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.read more

Sphingosine-1-phosphate and Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptors in the cardiovascular system: pharmacology and clinical implications.
TL;DR: In this article , the authors summarized the available information on S1P receptors in the cardiovascular system and discussed their potential for treating cardiovascular conditions and/or their role on the clinical pharmacology of drugs so far approved for non-cardiovascular conditions.

Inhibition of Tumors in Mice Models by a Synthetic Ceramide-analog AD2725
TL;DR: In animal studies, treatment with AD2725 resulted in a significant reduction of the tumor volume and weight, and a significantly prolonged survival of the treated mice, indicating that use of suitable synthetic analogs that most probably elevate the ceramide levels may have beneficial anti-cancer therapeutic effects.

The Emerging Role of Sphingolipids in Cancer Stem Cell Biology
TL;DR: There is emerging evidence to suggest that sphingolipids and alterations in sphingoipid metabolism contribute to cancer stem cell biology.

Integrated Metabonomics and Network Pharmacology to Reveal the Action Mechanism Effect of Shaoyao Decoction on Ulcerative Colitis
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors explored the mechanism of SYD in the treatment of mice with ulcerative colitis (UC) induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) through metabolomics and network pharmacology, and verify through molecular docking and immunohistochemistry, so as to provide a scientific basis for the role of SyD in treating UC.

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
Liming Sun,Huayi Wang,Zhigao Wang,Sudan He,She Chen,Daohong Liao,Lai Wang,Jiacong Yan,Weilong Liu,Xiaoguang Lei,Xiaodong Wang +10 more
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.
