Inhibition kinetics and regulation of sphingosine kinase 1 expression in prostate cancer cells: Functional differences between sphingosine kinase 1a and 1b. While we found JTE-013 to inhibit Des1, the observation that JTE-013 also increased sphingosine and ceramides in MV411 cells suggested the potential for JTE-013 to also inhibit sphingosine kinase activity in these cells. Surprisingly, JTE-013 treatment caused significant changes in the abundance of various sphingolipids (Fig. It has a reported low nanomolar affinity for S1P 2 (IC 50 17 ± 6 and 22 ± 9 nM for human and rat S1P 2, respectively) and showed selectivity against S1P 1 or S1P 3 at concentrations up to 10 μM in CHO cells expressing the receptors 8, 9.

In light of our current findings, with the knockdown of S1P 2 having no impact on AML cell viability (Fig.HEK293T cells were transfected with pcDNA3-Des1FLAG (10 μg) using Lipofectamine 2000 (ThermoFisher Scientific, 40 μL) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Our current study has uncovered three “off-targets” of JTE-013 in the sphingolipid signaling pathway, with Des1, SK1 and SK2 found to be inhibited by JTE-013 at low micromolar concentrations.

a) Lysates from Des1-FLAG expressing HEK293T cells were assayed with varying doses of NBD-dhCer-C6 (3, 1, 0. Since a number of SK1 inhibitors, like SKi (also known as SKI-II), cause SK1 degradation 19, we next tested whether JTE-013 induced degradation of SK1.a) Each person applying for a marriage license is encouraged to attend a premarital education course of at least eight hours during the year preceding the date of the application for the license.

This includes our own previous studies where we had employed JTE-013 to implicate S1P 2 in a role in AML cell survival through the stabilization of the pro-survival Mcl-1 protein 13. Here we examined this further and describe lipidomic analysis of AML cells that revealed JTE-013 caused alterations in sphingolipid metabolism, increasing cellular ceramides, dihydroceramides, sphingosine and dihydrosphingosine.

To examine this hypothesis, we employed an established Des1 assay using cells labelled with fluorescent NBD-C6-dhCer and followed the conversion of this substrate to NBD-C6-Cer using HPLC analysis. Since JTE-013 is known to antagonise S1P 2 and S1P 4 10, 15, which are both expressed at the mRNA level in MV411 cells 13, we next examined if the observed inhibition of Des1 by JTE-013 in these cells was downstream of S1P 2/4 antagonism. The cell pellets were suspended in 1 mL of chilled PBS and centrifuged at 2000× g for 5 min at 4 °C.
