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.

Anti-sphingosine-1-phosphate monoclonal antibodies inhibit angiogenesis and sub-retinal fibrosis in a murine model of laser-induced choroidal neovascularization

TL;DR: It is suggested that neutralizing S1P with anti-S1P mAbs may be a novel method of treating patients with exudative age-related macular degeneration by reducing angiogenesis and sub-retinal fibrosis, which are responsible for visual acuity loss in this disease.

Sphingosine 1-Phosphate Receptor 4 Uses HER2 (ERBB2) to Regulate Extracellular Signal Regulated Kinase-1/2 in MDA-MB-453 Breast Cancer Cells

TL;DR: The magnitude of the signaling gain on the ERK-1/2 pathway produced in response to S1p can be increased by HER2 in MDA-MB-453 cells, suggesting that S1P and EGF function in a mutually exclusive manner.

Translational aspects of sphingosine 1-phosphate biology

TL;DR: Fundamental aspects of S1P biology are described with an emphasis on the translational potential of intervention therapeutics and a major focus of research is to develop small-molecule antagonists/agonists/inhibitors that are specific to the different S 1P receptor subtypes and the enzymes that regulate S1p levels.
