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.

2-Aminobenzoxazole Derivatives as Potent Inhibitors of the Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Transporter Spinster Homolog 2 (Spns2).

TL;DR: In this article , the S1P1 receptor is the target of four marketed drugs for the treatment of multiple sclerosis and ulcerative colitis without cardiac toxicity, and the first Spns2 inhibitor SLF1081851 (16d) was reported.

On the role of bioactive sphingolipids and their metabolizing enzymes in cancer

Dilruba Ahmed
TL;DR: It is concluded that targeting these enzymes could potentiate other treatment effects in HCC and bladder cancer cells, and that inhibition of sphingosine kinase 1 enhances cytotoxicity, ceramide levels and ROS formation in liver cancer cells treated with selenite.

Induction of hemangiosarcoma in mice after chronic treatment with S1P-modulator siponimod and its lack of relevance to rat and human

TL;DR: The molecular mechanisms leading to siponimod-induced HSA in mice are considered species specific and likely irrelevant to humans, while it is suggested that the human cells also reproduce a lack of in vivo response to sip onimod.

Sphingosine kinases regulate ER contacts with late endocytic organelles and cholesterol trafficking

TL;DR: A previously unknown role for SphKs and sphingolipid metabolites in governing diverse MCS between the ER network and late endocytic organelles versus the PM to control the movement of cholesterol between distinct cell membranes is revealed.

Metabolic dysfunction and impairments in the DNA Damage Response: dissecting a pathomechanistic link betweenMicrocephalic Primordial Dwarfisms and cancer cachexia

TL;DR: Characterised novel effects of ATR deficiency in adipocyte differentiation and metabolism, and ER and autophagic functionality and discovered ATR at the ER membrane, where ATRi-induced vacuolisation was derived from swollen endoplasmic reticulum (ER) concomitant with ER stress.

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.
