Lysosomal enzyme acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) is known for regulating cellular ceramide, by converting sphingomyelin (SM) into ceramide. Mutations in SMPD1, the ASM encoding gene, cause Niemann-Pick disease with the symptoms of progressive hepatosplenomegaly, pulmonary defects, heart and brain disease. The alternation of Asm activity results in abnormal level of ceramide, and is involved in cancer, neuro-degeneration, cardiovascular diseases, apoptosis, and cystic fibrosis. There are a few studies demonstrating the relation of Asm with immune cells, however, its role is yet to be confirmed. The tAsm mouse model is a Smpd1 (sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1) transgen-ic mouse line, in which Asm is overexpressed. Using this mouse model the d...
