Acid sphingomyelinase amplifies redox signaling in Pseudomonas aeruginosa-induced macrophage apoptosis.
Recent studies indicate that distinct membrane microdomains, also named lipid rafts, and ceramide play an important role in infectious biology. Ceramide forms larger ceramide-enriched membrane platforms that are required for diverse signal transduction. In this study, we demonstrate that ceramide-enriched membrane platforms are critically involved in redox signaling that regulates alveolar macr...
متن کاملPseudomonas aeruginosa Pyocyanin Induces Neutrophil Death via Mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species and Mitochondrial Acid Sphingomyelinase
AIMS Pulmonary infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa are a serious clinical problem and are often lethal. Because many strains of P. aeruginosa are resistant to antibiotics, therapeutic options are limited. Neutrophils play an important role in the host's early acute defense against pulmonary P. aeruginosa. Therefore, it is important to define the mechanisms by which P. aeruginosa interacts wi...
متن کاملAcid sphingomyelinase and its redox amplification in formation of lipid raft redox signaling platforms in endothelial cells.
This study examined the role of acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) and its redox amplification in mediating the formation of lipid raft (LR) redox signaling platforms in coronary arterial endothelial cells (CAECs). Using small interference RNA (siRNA) of ASM, Fas ligand (FasL)-induced increase in ASM activity, production of ceramide, and LR clustering in CAECs were blocked, and clustered Fas was also ...
متن کاملPhospholipase A2 functions in Pseudomonas aeruginosa-induced apoptosis.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a gram-negative, facultative pathogen, causes severe and often even lethal infections in immunocompromised patients, as well as cystic fibrosis patients. We show here that a variety of P. aeruginosa strains activate phospholipase A2 (PLA2), cultured epithelial cells, and fibroblasts, resulting in increased intracellular and extracellular arachidonic acid release. The use...
متن کاملCaspase-dependent and -independent activation of acid sphingomyelinase signaling.
Recent evidence suggests clustering of plasma membrane rafts into ceramide-enriched platforms serves as a transmembrane signaling mechanism for a subset of cell surface receptors and environmental stresses (Grassme, H., Jekle, A., Riehle, A., Schwarz, H., Berger, J., Sandhoff, K., Kolesnick, R., and Gulbins, E. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 20589-20596; Cremesti, A., Paris, F., Grassme, H., Holler...
