Journal ArticleDOI
Pretreatment neutrophil count as an independent prognostic factor in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer: an analysis of Japan Multinational Trial Organisation LC00-03.
Satoshi Teramukai,Toshiyuki Kitano,Yusuke Kishida,Masaaki Kawahara,Kaoru Kubota,K Komuta,Koichi Minato,T. Mio,Yuka Fujita,Toshiro Yonei,Kikuo Nakano,Masahiro Tsuboi,Kazuhiko Shibata,Kiyoyuki Furuse,Masanori Fukushima +14 more
TL;DR: It is confirmed that pretreatment elevated neutrophil count is an independent prognostic factor in patients with advanced NSCLC receiving modern chemotherapy, and it may be a useful indicator of patient prognosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression cloning of a human cDNA restoring sphingomyelin synthesis and cell growth in sphingomyelin synthase-defective lymphoid cells.
TL;DR: The results suggest that SMS1 is responsible for SM synthase activity in mammalian cells and plays a critical role in cell growth of mouse lymphoid cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Astroglial expression of ceramide in Alzheimer's disease brains: a role during neuronal apoptosis.
Hitoshi Satoi,Hidekazu Tomimoto,Ryo Ohtani,Toshiyuki Kitano,Tadakazu Kondo,Mitsumasa Watanabe,Nobuyuki Oka,Ichiro Akiguchi,Shigeki Furuya,Yoshio Hirabayashi,Toshiro Okazaki +10 more
TL;DR: A regulatory mechanism of intracellular ceramide through inhibition of GlcCer synthase and a possible role of ceramide as an extracellular/intercellular mediator for neuronal apoptosis are suggested.
Journal Article
Possible Role of Ceramide as an Indicator of Chemoresistance: Decrease of the Ceramide Content via Activation of Glucosylceramide Synthase and Sphingomyelin Synthase in Chemoresistant Leukemia
Mitsuru Itoh,Toshiyuki Kitano,Mitsumasa Watanabe,Tadakazu Kondo,Takeshi Yabu,Yoshimitu Taguchi,Kazuya Iwai,Masaro Tashima,Takashi Uchiyama,Toshiro Okazaki +9 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that a decrease of the ceramide level via activation of GCS and SMS is associated with the chemoresistant condition in leukemia, probably in relation to Bcl-2 but not to MDR-1 expression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity and Complexity of Ceramide Signalling in Apoptosis
TL;DR: The review summarises the diversity and complexity of up- and downstream of ceramide signalling in apoptosis and clinical implications of Ceramide-induced apoptosis.
