Sinusoidal protection by sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 agonist in liver ischemia-reperfusion injury.
Functional and structural damages in sinusoidal endothelial cells (SECs) have a crucial role during hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). In regulating endothelial function, sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1), which is a G protein-coupled receptor, has an important role. The present study aimed to clarify whether SEW2871, a selective S1PR1 agonist, can attenuate hepatic damage caused by hepatic IRI, focusing on SEC functions.. In vivo, using a 60-min partial-warm IRI model, mice were treated with SEW2871 or without it (with vehicle). In vitro, isolated SECs pretreated with SEW2871 or without it (with vehicle) were incubated with hydrogen peroxide.. Compared with the IRI + vehicle group, SEW2871 administration significantly improved serum transaminase levels and liver damage, attenuated infiltration of Ly-6G and mouse macrophage antigen-1-positive cells, suppressed the expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 and proinflammatory cytokines in the liver, and enhanced the expressions of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and vascular endothelial (VE) cadherin in the liver (eNOS/β-actin [median]: 0.24 versus 0.53, P = 0.008; VE-cadherin/β-actin [median]: 0.21 versus 0.94, P = 0.008). In vitro, compared with the vehicle group, pretreatment of SECs with SEW2871 significantly increased the expressions of eNOS and VE-cadherin (eNOS/β-actin [median]: 0.22 versus 0.29, P = 0.008; VE-cadherin/β-actin [median]: 0.38 versus 0.67, P = 0.008). As results of investigation of prosurvival signals, SEW2871 significantly increased Akt phosphorylation in SECs and decreased lactate dehydrogenase levels in supernatants of SECs.. These results indicate that S1PR1 agonist induces attenuation of hepatic IRI, which might be provided by preventing SEC damage. S1PR1 may be a therapeutic target for the prevention of early sinusoidal injury after hepatic IRI.

Activation of sphingosine-1-phosphate 1 receptor in the proximal tubule protects against ischemia-reperfusion injury.
Agonists of the sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor (S1PR) attenuate kidney ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Previous studies suggested that S1P1R-induced lymphopenia mediates this protective effect, but lymphocyte-independent mechanisms could also contribute. Here, we investigated the effects of S1PR agonists on kidney IRI in mice that lack T and B lymphocytes (Rag-1 knockout mice). Administration of the nonselective S1PR agonist FTY720 or the selective S1P1R agonist SEW2871 reduced injury in both Rag-1 knockout and wild-type mice. In vitro, SEW2871 significantly attenuated LPS- or hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced apoptosis in cultured mouse proximal tubule epithelial cells, supporting a direct protective effect of S1P1R agonists via mitogen-activated protein kinase and/or Akt pathways. S1P1Rs in the proximal tubule mediated IRI in vivo as well: Mice deficient in proximal tubule S1P1Rs experienced a greater decline in renal function after IRI than control mice and their kidneys were no longer protected by SEW2871 administration. In summary, S1PRs in the proximal tubule are necessary for stress-induced cell survival, and S1P1R agonists are renoprotective via direct effects on the tubule cells. Selective agonists of S1P1Rs may hold therapeutic potential for the prevention and treatment of acute kidney injury.

Sphinganine-1-phosphate protects kidney and liver after hepatic ischemia and reperfusion in mice through S1P1 receptor activation.
Liver failure due to ischemia and reperfusion (IR) and subsequent acute kidney injury are significant clinical problems. We showed previously that liver IR selectively reduced plasma sphinganine-1-phosphate levels without affecting sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) levels. Furthermore, exogenous sphinganine-1-phosphate protected against both liver and kidney injury induced by liver IR. In this study, we elucidated the signaling mechanisms of sphinganine-1-phosphate-mediated renal and hepatic protection. A selective S1P(1) receptor antagonist blocked the hepatic and renal protective effects of sphinganine-1-phosphate, whereas a selective S1P(2) or S1P(3) receptor antagonist was without effect. Moreover, a selective S1P(1) receptor agonist, SEW-2871, provided similar degree of liver and kidney protection compared with sphinganine-1-phosphate. Furthermore, in vivo gene knockdown of S1P(1) receptors with small interfering RNA abolished the hepatic and renal protective effects of sphinganine-1-phosphate. In contrast to sphinganine-1-phosphate, S1P's hepatic protection was enhanced with an S1P(3) receptor antagonist. Inhibition of extracellular signal-regulated kinase, Akt or pertussis toxin-sensitive G-proteins blocked sphinganine-1-phosphate-mediated liver and kidney protection in vivo. Taken together, our results show that sphinganine-1-phosphate provided renal and hepatic protection after liver IR injury in mice through selective activation of S1P(1) receptors and pertussis toxin-sensitive G-proteins with subsequent activation of ERK and Akt.

