physiological function | the bacterial enzyme alone does not affect TNF-alpha gene expression in three-dimensionally cultured human primary keratinocytes. In the presence of the detergent Triton X-100, which damages stratum corneum structure, the active enzyme, but not heat-inactivated enzyme or inactive mutant enzyme, induces the production of TNF-alpha, endothelin-1, and interleukin-8, indicating that this production is dependent on ceramidase activity, it is also inhibited by a sphingosine kinase inhibitor and by an sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor antagonist VPC 23019. Among various ceramide metabolites, sphingosine and sphingosine 1-phosphate enhance the gene expression of TNF-alpha, endothelin-1, and interleukin-8, overview | Pseudomonas aeruginosa |
