From the In this study, we describe an ordered
formation of long- and very long-chain ceramide species in relation to
the progression of B-cell receptor (BcR) triggering induced apoptosis.
An early and caspase-independent increase in long-chain ceramide
species, in which C16- ceramide predominated, was
observed 6 h after BcR triggering. In contrast, very long-chain
ceramide species were generated later, 12-24 h after BcR triggering.
The formation of these very long-chain ceramide species, in which
C24-ceramide predominated, required the activation of
effector caspases. BcR-induced formation of long-chain ceramide species
resulted in proteasomal activation and degradation of XIAP and
subsequent activation of effector caspases, demonstrating an important
cell-biological mechanism through which long-chain ceramides may be
involved in the progression of BcR triggering induced apoptosis and
subsequent formation of very long-chain ceramide species. BcR-induced
activation of the proteasome was blocked with ISP-1/myriocin, a
potent and selective inhibitor of serine palmitoyl transferase that
catalyzes the first and rate-limiting step in the de novo
formation of ceramide. Both ISP-1 and clasto-lactacystin

-lactone, an irreversible inhibitor of the proteasome, prevented BcR
cross-linking-induced XIAP degradation. Also, a mutant XIAP lacking the
ubiquitin-ligating ring finger motif was completely resistant to
proteasome-mediated degradation, and Ramos cells overexpressing XIAP
became highly resistant to BcR cross-linking-induced activation of
caspases. The formation of C16-ceramide in response to BcR
cross-linking was found unaltered in XIAP overexpressing Ramos cells,
whereas C24-ceramide formation was completely abolished.
These results demonstrate how de novo generated long-chain
ceramide species may be involved in the activation of downstream
effector caspases and subsequent formation of very long-chain ceramide
species. As such, these results provide novel and important insights
into the significance of specific ceramide species in defined stages of apoptosis.
