Intracellular sphingosine 1-phosphate contributes to collagen expression of hepatic myofibroblasts in human liver fibrosis independent of its receptors.

Am. J. Pathol. 185(2) , 387-98, (2015)

Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is involved in multiple pathological processes, including fibrogenesis. S1P participates in mouse liver fibrogenesis via a paracrine manner. Herein, we investigated the involvement of S1P in human liver fibrosis. Human fibrotic s...

Cell membrane signaling as target in cancer therapy: inhibitory effect of N,N-dimethyl and N,N,N-trimethyl sphingosine derivatives on in vitro and in vivo growth of human tumor cells in nude mice.

Cancer Res. 51(6) , 1613-8, (1991)

Sphingosine (SPN) has been claimed to be a negative modulator of transmembrane signaling through protein kinase C (PK-C) or some yet unidentified mechanism [for review see Y. A. Hannun and R. M. Bell, Science (Washington DC), 243: 500-507, 1989]. N,N-Dimethyl...

Effect of sphingosine and its N-methyl derivatives on oxidative burst, phagokinetic activity, and trans-endothelial migration of human neutrophils.

Biochem. Pharmacol. 44(8) , 1585-95, (1992)

Neutrophils display three major functions: (i) oxidative burst, (ii) phagokinetic activity, and (iii) trans-endothelial migration. Sphingosine (SPN) is known to inhibit oxidative burst in human neutrophils via inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC). SPN is meta...

A specific enhancing effect of N,N-dimethylsphingosine on epidermal growth factor receptor autophosphorylation. Demonstration of its endogenous occurrence (and the virtual absence of unsubstituted sphingosine) in human epidermoid carcinoma A431 cells.

J. Biol. Chem. 265 , 5385, (1990)

Our previous study suggested that N,N-dimethylsphingosine, but not unsubstituted sphingosine, could be a modulator of protein kinase C in epidermoid carcinoma A431 cells, since N,N-dimethyl-D-erythrosphingenine showed a stronger stereospecific effect on prote...
