Disease relevance of Nbd-ceramide

  • Chlamydia trachomatis acquires C6-NBD-sphingomyelin endogenously synthesized from C6-NBD-ceramide and transported to the vesicle (inclusion) in which they multiply [1].
 

High impact information on Nbd-ceramide

  • Morphological dynamics and membrane transport within the living Golgi apparatus of astrocytes labeled with NBD-ceramide were imaged using both electronically enhanced fluorescence video and laser confocal microscopy [2].
  • In all cases, C6-NBD-ceramide revealed a Golgi apparatus in the living cell that was identical to that obtained with conventional procedures that require fixation [3].
  • The SDYQRL-TR-containing structures, however, do not colocalize with TGN markers (e.g., NBD ceramide), and therefore the SDYQRL motif is not sufficient to target the TR to the TGN [4].
  • Approximately 40-50% of the sphingomyelin synthesized from exogenously added NBD-ceramide is specifically transported from the Golgi apparatus to the chlamydial inclusion (Hackstadt, T., M.A. Scidmore, and D.D. Rockey. 1995. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 92: 4877-4881) [5].
  • After 1 h at 37 degrees C, VT1B accumulated in a juxtanuclear structure that colocalized with several Golgi markers, including alpha-mannosidase II, beta-COP, and NBD-ceramide [6].
 

Biological context of Nbd-ceramide

  • Indeed, the surface C6-NBD-PC synthesis was reduced to 40-50% by addition of C6-NBD-ceramide or hydrolysis of cell surface SM by exogenous neutral sphingomyelinase [7].

Gene context of Nbd-ceramide

  • The structure of the Golgi region, as examined by immunofluorescence microscopy with antibodies against Golgi markers (the 110-kDa protein and mannosidase II) or with fluorescent lipid NBD-ceramide, was unchanged in the mutant cells as compared to that in the wild-type cells [17].
  • S1P concentrations were quantified by bioassay based on the ability of S1P to stimulate its receptor. cITP was performed using plasma that had been prestained with NBD-ceramide [18].
  • The C6-NBD-ceramide vital staining method should be useful for studying stage-dependent Sertoli cell Golgi complex movement and spermatogonial maturation [19].
