Liu, IRF8 Regulates Acid
Ceramidase Expression to Mediate Apoptosis and Suppresses Myelogeneous Leukemia, J.
In this study we have evaluated the pro-apoptotic effect of ceranib-2, a human
ceramidase inhibitor and of a short-chain C2 ceramide on human lung adenocarcinoma cells, A549 by determining cytotoxicity of these agents by trypan blue assay, apoptosis inducing ability by annexin V and JC-1 staining and ultrastructural alterations by transmission electron microscopy.

Novel pathway of ceramide production in mitochondria: thioesterase and neutral
ceramidase produce ceramide from sphingosine and acyl-CoA.
As for the mechanism involved in the decreased production of sphingosine in atopic dermatitis, analysis of the activities of
ceramidases, major sphingosine-producing enzymes, revealed that, whereas the activity of alkaline
ceramidase did not differ between patients with atopic dermatitis and healthy controls, the activity of acid
ceramidase was significantly reduced in patients with atopic dermatitis and this had obvious relevance to the increased colonization of bacteria in those subjects.
D-galactosyl-sn -glycerol + 2 carboxylates
Ceramidase 3.
It is composed of a calcium compound and a
ceramidase inhibitor, and exhibits three main actions, which have been demonstrated in vitro to promote the structuring and stabilization of the stratum corneum.
Michael Daley of Kimberly-Clark provided details on how controlling
ceramidase can improve skin health.
