S1P

PURPOSE: Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a signaling lipid involved in many biological processes, including inflammatory and immune regulatory responses. The study aimed to determine whether admission S1P levels are associated with disease severity and prognosis after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). METHODS: Data of 134 patients with spontaneous ICH and 120 healthy controls were obtained from Biological Resource Sample Database of Intracerebral Hemorrhage at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University...

Inflammation plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of various kidney diseases. Kidney perivascular cells (pericytes/fibroblasts) are responsible for producing proinflammatory molecules, promoting immune cell infiltration, and enhancing inflammation. Vascular adhesion protein-1, expressed in kidney perivascular cells, is an ectoenzyme that catalyzes the oxidative deamination of primary amines with the production of hydrogen peroxide in the extracellular space. Our study demonstrated that blocking this enzyme suppressed hydrogen peroxide production and neutrophil infiltration, thereby reducing renal ischemia-reperfusion injury...

OBJECTIVE: Multiple sclerosis (MS) has a multi-factorial etiology involving genetic factors. Fingolimod (Gilenya ®, FTY720) modulates the G-protein-coupled sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptors, S1PR1 , 2, 3, 4 and 5. Variation in the human S1PR1 coding sequence results in heterogeneity in the function of the receptor. Interleukin-17, producing CD4+ T cells, tends to be increased after treatment with Fingolimod. The aim of the study was to investigate singlenucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the S1PR1 gene or interleukin-17 (IL-17) levels in a small group of Iranian relapsing-remitting MS patients treated with Fingolimod...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Pivotal trials in ulcerative colitis have historically excluded patients with isolated proctitis. Etrasimod is an oral, oncedaily, selective sphingosine 1phosphate1,4,5 receptor modulator for the treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. This post hoc analysis assessed efficacy and safety of etrasimod 2 mg once daily in patients with isolated proctitis (centrally read) from the phase 3 ELEVATE UC 52 and ELEVATE UC 12 trials. METHODS: Patients, including those with isolated proctitis (<10 cm rectal involvement) who met all other inclusion criteria in ELEVATE UC 52 and ELEVATE UC 12, were randomised 2:1 to receive etrasimod or placebo...

Sepsis is characterized as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to an infection. Despite numerous clinical trials that addressed this syndrome, there is still no causative treatment available to dampen its severity. Curtailing the infection at an early stage with anti-infectives is the only effective treatment regime besides intensive care. In search for additional treatment options, we recently discovered the inhibition of the sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) lyase and subsequent activation of the S1P receptor type 3 (S1PR3) in pre-conditioning experiments as promising targets for sepsis prevention...

Sphingosine-1-phosphate and its receptors (S1PRs) are involved in several diseases such as auto immunity, inflammation and cardiovascular disorders. The S1P analogue fingolimod (Gilenya®) is currently in use for the treatment of relapsing multiple sclerosis. S1PRs are also promising targets for clinical molecular imaging in vivo. The organ distribution of individual S1PRs can be potentially achieved by using S1PR subtype-specific (radiolabeled) chemical probes. Here, we report our efforts on synthesis and in vivo potency determination of new ligands for the S1P receptor 3 (S1P3 ) based on the S1P3 antagonist TY-52156 and in validation of a potential imaging tracer in vivo using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) after 18 F-labelling...

Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors and sphingosine 1 phosphate (S1P) receptor modulators are small molecule drugs (SMDs) approved for IBD treatment. Their use in clinical practice might be limited due to cardiovascular concerns. We aimed to provide guidance on risk assessment, monitoring, and management strategies, aiming to minimize potential cardiovascular risks of SMDs and to facilitate an adequate shared decision-making. A systematic literature search was conducted, and proposed statements were prepared. A virtual consensus meeting was held, in which eleven IBD physicians and two cardiovascular specialists from ten countries attended...

High-density lipoproteins (HDL) carry sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and stimulate signaling pathways in different cells including macrophages and endothelial cells, involved in atherosclerotic plaque development. HDL signaling via S1P relies on the HDL receptor scavenger receptor class B, type I (SR-B1) and the sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1), which interact when both are heterologously overexpressed in the HEK293 cell line. In this study, we set out to test if SR-B1 and S1PR1 interacted in primary murine macrophages in culture and atherosclerotic plaques...

