Targeted deletion of T-cell S1P receptor 1 ameliorates cardiac fibrosis in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice.
FASEB Journal : Official Publication of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology 2018 October
Infiltration of T cells is associated with patients who have diabetes at an increased risk of heart attack. T-cell sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1P1 )-mediated signaling directs T-lymphocyte trafficking. Effects of T-cell S1P1 activation on cardiac fibrosis in a murine diabetic model remain to be explored. For this purpose, conditional T-cell S1P1 knockout (TS1P1 KO) mice generated by crossing S1pr1 loxP/loxP mice with Lck-Cre mice were used in a model of streptozotocin-induced diabetic cardiomyopathy. The TS1P1 KO mice exhibited sustained deficiency of both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in the blood. The TS1P1 KO vehicle control mouse hearts featured an altered phenotype characterized by increased myocardial fibrosis and reduced cardiac contractility under normal levels of glucose. Compared with littermate diabetic mice, TS1P1 KO diabetic mice had improved cardiac function and alleviated cardiac fibrosis detected after 11 wk of diabetic induction. Our results indicate that T-cell S1P1 signaling activation plays a dual role in the pathogenesis of cardiac fibrosis with respect to the levels of glucose: T-cell S1P1 activation exerts antifibrotic effects in normoglycemia but exacerbates fibrosis under hyperglycemia.-Abdullah, C.
