General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction cells lacking acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) have decreased ceramide 1-phosphate production following TNF-alpha treatment, suggesting that ASM may be acting upstream of CERK. Effect of CERK knockdown on lipid levels of ceramide 1-phosphate, ceramide, and sphingosine, overview. Knockdown of CERK in the presence of ASM overexpression led to a decrease in CCL5 levels on the protein and message levels Homo sapiens
metabolism functional role of the ASM/CERK pathway in cancer cell migration, and of the ASM/CERK signaling axis in cytokines associated with EMT, cell migration, and invasiveness Homo sapiens
physiological function TNF-alpha induces the formation of ceramide 1-phosphate (C-1-P) in a CERK-dependent manner. Silencing of CERK blocks CCL5 production in response to TNF-alpha. ASM and CERK induce a highly concordant program of cytokine production and both are required for migration of breast cancer cells. ASM can produce ceramide which is then converted to ceramide 1-phosphate by CERK, and that ceramide 1-phosphate is required for production of CCL5 and several cytokines and chemokines, with roles in cell migration. Enzyme CERK is required for CCL5 production and sufficient to induce CCL5 in MCF-7 breast cancer cells Homo sapiens
