General description

C8 Ceramide-1-Phosphate (d17:1/8:0) is a novel bioactive sphingolipid. It is formed by the phosphorylation of C8-ceramide or N-octanoyl-D-erythro-sphingosine (C17 base) catalyzed by ceramide kinase (CERK). C1P is a sphingolipid analog of phosphatidate.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ceramide 1-phosphate (C1P) acts as a mitogenic agent. It exhibits antiapoptotic and prosurvival properties. C1P stimulates inflammatory response and facilitates phagocytosis. It also has an ability to negatively regulate tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) production induced by lipopolysaccharide. C1P is reputed to be a second lipid messenger of agonist-stimulated sphingomyelin metabolism.

Ceramide 1-phosphate (C1P) is a novel bioactive sphingolipid formed by ceramide kinase (CERK)-catalyzed phosphorylation of ceramide. It has been implicated in the regulation of such vital pathophysiological functions as phagocytosis and inflammation, but there have been no reports ascribing a

Sphingolipids are essential components of cell membranes, and many of them regulate vital cell functions. In particular, ceramide plays crucial roles in cell signaling processes. Two major actions of ceramides are the promotion of cell cycle arrest and the induction

LPS is a constituent of cell walls of Gram-negative bacteria that, acting through the CD14/TLR4 receptor complex, causes strong proinflammatory activation of macrophages. In murine peritoneal macrophages and J774 cells, LPS at 1-2 ng/ml induced maximal TNF-α and MIP-2 release

Ceramide, a product of agonist-stimulated sphingomyelinase activation, is known to be generated during the phagocytosis of antibody-coated erythrocytes by polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Agonist-stimulated formation of ceramide-1-phosphate is now shown to occur in 32PO4-labeled neutrophils. Ceramide-1-phosphate is formed by a calcium-dependent ceramide

It was reported previously that ceramide-1-phosphate (Cer-1-P) is mitogenic for fibroblasts (Gómez-Muñoz, A., P. A. Duffy, A. Martin, L. O'Brien, H-S. Byun, R. Bittman, and D. N. Brindley. 1995. Mol. Pharmacol. 47: 883-889; Gómez-Muñoz, A., L. M. Frago, L. Alvarez
