项目摘要

ABSTRACT The goal of this project is to study the role of the host SK1-S1P pathway in controlling the infection by Cryptococcus neoformans (Cn). In previous studies, we identified that the host sphingosine kinase 1 (SK1) and its product sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) are critical for the formation of the lung granuloma against Cn.1-3 Our studies in mice are supported by the observation that patients treated with FTY720 (Fingolimod) for multiple sclerosis4 (MS) developed cryptococcosis.5-9 When we administered FTY720 to our model of mouse granuloma, Cn lung infection reactivated and fungal cells disseminated from the lung to the brain tissue, eventually killing the animals. Intriguingly, this effect was not observed with BAF312 or AUY954 treatment. FTY720 is a sphingosine analog that, once phosphorylated, mimics S1P and binds to S1P receptors S1Pr1, S1Pr3 and S1Pr510 whereas the un-phosphorylated form of BAF312 or AUY954 binds to S1Pr1 and S1Pr5,11 or only to S1Pr1,12 respectively. These results suggest that SK1-S1P may regulate the containment of Cn cells within the lung granuloma through the inhibition of a specific S1P receptor(s), such as S1Pr3, as this is one of the receptors targeted by FTY720 but not by the other compounds. Because these drugs all induce a severe lymphopenia by blocking the egress of lymphocytes from lymph nodes,13-15 our studies also suggest that lymphopenia may not be sufficient for Cn infection to reactivate. Based on these findings, we hypothesize that the action of S1P on S1Pr regulates the host cellular immunity against Cn and that blocking S1Pr3 is detrimental for the host and may lead to reactivation of cryptococcosis during lymphopenia. Thus we will: 1) determine how SK1-S1P regulates the formation of Cn granuloma; and 2) define the host immune response controlled by SK1-S1P that protects against the reactivation of Cn granuloma.

抽象的该项目的目的是研究主机SK1-S1P途径在控制感染中的作用加密赛（CN）。在先前的研究中，我们确定宿主鞘氨醇激酶1（SK1）及其ITS 产物鞘氨醇1-磷酸（S1P）对于与CN.1-3的形成至关重要小鼠的研究得到了以下观察结果，即用FTY720治疗的患者多次硬化症4（MS）开发了加密cococococococococopos.5-9当我们将FTY720施用到小鼠颗粒模型中时肺部感染重新激活，真菌细胞从肺部传播到脑组织，最终杀死动物。有趣的是，BAF312或AUY954处理未观察到这种效果。 FTY720是鞘氨醇一旦磷酸化，模仿S1P并与S1P受体S1PR1，S1PR3和S1PR510结合，而该类似物的类似物 BAF312或AUY954的未磷酸化形式分别与S1PR1和S1PR5,11结合，或仅与S1PR1,12结合。这些结果表明，SK1-S1P可以调节通过抑制特定的S1P受体，例如S1PR3，因为这是FTY720靶向的受体之一，但不是通过其他化合物。因为这些药物都通过阻止了淋巴结的淋巴细胞，13-15我们的研究还表明，淋巴细胞减少症可能不足以用于CN感染重新激活。基于这些发现，我们假设S1P对S1PR的作用调节宿主细胞对CN的免疫力，而阻止S1PR3对宿主有害，并可能导致重新激活淋巴细胞减少期间的隐球菌病。因此，我们将：1）确定SK1-S1P如何调节CN的形成颗粒瘤； 2）定义由SK1-S1P控制的宿主免疫反应，以防止 CN肉芽肿的重新激活。
