Cytokine-stimulated metabolism of sphingomyelin results in the accumulation of ceramide and sphingosine which play a part in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, and reception, as well as in oncogenesis. Formation of TNF-alpha (a member of the cytokine family), accumulation of sphingosine, and DNA synthesis (measured by immunoblotting, HPLC, and [3H]thymidine incorporation, respectively) were studied in rat liver after partial hepatectomy. The content of TNF-alpha was found to increase during 12 h following hepatectomy. The maximum of sphingomyelinase activity and accumulation of sphingosine precede the maximum of DNA synthesis. Sphingosine is known to inhibit protein kinase C. On the other hand, it stimulates the metabolism of phosphatidylinositol, thus causing accumulation of diacylglycerol and inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate, which in turn activate protein kinase C. Hence, the release of TNF-alpha in regenerating liver may modulate DNA synthesis through the accumulation of sphingosine which is involved in regulation of protein kinase C activity and of phosphatidylinositol turnover.

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
