Abstract
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition in aging males, but its underlying pathogenesis remains unclear. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and its receptors (S1PRs) play important roles in various diseases, while less studied in prostate. Current study attempts to clarify the expression and functional activities of S1P/S1PRs in the prostate. We discovered that S1P/S1PRs were richly expressed in the prostate, with S1PR1/2/3 localized in the epithelial/stromal compartments, while S1PR4/5 were less expressed. In vitro, S1P/S1PR1/S1PR3 promoted cell proliferation via AKT and ERK1/2 pathways, S1P/S1PR2/S1PR3 enhanced contraction of WPMY-1 cells and human prostate via RhoA/ROCK pathway, while S1P/S1PR1/S1PR2/S1PR3 alleviated the inflammation response via STAT3 pathway. In vivo, S1P and S1PR1/3 agonists (SEW2871, CYM5541) led to prostate enlargement in rats, while S1PR1/3 antagonists (W-146, TY-52156) suppressed testosterone-induced BPH. Overall, this study suggests that S1P/S1PRs play a critical role in the development of BPH and may be a promising therapeutic target for BPH treatment.
期刊介绍:
Science has many big remaining questions. To address them, we will need to work collaboratively and across disciplines. The goal of iScience is to help fuel that type of interdisciplinary thinking. iScience is a new open-access journal from Cell Press that provides a platform for original research in the life, physical, and earth sciences. The primary criterion for publication in iScience is a significant contribution to a relevant field combined with robust results and underlying methodology. The advances appearing in iScience include both fundamental and applied investigations across this interdisciplinary range of topic areas. To support transparency in scientific investigation, we are happy to consider replication studies and papers that describe negative results.
We know you want your work to be published quickly and to be widely visible within your community and beyond. With the strong international reputation of Cell Press behind it, publication in iScience will help your work garner the attention and recognition it merits. Like all Cell Press journals, iScience prioritizes rapid publication. Our editorial team pays special attention to high-quality author service and to efficient, clear-cut decisions based on the information available within the manuscript. iScience taps into the expertise across Cell Press journals and selected partners to inform our editorial decisions and help publish your science in a timely and seamless way.
