Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S-1P) is a key sphingolipid involved in the pathobiology of various respiratory diseases. We have previously demonstrated the significance of S-1P in controlling non-pathogenic mycobacterial infection in macrophages, and here we demonstrate the therapeutic potential of S-1P against pathogenic (H37Rv) in the mouse model of infection. Our study revealed that S-1P is involved in the expression of iNOS proteins in macrophages, their polarization toward M1 phenotype, and secretion of interferon (IFN)-γ during the course of infection. S-1P is also capable of enhancing infiltration of pulmonary CD11b+ macrophages and expression of S-1P receptor-3 (S-1PR3) in the lungs during the course of infection. We further revealed the influence of S-1P on major signaling components of inflammatory signaling pathways during infection, thus highlighting antimycobacterial potential of S-1P in animals. Our data suggest that enhancing S-1P levels by sphingolipid mimetic compounds/drugs can be used as an immunoadjuvant for boosting immunity against pathogenic mycobacteria.

Sphingolipids (SL) are a family of bioactive lipids and a major cellular membrane structural component. SLs include three main compounds: ceramide (Cer), sphingosine (Sp), and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S-1P), all of which have emerging roles in biological functions in cells, especially in the liver. They are under investigation in various liver diseases, including cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease.

Background: Plasma is an important component of resuscitation after trauma and hemorrhagic shock (T/HS). The specific plasma proteins and the impact of storage conditions are uncertain. Utilizing a microfluidic device system, we studied the effect of various types of plasma on the endothelial barrier function following T/HS.

Several studies have linked estrogens with sphingosine kinase (SphK) activity, enzyme responsible of sphingosine-1-phosphate synthesis (S-1P), however their possible interaction in the nervous system is not documented yet. In the present study, we developed a glutamate toxicity model in SH-SY5Y cells to evaluate the possible effect of the inhibition of SphK activity on the protective capability of 17β-estradiol (E2). Glutamate induced cytoskeletal actin changes associated to cytotoxic stress, significant increase of apoptotic-like nuclear fragmentation, Tau hyperphosphorylation and increase of p25/p35 cleavage.

Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S-1P) derivatives such as threo-(2S,3S)-analogues, which are C-3 stereoisomers of natural erythro-(2S,3R)-S-1P, have been synthesized starting from l-serine or (1S,2S)-2-amino-1-aryl-1,3-propanediols (6). threo-(1S,2R)-2-Amino-1-aryl-3-bromopropanols (HBr salt) have also been prepared from 6. The threo-S-1Ps and the threo-amino-bromide derivatives have shown potent inhibitory activity against Ca(2+) ion mobilization in HL60 cells induced by erythro-S-1P, suggesting that these compounds would compete with cell surface EDG/S1P receptors.
