Cell density-dependent reduction of dihydroceramide desaturase activity in neuroblastoma cells.
We applied a metabolic approach to investigate the role of sphingolipids in cell density-induced growth arrest in neuroblastoma cells. Our data revealed that sphingolipid metabolism in neuroblastoma cells significantly differs depending on the cells' population context. At high cell density, cells exhibited G0/G1 cell-cycle arrest and reduced ceramide, monohexosylceramide, and sphingomyelin, wh...
متن کاملDihydroceramide desaturase activity is modulated by oxidative stress.
Oxidative stress has been implicated previously in the regulation of ceramide metabolism. In the present study, its effects on dihydroceramide desaturase were investigated. To stimulate oxidative stress, HEK (human embyronic kidney)-293, MCF7, A549 and SMS-KCNR cells were treated with H2O2, menadione or tert-butylhydroperoxide. In all cell lines, an increase in dihydroceramide was observed upon...
متن کاملDihydroceramide Desaturase Inhibition by a Cyclopropanated Dihydroceramide Analog in Cultured Keratinocytes
Most mammalian sphingolipids contain a 4,5-(E)-double bond. We report on the chemical synthesis of a dihydroceramide derivative that prevents the introduction of the double bond into sphingolipids. Minimal alteration of the parent structure by formally replacing the hydrogen atoms in the 5- and in the 6-position of the sphinganine backbone by a methylene group leads to an inhibitor of dihydroce...
متن کاملConversion of dihydroceramide into ceramide: involvement of a desaturase.
Ceramide has been suggested to be a potent bioactive lipid involved in cell growth, differentiation and apoptosis. Its precursor, dihydroceramide, does not affect these processes. The truncated dihydroceramide analogues N-hexanoyl-[4,5-3H]-d-erythro-sphinganine and N-[1-14C]-hexanoyl-d-erythro-sphinganine were used to study the conversion of dihydroceramide into ceramide by rat hepatocytes. The...
متن کاملInhibition of dihydroceramide desaturase activity by the sphingosine kinase inhibitor SKI II.
Sphingosine kinase inhibitor (SKI) II has been reported as a dual inhibitor of sphingosine kinases (SKs) 1 and 2 and has been extensively used to prove the involvement of SKs and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) in cellular processes. Dihydroceramide desaturase (Des1), the last enzyme in the de novo synthesis of ceramide (Cer), regulates the balance between dihydroceramides (dhCers) and Cers. Both...
