Abstract

Sphingolipids such as ceramides (Cers) play important roles in cell proliferation, apoptosis, and cell cycle regulation. An increased Cer level is linked to the cytotoxic effects of several chemotherapeutics. Various selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors induce anti-proliferative effects in tumor cells. We addressed the possible interaction of the selective COX-2 inhibitors, coxibs, with the sphingolipid pathway as an explanation of their anti-proliferative effects. Sphingolipids were measured using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Treatment of various cancer cell lines with celecoxib significantly increased sphinganine, C(16:0)-, C(24:0)-, C(24:1)-dihydroceramide (dhCer) and led to a depletion of C(24:0)-, C(24:1)-Cer in a time- and concentration-dependent manner, whereas other coxibs had no effect. Using (13)C,(15)N-labeled l-serine, we demonstrated that the augmented dhCers after celecoxib treatment originate from de novo synthesis. Celecoxib inhibited the dihydroceramide desaturase (DEGS) in vivo with an IC(50) of 78.9 +/- 1.5 muM and increased total Cer level about 2-fold, indicating an activation of sphingolipid biosynthesis. Interestingly, inhibition of the sphingolipid biosynthesis by specific inh...Continue Reading

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
