Sphingosine-1-phosphate Phosphatase 2 Regulates Pancreatic Islet B-cell Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Proliferation

ABSTRACT: Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a sphingolipid metabolite that regulates basic cell functions through metabolic and signaling pathways. Intracellular metabolism of S1P is controlled, in part, by two homologous S1P phosphatases, 1 and 2, which are encoded by Sgpp1 and Sgpp2, respectively. S1P phosphatase activity is needed for efficient recycling of sphingosine into the sphingolipid synthesis pathway. S1P phosphatase 1 is important for skin homeostasis, but little is known about the functional role of S1P phosphatase 2. To identify the functions of S1P phosphatase 2 in vivo, we studied mice with the Sgpp2 gene deleted. In contrast to Sgpp1-/- mice, Sgpp2-/- mice had normal skin and were viable into adulthood. Unexpectedly, WT mice expressed Sgpp2 mRNA at high levels in pancreatic islets when compared with other tissues. Sgpp2-/- mice had normal blood insulin levels and pancreatic islet size; however, Sgpp2-/- mice treated with a high-fat diet (HFD) had significantly lower blood insulin levels and smaller pancreatic islets compared with WT mice. The smaller islets in the HFD-treated Sgpp2-/- mice had a significantly lower adaptive B-cell proliferation rate in response to the diet compared with HFD-treated WT mice. Importantly, B-cells from Sgpp2-/- mice fed a normal diet showed significantly increased expression of proteins characteristic of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response compared with B-cells from WT mice. Our results suggest that Sgpp2 deletion causes B-cell ER stress, which is a known cause of B-cell dysfunction, and reveal a novel juncture in the sphingolipid recycling pathway that could impact the development of diabetes. Three replications of Mouse (WT vs KO) that were treated with with Normal and HFD foods.

Project description:Clinically significant radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality and a common toxicity in patients administered thoracic radiotherapy. While the molecular etiology of RILI is poorly understood, we previously characterized a murine model of RILI in which alterations in lung endothelial barrier integrity surfaced as a potentially important pathobiologic event. In these studies, inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase activity (simvastatin) reduced murine RILI-associated lung inflammation and vascular leak and attenuated radiation-induced dysregulation of sphingolipid metabolic pathway genes identified by genome-wide lung gene expression profiling. In the present study, we test the hypothesis that sphingolipid signaling components serve as important modulators of RILI pathobiology and novel therapeutic targets. Sphingolipid involvement in murine RILI was confirmed by radiation-induced increases in lung expression of sphingosine kinase (SphK) isoforms 1 and 2 and increases in the ratio of ceramide to cumulative sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and dihydro-S1P (DHS1P) levels in plasma, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and lung tissue following 25 Gy exposure (6 weeks). Moreover, genetically-engineered mice with either targeted deletion of SphK1 (SphK1-/-), or with reduced expression of selective members of the S1P receptor family (S1PR1+/-, S1PR2-/-, S1PR3-/-,), exhibited marked susceptibility to RILI-mediated lung inflammation. Finally, we assessed the efficacy of three potent vascular barrier-protective S1P analogues FTY720 (FTY), fTysiponate (fTyS) and SEW-2871 (SEW) in attenuating indices of RILI. The phosphonate analogue, fTyS, and to a lesser degree SEW, exhibited significant attenuation of RILI and RILI-induced gene dysregulation compared to control RILI-challenged mice (6 weeks). In contrast, FTY failed to significantly alter physiologic or genomic changes compared to RILI-challenged controls. Together, these results support the targeting of sphingolipid components as a novel and effective therapeutic strategy in RILI. Four mice were treated with PBS as a control. Three mice were treated with (S)-FTY-phosphonate (0.1mg/kg) as a drug control. Three mice were treated with SEW-2871 (0.1mg/kg) as a drug control. Three mice were treated with FTY720 (0.1mg/kg) as a drug control. Three mice were treated with administered radiation (25 Gy) alone. Three mice were treated with both administered radiation (25 Gy) and (S)-FTY-phosphonate (0.1mg/kg). Three mice were treated with both administered radiation (25 Gy) and SEW-2871 (0.1mg/kg). Three mice were treated with both administered radiation (25 Gy) and FTY720 (0.1mg/kg).
