A commensal protozoan exacerbates acetaminophen-induced liver injury by producing free sphingosine [PDF]

open access: yesGut Microbes
The mechanisms by which the gut microbiota influence host disease outcomes remain poorly understood. As an integral yet overlooked component of this microbial community, the role of gut commensal protists in host physiology and pathology is even more ...

Sphingosine kinase and sphingosine-1-phosphate in liver pathobiology [PDF]

open access: yesCritical Reviews in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2017
Over 20 years ago, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) was discovered to be a bioactive signaling molecule. Subsequent studies later identified two related kinases, sphingosine kinase 1 and 2, which are responsible for the phosphorylation of sphingosine to S1P. Many stimuli increase sphingosine kinase activity and S1P production and secretion.

Sphingosine kinases, sphingosine 1-phosphate, apoptosis and diseases

open access: yesBiochimica Et Biophysica Acta - Biomembranes, 2006
Sphingolipids are ubiquitous components of cell membranes and their metabolites ceramide (Cer), sphingosine (Sph), and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) have important physiological functions, including regulation of cell growth and survival. Cer and Sph are associated with growth arrest and apoptosis.

Plasma S1P and Sphingosine are not Different Prior to Pre-Eclampsia in Women at High Risk of Developing the Disease

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2023
Sphingolipids like sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) have been implicated in the pathophysiology of pre-eclampsia. We hypothesized that plasma S1P would be increased in women at high risk of developing pre-eclampsia who subsequently develop the disease.

The molecular mechanism of phytosphingosine binding to FFAR4/GPR120 differs from that of other fatty acids

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, 2021
Free fatty acid receptor 4 (FFAR4)/GPR120 comprises a receptor for medium‐ and long‐chain fatty acids. We previously identified phytosphingosine (PHS) as a novel ligand of FFAR4.

1-磷酸鞘氨醇在缺血性卒中中的作用研究进展 Research Progress on the Role of Sphingosine 1-Phosphate in Ischemic Stroke

open access: yesZhongguo cuzhong zazhi, 2023
脑组织缺血坏死后释放出炎性因子诱发炎症反应,并激活神经胶质细胞参与损伤后的级联免疫反应,1-磷酸鞘氨醇(sphingosine 1-phosphate,S1P)代谢与缺血性卒中具有相关性,神经胶质细胞在炎症状态下上调1-磷酸鞘氨醇受体(sphingosine 1-phosphate receptors,S1PRs)的表达,S1PRs发出S1P信号参与脑组织中炎症介质的上调,S1P与S1PRs结合参与缺血性卒中后炎症和免疫反应、内皮细胞的黏附和血管生成以及改善血脑屏障功能 ...

Role of sphingosine 1-phosphate receptors, sphingosine kinases and sphingosine in cancer and inflammation [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances in Biological Regulation, 2016
Sphingosine kinase (there are two isoforms, SK1 and SK2) catalyses the formation of sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), a bioactive lipid that can be released from cells to activate a family of G protein-coupled receptors, termed S1P1-5. In addition, S1P can bind to intracellular target proteins, such as HDAC1/2, to induce cell responses.
