Article Abstract
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a potent lipid mediator that is secreted by several cell types. We recently showed that Mfsd2b is an S1P transporter from hematopoietic cells that contributes approximately 50% plasma S1P. Here we report the characterization of compound deletion of Mfsd2b and Spns2, another S1P transporter active primarily in endothelial cells. Global deletion of Mfsd2b and Spns2 (global double knockout [gDKO]) results in embryonic lethality beyond embryonic day 14.5 (E14.5), with severe hemorrhage accompanied by defects of tight junction proteins, indicating that Mfsd2b and Spns2 provide S1P for signaling, which is essential for blood vessel integrity. Compound postnatal deletion of Mfsd2b and Spns2 using Mx1Cre (ctDKO-Mx1Cre) results in maximal 80% reduction of plasma S1P. ctDKO-Mx1Cre mice exhibit severe susceptibility to anaphylaxis, indicating that S1P from Mfsd2b and Spns2 is indispensable for vascular homeostasis. Our results show that S1P export from Mfsd2b and Spns2 is essential for developing and mature vasculature.

MFSD2B has been identified as the exclusive sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) transporter in red blood cells (RBC) and platelets. MFSD2B-mediated S1P export from platelets is required for aggregation and thrombus formation, whereas RBC MFSD2B maintains plasma S1P levels in concert with SPNS2, the vascular and lymphatic endothelial cell S1P exporter, to control endothelial permeability and ensure normal vascular development. However, the physiological function of MFSD2B in RBC remains rather elusive despite mounting evidence that the intracellular S1P pool plays important roles in RBC glycolysis, adaptation to hypoxia and the regulation of cell shape, hydration, and cytoskeletal organisation.

Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is an active signaling metabolite synthesized by blood cells, exported into blood stream, and can trigger many downstream signaling pathways with disease implications. Understanding how S1P is transported is of great values for dissecting the function of S1P, but most existing methods for measuring S1P transporter activity use radioactive substrates or involve multiple workup steps, hindering their broader uses. In this study, we develop a workflow combining sensitive LC-MS measurement and a cell-based transporter protein system to measure the export activity of S1P transporter proteins.

Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is one of the lipid mediators involved in diverse physiological functions. S1P circulates in blood and lymph bound to carrier proteins. Three S1P carrier proteins have been reported, albumin, apolipoprotein M (ApoM) and apolipoprotein A4 (ApoA4).

Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a pleiotropic signaling molecule that interacts with five G-protein-coupled receptors (S1P1-5) to regulate cellular signaling pathways. S1P export is facilitated by Mfsd2b and spinster homologue 2 (Spns2). While mouse genetic studies suggest that Spns2 functions to maintain lymph S1P, Spns2 inhibitors are necessary to understand its biology and to learn whether Spns2 is a viable drug target.
