Sphingosine kinase type 2 inhibition elevates circulating sphingosine 1-phosphate.
S1P (sphingosine 1-phosphate) is a pleiotropic lipid mediator involved in numerous cellular and physiological functions. Of note among these are cell survival and migration, as well as lymphocyte trafficking. S1P, which exerts its effects via five GPCRs (G-protein-coupled receptors) (S1P1-S1P5), is formed by the action of two SphKs (sphingosine kinases). Although SphK1 is the more intensively s...
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 کاملSmad3-mediated upregulation of miR-21 promotes renal fibrosis.
TGF-β/Smad signaling plays a role in fibrogenesis, but therapies targeting TGF-β are ineffective in treating renal fibrosis. Here, we explored the therapeutic potential of targeting TGF-β-induced microRNA in the progression of renal fibrosis. Microarray analysis and real-time PCR revealed upregulation of miR-21 in tubular epithelial cells (TECs) in response to TGF-β. Lack of Smad3, but not lack...
متن کاملSphingosine-1-phosphate produced by sphingosine kinase 1 promotes breast cancer progression by stimulating angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis.
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a pleiotropic bioactive lipid mediator that promotes breast cancer progression by diverse mechanisms that remain somewhat unclear. Here we report pharmacologic evidence of a critical role for sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1) in producing S1P and mediating tumor-induced hemangiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis in a murine model of breast cancer metastasis. S1P levels in...
متن کاملSphingosine 1-phosphate regulates regeneration and fibrosis after liver injury via sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 2.
Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), a bioactive lipid mediator, stimulates proliferation and contractility in hepatic stellate cells, the principal matrix-producing cells in the liver, and inhibits proliferation via S1P receptor 2 (S1P(2)) in hepatocytes in rats in vitro. A potential role of S1P and S1P(2) in liver regeneration and fibrosis was examined in S1P(2)-deficient mice. Nuclear 5-bromo-2'-d...
