Example sentences for: sphingomyelin
How can you use “sphingomyelin” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Interestingly, we find that two different cytokines ( i.e. sFasL and TNFα) can activate the sphingomyelin pathway in two distinct CL cell types.
Sphingomyelin content and luteal cell membrane fluidity decrease during luteolysis in vivo [ 48 49 50 51 ] . Ceramide, a product of sphingomyelin hydrolysis, is a potent stress-activated second messenger and is well established as a functional component of death receptor-mediated apoptosis [ 52 53 54 ] . Upon treatment of CLENDO cells with TNFα, we observed a rapid and sustained increase in the production of ceramide, suggesting that the sphingomyelin pathway is present and active in these cells.
The essential step in plasma membrane destabilization and MP-release very likely is a caspase-dependent sphingomyelin hydrolysis, which leads to the production of ceramide [ 28 29 30 ] . It is possible, however, that sphingomyelin hydrolysis and MP-release may be a consequence of the action of initiator caspases or other ZVAD sensitive proteases rather than only executioner caspases [ 15 31 32 ] . Our study was performed in HUVEC culture, which may have particular properties in respect of MP release when compared with endothelial cells from other organs.
The ratios of 24:0/22:0 in sphingomyelin and PS/PI, 24:1n9/22:1n9 in PS/PI and CL, 22:4n6/20:4n6 in PC, PE, and CL, and 22:5n3/20:5n3 in PC and PE, were all reduced by FISH, whereas FUNG had either a neutral effect or partly reversed effects seen with FISH (with exception of CL 24:1n9/22:1n9 ratio).
Members of the DNase 1, LINE-1 repeats, inositol 5'-polyphosphate phosphatase, Nocturnin, CCR4, cytolethal distending toxin, neutral sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase, and amino acid methyltransferase families were found with expectation values of 10 -4or less to be significantly similar to APE1.
