Molecular probe tool compounds for the Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 2 (S1PR2) are important for investigating the multiple biological processes in which the S1PR2 receptor has been implicated. Amongst these are NF-κB-mediated tumor cell survival and fibroblast chemotaxis to fibronectin. Here we report our efforts to identify selective chemical probes for S1PR2 and their characterization. We employed high throughput screening to identify two compounds which activate the S1PR2 receptor. SAR optimization led to compounds with high nanomolar potency. These compounds, XAX-162 and CYM-5520, are highly selective and do not activate other S1P receptors. Binding of CYM-5520 is not competitive with the antagonist JTE-013. Mutation of receptor residues responsible for binding to the zwitterionic headgroup of sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) abolishes S1P activation of the receptor, but not activation by CYM-5520. Competitive binding experiments with radiolabeled S1P demonstrate that CYM-5520 is an allosteric agonist and does not displace the native ligand. Computational modeling suggests that CYM-5520 binds lower in the orthosteric binding pocket, and that co-binding with S1P is energetically well tolerated. In summary, we have identified an allosteric S1PR2 selective agonist compound. 相似文献

Sphingosine kinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of sphingosine to form sphingosine 1-phosphate (SPP), a novel lipid mediator with both intra- and extracellular functions. Based on sequence identity to murine sphingosine kinase (mSPHK1a), we cloned and characterized the first human sphingosine kinase (hSPHK1). The open reading frame of hSPHK1 encodes a 384 amino acid protein with 85% identity and 92% similarity to mSPHK1a at the amino acid level. Similar to mSPHK1a, when HEK293 cells were transfected with hSPHK1, there were marked increases in sphingosine kinase activity resulting in elevated SPP levels. hSPHK1 also specifically phosphorylated D-erythro-sphingosine and to a lesser extent sphinganine, but not other lipids, such as D,L-threo-dihydrosphingosine, N, N-dimethylsphingosine, diacylglycerol, ceramide, or phosphatidylinositol. Northern analysis revealed that hSPHK1 was widely expressed with highest levels in adult liver, kidney, heart and skeletal muscle. Thus, hSPHK1 belongs to a highly conserved unique lipid kinase family that regulates diverse biological functions. 相似文献

Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) regulates diverse cellular functions through extracellular ligation to S1P receptors, and it also functions as an intracellular second messenger. Human pulmonary artery endothelial cells (HPAECs) effectively utilized exogenous S1P to generate intracellular S1P. We, therefore, examined the role of lipid phosphate phosphatase (LPP)-1 and sphingosine kinase1 (SphK1) in converting exogenous S1P to intracellular S1P. Exposure of (32)P-labeled HPAECs to S1P or sphingosine (Sph) increased the intracellular accumulation of [(32)P]S1P in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The S1P formed in the cells was not released into the medium. The exogenously added S1P did not stimulate the sphingomyelinase pathway; however, added [(3)H]S1P was hydrolyzed to [(3)H]Sph in HPAECs, and this was blocked by XY-14, an inhibitor of LPPs. HPAECs expressed LPP1-3, and overexpression of LPP-1 enhanced the hydrolysis of exogenous [(3)H]S1P to [(3)H]Sph and increased intracellular S1P production by 2-3-fold compared with vector control cells. Down-regulation of LPP-1 by siRNA decreased intracellular S1P production from extracellular S1P but had no effect on the phosphorylation of Sph to S1P. Knockdown of SphK1, but not SphK2, by siRNA attenuated the intracellular generation of S1P. Overexpression of wild type SphK1, but not SphK2 wild type, increased the accumulation of intracellular S1P after exposure to extracellular S1P. These studies provide the first direct evidence for a novel pathway of intracellular S1P generation. This involves the conversion of extracellular S1P to Sph by LPP-1, which facilitates Sph uptake, followed by the intracellular conversion of Sph to S1P by SphK1. 相似文献

