N,N-Dimethyl-D-erythro-Sphingosine Inhibits Store-Operated Ca2+ Entry in U937 Monocytes

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2008
Calcium is a ubiquitous second messenger that controls a broad range of cellular functions, and store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) is the primary mechanism of regulated Ca2+ entry in non-excitable immunocytes. In this study, we found that N,N-dimethyl-D-

The ceramide synthase 2b gene mediates genomic sensing and regulation of sphingosine levels during zebrafish embryogenesis

open access: yeseLife, 2017
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is generated through phosphorylation of sphingosine by sphingosine kinases (Sphk1 and Sphk2). We show that sphk2 maternal-zygotic mutant zebrafish embryos (sphk2MZ) display early developmental phenotypes, including a delay ...

Sphingosine Kinase 1 Signaling in Breast Cancer: A Potential Target to Tackle Breast Cancer Stem Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021
Sphingosine kinases (SPHKs) are conserved lipid enzymes that catalyze the formation of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) through ATP-dependent phosphorylation of sphingosine.

Glucocorticoids for human skin: New aspects of the mechanism of action [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Topical glucocorticoids have always been considered first-line drugs for inflammatory diseases of the skin and bronchial system. Applied systemically, glucocorticoids are used for severe inflammatory and immunological diseases and the inhibition of ...

Sphingosine Kinase 1 in Cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The role of sphingolipids as bioactive signaling molecules that can regulate cell fate decisions puts them at center stage for cancer treatment and prevention. While ceramide and sphingosine have been established as antigrowth molecules, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) offers a progrowth message to cells.

Sphingosine Kinase 2 Inhibition and Blood Sphingosine 1-Phosphate Levels [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 2015
Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) levels are significantly higher in blood and lymph than in tissues. This S1P concentration difference is necessary for proper lymphocyte egress from secondary lymphoid tissue and to maintain endothelial barrier integrity.

Paradigm of biased PAR1 (protease-activated receptor-1) activation and inhibition in endothelial cells dissected by phosphoproteomics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Thrombin is the key serine protease of the coagulation cascade and mediates cellular responses by activation of PARs (protease-activated receptors). The predominant thrombin receptor is PAR1, and in endothelial cells (ECs), thrombin dynamically regulates

Fingolimod attenuates renal ischemia/reperfusion-induced acute lung injury by inhibiting inflammation and apoptosis and modulating S1P metabolism

open access: yesJournal of International Medical Research, 2021
Objective This study examined whether the immunomodulator fingolimod (FTY720) could alleviate renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced lung injury and explored the potential mechanisms. Methods Renal I/R was established in a rat model, and FTY720 (0.5, 1,
