    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Cell Biology
    • Immunology

    Context:

    • Cellular transformation and malignization are associated with significant biochemical alterations.
    • Sphingolipids play crucial roles in cell membrane structure and function.

    Purpose:

    • To review qualitative and quantitative changes in sphingolipids during cell malignization.
    • To discuss the impact of these sphingolipid alterations on cell membrane biology and immune responses.
    • To explore the potential of "sphingolipid" therapy for tumors.

    Summary:

    • This review examines how malignization affects sphingolipid profiles, including ceramides, sphingomyelins, and glycolipids.
    • It details the consequences of these sphingolipid changes on cell membrane properties and immune system modulation.
    • The therapeutic implications of targeting sphingolipids in cancer treatment are discussed.

    Impact:

    • Understanding sphingolipid dynamics in cancer can reveal novel biomarkers.
    • This knowledge may pave the way for developing targeted sphingolipid-based cancer therapies.
    • The findings contribute to the broader understanding of cancer cell biology and immune evasion mechanisms.
