Description of Sphingomyelins

Sphingomyelins are a dominant sphingolipid in membranes of mammalian cells, and this lipid class is specifically enriched in the plasma membrane [1]. Sphingomyelins have a favorable interaction with cholesterol (and other sterols), regulating the distribution of cholesterol within the cell membrane and maintaining the cholesterol homeostasis [2]. Sphingomyelins have been widely used to regulate the lipid mobility of high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and the extracellular flow of cholesterol[3].

In vitro, Sphingomyelins treatment (50µM) for 1 hour significantly promoted the vacuolation in HeLa cells mediated by 10nM vacuolating cytotoxin (VacA)[4].

In vivo, Sphingomyelins treatment via oral administration at a dose of 8mg daily for 7 days aggravated the intestinal mucosal inflammation in a mouse model of colitis induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS), and impaired the intestinal mucosal function[5]. Oral administration of 0.05% Sphingomyelins in AIN76A diet for 45 weeks significantly inhibited the progression of colon tumors induced by 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH) in mice[6].

Protocol of Sphingomyelins

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

HeLa cells

Preparation Method

HeLa cells were grown in minimum essential medium (MEM) with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum (FBS), 100μg/ml streptomycin, and 100U/ml penicillin at 37°C in 5% CO2/atmosphere. HeLa cells were pretreated for 1h with different concentrations of Sphingomyelins (0,1 5, 10, 25, and 50µM) and were then further incubated at 37°C with 10nM VacA. After 24h, cells were evaluated by DIC microscopy or neutral red uptake assays. DIC images of cells stained with neutral red.

Reaction Conditions

0,1 5, 10, 25, and 50µM; 1h

Applications

Sphingomyelins treatment significantly promoted VacA-mediated vacuolation in HeLa cells in a dose-dependent manner.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Female C57-BL/6J-Fue mice

Preparation Method

Female C57-BL/6J-Fue mice were housed singly in a standard environment with food and water ad libitum. Acute colitis was induced in C57-BL/6 mice with 2.0% DSS over 7 days. 8mg of Sphingomyelins (calculated as 0.2% of the total daily food intake) was resuspended in drinking water and applied by oral gavage for 7 days. Assessment of colonoscopy and histological score in mice.

Dosage form

8mg/day for 7 days; p.o.

Applications

Sphingomyelins treatment significantly aggravated the intestinal mucosal inflammation in mice with DSS-mediated colitis.
