Abstract:Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive sphingolipid that regulates fundamental cellular processes such as proliferation, migration, apoptosis, and differentiation through five cognate G protein-coupled receptors (S1P1–S1P5). We previously demonstrated that blockade of S1P2 signaling in S1P2-deficient mice attenuates high-fat diet-induced adipocyte hypertrophy and glucose intolerance and a S1P2-specific antagonist JTE-013 inhibits, whereas an S1P1/S1P3 dual antagonist (VPC23019) activates adipogenic diffe… Show more
“…Reduced plasma and adipose tissue S1P levels in SphK1 −/− mice improved insulin resistance, which is associated with reducing adipocyte hypertrophy and inflammation in adipose tissue [96]. Our observations that either S1P 1 activation or S1P 2 blockage ameliorated adipocyte hypertrophy, glucose intolerance, and inflammation in the VAT of obese mice [1,2] were consistent with previous results showing that apoM-carrying S1P worked through S1P 1/3 to improve insulin resistance, whereas albumin-carrying S1P activated S1P 2 to exacerbate it in obese adipocytes (Figure 2) [110,132] and the liver [106]. Hepatic insulin resistance is caused by the accumulation of ceramide and its metabolite, sphingosine [103,104,107].…”

“…Administration of JTE-013 or SEW-2871 for 12 weeks reduced body weight gain and adipocyte size in both epididymal and inguinal adipose tissues of ob/ob mice [2], and improved glucose intolerance and inflammation in epididymal adipose tissue (but not hepatic steatosis); however, all SEW-2871 effects were canceled by co-administration with VPC-23019 [2]. Consistent with the results in HFD-fed S1P 2 −/− mice [1], preventing adipose tissue inflammation and glucose intolerance using JTE-013 and SEW-2871 was attributed to reducing adipocyte size rather than weight loss.…”

“…Systemic genetic deletion of S1P 3 exacerbated HFD-induced hepatic steatosis [109]. In contrast, oral administration of JTE-013 (an S1P 2 antagonist) and SEW-2871 (an S1P 1 agonist) failed to alleviate hepatic steatosis [2]. In HFD-induced obese mice, the levels of plasma S1P and its carrier, apoM, were upregulated.…”

“…Nextgeneration S1PR modulators with fewer adverse effects and receptor specificities, including mocravimod (S1P 1/4/5 agonist), ozanimod (S1P 1/5 agonist), etrasimod (S1P 1/4/5 agonist), amiselimod (S1P 1 agonist), ponesimod (S1P 1/4/5 agonist), siponimod (S1P 1/5 agonist), and ceralifimod (S1P 1/5 agonist), were developed and investigated for clinical application in diseases other than multiple sclerosis, including inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and certain cancers [87]. In the laboratory, SEW-2871 has been used as a S1P 1 agonist, VPC-23019 as a S1P 1/3 antagonist, JTE-013 as a S1P 2 antagonist, and CYM-50358 as a S1P 4 antagonist [1,2].…”

“…Among the numerous candidates, a few researchers have focused on sphingolipid-derived mediators such as sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) and ceramide, which have potent and diverse physiological properties. In this review, we summarize the biological roles of S1P/ceramide in obesity and insulin signaling and discuss the prospects of S1P receptor (S1PR) agonists for use as therapeutics, partly based on our results [1,2], where obesity and T2DM could be treated by modulating specific S1PR signaling. Additionally, there is accumulating evidence showing the roles of S1P/S1PR in the onset and progression of NAFLD and hepatic fibrosis [3][4][5].…”
One of the major global health and welfare issues is the treatment of obesity and associated metabolic disorders, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Obesity, caused by the excessive accumulation of triglycerides in adipose tissues, induces adipocyte dysfunction, followed by inflammation, in adipose tissues and lipotoxicity in nonadipose tissues. Several studies have shown that obesity and glucose homeostasis are influenced by sphingolipid mediators, including ceramide and sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P). Cellular accumulation of ceramide impairs pancreatic β-cell survival, confers insulin resistance in the liver and the skeletal muscle, and deteriorates adipose tissue inflammation via unknown molecular mechanisms. The roles of S1P are more complicated, because there are five cell-surface S1P receptors (S1PRs: S1P1–5) which have altered functions, different cellular expression patterns, and inapparent intracellular targets. Recent findings, including those by our group, support the notable concept that the pharmacological activation of S1P1 or S1P3 improves obesity and associated metabolic disorders, whereas that of S1P2 has the opposite effect. In addition, the regulation of S1P production by sphingosine kinase (SphK) is an essential factor affecting glucose homeostasis. This review summarizes the current knowledge on SphK/S1P/S1PR signaling in and against obesity, insulin resistance, and associated disorders.
