Alteration of the 4-sphingenine scaffolds of ceramides in keratinocyte-specific Arnt-deficient mice affects skin barrier function.
Aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT), a transcription factor of the Per/AHR/ARNT/Sim family, regulates gene expression in response to environmental stimuli including xenobiotics and hypoxia. To examine its role in the epidermis, the Cre-loxP system was used to disrupt the Arnt gene in a keratinocyte-specific manner. Gene-targeted, newborn mice with almost normal appearance died...
متن کاملSynthesis and Biological Evaluation of 4-hydroxychromenyl arylmethyl-6-hydroxy pyrimidine-2, 4-dione Derivatives
Background: An efficient, promoted tri-component catalytic reaction between barbituric acid (or N,N-dimethyl barbituric acid), 4-hydroxy coumarin, and a wide range of aryl aldehydes using zinc oxide nanowires (ZnO NWs) to obtain some new 4-hydroxychromenylarylmethyl-6-hydroxypyrimidine-2,4-diones is described. Method: The reactants were successfully condensed ...
متن کاملEnzymatic formation of hydroxy ceramides and comparison with enzymes forming nonhydroxy ceramides.
Radioactive 2-hydroxystearic and cerebronic acids were converted to the coensyme A thio esters, then tested for reactivity with n-sphingosine. Microsomes from mouse brain were found to catalyze the formation of ceramides containing both hydroxy acids. Both the Dand L-forms of the hydroxy acids reacted. Comparisons of reactivity were made with stearoyl and lignoceroyl CoA, the analogous nonhydro...
متن کاملCrystal structures of 4-methoxy-6-methyl- and 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2-pyrones.
interesting results because of the regular arrangement of the molecules in the environment.1–3 We previously reported on the photocycloaddition reaction of 4-methoxy-6-methyl-2-pyrone (1a) (Fig. 1) with maleimide (2) in the solid state to give a highly stereoselective [2 + 2] cycloadduct4 owing to the formation of two sets of 1:1 complex crystals between (1a) and (2) (Fig. 1).5 The crystal show...
متن کاملEpidermal sphingomyelins are precursors for selected stratum corneum ceramides.
Epidermal ceramides (Cer) comprise a heterogeneous family of seven species, including two unique omega-hydroxylated Cer, that are key components of the stratum corneum (SC) intercellular lamellar membranes responsible for the epidermal permeability barrier. Although both glucosylceramide (GlcCer) and the phospho-sphingolipid sphingomyelin (SM) are potential precursors of SC Cer, based on report...
