Direct Inhibition of Mitochondrial Respiratory Chain Complex III by Cell-permeable Ceramide
Open accessAbstract
Ceramide is a lipid second messenger that mediates the effects of tumor necrosis factor alpha and other agents on cell growth and differentiation. Ceramide is believed to act via activation of protein phosphatase, proline-directed protein kinase, or protein kinase C. Tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced common pathway of apoptosis is associated with an early impairment of mitochondria. Herein, we demonstrate that ceramide can directly inhibit mitochondrial respiratory chain function. In isolated mitochondria, a rapid decline of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation occurs in the presence of N-acetylsphingosine (C2-ceramide), a synthetic cell-permeable ceramide analog. An investigation of the site of ceramide action revealed that the activity of respiratory chain complex III is reduced by C2-ceramide with half-maximum effect at 5-7 microM. In contrast, N-acetylsphinganine (C2-dihydroceramide), which lacks a functionally critical double bond and is ineffective in cells, did not alter mitochondrial respiration or complex III activity. We suggest that these in vitro observations may set the stage for identifying a novel mechanism of regulation of mitochondrial function in vivo.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
