Reviews of signal transduction have often focused on the cascades of protein kinases and protein phosphatases and their cytoplasmic substrates that become activated in response to extracellular signals. Lipids, lipid kinases, and lipid phosphatases have not received the same amount of attention as proteins in studies of signal transduction. However, lipids serve a variety of roles in signal transduction. They act as ligands that activate signal transduction pathways as well as mediators of… Expand

Effect of Intrinsic and Extrinsic Lipids on T-cell Signalling
TLDR
The modulation of TcR-dependent signalling events by lipids in in vitro and in vivo models focusing on the involvement of membrane rafts is reviewed, using clinical cases such as autoimmune diseases, aging and Alzheimer’s disease to illustrate recent findings. Expand
Regulation of Lipid Signaling by Diacylglycerol Kinases during T Cell Development and Function
TLDR
The roles of DAG-mediated pathways, PA-effectors, and DGKs in T cell development and function are discussed and recent work that has uncovered previously unappreciated roles for DGK activity is highlighted, for instance in invariant NKT cell development, anti-tumor and anti-viral CD8 responses, and the directional secretion of soluble effectors.

The sphingolipid ceramide has proven to be a powerful second-signal effector molecule that regulates diverse cellular processes including apoptosis, cell senescence, the cell cycle, and cellular differentiation and recent data suggesting that aberrant glycosylation of ceramide may be an important cause of drug resistance in certain cancers suggests that ceramide-mediated signaling cascades are critical components of chemotherapy-induced cell killing.
