Macrophage S1PR1 Signaling Alters Angiogenesis and Lymphangiogenesis During Skin Inflammation.

ABSTRACT: The bioactive lipid sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), along with its receptors, modulates lymphocyte trafficking and immune responses to regulate skin inflammation. Macrophages are important in the pathogenesis of psoriasiform skin inflammation and express various S1P receptors. How they respond to S1P in skin inflammation remains unknown. We show that myeloid specific S1P receptor 1 (S1PR1) deletion enhances early inflammation in a mouse model of imiquimod-induced psoriasis, without altering the immune cell infiltrate. Mechanistically, myeloid S1PR1 deletion altered the formation of IL-1β, VEGF-A, and VEGF-C, and their receptors' expression in psoriatic skin, which subsequently lead to reciprocal regulation of neoangiogenesis and neolymphangiogenesis. Experimental findings were corroborated
