چکیده انگلیسی
We previously showed that degradation of cellular sphingomyelin (SM) by SMase C results in a greater stimulation of cholesterol translocation to endoplasmic reticulum, compared to its degradation by SMase D. Here we investigated the hypothesis that the effect of SMase C is partly due to the generation of ceramide, rather than due to depletion of SM alone. Inhibition of hydroxymethylglutaryl CoA reductase (HMGCR) activity was used as a measure of cholesterol translocation. Treatment of fibroblasts with SMase C resulted in a 90% inhibition of HMGCR, whereas SMase D treatment inhibited it by 29%. Treatment with exogenous ceramides, or increasing the endogenous ceramide levels also inhibited HMGCR by 60-80%. Phosphorylation of HMGCR was stimulated by SMase C or exogenous ceramide. The effects of ceramide and SMase D were additive, indicating the independent effects of SM depletion and ceramide generation. These results show that ceramide regulates sterol trafficking independent of cellular SM levels.
