A real-time high-throughput fluorescence assay for sphingosine kinases
Journal of Lipid Research, 2014 Sphingosine kinases (SphKs), of which there are two isoforms, SphK1 and SphK2, have been implicated in regulation of many important cellular processes. We have developed an assay for monitoring SphK1 and SphK2 activity in real time without the need for ...

Sphingosine kinases, sphingosine 1-phosphate, apoptosis and diseases
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2006 Sphingolipids are ubiquitous components of cell membranes and their metabolites ceramide (Cer), sphingosine (Sph), and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) have important physiological functions, including regulation of cell growth and survival. Cer and Sph are associated with growth arrest and apoptosis.

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

Exosomes from Human Adipose Tissue-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Promote Epidermal Barrier Repair by Inducing de Novo Synthesis of Ceramides in Atopic Dermatitis. [PDF]
, 2020 Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a multifactorial, heterogeneous disease associated with epidermal barrier disruption and intense systemic inflammation. Previously, we showed that exosomes derived from human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASC ...

Sphingosine kinase and sphingosine 1-phosphate in asthma
Bioscience 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.

Sphingosine kinase and sphingosine-1-phosphate in liver pathobiology [PDF]
Critical Reviews in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2017 Over 20 years ago, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) was discovered to be a bioactive signaling molecule. Subsequent studies later identified two related kinases, sphingosine kinase 1 and 2, which are responsible for the phosphorylation of sphingosine to S1P. Many stimuli increase sphingosine kinase activity and S1P production and secretion.
