Inhibition of acid sphingomyelinase disrupts LYNUS signaling and triggers autophagy

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2018
Activation of the lysosomal ceramide-producing enzyme, acid sphingomyelinase (ASM), by various stresses is centrally involved in cell death and has been implicated in autophagy.

Gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry of synthetic ceramides

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1969
Two series of ceramides with either sphingosine (sphing-4-enine) or sphinganine as base and with one of the saturated fatty acids C16, C18, C20, C22, C24, C26, or oleic acid were analyzed as the 1,3-di-O-trimethylsilyl ether derivatives by gas ...

Molecular Targeting of Acid Ceramidase in Glioblastoma: A Review of Its Role, Potential Treatment, and Challenges

open access: yesPharmaceutics, 2018
Glioblastoma is the most common, malignant primary tumor of the central nervous system. The average prognosis for life expectancy after diagnosis, with the triad of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, is less than 1.5 years.

Targeting the sphingosine kinase/sphingosine 1-phosphate pathway in disease: Review of sphingosine kinase inhibitors [PDF]

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2013
Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is an important bioactive sphingolipid metabolite that has been implicated in numerous physiological and cellular processes. Not only does S1P play a structural role in cells by defining the components of the plasma membrane, but in the last 20 years it has been implicated in various significant cell signaling pathways and

PGC-1α improves glucose homeostasis in skeletal muscle in an activity-dependent manner [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Metabolic disorders are a major burden for public health systems globally. Regular exercise improves metabolic health. Pharmacological targeting of exercise mediators might facilitate physical activity or amplify the effects of exercise.

Drugging Sphingosine Kinases [PDF]

open access: yesACS Chemical Biology, 2014
The transfer of the gamma phosphate from ATP to sphingosine (Sph) to generate a small signaling molecule, sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), is catalyzed by sphingosine kinases (SphK), which exist as two isoforms, SphK1 and SphK2. SphK is a key regulator of S1P and the S1P:Sph/ceramide ratio.

A novel mode of action of the putative sphingosine kinase inhibitor 2-(p-hydroxyanilino)-4-(p-chlorophenyl) thiazole (SKI II): induction of lysosomal sphingosine kinase 1 degradation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Sphingosine kinase 1 (SK1) is a key enzyme in the generation of sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) which critically regulates a variety of important cell responses such as proliferation and migration.

Sphingosine 1-phosphate modulates antigen capture by murine langerhans cells via the S1P2 receptor subtype

open access: yes, 2012
Dendritic cells (DCs) play a pivotal role in the development of cutaneous contact hypersensitivity (CHS) and atopic dermatitis as they capture and process antigen and present it to T lymphocytes in the lymphoid organs.