Skeletal muscle (SkM) atrophy is caused by several and heterogeneous conditions, such as cancer, neuromuscular disorders and aging. In most types of SkM atrophy overall rates of protein synthesis are suppressed, protein degradation is consistently elevated and atrogenes, such as the ubiquitin ligase Atrogin-1/MAFbx, are up-regulated. The molecular regulators of SkM waste are multiple and only in part known.Sphingolipids represent a class of bioactive molecules capable of modulating the destiny of many cell types, including SkM cells. In particular, we and others have shown that sphingosine 1phosphate (S1P), formed by sphingosine kinase (SphK), is able to act as trophic and morphogenic factor in myoblasts.Here, we report the first evidence that the atrophic phenotype observed in both muscle obtained from mice bearing the C26 adenocarcinoma and C2C12 myotubes treated with dexamethasone was characterized by reduced levels of active phospho-SphK1. The importance of SphK1 activity is also confirmed by the specific pharmacological inhibition of SphK1 able to increase Atrogin-1/MAFbx expression and reduce myotube size and myonuclei number. Furthermore, we found that SkM atrophy was accomplished by significant increase of S1P transporter Spns2 and in changes in the pattern of S1P receptor (S1PRs) subtype expression paralleled by increased Atrogin-1/MAFbx expression, suggesting a role for the released S1P and of specific S1PR-mediated signaling pathways in the control of the ubiquitin ligase. Altogether, these findings provide the first evidence that SphK1/released S1P/S1PR axis acts as a molecular regulator of SkM atrophy, thereby representing a new possible target for therapy in many patho-physiological conditions. 相似文献

This review discusses multiple effects of sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) on endothelial cells and proposes that S1P and LPA are important regulators of the vascular system. Two physiologic sources of S1P and LPA are platelets and lipoproteins. S1P is an inducer of angiogenesis in vivo whereas LPA is not. S1P and LPA act through endothelial cell surface Edg receptors. S1P stimulates endothelial cell migration, but inhibits migration of most nonendothelial cells. Edg1 and Edg3 receptors, working through G(i), play an important role in regulation of S1P-stimulated endothelial cell migration. LPA effects on endothelial cells are more restricted than the effects of S1P on endothelial cells. LPA stimulates migration of certain endothelial cells on certain extracellular matrix proteins. However, LPA acts like S1P in its effects on the endothelial cell cytoskeleton, proliferation, cell-cell adhesion molecule expression, and vascular permeability. LPA receptors on endothelial cells are likely Edg2 and Edg4. Future studies should better delineate the roles of Edg receptors and downstream pathways on effects of extracellular S1P and LPA and the contributions of intracellularly generated S1P and nitric oxide (NO). 相似文献

The bioactive molecule sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is abundantly stored in platelets and can be released extracellularly. However, although they have high sphingosine (Sph) kinase activity, platelets lack the de novo sphingolipid biosynthesis necessary to provide the substrates. Here, we reveal a generation pathway for Sph, the precursor of S1P, in human platelets. Platelets incorporated extracellular 3H-labeled Sph much faster than human megakaryoblastic cells and rapidly converted it to S1P. Furthermore, Sph formed from plasma sphingomyelin (SM) by bacterial sphingomyelinase (SMase) and neutral ceramidase (CDase) was rapidly incorporated into platelets and converted to S1P, suggesting that platelets use extracellular Sph as a source of S1P. Platelets abundantly express SM, possibly supplied from plasma lipoproteins, at the cell surface. Treating platelets with bacterial SMase resulted in Sph generation at the cell surface, conceivably by the action of membrane-bound neutral CDase. Simultaneously, a time-dependent increase in S1P levels was observed. Finally, we demonstrated that secretory acid SMase also induces S1P increases in platelets. In conclusion, our results suggest that in platelets, Sph is supplied from at least two sources: generation in the plasma followed by incorporation, and generation at the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane, initiated by cell surface SM degradation. 相似文献

The biological roles of sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) and S1P receptors (S1PRs) have been broadly investigated. However, at present pathophysiological roles of S1P/S1PRs axis in liver fibrosis are not well defined. Here, we investigated the functions of S1P/S1PRs axis in human hepatic stellate cells (HSC) line, LX-2 cells. We found that S1PR types 1, 2 and 3 (S1PR1-3) are clearly detected in LX-2 cells, as determined by RT-PCR, Western blot and immunocytochemistry analysis. S1P exerted a powerful migratory action on LX-2 cells, as determined in Boyden chambers, and stimulated fibrogenic activity of LX-2 cells, as demonstrated by increase of expression of smooth muscle α-actin, procollagen α1(I) and α1(III) and total hydroxyproline content. Moreover, the effects of S1P were mimicked by S1PR1 agonist SEW2871, and abrogated by W146 (S1PR1 antagonist) and/or silencing S1PR1, three expression with small interfering RNA, suggesting the main roles of S1PR1 and 3. However, studies with S1PR2 antagonist JTE-013 and silencing S1PR2 expression indicated that S1PR2 negatively regulated S1P-induced cell migration. Interestingly, exogenously added S1P induced significant up-regulation of sphingosine kinase-1 and the synthesis of additional S1P, and expression of S1PR1,3, but not S1PR2. In conclusion, our data have identified an additional function regulated by S1P/S1PR1,3 axis involving migration and fibrogenic activation of HSCs. These results suggest that selective modulation of S1PR activity may represent a new antifibrotic strategy. 相似文献

