Neutrophils display three major functions: (i) oxidative burst, (ii) phagokinetic activity, and (iii) trans-endothelial migration. Sphingosine (SPN) is known to inhibit oxidative burst in human neutrophils via inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC). SPN is metabolically converted into N,N-dimethylsphingosine (DMS)
Sphingosine (SPN) has been claimed to be a negative modulator of transmembrane signaling through protein kinase C (PK-C) or some yet unidentified mechanism [for review see Y. A. Hannun and R. M. Bell, Science (Washington DC), 243: 500-507, 1989]. N,N-Dimethylsphingosine

Our previous study suggested that N,N-dimethylsphingosine, but not unsubstituted sphingosine, could be a modulator of protein kinase C in epidermoid carcinoma A431 cells, since N,N-dimethyl-D-erythrosphingenine showed a stronger stereospecific effect on protein kinase C activity in comparison with N,N-dimethyl-L-erythrosphingenine, unsubstituted

Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is involved in multiple pathological processes, including fibrogenesis. S1P participates in mouse liver fibrogenesis via a paracrine manner. Herein, we investigated the involvement of S1P in human liver fibrosis. Human fibrotic samples were obtained from livers of
