摘要：
Experiments were designed to examine the role of sphingosine, PP2A phosphatases, and protein kinase C (PKC) inhibition in mediating the vasodilatory effects of ceramide in rat thoracic aorta. Sphingosine did not cause vasorelaxation, and oleoylethanolamine, a ceramidase inhibitor, did not affect sphingomyelinase-induced relaxation. Okadaic acid potentiated the relaxation response to ceramide. These observations rule out involvement of sphingosine and PP2A phosphatases in mediating ceramide-induced relaxation. Sphingomyelinase attenuated contractile and single-cell intracellular calcium responses to phorbol ester. Chelerythrine incubation potentiated the relaxation response to ceramide. These observations support a role for PKC inhibition in mediating the vasodilatory effects of ceramide. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
