Endothelial cells contain 20-fold more acid sphingomyelinase (ASMase) than any other cell in the body. ASMase hydrolyzes sphingomyelin, which is preferentially concentrated in the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane of all mammalian cells, to generate the second messenger ceramide. We initially showed that high dose ionizing radiation activates endothelial cell ASMase, thereby inducing apoptosis and microvascular dysfunction in multiple murine organs, and that ASMase KO mice are resistant to all clinically-relevant radiation doses (Santana et al., Cell 1996, 86:189-199). Our lab was studying normal tissue damage prior to 9/11 and showed that ASMase/ceramide mediated vascular damage played a fundamental role in lethality from the Gastrointestinal-Acute Radiation Syndrome (GI-ARS) in mice...
