Research Abstract |
Increased secretion of inflammatory adipocytekines has been related to the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome. Present study revealed that sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) stimulated inflammatory adipocytokine secretion such as IL-6 and MCP-1 from mature adipocytes, mediated by an receptor S1P3 among five subtype receptors for S1P. The specific inhibitor for S1P3 was effective to suppress these inflammatory adipocytokines, which suggest that the S1P3 specific inhibitor may ameliorate the pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome.
