A sensitive LC‑MS/MS method for the simultaneous quantification of hexosylceramides and hexosylsphingosines, their precursors and metabolites in cells, plasma, and tissue homogenates.

Hexosylceramides (HexCers) and hexosylsphingosines (HexSphs) are bioactive glycosphingolipids implicated in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease (PD), Gaucher disease, and Krabbe disease. Despite their biological relevance, no existing method enables the simultaneous quantification of both HexCers and HexSphs across multiple biological matrices. In this study, we report the development, validation, and application of a novel LC-MS/MS method capable of quantifying 11 lipid species, including glucosylceramides, galactosylceramides, glucosylsphingosine, galactosylsphingosine, ce…

Letter to the Editor: Low-energy fractional carbon dioxide laser priming of mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes: A photothermal boost for diabetic wound angiogenesis.

The study by Chen et al recently published in World Journal of Methodology provides a significant advancement in the field of diabetic wound healing by demonstrating that low-energy fractional carbon dioxide laser preconditioning (40 mJ/cm², 300 Hz, 5% density) significantly enhances the angiogenic potential of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes. This single-exposure, 10 mm × 10 mm Micro-DeepFX protocol raised the culture temperature to 42.7 °C and increased exosomal sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) content by about 1.8-fold (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay: 2.4 ng/109 vs 1.…

Carrier-free nanoassembly with dual antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities camouflaged by melanoma cell membrane for tau-targeted therapy of Alzheimer's disease.

Targeting phosphorylated tau (p-tau) across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) represents a critical prerequisite for attenuating tau pathology and disease progression in Alzheimer's disease (AD) by alleviating oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. To address this challenge, we developed a novel carrier-free selenium-based nanoassembly stabilized by hydroxyl-rich fingolimod (FTY720), a sphingosine analogue. Following camouflaging with melanoma cell membranes and further functionalizing with T807, the resulting nanocomposite (FSMT) demonstrated robust capacity for BBB crossing and target p-tau bot…

F13A1-Mediated Macrophage Activation Promotes MASH Progression via the PKM2/HIF1A Pathway.

Macrophages are central mediators of hepatic inflammation and fibrosis in metabolic-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), yet the mechanisms driving their activation remain unclear. Integration of four human single-nucleus transcriptomic datasets identified Coagulation Factor XIII-A (F13A1)-positive macrophages as the predominant subset in MASH livers, a finding validated in patient samples and murine models. Lipid-stressed hepatocytes induce F13A1 expression through a sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P)-dependent mechanism. Silencing F13A1 suppressed the pro-inflammatory phenotype and alleviated hepat…

The Effects of the S1P Receptor Agonist Fingolimod (FTY720) on Central and Peripheral Myelin in Twitcher Mice.

Krabbe's disease (KD) is caused by mutations in the lysosomal enzyme galactocerebrosidase and is associated with psychosine toxicity. The sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor (S1PR) agonist fingolimod (FTY720) attenuates psychosine-induced cell death of human astrocytes, demyelination in cerebellar slices, as well as demyelination in the central nervous system of twitcher mice. Psychosine also accumulates in the peripheral nervous system in twitcher mice; however, effects of fingolimod on this peripheral myelin have not been examined. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of fingoli…

Integrating metabolomics and network toxicology to reveal the mechanism of hypoaconitine-induced hepatotoxicity in mice.

Hypoaconitine (HA), a major secondary metabolite of aconite (a plant-derived rodenticide), is a highly toxic di-ester alkaloidal constituent. The toxicity of HA is intense with a low LD50. However, studies on its toxicity mechanism have mainly focused on cardiotoxicity, with few reports on the mechanism of hepatotoxicity. In this study, we combined metabolomics and network toxicology to investigate the effects of HA on the liver and analyzed the mechanisms by which it causes hepatotoxicity. The results of metabolomics studies indicated diethylphosphate, sphingosine-1-phosphate, glycerophosphor…

FTY720/Fingolimod mitigates paclitaxel-induced Sparcl1-driven neuropathic pain and breast cancer progression.

Paclitaxel is among the most active chemotherapy drugs for the aggressive triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Unfortunately, it often induces painful peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), a major debilitating side effect. Here we demonstrate that in naive and breast tumor-bearing immunocompetent mice, a clinically relevant dose of FTY720/Fingolimod that targets sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1), alleviated paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain. FTY720 also significantly attenuated paclitaxel-stimulated glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), a marker for activated astrocytes, and expression o…

Further, we observed decreased platelet. CONCLUSION: Our findings highlight that NPC1 regulates …

Exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation establishes a novel immune suppressive lipidome in skin-draining lymph nodes.

The ability of ultraviolet radiation to suppress the immune system is thought to be central to both its beneficial (protection from autoimmunity) and detrimental (carcinogenic) effects. Previous work revealed a key role for lipids particularly platelet-activating factor and sphingosine-1-phosphate in mediating UV-induced immune suppression. We therefore hypothesized that there may be other UV-induced lipids that have immune regulatory roles. To assess this, mice were exposed to an immune suppressive dose of solar-simulated UV (8 J/cm2). Lipidomic analysis identified 6 lipids (2 acylcarnitines,…

Previous studies have s … these lipid species, phosphatidylethanolamine cardiolipin Ceramide (Cer), lysophosphatidylinositol sphingosine (Sph), etc., were significantly upregulated in the treated group. Pathway analysis indicates that Rhizoma Paridis may cause liver damage via interfering with the glycerophospholipid metabolism. Collectively, this study has revealed previously unchar …

Stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) knock down attenuates invasion and proliferation and enhances the expression of thyroid-specific proteins in human follicular thyroid cancer cells.

Stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) and the ORAI1 calcium channel mediate store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) and regulate a multitude of cellular functions. The identity and function of these proteins in thyroid cancer remain elusive. We show that STIM1 and ORAI1 expression is elevated in thyroid cancer cell lines, compared to primary thyroid cells. Knock-down of STIM1 or ORAI1 attenuated SOCE, reduced invasion, and the expression of promigratory sphingosine 1-phosphate and vascular endothelial growth factor-2 receptors in thyroid cancer ML-1 cells. Cell proliferation was attenuated in the…

Therapeutic potential of Fingolimod in triple negative breast cancer preclinical models.

Surgery followed by a chemotherapy agent is the first-line treatment for breast cancer patients. Nevertheless, new targets are required for women with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in order to improve the treatment of this aggressive cancer subtype. Multiple pro-inflammatory molecules including lipid-based substances such as sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) promote cancer progression. In this preclinical study, we aim to investigate the efficacy of Fingolimod, an inhibitor of S1P / S1P receptors axis, already approved as an immunomodulator in multiple sclerosis. The impact of Fingolimod wa…
