Immunopharmacology Comments
Sphingosine 1-phosphate lyase (S1PL) has been characterized as a novel target for the treatment of autoimmune disorders using genetic and pharmacological methods. S1PL knockout mice with partial reduction of S1PL activity exhibit profoundly reduced T cell immigration [3], an effect that is mediated by elevated S1P levels. Elevated S1P acts to functionally antagonise the S1PR signalling pathway (via receptor internalisation and desensitisation), which results in inhibition of lymphocyte egress from secondary immune tissues and causes peripheral lymphopenia and immunosuppression. S1PL-deficient mice also exhibit resistance to various inflammatory and autoimmune challenges. Pharmacological S1PL inhibitors recapitulate the effect of gene-knockdown. These findings suggest that inhibition of S1PL represents a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of autoimmune disorders. As a result, S1PL inhibitors are being investigated for their potential to treat T cell dependent autoimmune diseases [2,4,8].
Immuno Process Associations
Immuno Process:  Immune system development
Clinically-Relevant Mutations and Pathophysiology Comments
A homozygous point mutation results in mislocalisation of S1P lyase from the endoplasmic reticulum in pediatric alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma [1].
General Comments
S1PL is a microsomal enzyme that tightly regulates intracellular S1P levels. It catalyzes the irreversible retro-aldol reaction of S1P to 2-hexadecenal and phosphoethanolamine.
