Ceramide is unusually abundant in epidermal stratum corneum and is important for permeability barrier function. Ceramides in epidermis also comprise an unusual variety, including 2-hydroxy (alpha-hydroxy)-ceramide. Six mammalian ceramide synthase/longevity assurance homologue (CerS/LASS) family members have been identified as synthases responsible for ceramide (CER) production. We reveal here that of the six, CerS3/LASS3 mRNA is the most predominantly expressed in keratinocytes. Moreover, its expression is increased upon differentiation. CerS family members have known substrate specificities for fatty acyl-CoA chain length and saturation, yet their abilities to produce 2-hydroxy-CER have not been examined. In the present study, we demonstrate that all CerS members can produce 2-hydroxy-CER when overproduced in HEK 293T cells. Each produced a 2-hydroxy-CER with a chain length similar to that of the respective nonhydroxy-CER produced. In HeLa cells overproducing the FA 2-hydroxylase FA2H, knock-down of CerS2 resulted in a reduction in total long-chain 2-hydroxy-CERs, confirming enzyme substrate specificity for chain length. In vitro CerS assays confirmed the ability of CerS1 to utilize 2-hydroxy-stearoyl-CoA as a substrate. These results suggest that all CerS members can synthesize 2-hydroxy-CER with specificity for 2-hydroxy-fatty acyl-CoA chain length and that CerS3 may be important in CER and 2-hydroxy-CER synthesis in epidermis. << Less