A fluorescence-labeled sphingosine and sphingosine 1-phosphate have been successfully synthesized from the oxazolidinone methyl ester derived from glycidol via monoalkylation and the stereoselective reduction of the resulting ketone. The labeled sphingosine was converted into its phosphate by treatment with sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1) from mouse, and in platelets, and it was incorporated into the Chinese Hamster Ovarian (CHO) cells. In addition, MAPK was activated by NBD-Sph-1-P through Edg-1, Sph-1-P receptor. 相似文献

High density lipoproteins (HDL) are major plasma carriers of sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P). Here we show that HDL increases endothelial barrier integrity as measured by electric cell substrate impedance sensing. S1P was implicated as the mediator in this process through findings showing that pertussis toxin, an inhibitor of G(i)-coupled S1P receptors, as well as antagonists of the S1P receptor, S1P1, inhibited barrier enhancement by HDL. Additional findings show that HDL stimulates endothelial cell activation of Erk1/2 and Akt, signaling pathway intermediates that have been implicated in S1P-dependent endothelial barrier activity. HDL was also found to promote endothelial cell motility, a process that may also relate to endothelial barrier function in the context of a vascular injury response. The effects of HDL on endothelial cell Erk1/2 and Akt activation and motility were suppressed by pertussis toxin and S1P1 antagonists. However, both HDL-induced barrier enhancement and HDL-induced motility showed a greater dependence on Akt activation as compared with Erk1/2 activation. Together, the findings indicate that HDL has endothelial barrier promoting activities, which are attributable to its S1P component and signaling through the S1P1/Akt pathway. 相似文献

The effect of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) on large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BKCa) channels was examined in primary cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells by measuring intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), whole cell membrane currents, and single-channel activity. In nystatin-perforated current-clamped cells, S1P hyperpolarized the membrane and simultaneously increased [Ca2+]i. [Ca2+]i and membrane potentials were strongly correlated. In whole cell clamped cells, BKCa currents were activated by increasing [Ca2+]i via cell dialysis with pipette solution, and the activated BKCa currents were further enhanced by S1P. When [Ca2+]i was buffered at 1 µM, the S1P concentration required to evoke half-maximal activation was 403 ± 13 nM. In inside-out patches, when S1P was included in the bath solution, S1P enhanced BKCa channel activity in a reversible manner and shifted the relationship between Ca2+ concentration in the bath solution and the mean open probability to the left. In whole cell clamped cells or inside-out patches loaded with guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) (GDPS; 1 mM) using a patch pipette, GDPS application or pretreatment of cells with pertussis toxin (100 ng/ml) for 15 h did not affect S1P-induced BKCa current and channel activation. These results suggest that S1P enhances BKCa channel activity by increasing Ca2+ sensitivity. This channel activation hyperpolarizes the membrane and thereby increases Ca2+ influx through Ca2+ entry channels. Inasmuch as S1P activates BKCa channels via a mechanism independent of G protein-coupled receptors, S1P may be a component of the intracellular second messenger that is involved in Ca2+ mobilization in human endothelial cells. sphingolipid metabolites; intracellular second messenger; Ca2+ mobilization 相似文献

Originating from its DNA sequence, a computational model of the Edg1 receptor has been developed that predicts critical interactions with its ligand, sphingosine 1-phosphate. The basic amino acids Arg(120) and Arg(292) ion pair with the phosphate, whereas the acidic Glu(121) residue ion pairs with the ammonium moiety of sphingosine 1-phosphate. The requirement of these interactions for specific ligand recognition has been confirmed through examination of site-directed mutants by radioligand binding, ligand-induced [(35)S]GTPgammaS binding, and receptor internalization assays. These ion-pairing interactions explain the ligand specificity of the Edg1 receptor and provide insight into ligand specificity differences within the Edg receptor family. This computational map of the ligand binding pocket provides information necessary for understanding the molecular pharmacology of this receptor, thus underlining the potential of the computational method in predicting ligand-receptor interactions. 相似文献

Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive lipid phosphate that binds to cell surface G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR), but also can elicit intracellular actions. The role of S1P in cancer has been an area of significant interest and we have focused our research on two aspects that are of importance with respect to cancer. First, we have investigated how cross talk between S1P and growth factors might affect the pathophysiology of cancer cells. In this regard, we have demonstrated that S1P receptors function to re-programme the spatial signaling specificity of receptor tyrosine kinases and vice versa to modulate cell responses. Second, we have investigated spatial/temporal aspects of intracellular S1P signaling and how this might be de-regulated in cancer. This has involved studies on: (i) the interaction of sphingosine kinase 1 (which catalyses the phosphorylation of sphingosine to produce S1P) and phospholipase D in the Golgi apparatus linked to regulation of cell survival and (ii) the novel regulatory interaction between sphingosine kinase 1 and 2 and centrosomal S1P5 receptor linked to the regulation of mitosis in mammalian cells including MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Therefore, we have focused on novel aspects of spatial and temporal S1P signaling that might enable this bioactive lipid phosphate to exhibit normal and aberrant function in health and disease respectively. 相似文献

Five G protein-coupled receptors (S1P(1)/Edg-1, S1P(3)/Edg-3, S1P(2)/Edg-5, S1P(4)/Edg-6, and S1P(5)/Edg-8) for the intercellular lipid mediator sphingosine 1-phosphate have been cloned and characterized. We found human and mouse sequences closely related to rat S1P(5) (97% identical amino acids) and report now the characterization of the human and mouse S1P(5) gene products as encoding sphingosine 1-phosphate receptors. When HEK293T cells were cotransfected with S1P(5) and G protein DNAs, prepared membranes showed sphingosine 1-phosphate concentration-dependent increases in [gamma-(35)S]GTP binding (EC(50) = 12.7 nM). The lipid mediator inhibited forskolin-driven rises in cAMP by greater than 80% after introduction of the mouse or human S1P(5) DNAs into rat hepatoma RH7777 cells (IC(50) = 0.22 nM). This response is blocked fully by prior treatment of cultures with pertussis toxin, thus implicating signaling through G(i/o)alpha proteins. Northern blot analysis showed high expression of human S1P(5) mRNA in spleen, corpus collosum, peripheral blood leukocytes, placenta, lung, aorta, and fetal tissues. Mouse S1P(5) mRNA is also expressed in spleen and brain. Finally, we found that one enantiomer of a sphingosine 1-phosphate analogue wherein the 3-hydroxyl and 4,5-olefin are replaced by an amide functionality shows some selectivity as an agonist S1P(1) and S1P(3) vs S1P(2) and S1P(5). 相似文献

Inhibition of Th1- and Th2-mediated airway inflammation by the sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor agonist FTY720 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

The sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor agonist FTY720 is a novel immunomodulator that sequesters lymphocytes in secondary lymphoid organs and thereby prevents their migration to sites of inflammation. However, there is currently no information available on whether this drug affects Th1 or Th2 cell-mediated lung-inflammatory responses. The effect of FTY720 was therefore investigated in a murine airway inflammation model using OVA-specific, in vitro differentiated, and adoptively transferred Th1 and Th2 cells. Both Th1 and Th2 cells express a similar pattern of FTY720-targeted sphingosine 1-phosphate receptors. The OVA-induced Th1-mediated airway inflammation characterized by increased numbers of lymphocytes and neutrophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was significantly inhibited by oral FTY720 treatment. Similarly, FTY720 suppressed the Th2 cell-induced bronchoalveolar lavage fluid eosinophilia and the infiltration of T lymphocytes and eosinophils into the bronchial tissue. Moreover, the Ag-induced bronchial hyperresponsiveness to inhaled metacholine was almost completely blocked. The inhibitory effect of FTY720 on airway inflammation, induction of bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and goblet cell hyperplasia could be confirmed in an actively Ag-sensitized murine asthma model, clearly indicating that Th2 cell-driven allergic diseases such as asthma could benefit from such treatment. 相似文献

