TLDR
The ways in which S1P might be therapeutically targeted are discussed — for example, via the development of chemical inhibitors that target the generation, transport and degradation of S 1P and via thedevelopment of specific S1p receptor agonists.
Abstract
The bioactive lipid sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is involved in multiple cellular signalling systems and has a pivotal role in the control of immune cell trafficking. As such, S1P has been implicated in disorders such as cancer and inflammatory diseases. This Review discusses the ways in which S1P might be therapeutically targeted — for example, via the development of chemical inhibitors that target the generation, transport and degradation of S1P and via the development of specific S1P receptor agonists. We also highlight recent conflicting results observed in preclinical studies targeting S1P and discuss ongoing clinical trials in this field.

TP53 is required for BECN1- and ATG5-dependent cell death induced by sphingosine kinase 1 inhibition.

TL;DR: TP53 plays an important role in vacuole-associated cell death induced by SPHK1 inhibition in cancer cells, and downregulation of the key regulators of autophagic flux, BECN1 and ATG5, dramatically decreased the cytotoxicity of SK1-I only in cells with TP53 expression.

Sphingosine 1-phosphate as a link between blood coagulation and inflammation.

TL;DR: It is concluded that S1P might represent an until now underestimated lipid mediator of inflammatory reactions following activation of the clotting system and, in this context, also involved in the development and progression of atherosclerosis.

Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 mediates elevated IL-6 signaling to promote chronic inflammation and multitissue damage in sickle cell disease.

TL;DR: It is revealed that elevated S1P, coupled with macrophage S1PR1 reciprocally inducing IL‐6 expression, is a key signaling network functioning as a malicious, positive, feed‐forward loop to sustain inflammation and promote tissue damage in SCD.

Transforming Sphingosine Kinase 1 Inhibitors into Dual and Sphingosine Kinase 2 Selective Inhibitors: Design, Synthesis, and in Vivo Activity

TL;DR: In vivo administration of 20dd validated that inhibition of SphK2 increases blood S1P levels, and the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of aminothiazole-based guanidine inhibitors of sphingosine 1-phosphate were validated.

Angiocrine Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Activation of S1PR2-YAP Signaling Axis in Alveolar Type II Cells Is Essential for Lung Repair.

TL;DR: Angiocrine S1P released after injury acts via the S1PR2-YAP signaling axis on AT2 cells to promote AT2 to AT1 differentiation required for alveolar repair, demonstrating the role of the LMVEC-derived bioactive lipid sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P).

STATs in cancer inflammation and immunity: a leading role for STAT3

TL;DR: Signal transducer and activator of transcription proteins are central in determining whether immune responses in the tumour microenvironment promote or inhibit cancer, and STAT3 is a promising target to redirect inflammation for cancer therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Principles of bioactive lipid signalling: lessons from sphingolipids

TL;DR: An understanding of the complex pathways of sphingolipid metabolism and the mechanisms that regulate lipid generation and lipid action is required to understand the mechanisms of cell growth, death, senescence, adhesion, migration, inflammation, angiogenesis and intracellular trafficking.

The many roles of histone deacetylases in development and physiology: Implications for disease and therapy

TL;DR: In this article, the expression of many HDAC isoforms in eukaryotic cells raises questions about their possible specificity or redundancy, and whether they control global or specific programs of gene expression.

Heart-lung transplantation.

TL;DR: A broad overview of the various grounds upon which this difference is likely based and discuss recent advances in each area: 1) criteria for the selection of candidates and donors, 2) methods for ex-vivo preservation of donor organs, 3) technical execution of the operative procedure, and 4) prevention of postoperative infection as discussed by the authors.

Mixed Lineage Kinase Domain-like Protein Mediates Necrosis Signaling Downstream of RIP3 Kinase

TL;DR: The identification of a small molecule called necrosulfonamide that specifically blocks necrosis downstream of RIP3 activation is reported, which implicate MLKL as a key mediator of necrosis signaling downstream of the kinase RIP3.
