Vascular endothelium as a contributor of plasma sphingosine 1-phosphate.
Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), an abundant lipid mediator in plasma, regulates vascular and immune cells by activating S1P receptors. In this report, we investigated the mechanisms by which high plasma S1P levels are maintained in mice. We found that plasma S1P turns over rapidly with a half-life of approximately 15 minutes, suggesting the existence of a high-capacity biosynthetic source(s). Tr...
متن کاملSphingosine 1-phosphate and control of vascular tone.
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a platelet-derived lipid mediator that activates the endothelial isoform of nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in endothelial cells. However, the role of S1P in endothelium-dependent vasodilation and the signaling pathways elicited by S1P in intact vessels are largely unknown. We found that S1P induces dose-dependent transient relaxation of isolated pressurized mesent...
متن کاملSphingosine-1-phosphate and modulation of vascular tone.
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a phosphorylated product of sphingosine, the core structure of the class of lipids termed sphingolipids. S1P is a naturally occurring lipid metabolite, and usually is present at a concentration of a few 100 nanomolar in human sera. S1P has been found to exert a diverse set of physiological and pathophysiological responses in mammalian tissues through the activat...
متن کاملSphingosine kinase 1/sphingosine 1-phosphate signalling pathway as a potential therapeutic target of pulmonary hypertension.
Pulmonary hypertension is characterized by extensive vascular remodelling, leading to increased pulmonary vascular resistance and eventual death due to right heart failure. The pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension involves vascular endothelial dysfunction and disordered vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation and migration, but the exact processes remain unknown. Sphingosine 1-phosph...
متن کاملEndothelial lipase is a critical determinant of high-density lipoprotein-stimulated sphingosine 1-phosphate-dependent signaling in vascular endothelium.
OBJECTIVE In addition to an extensively characterized role of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in reverse cholesterol transport, bioactive lipids bound to HDL can also exert diverse vascular effects. Despite this, integration of HDL action in the vasculature with pathways that metabolize HDL and release bioactive lipids has been much less explored. The effects of HDL on endothelial cells are medi...
