Recent studies indicate that tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin 1 (IL-1) stimulate cells via the intracellular messenger ceramide. Bacterial endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide; LPS) shows strong structural and functional resemblance to ceramide. Here, Samuel Wright and Richard Kolesnick review data suggesting that LPS may provoke cellular responses by mimicking the action of ceramide.
近期研究表明,肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)和白细胞介素1(IL-1)通过细胞内信使神经酰胺刺激细胞。细菌内毒素(脂多糖;LPS)在结构和功能上与神经酰胺有很强的相似性。在此,塞缪尔·赖特和理查德·科尔斯尼克回顾了相关数据,这些数据表明LPS可能通过模拟神经酰胺的作用引发细胞反应。
