Epithelial and endothelial injury and a cascade of immune and interstitial cell activation in the kidney lead to AKI. After mild to moderate AKI, the epithelium can regenerate and restore kidney function, yet little is known about the endothelium during these repair processes. Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1P1), a G protein-coupled receptor, is necessary for vascular homeostasis. Here, we used an inducible genetic approach in a mouse model of AKI, ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), to determine the temporal effects of endothelial S1P1 during AKI. Deletion of endothelial S1P1 before IRI exacerbated kidney injury and inflammation, and the delayed deletion of S1P1 after IRI prevented kidney recovery, resulting in chronic inflammation and progressive fibrosis. Specifically, S1P1 directly suppressed endothelial activation of leukocyte adhesion molecule expression and inflammation. Altogether, the data indicate activation of endothelial S1P1 is necessary to protect from IRI and permit recovery from AKI. Endothelial S1P1 may be a therapeutic target for the prevention of early injury as well as prevention of progressive kidney fibrosis after AKI.

Unique pharmacological properties of etrasimod among S1P receptor modulators.

Etrasimod (ADP334) is an oral, once-daily, selective sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator for the treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis and in development for the treatment of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. Interaction between S1P and its five receptor subtypes (S1P-S1P) plays a role in several physiologic systems, including the cardiovascular and immune systems. Since differences in S1PR binding and downstream intracellular signaling could contribute to distinct profiles of drug efficacy and safety, we directly compared the S1P selectivity profile of etrasimod to three marketed S1PR modulators: fingolimod, ozanimod, and siponimod.

Ocular abnormal angiogenesis and edema are featured in several ocular diseases. S1P signaling via S1P1 likely is part of the negative feedback mechanism necessary to maintain vascular health. In this study, we conducted pharmacological experiments to determine whether ASP4058, a sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 1/5 (S1P1/5) agonist, is useful in abnormal vascular pathology in the eye.

The excess microvascular endothelial permeability is a hallmark of acute inflammatory diseases. Maintenance of microvascular integrity is critical to preventing leakage of vascular components into the surrounding tissues. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is an active lysophospholipid that enhances the endothelial cell (EC) barrier via activation of its receptor S1PR1.

This study investigates the inflammatory response to intra-plantar injection of L-cysteine in a murine model. L-cysteine induces a two-phase response: an early phase lasting 6 h and a late phase peaking at 24 h and declining by 192 h. The early phase shows increased neutrophil accumulation at 2 h up to 24 h, followed by a reduction at 48 h.

Background: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the major chronic microvascular complications of diabetes and the main cause of end-stage renal failure. Zhenwu Decoction (ZWD), an ancient classic herbal formula in Chinese medicine, has been clinically used for the treatment of kidney disease in China for many years. However, there is currently limited research investigating the application of ZWD in the treatment of DKD and the underlying chemical and biochemical mechanisms involved.
