Background: Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion(I/R) injury remains a significant problem in clinical practice. Sphingosine kinase 1(Sph K1) phosphorylates sphingosine to sphingosine-1-phosphate(S1 P) which participates in m...

AIM: To investigate the role of protein kinase C(PKC)-δ activation in the pathogenesis of acute liver failure(ALF) in a well-characterized mouse model of D-galactosamine(D-Gal N)/lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced ALF.M...
Recent Background: Development of obesity involves promotion of preadipocyte differrentiation. This study investigated the role that sphingosine kinases (SPHK) and ceramide-derived sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) play i...

The sphingolipid metabolites ceramide,sphingosine,and sphingosine-1-phosphate(S1P) and its enzyme sphingosine kinase(SphK) play an important role in the regulation of cell proliferation,survival,inflammation,and cell ...
Sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1) is an important mediator of apoptosis and the proliferation of cancer cells. It is upregulated in cells showing increasing radioresistance. Here we present the correlation between SphK1 ex...
Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive sphingolipid with a variety of biological activities.It is generated from the conversion of ceramide to sphingosine by ceramidase and the subsequent conversion of sphingosi...
The importance of sphingosine kinase(SphK)and sphingosine-1-phosphate(S1P)in inflammation has been extensively demonstrated.As an intracellular second messenger,S1P plays an important role in calcium signaling and mob...
