Abstract: | AIM: To investigate the effects of sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 2 (S1PR2) on influenza A virus-induced viral pneumonia.METHODS: The animal model of influenza A virus pneumonia was established by infecting wild-type C57BL/6 mice and S1pr2-/- mice with influenza virus subtype FM1 mouse lung adaptable strain through nose drops. The pathological changes of the lung tissues of wild-type mice (model group), JTE-013 (S1PR2 effective antagonist)-challenged mice and S1pr2-/- mice were observed, and the protein concentration, total cell number, and interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels were determined in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) at 4 d and 6 d after virus infection. The phosphorylation levels of AKT and eNOS in the lung tissues were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with the wild-type mice of control group, the influenza A virus pneumonia in JTE treatment group and S1pr2-/- mice were more serious, and the protein concentration, total cell number and inflammatory cytokines in the BALF were remarkably increased. Moreover, the phosphorylation levels of AKT and eNOS, the downstream targets of PI3K, were significantly increased (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: S1PR2 mediates PI3K/AKT/eNOS signaling transduction pathway to regulate NO generation, and inhibit vascular permeability and inflammatory cytokine release, thus attenuating the viral pneumonia induced by influenza A virus. |
