Ceramides as Key Players in Cellular Stress Response.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The recent discovery of sphingolipid-derived second messengers that regulate fundamental cell responses such as cell growth and apoptosis has provided insight into the way cells sense and respond to stressful stimuli. This will help the understanding of the pathogenesis of stress-related diseases and eventually offer novel therapeutic approaches.

Role and function of macrophages in the metabolic syndrome.
Macrophages are key innate immune effector cells best known for their role as professional phagocytes, which also include neutrophils and dendritic cells. Recent evidence indicates that macrophages are also key players in metabolic homoeostasis. Macrophages can be found in many tissues, where they respond to metabolic cues and produce pro- and/or anti-inflammatory mediators to modulate metaboli...
متن کاملResponse of lipid proxidation and antioxidant system to single bout of high intensity interval exercise in elite soccer players
Introduction: Free radicals can cause lipid proxidation, especially in athletes. The aim of this research was to determine the response of lipid exercise proxidation and antioxidant system to single bout of High Intensity interval Exercise (HIE) in elite soccer players. Methods: In this semi experimental study, 20 football players were selected randomly and divided into experimental and control...
متن کاملCeramides in Alzheimer's Disease: Key Mediators of Neuronal Apoptosis Induced by Oxidative Stress and Aβ Accumulation
Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common chronic and progressive neurodegenerative disorder, is characterized by extracellular deposits of amyloid β-peptides (Aβ) and intracellular deposits of hyperphosphorylated tau (phospho-tau) protein. Ceramides, the major molecules of sphingolipid metabolism and lipid second messengers, have been associated with AD progression and pathology via Aβ generat...

Supplementation has beneficial effects in immune system and can antioxidant enzymes activity increases during the exercise and protects the tissue against the oxidative stress. L-Carnitine is a famous Supplement and helps to protect against the oxidative stress during and after intense or prolonged exercise. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of L-Carnitine supplementation on t...
متن کاملDisruption of ceramide synthesis by CerS2 down-regulation leads to autophagy and the unfolded protein response.
Ceramide metabolism has come under recent scrutiny because of its role in cellular stress responses. CerS2 (ceramide synthase 2) is one of the six mammalian isoforms of ceramide synthase and is responsible for the synthesis of VLC (very-long-chain) ceramides, e.g. C24, C24:1. To study the role of CerS2 in ceramide metabolism and cellular homoeostasis, we down-regulated CerS2 using siRNA (small ...
