Disease relevance of Sptlc1

 

High impact information on Sptlc1

  • We employed myriocin, a specific inhibitor of serine palmitoyl-CoA transferase that mediates the first commitment step in sphingolipid synthesis [3].
  • Enzymatic assays revealed that ceramide synthase activity remained unaltered, whereas serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT), a key enzyme in ceramide synthesis, was activated approximately 2.5-fold by RA treatment [4].
  • After 24 h of treatment of primary cerebellar neurons with the various sphingosine analogues the relative percentage of the respective intracellular 1-phosphate derivatives paralleled exactly the inhibitory effect on serine palmitoyltransferase activity observed when cells were treated with the unphosphorylated compounds [5].
  • In our previous study, the sphingosine-like immunosuppressant, ISP-1, was found to suppress the proliferation of an interleukin-2-dependent cytotoxic T cell line, CTLL-2, through the inhibition of serine palmitoyltransferase, which catalyzes the committed step of sphingolipid biosynthesis [6].
  • The ISP-1-induced apoptosis was inhibited by the addition of sphingosine (2 microM), suggesting that this ISP-1-induced apoptosis is triggered by the decrease in the intracellular levels of sphingolipids caused by the inhibition of serine palmitoyltransferase [6].
