Sphingosine 1-Phosphate Receptors and Metabolic Enzymes as Druggable Targets for Brain Diseases

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2019
The central nervous system is characterized by a high content of sphingolipids and by a high diversity in terms of different structures. Stage- and cell-specific sphingolipid metabolism and expression are crucial for brain development and maintenance ...

Intracellular S1P generation is essential for S1P-induced motility of human lung endothelial cells : role of sphingosine kinase 1 and S1P lyase [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Earlier we have shown that extracellular sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) induces migration of human pulmonary artery endothelial cells (HPAECs) through the activation of S1P(1) receptor, PKCε, and PLD2-PKCζ-Rac1 signaling cascade.

Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Signaling in Cardiovascular Diseases

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2023
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is an important sphingolipid molecule involved in regulating cardiovascular functions in physiological and pathological conditions by binding and activating the three G protein-coupled receptors (S1PR1, S1PR2, and S1PR3 ...

Sphingosine 1-Phosphate and Atherosclerosis

open access: yesJournal of Atherosclerosis and Thrombosis, 2018
Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a potent lipid mediator that works on five kinds of S1P receptors located on the cell membrane. In the circulation, S1P is distributed to HDL, followed by albumin. Since S1P and HDL share several bioactivities, S1P is believed to be responsible for the pleiotropic effects of HDL.

Fingolimod modulates microglial activation to augment markers of remyelination [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Introduction Microglial activation in multiple sclerosis has been postulated to contribute to long-term neurodegeneration during disease. Fingolimod has been shown to impact on the relapsing remitting phase of disease by modulating autoreactive T-cell ...

The role of sphingosine-1-phosphate in the tumor microenvironment and its clinical implications

open access: yesTumor Biology, 2017
Elucidating the interaction between cancer and non-cancer cells, such as blood vessels, immune cells, and other stromal cells, in the tumor microenvironment is imperative in understanding the mechanisms underlying cancer progression and metastasis, which

Cardioprotective Properties of Human Platelets Are Lost in Uncontrolled Diabetes Mellitus: A Study in Isolated Rat Hearts

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2018
Platelets affect myocardial damage from ischemia/reperfusion. Redox-dependent sphingosine-1-phosphate production and release are altered in diabetic platelets. Sphingosine-1-phosphate is a double-edged sword for ischemia/reperfusion injury. Therefore, we

Sphingosine‐1‐phosphate and renal vasoconstriction [PDF]

open access: yesActa Physiologica, 2017
In the present issue of Acta Physiologica, Guan et al. in their article “Mechanisms of sphingosine-1-phosphate-mediated vasoconstriction of rat afferent arterioles” 1 address the signaling events associated with sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P)-mediated renal afferent vasoconstriction and show in, technically demanding, blood-perfused juxtamedullary ...

Synergy between sphingosine 1-phosphate and lipopolysaccharide signaling promotes an inflammatory, angiogenic and osteogenic response in human aortic valve interstitial cells.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Given that the bioactive lipid sphingosine 1-phosphate is involved in cardiovascular pathophysiology, and since lipid accumulation and inflammation are hallmarks of calcific aortic stenosis, the role of sphingosine 1-phosphate on the pro-inflammatory/pro-

Endothelial Functions of Sphingosine-1-phosphate

open access: yesCellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2010
The biologically active sphingolipid sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) plays key functions in the immune, inflammatory, and cardiovascular systems. In the vasculature, S1P and its receptors are involved in vessel morphogenesis and angiogenesis during embryonic development and in the adult organism both under normal and pathological conditions.
