferation, survival, drug resistance, metastasis, and angiogenesis. S1P is formed by two sphingosine kinases (SphKs), SphK1 and SphK2. The intracellularly produced S1P is delivered to the extracellular

Sphingosine kinase and sphingosine 1-phosphate in asthma

open access: yesBioscience Reports, 2010
Sphingolipids are amphiphatic molecules ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cell membranes. Initially characterized as structural components of cell membranes, sphingolipids have emerged as sources of important signalling molecules over the past decade.
