Activation of Sphingosine Kinase by Tumor Necrosis Factor-α Inhibits Apoptosis in Human Endothelial Cells
Open accessAbstract
Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), like most normal cells, are resistant to tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF)-induced apoptosis in spite of TNF activating sphingomyelinase and generating ceramide, a known inducer of apoptosis. Here we report that TNF activates another key enzyme, sphingosine kinase (SphK), in the sphingomyelin metabolic pathway resulting in production of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and that S1P is a potent antagonist of TNF-mediated apoptosis. The TNF-induced SphK activation is independent of sphingomyelinase and ceramidase activities, suggesting that TNF affects this enzyme directly other than through a mass effect on sphingomyelin degradation. In contrast to normal HUVEC, in a spontaneously transformed endothelial cell line (C11) TNF stimulation failed to activate SphK and induced apoptosis as characterized by morphological and biochemical criteria. Addition of exogenous S1P or increasing endogenous S1P by phorbol ester markedly protected C11 cell line from TNF-induced apoptosis. Conversely, N, N-dimethylsphingosine, an inhibitor of SphK, profoundly sensitized normal HUVEC to killing by TNF. Thus, we demonstrate that the activation of SphK by TNF is an important signaling for protection from the apoptotic effect of TNF in endothelial cells.

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.
