Sphingoid bioregulators in the differentiation of cells of neural origin / G. Tettamanti, A. Prinetti, R. Bassi, P. Viani, P. Giussani, L. Riboni. - In: JOURNAL OF LIPID MEDIATORS AND CELL SIGNALLING. - ISSN 0929-7855. - 14:1-3(1996), pp. 263-275.
Abstract:
The involvement of ceramide in the differentiation of two neuroblastoma cell lines, Neuro2a and SH-SY5Y, and cerebellar granule cells in primary culture was investigated. The following results were obtained: (a) the cellular content of ceramide markedly increased with induced differentiation of Neuro2a cells (inducers: RA, FCS deprivation), SH-SY5Y cells (inducers: RA, PMA), and spontaneous differentiation of cerebellar granule cells; (b) all the investigated cells in the differentiated form displayed a higher ability to produce ceramide from exogenously administered [3H]Sph-SM and expressed a higher content of neutral sphingomyelinase and, in the case of cerebellar granule cells, also of acidic sphingomyelinase; (c) inhibition of ceramide biosynthesis by Fumonisin B1 blocked the process of differentiation in Neuro2a and cerebellar granule cells; and (d) treatments capable of enhancing ceramide level (administration of sphingosine or C2-Ceramide) induced differentiation in both Neuro2a and SH-SY5Y cells. The data obtained support the notion that ceramide plays a general biomodulatory role in neural cell differentiation.
