In osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells, we have recently reported that sphingosine 1-phosphate among sphingomyelin metabolites acts as a second messenger for tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF)-induced interleukin-6 (IL-6) synthesis. In the present study, we investigated the effect of extracellular sphingomyelinase on IL-6

Ceramide, a lipid mediator, has been most closely associated with antiproliferative activities. In this study, we examine the mechanism by which ceramide induces growth suppression and the role of the retinoblastoma gene product (Rb) in this process. Withdrawal of serum

We previously reported that prostaglandin (PG)E1 and PGF2alpha induce the synthesis of interleukin-6 (IL-6) via activation of protein kinase (PK)A and PKC, respectively, in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. In addition, we have shown that basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) elicits IL-6
