Cellular signalling by sphingosine kinase and sphingosine 1‐phosphate [PDF]
AbstractSphingosine kinases, through the formation of the bioactive phospholipid sphingosine 1‐phosphate, have been implicated in a diverse range of cellular processes, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, calcium homeostasis, angiogenesis and vascular maturation. The last few years have seen a number of significant advances in understanding of the

Sphingosine-1-phosphate signaling and the gut-liver axis in liver diseases
The liver is the central organ involved in lipid metabolism and the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is responsible for nutrient absorption and partitioning. Obesity, dyslipidemia and metabolic disorders are of increasing public health concern worldwide, and ...

The therapeutic potential of the filarial nematode-derived immunodulator, ES-62 in inflammatory disease [PDF]
The dramatic recent rise in the incidence of allergic or autoimmune inflammatory diseases in the West has been proposed to reflect the lack of appropriate priming of the immune response by infectious agents such as parasitic worms during childhood ...

Sphingosine kinase 1 in breast cancer: A new molecular marker and a therapy target [PDF]
It is now well-established that sphingosine kinase 1 (SK1) plays a significant role in breast cancer development, progression, and spread, whereas SK1 knockdown can reverse these processes.

Loss of sphingosine kinase 1/S1P signaling impairs cell growth and survival of neurons and progenitor cells in the developing sensory ganglia. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Lysophospholipids such as lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) are important signaling molecules that can regulate a wide range of cellular responses. We discovered that Sphingosine kinase 1 (Sphk1), a key enzyme that

Sphingosine-1-phosphate promotes the persistence of activated CD4 T cells in inflamed sites [PDF]
Inflammation can be protective or pathogenic depending on context and timeframe. Acute inflammation, including the accumulation of CD4 T cells, accompanies protective immune responses to pathogens, but the presence of activated CD4 T cells at sites of ...
