Sphingosine 1-Phosphate Produced by Sphingosine Kinase 2 Intrinsically Controls Platelet Aggregation In Vitro and In Vivo

open access: yesCirculation Research, 2015
RATIONALE Platelets are known to play a crucial role in hemostasis. Sphingosine kinases (Sphk) 1 and 2 catalyze the conversion of sphingosine to the bioactive metabolite sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P).

The neurobiology of sphingosine 1-phosphate signaling and sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulators

Neurology, 2011
Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptors (S1PRs) are G protein-coupled receptors expressed by many cell types, including immune and neural cells. These receptors are promising targets for immunomodulatory and possibly neuromodulatory therapies. Fingolimod (FTY720) is a sphingosine analog that, when phosphorylated, becomes a prototypical S1PR modulator. It has

Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Phosphatases

Prostaglandins & Other Lipid Mediators, 2001
Sphingosine-1-phosphate is a potent proliferative, survival, and morphogenetic factor, acting as an extracellular ligand for the EDG family of G-protein-coupled receptors and possibly intracellularly through as yet, unidentified targets. It is produced within most, if not all cells by phosphorylation of sphingosine, and is an abundant serum lipid that ...

Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptors

Prostaglandins & Other Lipid Mediators, 2001
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (SPP) is a bioactive lipid produced from the metabolism of sphingomyelin. It is an important constituent of serum and regulates cell growth, survival, migration, differentiation and gene expression. Its mode of action has been enigmatic; however, recent findings have shown that a family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) of ...

Sphingosine 1-Phosphate Metabolism and Signaling

2022
Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a well-defined bioactive lipid molecule derived from membrane sphingolipid metabolism. In the past decades, a series of key enzymes involved in generation of S1P have been identified and characterized in detail, as well as enzymes degrading S1P.

Inhibitors of sphingosine-1-phosphate metabolism (sphingosine kinases and sphingosine-1-phosphate lyase)

Chemistry and Physics of Lipids, 2016
Sphingolipids (SLs) are essential structural and signaling molecules of eukaryotic cells. Among them, sphingosine 1 phosphate (S1P) is a recognized promoter of cell survival, also involved, inter alia, in inflammation and tumorigenesis processes. The knowledge and modulation of the enzymes implicated in the biosynthesis and degradation of S1P are ...

Sphingosine 1-Phosphate Breakdown in Platelets

Journal of Biochemistry, 2004
We examined the formation of sphingolipid mediators in platelets, which abundantly store, and release extracellularly, sphingosine 1-phosphate (Sph-1-P). Challenging [(3)H]Sph-labeled platelet suspensions with thrombin or 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) resulted in a decrease in Sph-1-P formation and an increase in sphingosine (Sph ...

The roles of sphingosine-1-phosphate in asthma

Molecular Immunology, 2002
Asthma is a complex condition in which exposure to environmental antigens induces inflammatory reactions in the airway characterized by activation of mast cells and eosinophils. Mast cells are known to be the main effector cells in eliciting IgE-mediated allergic response.

Sphingosine 1-Phosphate Receptor Signaling

Annual Review of Biochemistry, 2009
The sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor signaling system is a productive model system. A hydrophobic zwitterionic lysophospholipid ligand with difficult physical properties interacts with five high-affinity G protein–coupled receptors to generate multiple downstream signals.
