چکیده

It has been shown that dietary materials are involved in immune regulation in the intestine. Lipids mediate immune regulation through a complex metabolic network that produces many kinds of lipid mediators. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a lipid mediator that controls cell trafficking and activation. In this review, we focus on the immunological functions of S1P in the regulation of intestinal immune responses such as immunoglobulin A production and unique T cell trafficking, and its role in the development of intestinal immune diseases such as food allergies and intestinal inflammation, and also discuss the relationship between dietary materials and S1P metabolism.

The present study aimed to investigate whether sphingosine 1 phosphate (S1P), paraoxonase (PON), total sialic acid (TSA), and heat shock protein-27 (HSP27) are altered in the sheep during infection of the liver with Cysticercus tenuicollis. This study was conducted on40 healthy sheep and40 sheep with Cysticercus tenuicollis infection. The infected and non-infected animals were selected based on...

Correlations Between Plasma Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and Gene Expression of S1P Receptors with Mogenic Regulatory Factors Following Resistance Training

Background: The purpose of present study was to investigate whether Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) levels and its receptors gene expressions are correlated with MyoD and myogenin following resistance training. Materials and Methods: 24 eight-week-old male Wistar rats (190-250 gr) were assigned randomly to a control (N = 12) or training (N = 12) group. Rats climbed a resistance training ladder...

Sphingosine 1-phosphate-mediated trafficking of pathogenic Th2 and mast cells for the control of food allergy.

Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) has been proposed as a regulator of lymphocyte trafficking, but its role in mucosa-associated diseases, such as in food allergies, remains to be elucidated. To examine the role of S1P in allergic diseases in the intestine, we used a Th2 cell-mediated Ag-specific allergic diarrhea model and demonstrated that type 1 S1P receptor (S1P(1)) expression was preferentially...

The Spinster Homolog, Two of Hearts, Is Required for Sphingosine 1-Phosphate Signaling in Zebrafish

The bioactive lipid sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) and its G protein-coupled receptors play critical roles in cardiovascular, immunological, and neural development and function. Despite its importance, many questions remain about S1P signaling, including how S1P, which is synthesized intracellularly, is released from cells. Mutations in the zebrafish gene encoding the S1P receptor Miles Apart (M...

Role of Ceramide from Glycosphingolipids and Its Metabolites in Immunological and Inflammatory Responses in Humans

Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are composed of hydrophobic ceramide and hydrophilic sugar chains. GSLs cluster to form membrane microdomains (lipid rafts) on plasma membranes, along with several kinds of transducer molecules, including Src family kinases and small G proteins. However, GSL-mediated biological functions remain unclear. Lactosylceramide (LacCer, CDw17) is highly expressed on the plasma...
