Neutral sphingomyelinase 2 (nSMase2) is the primary neutral sphingomyelinase isoform activated by tumour necrosis factor-α in MCF-7 cells.
Activation of N-SMase (neutral sphingomyelinase) is an established part of the response of cytokines such as TNF (tumour necrosis factor)-α. However, it remains unclear which of the currently cloned N-SMase isoforms (nSMase1, nSMase2 and nSMase3) are responsible for this activity. In MCF-7 cells, we found that TNF-α induces late, but not early, increases in N-SMase activity, and that nSMase2 is...
متن کاملRegulation of Neutral Sphingomyelinase-2 (nSMase2) by Tumor Necrosis Factor- Involves Protein Kinase C- in Lung Epithelial Cells
Neutral sphingomyelinases (N-SMases) are major candidates for stress-induced ceramide production, but there is still limited knowledge of the regulatory mechanisms of the cloned N-SMase enzyme—nSMase2. We have reported that p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) was upstream of nSMase2 in tumor necrosis(TNF)-stimulated A549 cells (J Biol Chem 282:1384– 1396, 2007). Here, we report a role f...
متن کاملNeutral Sphingomyelinase 2 (nSMase2)-dependent Exosomal Transfer of Angiogenic MicroRNAs Regulate Cancer Cell Metastasis*
The release of humoral factors between cancer cells and the microenvironmental cells is critical for metastasis; however, the roles of secreted miRNAs in non-cell autonomous cancer progression against microenvironmental cells remain largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that the neutral sphyngomyelinase 2 (nSMase2) regulates exosomal microRNA (miRNA) secretion and promotes angiogenesis within t...
متن کاملPrimary cilia in stem cells and neural progenitors are regulated by neutral sphingomyelinase 2 and ceramide
We show here that human embryonic stem (ES) and induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neuroprogenitors (NPs) develop primary cilia. Ciliogenesis depends on the sphingolipid ceramide and its interaction with atypical PKC (aPKC), both of which distribute to the primary cilium and the apicolateral cell membrane in NP rosettes. Neural differentiation of human ES cells to NPs is concurrent with a th...
متن کاملNeutral sphingomyelinase-2, acid sphingomyelinase, and ceramide levels in COPD patients compared to controls
BACKGROUND Increased pulmonary ceramide levels are suggested to play a causative role in lung diseases including COPD. Neutral sphingomyelinase-2 (nSMase-2) and acid SMase (aSMase), which hydrolyze sphingomyelin to produce ceramide, are activated by a range of cellular stresses, including inflammatory cytokines and pathogens, but notably cigarette smoke appears to only activate nSMase-2. Our pr...
