F , lipids were extracted from the esophagus and anterior stomach of 6-month-old WT (n = 3) and Degs2 KO (n = 3) mice, and PHS-CERs, SPH-CERs containing 2-hydroxy FA (2-OH CERs), and SPH-CERs containing 3-hydroxy FA (3-OH CERs) were quantified via LC-MS/MS. Values presented are means + SD of the total quantities of PHS-CERs, 2-OH CERs, and 3-OH CERs. G and H , DEGS1 KO HAP1 cells were transfected with pCE-puro 3× FLAG-SPTLC1, pCE-puro 3× FLAG-SPTSSB, and pCE-puro HA-SPTLC3 plasmids together with pEFh-3× FLAG-1 (vector), pEFh-3× FLAG-DEGS1, or pEFh-3× FLAG-DEGS2 plasmid, and cultured for 24 h. G , proteins were prepared and subjected to immunoblotting (IB) with anti-FLAG, anti-HA, or anti-GAPDH (loading control) antibodies. H , lipids were extracted, and d20:1 SPH-CERs and t20:0 PHS-CERs were analyzed via LC-MS/MS. Values presented are means + SD of the total quantities of the respective lipids, with FA chain length color coded (n = 3; ∗∗ p < 0.01; Dunnett’s test versus vector control for d20:1 SPH-CERs and Student’s t test for t20:0 PHS-CERs). CER, ceramide; DHS-CER, DHS containing CER; FA, fatty acid; PHS-CER, PHS-containing CER; SPH-CER, SPH-containing CER.

    Figure Lengend Snippet: Tissue distribution of t20:0 PHS-CERs and their production by DEGS2. A and B , lipids were extracted from six tissues (kidney, esophagus, anterior stomach, posterior stomach, small intestine, and large intestine) of 2-month-old WT mice (n = 3), and the quantities of SPH-CERs and PHS-CERs containing LCBs with chain lengths from d/t16 to d/t26 were quantified via LC-MS/MS. Values presented are means + SD of the total quantities of SPH-CERs and PHS-CERs ( A ; LCB chain lengths are color coded) and the quantities of t18:0- or t20:0-containing PHS-CERs ( B ; FA chain lengths are color-coded). C , lipids were extracted from the esophagus and anterior stomach of six-month-old WT (n = 3) and Degs2 KO (n = 3) mice, and the quantities of t18:0 and t20:0 PHS-CERs were examined via LC-MS/MS. Values presented are means + SD of the total quantities of PHS-CERs, with FA species color coded. D and E , esophagus and anterior stomach of 6-month-old WT and Degs2 KO mice were prepared and subjected to hematoxylin/eosin staining ( D ) and lucifer yellow assay ( E ).
