Sphingosine kinase regulation and cardioprotection [PDF]

open access: yesCardiovascular Research, 2008
Activation of sphingosine kinase/sphingosine-1-phosphate (SK/S1P)-mediated signalling has been recognized as critical for cardioprotection in response to acute ischaemia/reperfusion injury. Incubation of S1P with cultured cardiac myocytes subjected to hypoxia or treatment of isolated hearts either before ischaemia or at the onset of reperfusion ...

Mechanisms of spinal glial activation in chemotherapy‐induced peripheral neuropathy: Focus on microglia and astrocytes

open access: yesIbrain, EarlyView.
Chemotherapy‐induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) remains a major clinical challenge, with central sensitization considered an important pathological mechanism in its occurrence and persistence. This review focuses on spinal astrocytes and microglia, systematically summarizing the pathological mechanisms of spinal glial cells involved in CIPN caused by

Sphingosine kinase type 2 inhibition elevates circulating sphingosine 1-phosphate [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 2012
S1P (sphingosine 1-phosphate) is a pleiotropic lipid mediator involved in numerous cellular and physiological functions. Of note among these are cell survival and migration, as well as lymphocyte trafficking. S1P, which exerts its effects via five GPCRs (G-protein-coupled receptors) (S1P1–S1P5), is formed by the action of two SphKs (sphingosine kinases)

Potential neuroprotective and therapeutic agents and their mechanisms for irradiation‐induced brain injury

open access: yesIbrain, EarlyView.
In this review, agents such baicalein, troxerutin, epigallocatechin gallate, quercetin, melatonin, valproic acid, lithium, neurosteroid progesterone, as well as minocycline have been implicated as neuroprotective agents for irradiation‐induced neurological deficits. Also, agents such as glucocorticoids, methylphenidate, vitamin E, bisdemethoxycurcumin,

Sphingosine mediates FTY720-induced apoptosis in LLC-PK1 cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
FTY720, a synthetic sphingoid base analog, was examined as a new sphingosine kinase inhibitor, which converts endogenous sphingosine into its phosphate form.

Sphingosine and Sphingosine Kinase 1 Involvement in Endocytic Membrane Trafficking [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2017
The balance between cholesterol and sphingolipids within the plasma membrane has long been implicated in endocytic membrane trafficking. However, in contrast to cholesterol functions, little is still known about the roles of sphingolipids and their metabolites.

Circadian Immunity and Vascular Inflammation in Cardiovascular Disease Chronotherapy Windows: Time for a Re‐Assessment

open access: yesMed Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circadian rhythms orchestrate cardiovascular physiology by regulating immune and inflammatory pathways. Disruption of these rhythms profoundly alters vascular homeostasis, thereby promoting the onset and progression of cardiovascular diseases (CVD).

Migration of germline progenitor cells is directed by sphingosine-1-phosphate signalling in a basal chordate. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The colonial ascidian Botryllus schlosseri continuously regenerates entire bodies in an asexual budding process. The germ line of the newly developing bodies is derived from migrating germ cell precursors, but the signals governing this homing process ...

Enhancing Selective Brain Cancer Therapy: Integrating Nanomedicine and Molecular Dynamics to Target the Cancerous Lipid Composition

open access: yesNano Select, EarlyView.
Improving selectivity within therapeutic design is critical to ensure targeted delivery to brain tumors. Targeting the cellular membrane composition distinctive of the blood–brain barrier and brain cancer cells is explored in this review. Nanomedicine can be utilized for precise tumor recognition, and detailed mechanistic interactions of therapeutics ...

Role of Ceramide from Glycosphingolipids and Its Metabolites in Immunological and Inflammatory Responses in Humans

open access: yesMediators of Inflammation, 2015
Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are composed of hydrophobic ceramide and hydrophilic sugar chains. GSLs cluster to form membrane microdomains (lipid rafts) on plasma membranes, along with several kinds of transducer molecules, including Src family kinases and ...
