Article Abstract
A convergent synthesis to access hydrophobic tail analogs and head group modifications of AAL(S) is described. The analogs synthesised were evaluated for their ability to inhibit ceramide synthase 1 and for their cytotoxicity in K562 cells. Our results have identified inhibitors which are non-cytotoxic yet maintain CerS1 inhibition.

Leishmania donovani is an intracellular protozoan parasite that has successfully evolved to manipulate host macrophages. The exact mechanism by which Leishmania spp evades macrophage function is not fully understood. Recently, several studies have shown that pathogens target host-microRNA to alter cellular pathways for their persistence.

The enzyme ceramide synthase 2 (CerS2), which synthesizes pro-apoptotic very long-chain ceramides (VLCCs), represents a promising therapeutic target. Here, we identify and characterize DH20931, a novel, first-in-class small-molecule agonist of CerS2.

The regulatory mechanisms driving brain metastasis (BM) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are complex, with Ceramide synthase 1 (Cers1) playing a critical role. However, the upstream factors controlling Cers1 expression remain unclear. Additionally, Kruppel-like factor 9 (KLF9) has been implicated as a potential tumor suppressor transcription factor (TF) in lung cancer.

Porcine respiratory disease complex (PRDC) is a common syndrome in the modern swine industry worldwide, and its pathogenesis remains unclear to date. Our study aimed to investigate PRDC-induced pulmonary fibrosis and sphingolipid metabolism, and their relationship. Mouse and cell line (A549 and 3D4/21) models exposed to bleomycin and/or transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) were developed.

2-Amino-14,16-dimethyloctadecan-3-ol (AOD) is commonly found in foods contaminated with , particularly cereals or fruits, and is structurally related to mycotoxins (fumonisins) and mammalian sphingoid bases, especially 1-deoxysphinganine (m18:0); therefore, it might enter systemic circulation and tissues upon dietary intake. Knowledge about what happens when cells are exposed to AOD is limited, but it has been reported to be cytotoxic and to induce vacuolization in HepG2 cells. We also found that AOD is cytotoxic for HepG2 cells, but even at a concentration where cell viability remained above 85% (5 μM), it altered 24 differentially expressed genes based on RNA sequencing-based transcriptomic profiling.