Lysophosphatidic acid and sphingosine 1-phosphate stimulate endothelial cell wound healing 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and sphingosine 1-phosphate(S1P) are potent lipid growth factors with similar abilities tostimulate cytoskeleton-based cellular functions. Their effects aremediated by a subfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) encoded by endothelial differentiation genes (edgs). Wehypothesize that large quantities of LPA and S1P generated by activatedplatelets may influence endothelial cell functions. Using an in vitrowound healing assay, we observed that LPA and S1P stimulated closure ofwounded monolayers of human umbilical vein endothelial cells and adultbovine aortic endothelial cells, which express LPA receptor Edg2, andS1P receptors Edg1 and Edg3. The two major components of wound healing,cell migration and proliferation, were stimulated individually by bothlipids. LPA and S1P also stimulated intracellular Ca2+mobilization and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)phosphorylation. Pertussis toxin partially blocked the effects of bothlipids on endothelial cell migration, MAPK phosphorylation, andCa2+ mobilization, implicatingGi/o-coupled Edg receptor signaling inendothelial cells. LPA and S1P did not cross-desensitize each other inCa2+ responses, suggesting involvement of distinctreceptors. Thus LPA and S1P affect endothelial cell functions throughsignaling pathways activated by distinct GPCRs and may contribute tothe healing of wounded vasculatures. 相似文献

Activated protein C mediates novel lung endothelial barrier enhancement: role of sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor transactivation 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17

Increased endothelial cell (EC) permeability is central to the pathophysiology of inflammatory syndromes such as sepsis and acute lung injury (ALI). Activated protein C (APC), a serine protease critically involved in the regulation of coagulation and inflammatory processes, improves sepsis survival through an unknown mechanism. We hypothesized a direct effect of APC to both prevent increased EC permeability and to restore vascular integrity after edemagenic agonists. We measured changes in transendothelial electrical resistance (TER) and observed that APC produced concentration-dependent attenuation of TER reductions evoked by thrombin. We next explored known EC barrier-protective signaling pathways and observed dose-dependent APC-mediated increases in cortical myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation in concert with cortically distributed actin polymerization, findings highly suggestive of Rac GTPase involvement. We next determined that APC directly increases Rac1 activity, with inhibition of Rac1 activity significantly attenuating APC-mediated barrier protection to thrombin challenge. Finally, as these signaling events were similar to those evoked by the potent EC barrier-enhancing agonist, sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), we explored potential cross-talk between endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) and S1P1, the receptors for APC and S1P, respectively. EPCR-blocking antibody (RCR-252) significantly attenuated both APC-mediated barrier protection and increased MLC phosphorylation. We next observed rapid, EPCR and PI 3-kinase-dependent, APC-mediated phosphorylation of S1P1 on threonine residues consistent with S1P1 receptor activation. Co-immunoprecipitation studies demonstrate an interaction between EPCR and S1P1 upon APC treatment. Targeted silencing of S1P1 expression using siRNA significantly reduced APC-mediated barrier protection against thrombin. These data suggest that novel EPCR ligation and S1P1 transactivation results in EC cytoskeletal rearrangement and barrier protection, components potentially critical to the improved survival of APC-treated patients with severe sepsis. 相似文献

Apoptotic effect of sphingosine 1-phosphate and increased sphingosine 1-phosphate hydrolysis on mesangial cells cultured at low cell density 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

The lipid mediator sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) may alter the proliferation of mesangial cells during pathophysiological processes. Here, S1P stimulated proliferation of rat mesangial cells and phosphorylation of MAPKs at subconfluent cell density. Both effects were inhibited by pertussis toxin treatment. Mesangial cells expressed several S1P receptors of the endothelial differentiation gene family: EDG-1, -3, -5, and -8. Conversely, S1P induced apoptosis at low cell density (2 x 10(4) cells/cm(2)), which was demonstrated by flow cytometry and Hoechst staining. Apoptosis was observed also in quiescent or growing cells and was not reverted by lysophosphatidic acid or platelet-derived growth factor. S1P enhanced phosphorylation of SAPKs. Incubation with [(33)P]S1P, [(3)H]S1P, and [(3)H]sphingosine demonstrated increased S1P hydrolysis, resulting in enhanced intracellular sphingosine levels and decreased S1P levels. A rise in total ceramide levels was also observed; however, ceramide did not originate from [(3)H]sphingosine, and S1P-induced apoptosis was not inhibited by fumonisin B, precluding involvement of de novo ceramide synthesis in apoptosis. Therefore, we suggest that sphingosine accumulation and decreased S1P are primarily responsible for S1P-induced apoptosis. In conclusion, incubation of low-density mesangial cells with S1P results in apoptosis, presumably due to increased S1P hydrolysis. 相似文献

