dc.description.abstract | Ceramides, lipid molecules located predominantly within the plasma membrane of a cell, can function as second messengers, and have been known to carry out a number of cellular functions. T helper type 1 (Th1) immune responses are known to be involved in the cellular immunity, which is crucial in the cancer and allergy immunotherapy. This study was designed to evaluate the effects of ceramides on T helper cell responses and their underlying mechanisms. We demonstrated that a cell-permeable C6-ceramide (C6) together with IL-12 enhanced Th1 cell differentiation, whereas C6 alone had no effects, as demonstrated by the increased populations of IFN-gamma expressing CD4(+) T cells and the up-regulation of IFN-gamma production from CD4(+) T cells. In contrast, C2-ceramide and long chain ceramides (C16 and C24) did not affect the Th1 responses. C6 treatment was shown to increase the expression of T-bet, a master transcription factor of Th1 responses, in a dose-dependent fashion. Furthermore, C6 increased the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in CD4(+) T cells. The C6-mediated increase of IFN-gamma production and IFN-gamma expressing CD4(+) T cell populations were significantly suppressed by a COX-2 specific inhibitor (NS-398) in a dose-dependent manner. T-bet expression was also decreased by NS-398 treatment, thereby indicating that C6 ceramide enhances Th1 responses via a COX-2 dependent pathway. This result demonstrates that C6 may be utilized in therapies for the treatment of immune diseases such cancer and allergy by enhancing the Th1 activity. (C) 2011 Elsevier GmbH.
