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.

Regulation of Mitochondrial Function by Bioactive Sphingolipids

Rajeev Nema, +1 more
TL;DR: The role of signaling sphingolipids, such as S1P, sphingosine, and ceramide-1 phosphate on mitochondrial function, particularly mitochondrial respiratory function, apoptosis and calcium homeostasis is focused on.

A comparative LC-MS based profiling approach to analyze lipid composition in tissue culture systems.

TL;DR: This method describes the isolation of lipids from tissue culture cells, sample preparation for LC-MS, theLC-MS run, and the subsequent data processing steps to compare the global lipid profiles and identify species that are enhanced or depleted.

Discovery of heterocyclic sulfonamides as sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1P1) antagonists.

TL;DR: A novel class of heterocyclic sulfonamides that act as antagonists of the S1P1 receptor is discovered and a representative enantiopure triazole sulfonamide has measurable bioavailability following a low (3mg/kg) oral dose in rat, highlighting an achievement of the early hit-to-lead efforts for this series.

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.
