Abstract

Increases in the pro-apoptotic lipid ceramide are thought to contribute to the efficacy of many anti-cancer agents used in the clinic. How the tumour suppressive activity of ceramide is exerted, however, remains poorly understood. Sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1) is a promoter of oncogenic signalling by the production of sphingosine-1-phosphate at the expense of pro-apoptotic lipids, ceramide and sphingosine.
