肥満糖尿病マウスob/ob miceにS1P受容体1作動薬SEW-2871、S1P受容体2阻害薬JTE-013を投与した結果、同等に体重増加を抑制し、耐糖能障害を改善し、脂肪組織炎症を改善した。

Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive sphingolipid that regulates fundamental cellular processes such as proliferation, migration, apoptosis, and differentiation through 5 cognate G protein-coupled receptors (S1P1-S1P5). We previously demonstrated that blockade of S1P2 signaling in S1P2-deficient mice attenuates high-fat diet-induced adipocyte hypertrophy and glucose intolerance and an S1P2-specific antagonist JTE-013 inhibits, whereas an S1P1/S1P3 dual antagonist (VPC23019) activates, adipogenic differentiation of preadipocytes. Based on those observations, this study examined whether an S1P1-specific agonist, SEW-2871, VPC23019, or their combination acts on obesity and glucose intolerance in leptin-deficient ob/ob mice. The oral administration of SEW-2871 or JTE-013 induced significant reductions in body/epididymal fat weight gains and epididymal/inguinal fat adipocyte sizes and improved glucose intolerance and adipocyte inflammation in ob/ob mice but not in their control C57BL/6J mice. Both SEW-2871 and JTE-013 decreased messenger RNA levels of tumor necrosis factor-α and CD11c, whereas they increased those of CD206 and adiponectin in the epididymal fats isolated from ob/ob mice with no changes in the levels of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ and its regulated genes. By contrast, VPC23019 did not cause any such alterations but counteracted with all those SEW-2871 actions in these mice. In conclusion, the S1P1 agonist SEW-2871 acted like the S1P2 antagonist JTE-013 to reduce body/epididymal fats and improve glucose tolerance in obese mice. Therefore, this study raises the possibility that endogenous S1P could promote obesity/type 2 diabetes through the S1P2, whereas exogenous S1P could act against them through the S1P1.
