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.

Vascular endothelial S1pr1 ameliorates adverse cardiac remodelling via stimulating reparative macrophage proliferation after myocardial infarction

TL;DR: It is revealed that cardiac microvascular endothelium promotes reparative macrophage proliferation in injured hearts via the S1P/S1PR1/ERK/CSF1 pathway and thus ameliorates post-MI adverse cardiac remodeling.

Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Mediates a Reciprocal Signaling Pathway between Stellate Cells and Cancer Cells that Promotes Pancreatic Cancer Growth

TL;DR: Pancreatic cancer cell-derived sphingosine-1-phosphate activates PSCs to release paracrine factors, including matrix metalloproteinase-9, which reciprocally promotes tumor cell migration and invasion in vitro and cancer growth in vivo.

Sphingosine kinase 1 overexpression is associated with poor prognosis and oxaliplatin resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma.

TL;DR: The present study is the first to report that SphK1 is associated with poor prognosis and oxaliplatin resistance in HCC and the findings have provided a direction for the identification of novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of HCC.

Exploring the role of sphingolipid machinery during the epithelial to mesenchymal transition program using an integrative approach

TL;DR: The sphingolipid/EMT signature was identified primarily in lung adenocarcinoma tissues; besides, bladder, colorectal and prostate cancers were among the top-ranked tissues and the findings also highlight novel regulatory associations between influenza virus and the sphingosine 1-phosphate-/ceramide-metabolizing enzymes and S1P transporters.

Sphingosine-1-Phosphate in the Tumor Microenvironment: A Signaling Hub Regulating Cancer Hallmarks

TL;DR: How sphingosine-1-phosphate signaling contributes to favor cancer hallmarks including enhancement of proliferation, stemness, invasion, death resistance, angiogenesis, immune evasion and, possibly, aberrant metabolism is described.

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.

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.