PURPOSE: FTY720 is an agonist of the Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor 1, 3, 4, and 5 and a functional antagonist of the S1P1 receptor; it can inhibit the activation of mTOR/NF-κB and has therapeutic potential in inflammatory disease. This study was designed to determine the role of the inflammatory process in diabetic retinopathy and investigate the effect of FTY720 on high glucose (HG)-induced rat retinal Müller cells (rMC-1 cells). METHODS: In the present study, the role of FTY720 in inhibiting inflammation and its underlying mechanism were investigated...

Sphingolipids serve as essential components of biomembrane and possess significant bioactive properties. Sphingosine-1-phophate (S1P) plays a key role in plant resistance to stress, but its specific impact on plant growth and development remains to be fully elucidated. Cotton fiber cells are an ideal material for investigating the growth and maturation of plant cells. In this study, we examined the content and composition of sphingosine (Sph) and S1P throughout the progression of fiber cell development. The content of S1P elevated gradually during fiber elongation but declined during the transition stage...

Intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) are T cells important for the maintenance of barrier integrity in the intestine. Colon IELs are significantly reduced in both MyD88-deficient mice and those lacking an intact microbiota, suggesting that MyD88-mediated detection of bacterial products is important for the recruitment and/or retention of these cells. Here, using conditionally deficient MyD88 mice, we show that myeloid cells are the key mediators of TCRαβ+ IEL recruitment to the colon. Upon exposure to luminal bacteria, myeloid cells produce sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) in a MyD88-dependent fashion...

OBJECTIVE: Availability of multimodal treatment strategies, including targeted therapies and immunotherapies, have improved the survival of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). However, some patients still progress or respond poorly due to inherent resistance, acquired resistance, or lack of druggable driver mutations. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor (ROR1/2) signaling pathways are activated during lung carcinogenesis. METHODS: In this study, we have evaluated the crosstalk of S1P and ROR1/2 signaling pathways in lung cancer cells...

BACKGROUND: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive cancer resistant to current therapies, including oxaliplatin (Oxa). Growing evidence supports the ability of cancers to harness sphingolipid metabolism for survival. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is an anti-apoptotic, pro-survival mediator that can influence cellular functions such as endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. We hypothesize that PDAC drives dysregulated sphingolipid metabolism and that S1P inhibition can enhance ER stress to improve therapeutic response to Oxa in PDAC...

BACKGROUND: Spinster homologue 2 (SPNS2) is a transporter of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), a bioactive lipid linked to cancer progression. We studied the link between SPNS2 gene expression, tumor aggressiveness, and outcomes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS: Gene expression in patients with HCC was analyzed from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) (n = 350) and GSE76427 (n = 115) as a validation cohort, as well as liver tissue cohort GSE6764 (n = 75)...

Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) are bioactive phospholipids that act as mitogens in various cancers. Both LPA and S1P activate G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). We examined the role of CCN1/CYR61, an inducible matricellular protein, in LPA-induced signal transduction in PC-3 human prostate cancer cells. We found that both LPA and S1P induced expression of CCN1 and CCN2 within 2-4 h. CCN1 was induced by 18:1-LPA, but not by 18:0-, 18:2-, or 18:3-LPAs. A free fatty acid receptor-4 agonist inhibited LPA-induced CCN1 induction...

Neuropathic pain is a chronic and severe syndrome for which effective therapy is insufficient and the release of ATP from microglia induced by sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) plays a vital role in neuropathic pain. Therefore, there is an urgent demand to develop highly sensitive and selective ATP biosensors for quantitative monitoring of low-concentration ATP in the complex nervous system, which helps in understanding the mechanism involved in neuropathic pain. Herein, we developed an electrochemical microsensor based on an entropy-driven bipedal DNA walker...

Immunomodulatory and immunosuppressive therapy is needed in people with a chronic neuroinflammatory disease of the central nervous system such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Therefore, MS requires monitoring for and preventing against infectious diseases like SARS-CoV-2. Vaccination and anti-viral treatments are, in particular, recommended for elderly people and people at risk of a severe course of infection and of MS. Here, we asked whether repetitive infection or vaccination influenced responses upon receiving high efficacy treatments, namely sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulator (S1P) or anti-CD20 B cell antibody (anti-CD20) treatments...
