physiological function | in contrast to wild-type mice, Sphk1-/- mice show markedly enhanced pulmonary edema formation in response to lipopolysaccharide and PAR-1 activation. Increased SPHK1 activity and decreased intracellular S1P concentration precede the onset of lung microvascular barrier recovery. Knockdown of SPHK1 decreases basal sphingosine 1-phoshate production and Rac1 activity but increases basal endothelial permeability. In SPHK1-depleted cells, PAR-1 activation fails to induce Rac1 activation but augments RhoA activation and endothelial hyperpermeability response. Knockdown of S1P1 receptor in endothelial cells also enhances the increase in endothelial permeability following PAR-1 activation. Sphingosine 1-phosphate treatment of Sphk1-/- lungs or SPHK1-deficient endothelial cells restores endothelial barrier function | Mus musculus |
