The addition of neutral sphingomyelinase from S. aureus to the medium of rat intestinal epithelial cell cultures (IEC-6) containing added human low density lipoprotein (LDL) resulted in two- to fivefold increases in LDL uptake and degradation. This overall effect was shown to be the combined result of sphingomyelinase activity on the composition of the LDL particle and a separate action directl...
The hemolytic and sphingomyelinase C activities of supernatants of cultures of Leptospira interrogans serovar pomona tended to copurify when isoelectric fractionation was carried out. Both activities focused primarily at pH 8.1. Considered in conjunction with other circumstantial evidence, the results led to the conclusion that sphingomyelinase C is responsible for hemolysis.
Acid sphingomyelinase plays important roles in ceramide homeostasis, which has been proposed to be linked to insulin resistance. To test this association in vivo, acid sphingomyelinase deletion (asm(-/-)) was transferred to mice lacking the low density lipoprotein receptor (ldlr(-/-)), and then offsprings were placed on control or modified (enriched in saturated fat and cholesterol) diets for 1...
The sphingomyelin cycle, which plays an important role in regulation of cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis, involves the formation of ceramide by the action of a membrane-associated, Mg2+-dependent, neutral sphingomyelinase and/or a lysosomal acid sphingomyelinase. In human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs), ceramide production correlates with and plays a role in the regulation of fu...
Plasma secretion of acid sphingomyelinase is a hallmark of cellular stress response resulting in the formation of membrane embedded ceramide-enriched lipid rafts and the reorganization of receptor complexes. Consistently, decompartmentalization of ceramide formation from inert sphingomyelin has been associated with signaling events and regulation of the cellular phenotype. Herein, we addressed ...
Micellar cholesterol uptake and secretion were investigated in the human intestinal cell line CaCo-2 following depletion of apical membrane sphingomyelin. The addition of exogenous sphingomyelinase, which hydrolysed 60% of prelabelled sphingomyelin, resulted in a 50% decrease in the uptake of cholesterol from bile salt micelles. The flux of membrane cholesterol into the cell by the hydrolysis o...
Human fibroblasts in culture take up exogenous [choline-Me-3H,32P]sphingomyelin (SM) from the medium and incorporate it into cellular SM and phosphatidylcholine [Spence, Clarke & Cook (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 8595-8600]. The ratio of [3H]choline/[32P]Pi is similar in SM and phosphatidylcholine, indicating that the phosphocholine (P-Cho) moiety is transferred intact. Similar results are obtain...
OBJECTIVE Platelet activation is essential for primary hemostasis and acute thrombotic vascular occlusions. On activation, platelets release their prothrombotic granules and expose phosphatidylserine, thus fostering thrombin generation and thrombus formation. In other cell types, both degranulation and phosphatidylserine exposure are modified by sphingomyelinase-dependent formation of ceramide....
Activation of endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS) has been shown to occur through various pathways involving increases in the cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration, activation of the phosphatidylinositol-3' kinase/Akt pathway, as well as regulation by other kinases and by protein-protein interactions. We have recently reported that eNOS, expressed in an inducible HeLa Tet-off cell line, is activa...
The current studies explore the mechanism by which the sphingomyelin content of mammalian cells regulates transcription of genes encoding enzymes of cholesterol synthesis. Previous studies by others have shown that depletion of sphingomyelin by treatment with neutral sphingomyelinase causes a fraction of cellular cholesterol to translocate from the plasma membrane to the endoplasmic reticulum w...
