Role of Adenosine Kinase in Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Receptor 1-Induced Mechano-Hypersensitivities.

ABSTRACT: Emerging evidence implicates the sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor subtype 1 (S1PR1) in the development of neuropathic pain. Continued investigation of the signaling pathways downstream of S1PR1 are needed to support development of S1PR1 antagonists. In rodents, intrathecal (i.th.) injection of SEW2871, a selective S1PR1 agonist, activates the nod-like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 3 inflammasome, increases interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and causes behavioral hypersensitivity. I.th. injection of a IL-1β receptor antagonist blocks SEW2871-induced hypersensitivity, suggesting that IL-1β contributes to S1PR1's actions. Interestingly, previous studies have suggested that IL-1β increases the expression/activity of adenosine kinase (ADK), a key regulator of adenosine signaling at its receptors
