Thiazolidinedione-dependent activation of sphingosine kinase 1 causes an anti-fibrotic effect in renal mesangial cells

, 2012
PPARγ agonists [thiazolidinediones (TZDs)] are known to exert anti-fibrotic effects in the kidney. In addition, we previously demonstrated that sphingosine kinase 1 (SK-1) and intracellular sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), by reducing the expression of ...

The nitty‐gritty of vascular permeability in cancer: targeting blood endothelium to control metastases

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Blood vascular permeability is a hallmark of cancer and acts as an active driver of metastatic dissemination. Metastasis accounts for the vast majority of cancer deaths, yet most work has focussed on tumour‐intrinsic traits and angiogenesis, while the specific contribution of endothelial barrier regulation to intravasation and extravasation remains ...

Generierung von Sphingosin-1-Phosphat durch apoptotische Zellen und dessen Einfluss auf die Polarisierung von Makrophagen während der Tumorentwicklung [PDF]

, 2008
The removal of apoptotic cells (AC) can be regarded as an integral component of the program to terminate inflammation. Clearance of AC by professional phagocytes such as macrophages induces an anti-inflammatory phenotype in the latter ones.

PGC-1α improves glucose homeostasis in skeletal muscle in an activity-dependent manner [PDF]

, 2013
Metabolic disorders are a major burden for public health systems globally. Regular exercise improves metabolic health. Pharmacological targeting of exercise mediators might facilitate physical activity or amplify the effects of exercise.

Natural product‐derived TRPM7 channel inhibitors in neurological injury: Mechanisms, pharmacological potential and translational challenges

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Disruption of intracellular ionic homeostasis is a convergent pathological feature across diverse neurological injuries and disorders, including ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke, hypoxic–ischaemic brain injury, traumatic brain injury, epilepsy and brain tumour.

Dimethylsphingosine Regulates Intracellular pH and Ca2+ Human Monocytes

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2006
.: Dimethylsphingosine (DMS) was first reported as an inhibitor of protein kinase C and later has been used as a specific inhibitor of sphingosine kinase.

Lung Cancer Brain Metastasis: Brain Microenvironmental Adaptation, Therapeutic Resistance and Translational Strategies

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Lung cancer brain metastasis is shaped by dynamic crosstalk among tumor cells, the blood–brain barrier, glial and immune cells, neurons, and metabolic niches. This review integrates these mechanisms with therapeutic resistance, translational models, CNS delivery, and multidisciplinary treatment strategies.

Sphingosine-1-phosphate promotes erythrocyte glycolysis and oxygen release for adaptation to high-altitude hypoxia

Nature Communications, 2016
The presence of the signalling lipid Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) in erythrocytes has unclear physiological implications. Here the authors show that the S1P-generating enzyme Sphingosine kinase type 1 and its product S1P play an important role in the ...
