medicine | 89% of human colon cancer samples tested stain positively for SphK1, whereas normal colon mucosa has negative or weak staining. Adenomas have higher expression of SphK1 versus normal mucosa, and colon cancers with metastasis have higher expression of SphK1 than those without metastasis | Homo sapiens |
medicine | In the azoxymethane murine model of colon cancer, SphK1 and sphingosine 1-phosphate are significantly elevated in colon cancer tissues compared to normal mucosa. Blood levels of sphingosine 1-phosphate are higher in mice with colon cancers than in those without cancers. SphK1-/- mice subjected to azoxymethane have significantly less aberrant crypt foci formation and significantly reduced colon cancer development | Mus musculus |
