Rewiring Endothelial Sphingolipid Metabolism to Favor S1P Over Ceramide Protects From Coronary Atherosclerosis.

These data demonstrated that hemodynamic stress induced a protective rewiring of sphingolipid metabolism, favoring S1P over ceramide. NOGO-B deletion sustained the rewiring of sphingolipid metabolism toward S1P protecting EC from activation under hemodynamic stress and refraining coronary atherosclerosis. These findings also set forth the foundation for sphingolipid-based therapeutics to limit atheroprogression.
