Mice Deficient in Sphingosine Kinase 1 Are Rendered Lymphopenic by FTY720

TLDR
The results with these Sphk1 null mice reveal that some key physiologic processes that require S1P receptor signaling, such as vascular development and proper lymphocyte distribution, can occur in the absence of SPHK1.

Promotion of Lymphocyte Egress into Blood and Lymph by Distinct Sources of Sphingosine-1-Phosphate

TL;DR: Separate sources provide S1P to plasma and lymph to help lymphocytes exit the low-S1P environment of lymphoid organs, and disruption of compartmentalized S 1P signaling is a plausible mechanism by which S1p-receptor-1 agonists function as immunosuppressives.
Book ChapterDOI

An overview of sphingolipid metabolism: from synthesis to breakdown.

TL;DR: This chapter will pay tribute to the complex regulation of simple sphingolipids, a class of lipids defined by their eighteen carbon amino-alcohol backbones that play significant roles in membrane biology and provide many bioactive metabolites that regulate cell function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sphingosine 1-phosphate and cancer.

TL;DR: There is substantial evidence that sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is involved in cancer and the potential for new therapeutics designed to alter S1P signalling and function in cancer is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Essential role for sphingosine kinases in neural and vascular development.

TL;DR: It is shown that S1P signaling is critical for neural and vascular development and joins a growing list of signaling molecules, such as vascular endothelial growth factor, which regulate the functionally intertwined pathways of angiogenesis and neurogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sphingosine-1-phosphate is a missing cofactor for the E3 ubiquitin ligase TRAF2

TL;DR: The data show that TRAF2 is a novel intracellular target of S1p, and that S1P is the missing cofactor for TRAF 2 E3 ubiquitin ligase activity, indicating a new paradigm for the regulation of lysine-63-linked polyubiquitination.

Lymphocyte egress from thymus and peripheral lymphoid organs is dependent on S1P receptor 1

TL;DR: It is established that S1P1 is essential for lymphocyte recirculation and that it regulates egress from both thymus and peripheral lymphoid organs.

Sphingosine-1-phosphate: an enigmatic signalling lipid

TL;DR: The evolutionarily conserved actions of the sphingolipid metabolite, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), in yeast, plants and mammals have shown that it has important functions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alteration of lymphocyte trafficking by sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor agonists.

TL;DR: It is shown that lymphocyte trafficking is altered by the lysophospholipid sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and by a phosphoryl metabolites of the immunosuppressive agent FTY720.
Journal ArticleDOI

The immune modulator FTY720 targets sphingosine 1-phosphate receptors.

TL;DR: The results suggest that FTY720, after phosphorylation, acts through sphingosine 1-phosphate signaling pathways to modulate chemotactic responses and lymphocyte trafficking.
