Involvement of de novo ceramide biosynthesis in macrophage death induced by activation of ATP-sensitive P2X7 receptor
چکیده انگلیسی

Macrophage ionotropic P2X7 receptors regulate cell-death through ill-defined signaling pathways. Here, we investigated the role of ceramide, an apoptogenic sphingolipid and showed that ATP stimulated ceramide accumulation in macrophages. Benzoylbenzoyl-ATP, a potent P2X7 agonist, was able to mimic the effects of ATP on ceramide accumulation while oxidized ATP had the opposite effect. Ceramide accumulation was blocked by de novo ceramide biosynthesis inhibitors. Interestingly, ATP-induced caspase-3/7 activation was dependent on ceramide generation. Finally, we showed that de novo ceramide biosynthesis is involved in ATP-induced macrophage death in a caspase-dependent manner. Our results indicate a novel role of ceramide in P2X7-regulated cell-death.
