Abstract excerpt
Lactosylceramide (LacCer) is a member of the glycosphingolipid family which has been recently recognized as a signaling intermediate in the regulation of cell proliferation and cell adhesion. In this paper, we present our studies pointing to a potential role of LacCer in inducing apoptosis. In our studies we employed a human osteosarcoma cell line MG-63 (wild type, WT) and a neutral sphingomyelinase (N-SMase)...