Balanced sphingolipid signaling is important for the maintenance of homeostasis. Sphingolipids were demonstrated to function as structural components, second messengers, and regulators of cell growth and survival in normal and disease-affected tissues. Particularly, sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1) and its product sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) operate as mediators and facilitators of proliferation-linked signaling. Unlimited proliferation (selfrenewal) within the regulated environment is a hallmark of progenitor/stem cells that was recently associated with the S1P signaling network in vasculature, nervous,muscular, and immune systems. S1P was shown to regulate progenitor-related characteristics in normal and cancerstemcells(CSCs) viaG-protein coupled receptorsS1Pn(n=1 to 5). The SphK/S1P axis is crucially involved in the regulation of embryonic development of vasculature and the nervous system, hematopoietic stem cell migration, regeneration of skeletal muscle, and development of multiple sclerosis. The ratio of the S1P receptor expression, localization, and specific S1P receptoractivated downstream effectors influenced the rate of selfrenewal and should be further explored as regeneration related targets. Considering malignant transformation,it is essential to control the level of self-renewal capacity.Proliferation of the progenitor cell should be synchronized with differentiation to provide healthy lifelong function of blood, immune systems, and replacement of damaged ordead cells. The differentiation-related role of SphK/S1P remains poorly assessed. A few pioneering investigations exploredpharmacologicaltoolsthattargetsphingolipid signaling and can potentially confine and direct self-renewal towards normal differentiation. Further investigation is required to test the role of the SphK/S1P axis in regulation of self-renewal and differentiation. 相似文献

Fluid shear stress modulates the functional responses of platelets and vascular cells, and plays an important role in the pathogenesis of vascular disorders, including atherosclerosis and restenosis. Since shear stress induces activation of platelets, which abundantly store sphingosine 1-phosphate (Sph-1-P), and upregulates the mRNA expression of S1P(1), the most important Sph-1-P receptor expressed on the endothelial cells, we examined the effects of shear stress on the Sph-1-P-related responses involving these cells. Shear stress was found to induce Sph-1-P release from the platelets in a shear intensity- and time-dependent manner. Inhibitors of protein kinase C suppressed this mechanical force-induced Sph-1-P release, suggesting involvement of this kinase. On the other hand, in vascular endothelial cells, shear stress increased S1P(1) protein expression, as revealed by flow-cytometric analysis, and the responsiveness to Sph-1-P, which was assessed by monitoring the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration. These results indicate that shear stress enhances the Sph-1-P responses in cell-cell interactions between platelets and endothelial cells. 相似文献

There is growing evidence that sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) plays an important role in regulating the development, morphology, and function of the cardiovascular system. There is little data, however, regarding the relative contribution of endogenous S1P and its cognate receptors (referred to as S1P(1-5)) to cardiovascular homeostasis. We used S1P(2) receptor knockout mice (S1P(2)(-/-)) to evaluate the role of S1P(2) in heart and vascular function. There were no significant differences in blood pressure between wild-type and S1P(2)(-/-) mice, measured in awake mice. Cardiac function, evaluated in situ by using a Millar catheter, was also not different in S1P(2)(-/-) mice under baseline or stimulated conditions. In vivo analysis of vascular function by flowmetry revealed decreases in mesenteric and renal resistance in S1P(2)(-/-) mice, especially during vasoconstriction with phenylephrine. In intact aortic rings, the concentration-force relations for both KCl and phenylephrine were right shifted in S1P(2)(-/-) mice, whereas the maximal isometric forces were not different. By contrast, in deendothelialized rings the concentration-force relations were not different but the maximal force was significantly greater in S1P(2)(-/-) aorta. Histologically, there were no apparent differences in vascular morphology. These data suggest that the S1P(2) receptor plays an important role in the function of the vasculature and is an important mediator of normal hemodynamics. This is mediated, at least in part, through an effect on the endothelium, but direct effects on vascular smooth muscle cannot be ruled out and require further investigation. 相似文献
