Received: 26 December 2012; in revised form: 22 January 2013 / Accepted: 1 February 2013 / Published: 1 March 2013 Abstract: The sphingolipid ceramide mediates various cellular processes in response to several extracellular stimuli. Some genotoxic stresses are able to induce p53-dependent ceramide accumulation leading to cell death. However, in other cases, in the absence of the tumor suppressor protein p53, apoptosis proceeds partly due to the activity of this “tumor suppressor lipid”, ceramide. In the current review, we describe ceramide and its roles in signaling pathways such as cell cycle arrest, hypoxia, hyperoxia, cell death, and cancer. In a specific manner, we are elaborating on the role of ceramide in mitochondrial apoptotic cell death signaling.

  • Targeting Cancer Metabolism to Resensitize Chemotherapy: Potential Development of Cancer Chemosensitizers from Traditional Chinese Medicines
    cancers Review Targeting Cancer Metabolism to Resensitize Chemotherapy: Potential Development of Cancer Chemosensitizers from Traditional Chinese Medicines Wei Guo, Hor-Yue Tan, Feiyu Chen, Ning Wang and Yibin Feng * School of Chinese Medicine, Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR 00000, China; [email protected] (W.G.); [email protected] (H.-Y.T.); [email protected] (F.C.); [email protected] (N.W.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 22 December 2019; Accepted: 3 February 2020; Published: 10 February 2020 Abstract: Cancer is a common and complex disease with high incidence and mortality rates, which causes a severe public health problem worldwide. As one of the standard therapeutic approaches for cancer therapy, the prognosis and outcome of chemotherapy are still far from satisfactory due to the severe side effects and increasingly acquired resistance. The development of novel and effective treatment strategies to overcome chemoresistance is urgent for cancer therapy. Metabolic reprogramming is one of the hallmarks of cancer. Cancer cells could rewire metabolic pathways to facilitate tumorigenesis, tumor progression, and metastasis, as well as chemoresistance. The metabolic reprogramming may serve as a promising therapeutic strategy and rekindle the research enthusiasm for overcoming chemoresistance. This review focuses on emerging mechanisms underlying rewired metabolic pathways for cancer chemoresistance in terms of glucose and energy, lipid, amino acid, and nucleotide metabolisms, as well as other related metabolisms. In particular, we highlight the potential of traditional Chinese medicine as a chemosensitizer for cancer chemotherapy from the metabolic perspective. The perspectives of metabolic targeting to chemoresistance are also discussed.

Morris 4 & Anthony S. Don3,9 1234567890():,; Specific forms of the lipid ceramide, synthesized by the ceramide synthase enzyme family, are believed to regulate metabolic physiology. Genetic mouse models have established C16 ceramide as a driver of insulin resistance in liver and adipose tissue. C18 ceramide, syn- thesized by ceramide synthase 1 (CerS1), is abundant in skeletal muscle and suggested to promote insulin resistance in humans. We herein describe the first isoform-specific ceramide synthase inhibitor, P053, which inhibits CerS1 with nanomolar potency. Lipidomic profiling shows that P053 is highly selective for CerS1. Daily P053 administration to mice fed a high- fat diet (HFD) increases fatty acid oxidation in skeletal muscle and impedes increases in muscle triglycerides and adiposity, but does not protect against HFD-induced insulin resis- tance. Our inhibitor therefore allowed us to define a role for CerS1 as an endogenous inhibitor of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation in muscle and regulator of whole-body adiposity. 1 School of Medical Sciences, UNSW Sydney, Sydney 2052 NSW, Australia. 2 Prince of Wales Clinical School, Faculty of Medicine, UNSW Sydney, Sydney 2052 NSW, Australia.

