DHC24:1-Cer, C24:1-dihydroceramide; C14-SM, C14-sphingomyelin. Similar abbreviations were used for other dihydroceramides and sphingomyelins, respectively. Sph, sphingosine; Sph-1P, sphingosine-1-phosphate, DHSph-1P, dihydrosphingosine-1-phosphate; DHSph, dihydrosphingosine.

The FCG is the estimated fold-change between cell lines (groups) regarding a sphingolipid response, assuming a constant PDT dose. The FCD is the estimated fold-change in response to each 100 units of dose (light fluence), regardless of the group. The pGroupFDR and the pDoseFDR are corresponding adjusted p-values using false discovery rate algorithm. Bold type indicates statistical significance.
