N-Oleoylethanolamine inhibits glucosylation of natural ceramides in CHP-100 neuroepithelioma cells: possible implications for apoptosis.

Abstract:

:We report that N-oleoylethanolamine (NOE), widely employed as a ceramidase inhibitor, also inhibits glucosylation of naturally occurring ceramides. When CHP-100 neuroepithelioma cells were exposed for 18h to non-toxic NOE concentrations (i.e. up to 70 microM), basal incorporation of labelled hexose into glucosylceramide (GlcCer) and higher order neutral glycosphingolipids was significantly inhibited. In cells treated with 30 microM N-hexanoylsphingosine (C6-Cer), NOE affected only marginally short-chain glucocerebroside accumulation, but markedly decreased accumulation of glucocerebrosides originating from glucosylation of a long-chain ceramide (Lc-Cer) pool produced upon C6-Cer treatment. Evidence is provided that NOE effects neither are mediated by their effects on ceramidase nor are due to enhanced long-chain GlcCer (Lc-GlcCer) conversion to higher order glycosylated derivatives. NOE inhibition of Lc-GlcCer generation was accompanied by enhanced accumulation of Lc-Cer and by potentiation of apoptosis induced by C6-Cer; the possible causal relationships between these two phenomena are discussed.

Maximal activity does not increase, however, when surplus E3 is present. This observation was previously interpreted to mean that the excess enzyme is inactive. ...