Coeli-Lacchini and Andréia Machado Leopoldino * Department of Clinical Analyses Toxicology and Sciences, School of Pharmaceutical Sciences of Ribeirão Preto, University of São Paulo, Av. do Café s/n, 14040-903 Ribeirão Preto, SP, Brazil; [email protected] (L.B.F.); [email protected] (F.B.C.-L.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 1 December 2019; Accepted: 27 February 2020; Published: 1 March 2020 Abstract: For decades, sphingolipids have been related to several biological functions such as immune system regulation, cell survival, and proliferation. Recently, it has been reported that sphingolipids could be biomarkers in cancer and in other human disorders such as metabolic diseases. This is evidenced by the biological complexity of the sphingolipids associated with cell type-specific signaling and diverse sphingolipids molecules. As mitochondria dynamics have serious implications in homeostasis, in the present review, we focused on the relationship between sphingolipids, mainly ceramides and sphingosine-1-phosphate, and mitochondrial dynamics directed by fission, fusion, and mitophagy. There is evidence that the balances of ceramides (C18 and C16) and S1P, as well as the location of specific ceramide synthases in mitochondria, have roles in mitophagy and fission with an impact on cell fate and metabolism. However, signaling pathways controlling the sphingolipids metabolism and their location in mitochondria need to be better understood in order to propose new interventions and therapeutic strategies.

Introduction Sphingolipids are a class of complex lipids with several functions, including membrane structure and intracellular and extracellular signaling, associated with a large number of processes.

Received: 30 August 2018; Accepted: 1 October 2018; Published: 8 October 2018 Abstract: Ceramide synthase 6 (CerS6, also known as LASS6) is one of the six members of ceramide synthase gene family in humans. Comparisons of CerS6 amino acid sequences and structures as well as of CerS6 gene structures/locations were conducted using data from several vertebrate genome projects. A specific role for the CerS6 gene and protein has been identified as the endoplasmic reticulum C14- and C16-ceramide synthase. Mammalian CerS6 proteins share 90–100% similarity among different species, but are only 22–63% similar to other CerS family members, suggesting that CerS6 is a distinct gene family. Sequence alignments, predicted transmembrane, lumenal and cytoplasmic segments and N-glycosylation sites were also investigated, resulting in identification of the key conserved residues, including the active site as well as C-terminus acidic and serine residues. Mammalian CerS6 genes contain ten exons, are primarily located on the positive strands and transcribed as two major isoforms. The human CERS6 gene promoter harbors a large CpG island (94 CpGs) and multiple transcription factor binding sites (TFBS), which support precise transcriptional regulation and signaling functions.

  • Ceramide Synthase 6 in Metabolic Response to Dietary Fat and Folic Acid
    CERAMIDE SYNTHASE 6 IN METABOLIC RESPONSE TO DIETARY FAT AND FOLIC ACID Keri Anne Barron A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Nutrition in the Gillings School of Global Public Health. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Natalia Krupenko Sergey Krupenko Folami Ideraabdullah Susan Smith Stephen Hursting © 2020 Keri Anne Barron ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Keri Anne Barron: Ceramide Synthase 6 in Metabolic Response to Dietary Fat and Folic Acid (Under the direction of Natalia Krupenko) Ceramides, a class of bioactive lipids, are important regulators of cellular metabolism mediating response to nutrient stress. Recent work from our laboratory demonstrated that, in cultured cells, folate stress response is mediated by ceramide synthase 6 (CerS6), a sphingolipid enzyme producing C16-ceramide. To test the hypothesis that alterations in dietary FA will induce a CerS6-dependent response in mice, we evaluated the sphingolipid and metabolomic responses in WT and CerS6 KO mice. We also investigated the role of dietary fat in the response to folate stress in WT and KO mice. This dissertation sought to characterize the sphingolipid and metabolomic responses in wild type (WT) and CerS6 knockout (KO) mice to both short-term alterations in dietary FA as well as to long-term changes in dietary FA combined with high fat diet. As expected, CerS6 KO mice compared to WT mice exhibited significant differences in liver sphingolipids, free fatty acids and phosphatidylethanolamines, among other lipids. Inducing folate stress resulted in changes to sphingolipid pools in the liver with significantly different responses between sexes.
