Biological context of Sphk1

 

Anatomical context of Sphk1

  • These results suggest that astrocyte lpR signalling mechanisms likely involve both Gi- and Gq-coupled GPCRs and that receptor-mediated activation of SK leads to intracellular generation of S1P, which in turn amplifies the lpR signalling in a paracrine/autocrine manner [1].
  • Therefore, we examined the expression of SK1 and COX-2 in rat colon tumors induced by azoxymethane (AOM) and the relationship of these two proteins in normal and malignant intestinal epithelial cells [2].
  • These results indicate that, in these cells, depletion of intracellular nonmitochondrial or mitochondrial Ca(2+) stores causes cell death, that TG activates phospholipase A(2) and sphingosine kinase, and that arachidonic acid induces neurite outgrowth, whereas S1P delays cell death [11].
  • Phorbol ester treatment resulted in an increase in sphingosine kinase 1 activity in the membranes, accompanied by a significant increase in extracellular S1P [12].
  • Novel role of sphingosine kinase 1 as a mediator of neurotrophin-3 action in oligodendrocyte progenitors [13].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Sphk1

  • The increase in SK1 and COX-2 expression in AOM-induced rat colon adenocarcinoma was confirmed at the level of mRNA by real-time RT-PCR [2].
  • Purified sphingosine kinase has an apparent molecular mass of approximately 49 kDa under denaturing conditions on SDS-polyacrylamide gel, which is similar to the molecular mass determined by gel filtration, suggesting that the active form is a monomer [10].
