Actions of a picomolar short-acting S1P1 agonist in S1P1-eGFP knock-in mice

چکیده
Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1P(1)) is critical for lymphocyte recirculation and is a clinical target for treatment of multiple sclerosis. By generating a short-duration S1P(1) agonist and mice in which fluorescently tagged S1P(1) replaces wild-type receptor, we elucidate physiological and agonist-perturbed changes in expression of S1P(1) at a subcellular level in vivo. We demonstrate differential downregulation of S1P(1) on lymphocytes and endothelia after agonist treatment.

Selective Sphingosine 1-Phosphate Receptor 1 Agonist Is Protective Against Ischemia/Reperfusion in Mice.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Growing evidence supports that the immunomodulatory drug fingolimod is protective in stroke. Fingolimod binds to 4 of 5 sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptors and, among other actions, it induces lymphopenia. In this study, we investigated whether a selective S1P1 agonist is protective in experimental stroke. METHODS Drug selectivity was studied in vitro in cells overe...

Activation of the GPCR sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1P1) by sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) regulates key physiological processes. S1P1 activation also has been implicated in pathologic processes, including autoimmunity and inflammation; however, the in vivo sites of S1P1 activation under normal and disease conditions are unclear. Here, we describe the development of a mouse model that al...
متن کاملStable knock-down of the sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor S1P1 influences multiple functions of human endothelial cells.
OBJECTIVES Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive phospholipid acting both as a ligand for the G protein-coupled receptors S1P1-5 and as a second messenger. Because S1P1 knockout is lethal in the transgenic mouse, an alternative approach to study the function of S1P1 in endothelial cells is needed. METHODS AND RESULTS All human endothelial cells analyzed expressed abundant S1P1 transcri...

Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1P1) is a G protein– coupled receptor that is critical for proper lymphocyte development and recirculation. Agonists to S1P1 are currently in use clinically for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, and these drugs may act on both S1P1 expressed on lymphocytes and S1P1 expressed within the central nervous system. Agonists to S1P1 and deficiency in S1P1 both c...
متن کاملHDL activation of endothelial sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor-1 (S1P1) promotes regeneration and suppresses fibrosis in the liver.
Regeneration of hepatic sinusoidal vasculature is essential for non-fibrotic liver regrowth and restoration of its metabolic capacity. However, little is known about how this specialized vascular niche is regenerated. Here we show that activation of endothelial sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor-1 (S1P1) by its natural ligand bound to HDL (HDL-S1P) induces liver regeneration and curtails fibrosis...
