Staphylococcus aureus α-toxin induces acid sphingomyelinase release from a human endothelial cell line

D. Krones, M. Rühling, K. A. Becker, T. C. Kunz, C. Sehl, K. Paprotka, E. Gulbins, M. J. Fraunholz

This study shows that Staphylococcus aureus α-toxin induces acid sphingomyelinase release from endothelial cells through mechanisms involving Ca2+ influx and lysosome recruitment.
