The DNA-alkylating agent temozolomide (TMZ) is currently the most efficient chemotoxic drug for GBM therapy; however, many patients develop resistance to TMZ. Combining TMZ with another agent could present an improved treatment option if it could overcome TMZ resistance and avoid side effects. Sphingosine kinase inhibitors (SKIs) have emerged as anticancer agents. Sphingosine kinases are often overexpressed in tumors where their activity of phosphorylating sphingosine (Sph) contributes to tumor growth and migration. They control the levels of the pro-apoptotic ceramide (Cer) and Sph and of the pro-survival sphingosine-1 phosphate. In the present work, TMZ was combined with a specific SKI, and the cytotoxic effect of each drug alone or in combination was tested on GBM cell lines. The combination of sublethal doses of both agents resulted in the cell death potentiation of GBM cell lines without affecting astrocyte viability. It triggered a caspase-3-dependent cell death that was preceded by accumulation of dihydrosphingosine (dhSph) and dihydroceramide (dhCer), oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and autophagy. Autophagy was identified as the crucial switch that facilitated induction of this cell death potentiation. The sublethal dose of the inhibitor induced these stress events, whereas that of TMZ induced the destructive autophagy switch. Remarkably, neither Cer nor Sph, but rather the Cer intermediates, dhSph and dhCer, was involved in the cytotoxicity from the combination. Cell lines sensitive to the combination expressed low levels of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase-1, indicating this enzyme as a potential marker of sensitivity to such treatment. This work shows for the first time a strong interaction between a SKI and TMZ, leading to a tumor cell-specific death induction. It further demonstrates the biological relevance of dihydrosphingolipids in cell death mechanisms and emphasizes the potential of drugs that affect sphingolipid metabolism for cancer therapy. 000119997 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-313$$a313 - Cancer risk factors and prevention (POF3-313)$$cPOF3-313$$fPOF III$$x0 000119997 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, PubMed, 000119997 650_7 $$2NLM Chemicals$$aAntineoplastic Agents 000119997 650_7 $$2NLM Chemicals$$aCeramides 000119997 650_7 $$2NLM Chemicals$$aEnzyme Inhibitors 000119997 650_7 $$2NLM Chemicals$$adihydroceramide 000119997 650_7 $$07GR28W0FJI$$2NLM Chemicals$$aDacarbazine 000119997 650_7 $$0EC 2.7.1.-$$2NLM Chemicals$$aPhosphotransferases (Alcohol Group Acceptor) 000119997 650_7 $$0EC 2.7.1.-$$2NLM Chemicals$$asphingosine kinase 000119997 650_7 $$0NGZ37HRE42$$2NLM Chemicals$$aSphingosine 000119997 650_7 $$0OWA98U788S$$2NLM Chemicals$$asafingol 000119997 650_7 $$0YF1K15M17Y$$2NLM Chemicals$$atemozolomide 000119997 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aChoi, J.$$b1 000119997 7001_ $$0P:(DE-He78)027fe772631b4a2d7a45c439cdd75ff2$$aRichter, Karsten$$b2$$udkfz 000119997 7001_ $$0P:(DE-He78)bb6a7a70f976eb8df1769944bf913596$$aKopp-Schneider, Annette$$b3$$udkfz 000119997 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aRégnier-Vigouroux, A.$$b4$$eLast author 000119997 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2541626-1$$a10.1038/cddis.2014.384$$gVol. 5, no. 9, p. e1425 -$$n9$$pe1425 -$$tCell death & disease$$v5$$x2041-4889$$y2014 000119997 909CO $$ooai:inrepo02.dkfz.de:119997$$pVDB 000119997 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2036810-0$$6P:(DE-HGF)0$$aDeutsches Krebsforschungszentrum$$b0$$kDKFZ 000119997 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2036810-0$$6P:(DE-HGF)0$$aDeutsches Krebsforschungszentrum$$b1$$kDKFZ 000119997 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2036810-0$$6P:(DE-He78)027fe772631b4a2d7a45c439cdd75ff2$$aDeutsches Krebsforschungszentrum$$b2$$kDKFZ 000119997 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2036810-0$$6P:(DE-He78)bb6a7a70f976eb8df1769944bf913596$$aDeutsches Krebsforschungszentrum$$b3$$kDKFZ 000119997 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2036810-0$$6P:(DE-HGF)0$$aDeutsches Krebsforschungszentrum$$b4$$kDKFZ 000119997 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-313$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-310$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-300$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bGesundheit$$lKrebsforschung$$vCancer risk factors and prevention$$x0 000119997 9141_ $$y2014 000119997 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR$$bCELL DEATH DIS : 2015 000119997 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS 000119997 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline 000119997 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0310$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bNCBI Molecular Biology Database 000119997 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0501$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bDOAJ Seal 000119997 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0500$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bDOAJ 000119997 915__ $$0LIC:(DE-HGF)CCBYNV$$2V:(DE-HGF)$$aCreative Commons Attribution CC BY (No Version)$$bDOAJ 000119997 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bThomson Reuters Master Journal List 000119997 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0111$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded 000119997 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection 000119997 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1030$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Life Sciences 000119997 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1050$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bBIOSIS Previews 000119997 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)9905$$2StatID$$aIF >= 5$$bCELL DEATH DIS : 2015 000119997 9201_ $$0I:(DE-He78)C060-20160331$$kC060$$lBiostatistik$$x0 000119997 980__ $$ajournal 000119997 980__ $$aVDB 000119997 980__ $$aI:(DE-He78)C060-20160331 000119997 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED
