摘要：Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive lysophospholipid that regulates numerous key cardiovascular functions. High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) are the major plasma lipoprotein carriers of S1P. Fibrinolysis is a physiological process that allows fibrin clot dissolution, and decreased fibrinolytic capacity may result from increased circulating levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1). We examined the effect of S1P associated with HDL subfractions on PAI-1 secretion from 3T3 adipocytes. S1P concentration in HDL3 averaged twice that in HDL2. Incubation of adipocytes with increasing concentrations of S1P in HDL3, but not HDL2, or with S1P complexed to albumin stimulated PAI-I secretion in a concentration-dependent manner. Quantitative RT-PCR revealed that S1P1–3 are expressed in 3T3 adipocytes, with S1P2 expressed in the greatest amount. Treatment of adipocytes with the S1P1 and S1P3 antagonist VPC23019 did not block PAI-1 secretion. Inhibiting S1P2 with JTE-013 or reducing the expression of the gene coding for S1P2 using silencing RNA (siRNA) technology blocked PAI-1 secretion, suggesting that the S1P2 receptor mediates PAI-1 secretion from adipocytes exposed to HDL3 or S1P. Treatment with the phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor U73122, the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor RO-318425, or the Rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK) inhibitor Y27632 all significantly inhibited HDL3- and S1P-mediated PAI-1 release, suggesting that HDL3- and/or S1P-stimulated PAI-1 secretion from 3T3 cells is mediated by activation of multiple, downstream signaling pathways of S1P2.
