General description

C8 Ceramide-1-Phosphate (d17:1/8:0) is a novel bioactive sphingolipid. It is formed by the phosphorylation of C8-ceramide or N-octanoyl-D-erythro-sphingosine (C17 base) catalyzed by ceramide kinase (CERK). C1P is a sphingolipid analog of phosphatidate.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ceramide 1-phosphate (C1P) acts as a mitogenic agent. It exhibits antiapoptotic and prosurvival properties. C1P stimulates inflammatory response and facilitates phagocytosis. It also has an ability to negatively regulate tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) production induced by lipopolysaccharide. C1P is reputed to be a second lipid messenger of agonist-stimulated sphingomyelin metabolism.

LPS is a constituent of cell walls of Gram-negative bacteria that, acting through the CD14/TLR4 receptor complex, causes strong proinflammatory activation of macrophages. In murine peritoneal macrophages and J774 cells, LPS at 1-2 ng/ml induced maximal TNF-α and MIP-2 release

Ceramide, a product of agonist-stimulated sphingomyelinase activation, is known to be generated during the phagocytosis of antibody-coated erythrocytes by polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Agonist-stimulated formation of ceramide-1-phosphate is now shown to occur in 32PO4-labeled neutrophils. Ceramide-1-phosphate is formed by a calcium-dependent ceramide

It was reported previously that ceramide-1-phosphate (Cer-1-P) is mitogenic for fibroblasts (Gómez-Muñoz, A., P. A. Duffy, A. Martin, L. O'Brien, H-S. Byun, R. Bittman, and D. N. Brindley. 1995. Mol. Pharmacol. 47: 883-889; Gómez-Muñoz, A., L. M. Frago, L. Alvarez

Ceramide and ceramide-1-phosphate are sphingolipid analogues of diacylglycerol and phosphatidate, respectively, and they are putative second messengers of agonist-stimulated sphingomyelin metabolism. The interactions of exogenous cell-permeable ceramides and ceramide-1-phosphates in modifying DNA synthesis and signal transduction were investigated in Rat-1
