Ichthyosis associated with sphingosine 1-phosphate lyase insufficiency syndrome is due to aberrant calcium and sphingolipid regulation

ABSTRACT: Sphingosine 1-phosphate lyase (SGPL1) insufficiency (SPLIS) is a syndrome which presents with adrenal insufficiency, steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome, hypothyroidism, neurological disease, and ichthyosis. Where a skin phenotype is reported, 94% presented with abnormalities such as ichthyosis, acanthosis, and hyperpigmentation. To elucidate the disease mechanism and the role SGPL1 plays in the skin barrier we established CRISPR-Cas9 SGPL1 knock-out and a lentiviral induced SGPL1 overexpression in nTERT immortalised keratinocytes and thereafter organotypic skin equivalents. Loss of SGPL1 caused an accumulation of S1P, sphingosine and ceramide while its overexpression caused a reduction of these species. RNAseq analysis showed perturbations in sphingolipid pathway genes, particularly in SGPL1_KO and GSEA revealed polar opposite differential gene expression between SGPL1_KO and _OE in keratinocyte differentiation and Ca2+ signalling genesets. SGPL1_KO upregulated differentiation markers while SGPL1_OE upregulated basal and proliferative markers. The advanced differentiation of SGPL1_KO was confirmed by 3D organotypic models that also presented with a thickened and retained stratum corneum, sphingolipid accumulation in the spinous layer and a breakdown of E-cadherin junctions. We hypothesise that SPLIS associated ichthyosis is a multi-faceted disease caused by sphingolipid imbalance and excessive S1P signalling.

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).
