                    Biological
                    Regulation
Increase Mitochondrial membrane potential loss
                    In-vitro Model LL/2 (LLC1) CVCL_4358 Malignant tumors Mus musculus
                    Experimental
                    Result(s)
The radiosensitizing activity of ceramide/DMS on LLC cells most likely reflects the dominance of pro-apoptotic signals related to the mitochondria-dependent pathway.

                    Biological
                    Regulation
Induction Apoptosis
Induction Cell cycle arrest in S and G2/M phase
                    In-vitro Model B16 CVCL_F936 Mouse melanoma Mus musculus
MCF-7 CVCL_0031 Invasive breast carcinoma Homo sapiens
                    In-vivo Model B16 tumor-bearing mice. Kunming mice (18-22 g) was inoculated with B16 melanoma cells (3 * 105) by subcutaneously injection at the right axillary space.
                    Experimental
                    Result(s)
Ceramide could enhance the antitumor activity of Docetaxel in a synergistic manner, which suggest promising application prospects of Ceramide + Docetaxel combination treatment.
