Pharmacological intervention with the sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulator siponimod during cuprizone intoxication attenuated OLIG2 protein loss, indicating that this stress-induced state is pharmacologically modifiable...Thus, OLIG2 protein loss may serve as an early indicator of oligodendrocyte stress and a possible therapeutic target for preserving myelin integrity in demyelinating disorders. These findings have additional methodological implications as stressed oligodendrocytes may evade detection using OLIG2-based lineage markers.
FTY720, an S1P receptor antagonist, significantly inhibits ER stress-induced IEC injury. Our findings highlight the pathogenic role of host SPHK1 in gastrointestinal injury during aGVHD and suggest that targeting SPHK1 could be a therapeutic strategy for managing this condition.
Molecular docking and dynamics simulations showed that R120P and F125S weaken binding affinity for natural agonist sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and FTY720P, while antagonist W146 retained strong binding...Collectively, these findings identified high-risk nsSNPs in S1PR1 gene with potential structural and functional implications, particularly in diseases involving impaired receptor signaling. These findings enhanced our understanding of how specific nsSNPs can influence disease susceptibility, drug response, and receptor function, paving the way for precision medicine approaches in treating autoimmune and inflammatory disorders.
