Pathogenic sphingosine 1-phosphate pathway in psoriasis: a critical review of its pathogenic significance and potential as a therapeutic target
Lipids in health and disease(2023)
Abstract
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a sphingolipid mediator that exerts a variety of biological functions, including immune, cardiovascular, and neurological regulation as well as tumor promotion, through high-affinity G protein-coupled receptors (S1P 1-5 ). It has been reported that circulating S1P levels remain higher in patients with psoriasis than in healthy individuals and that circulating S1P levels do not decrease after anti-TNF-α treatment in those patients. The S1P-S1PR signaling system plays an important role in inhibiting keratinocyte proliferation, regulating lymphocyte migration, and promoting angiogenesis, thus contributing to the regulation of psoriasis pathogenesis. Here, we review the mechanisms by which S1P-S1PR signaling affects the development of psoriasis and the available clinical/preclinical evidence for targeting S1P-S1PR in psoriasis. S1P-S1PR signaling mechanisms may partially explain the link between psoriasis and its comorbidities. Although the detailed mechanisms remain to be elucidated, S1P may be a new target for future psoriasis remission.
