Rac1 modulates sphingosine 1-phosphate-mediated activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase/Akt signaling pathways in vascular endothelial cells.
Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a platelet-derived sphingolipid that activates G protein-coupled S1P receptors and initiates a broad range of responses in vascular endothelial cells. The small GTPase Rac1 is implicated in diverse S1P-modulated cellular responses in endothelial cells, yet the molecular mechanisms involved in S1P-mediated Rac1 activation are incompletely understood. We studied t...

Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3-Ks) are an ubiquitous class of signaling enzymes that regulate diverse cellular processes including growth, differentiation, and motility. Physiological roles of PI3-Ks have traditionally been assigned using two pharmacological inhibitors, LY294002 and wortmannin. Although these compounds are broadly specific for the PI3-K family, they show little selectivity amo...
متن کاملSphingosine Kinase 2 Inhibition and Blood Sphingosine 1-Phosphate Levels.
Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) levels are significantly higher in blood and lymph than in tissues. This S1P concentration difference is necessary for proper lymphocyte egress from secondary lymphoid tissue and to maintain endothelial barrier integrity. Studies with mice lacking either sphingosine kinase (SphK) type 1 and 2 indicate that these enzymes are the sole biosynthetic source of S1P, but ...
متن کاملSphingosine kinase and sphingosine 1-phosphate in asthma.
Sphingolipids are amphiphatic molecules ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cell membranes. Initially characterized as structural components of cell membranes, sphingolipids have emerged as sources of important signalling molecules over the past decade. Sphingolipid metabolites, such as ceramide and S1P (sphingosine 1-phosphate), have been demonstrated to have roles as potent bioactive mes...
متن کاملReduced sphingosine kinase-1 and enhanced sphingosine 1-phosphate lyase expression demonstrate deregulated sphingosine 1-phosphate signaling in Alzheimer’s disease
BACKGROUND The accumulation of beta amyloid (Aβ) peptides, a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is related to mechanisms leading to neurodegeneration. Among its pleiotropic cellular effects, Aβ accumulation has been associated with a deregulation of sphingolipid metabolism. Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) derived from sphingosine is emerging as a critical lipid mediator regulating various biolo...
