| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Sphingosine kinase phosphorylates sphingosine to generate sphingosine 1 phosphate (S1P). S1P stimulates the five S1P receptors (S1PR), but S1PRs’ roles in the respiratory system and the therapeutic effect of S1PR antagonist in experimental asthma mouse model are not well understood. Bronchial epithelial cells in mouse lung expressed S1PR1 to 3. S1P induced proinflammatory cytokine production by the bronchial epithelial cells. In experimental asthma model, JTE013 exhibited substantially attenuated eosinophilic inflammation. In conclusion, JTE013 attenuated eosinophilic inflammation via regulating proinflammatory cytokines from bronchial epithelial cells. Our results suggest that JTE013 might be a possible candidate for the bronchial asthma treatment.
