General description
cis-4-methylsphingosine (cis-4M-Sph) is a methyl-branched sphingosine analog.
Biochem/physiol Actions
cis-4-methylsphingosine (cis-4M-Sph) modulates sphingosine 1 phosphate (S1P) receptor through its metabolite cis-4-methylsphingosine-1-phosphate (cis-4M-S1P). This leads to S1P receptor internalization and desensitization. cis-4M-Sph shows an inhibitory effect on serine palmitoyltransferase activity.

Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) acts as high affinity agonist at specific G-protein-coupled receptors, S1P(1-5), that play important roles e.g. in the cardiovascular and immune systems. A S1P receptor modulating drug, FTY720 (fingolimod), has been effective in phase III clinical trials for multiple

The effect of six different structurally modified sphingosine analogues on biosynthesis of sphingolipids was studied in primary cultured murine cerebellar neurons. Treatment of cells with cis-4-methylsphingosine at micromolar levels resulted in a markedly decreased sphingolipid biosynthesis, whereas the other compounds

Stroke is the second most common cause of death worldwide, and thus, it imposes great financial burdens on both individuals and society. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy is a promising approach for ischemic brain injury. However, MSC treatment potential is

Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)‑based therapies have demonstrated efficacy in animal models of cardiovascular diseases. However, MSCs decrease in quantity and quality with age, which reduces their capacity for damage repair. Long noncoding (lnc) RNAs regulate gene transcription and the fate