A sphingosine-1-phosphate type 1 receptor agonist inhibits the early T-cell transient following renal ischemia-reperfusion injury.
T cells are thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI); however, earlier studies have not found significant T-cell numbers in the kidney following injury. In this study we test the hypothesis that T cells transiently infiltrate the kidney following reperfusion and leave behind T-cell-derived cytokines such as interferons and interleukins, thus triggering an inflammatory reaction. An early rise of infiltrating T cells was coupled with a decrease in both circulating lymphocytes and CD4+ cells of periarterial lymphocyte aggregates. The renal expression of several chemokines was rapidly and markedly increased by ischemia-reperfusion (IR). Sphingosine-1-phosphate type 1 receptor agonists have been shown to protect kidneys from injury. One of these agonists given before IR significantly reduced histologically assessed renal injury, circulating lymphocyte numbers, and renal T-cell infiltration. This pretreatment did not, however, affect the increase in T-cell chemokines but caused an increase in CD4+ cells in the renal lymphatic system. We conclude that T-cell infiltration is an early event after IRI and is mediated by several chemokines. Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor agonists reduce renal injury and T-cell infiltration in spite of chemokine generation by inhibiting T-cell mobilization from both renal and extra-renal lymphoid tissue.

Selective sphingosine 1-phosphate 1 receptor activation reduces ischemia-reperfusion injury in mouse kidney.
The mechanisms involved in renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) are complex and appear to involve the early participation of bone marrow-derived cells. T lymphocytes participate in the pathogenesis of IRI. Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) induces peripheral T cell depletion. Therefore, we hypothesized that S1P1 receptor activation protects kidney from IRI. FTY-720, a non-receptor-selective sphingosine analog, was given intraperitoneally to C57BL/6 mice, and animals were subjected to ischemia for 32 min followed by reperfusion for 24 h. Plasma creatinine, blood count, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, and renal histology were determined. IRI led to a marked increase in plasma creatinine, MPO activity, leukocyte infiltration, and vascular permeability. FTY-720 significantly decreased plasma creatinine in a dose-response manner with a maximal reduction of approximately 73 and approximately 69% with doses of 240 and 48 microg/kg, respectively. MPO, leukocyte infiltration, vascular permeability, and peripheral blood lymphocyte counts were markedly decreased with FTY-720 treatment. The protective effect of FTY-720 was reversed with VPC-44116, a selective S1P1 receptor antagonist. Furthermore, SEW-2871, a selective S1P1 agonist, significantly decreased plasma creatinine in a dose-response manner with a maximal reduction of approximately 70% with a dose of 10 mg/kg. Analysis of kidneys by light microscopy revealed minimal histological signs of ischemic injury with FTY-720 or SEW-2871 treatment compared with the vehicle group. Using RT-PCR, we found a time-dependent increase in the S1P1 mRNA expression following IRI that begins after 2 h with the maximum expression at approximately 4 h. We conclude that the protective effect of FTY-720 is due primarily to activation of S1P1 receptors. The mechanism of protection is not known but may be related to peripheral lymphocyte depletion or direct effects on kidney cells expressing S1P1 receptor.

S1P(1)-selective agonist, SEW2871, ameliorates ischemic acute renal failure.
The pathogenesis of renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury involves activating several signal transduction cascade systems in endothelial cells. Sphingosine 1-phospate (S1P) maintains endothelial cell integrity and inhibits lymphocyte egress via the specific S1P(1) receptor, and may play a role in reducing ischemic renal injury. We examined the protective effects of a newly identified S1P(1)-selective agonist, SEW2871, on mouse renal I/R injury. Kidneys were harvested 1-4 days after I/R injury for histopathology, immunofluorescence studies, and quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analyses to assess the change in gene expression profiles of inflammation-associated cytokines and adhesion molecules. SEW2871 improved renal function with a 40% reduction in plasma creatinine levels (P<0.01) and a significant reduction in tubular necrosis scores (I/R only: 4.3+/-0.2 vs I/R+SEW2871: 2.5+/-0.4, P<0.05) 24 h after ischemia. These changes were accompanied by 69% reduction in circulating lymphocytes, and 77 and 66% reduction in infiltrating neutrophils and macrophages in renal outer medulla, respectively (all P<0.01). The mRNA abundance of tumor necrotic factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), P-selectin, E-selectin, and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) was markedly increased by I/R injury (3.5-, 4.1-, 3.5-, and 4.8-folds, respectively, all P<0.05 vs sham). SEW2871 treatment partially reversed the upregulation of TNF-alpha, P-selectin, and ICAM-1 (47, 59, 54%, respectively, vs I/R control: 100%, all P<0.05). The reduction in protein expression of TNF-alpha, P-selectin, and ICAM-1 was further confirmed with immunofluorescence studies. These results suggest that SEW2871 ameliorates renal I/R injury by inhibiting lymphocyte egress and reducing pro-inflammatory molecules. This new class of renoprotective agent shows promise as a novel approach in preventing/treating ischemic acute renal failure.
