Chronic and low-grade inflammation is associated with the initial steps of obesity. Ceramide kinase (CERK) is an enzyme which phosphorylates ceramide to produce ceramide 1-phosphate. Recently, evidence has emerged that CERK has a role in inflammatory signaling of immune cells. Since obesity is accompanied with chronic, low-grade inflammation, we examined whether CERK might involved using CERK-null mice. We determined that CERK deficiency suppresses diet-induced increases in body weight, and improves glucose intolerance. Furthermore, we demonstrated that CERK deficiency attenuates MCP-1/CCR2 signaling in macrophages infiltrating adipose tissue, resulting in the suppression of inflammation in adipose, which might otherwise lead to obesity and diabetes.

慢性和低度炎症与肥胖的初始步骤有关。神经酰胺激酶（CERK）是一种酶，可磷酸化神经酰胺以产生1-磷酸神经酰胺。最近，有证据表明，塞克在免疫细胞的炎症信号传导中起作用。由于肥胖症伴有慢性低级炎症，因此我们检查了Cerk是否可能参与使用Cerk-null小鼠。我们确定CERK缺乏症会抑制饮食引起的体重增加，并改善葡萄糖不耐症。此外，我们证明了CERK缺乏会减弱巨噬细胞中MCP-1/CCR2信号传导渗透脂肪组织，从而导致脂肪中炎症的抑制，否则可能会导致肥胖和糖尿病。
