Sphingoid Bases and Ceramide Induce Apoptosis in HT-29 and HCT-116 Human Colon Cancer Cells
1 May 2002
Abstract excerpt
Complex dietary sphingolipids such as sphingomyelin and glycosphingolipids have been reported to inhibit development of colon cancer. This protective role may be the result of turnover to bioactive metabolites including sphingoid bases (sphingosine and sphinganine) and ceramide, which inhibit proliferation and stimulate apoptosis. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of sphingoid bases...
