Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor-1 specific agonist SEW2871 ameliorates ANIT-induced dysregulation of bile acid homeostasis in mice plasma and liver. Toxicol Lett 2020; 331:242-253.

Abstract
Dysregulated bile acid (BA) homeostasis is an extremely significant pathological phenomenon of intrahepatic cholestasis, and the accumulated BA could further trigger hepatocyte injury. Here, we showed that the expression of sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1) was down-regulated by α-naphthylisothiocyanate (ANIT) in vivo and in vitro. The up-regulated S1PR1 induced by SEW2871 (a specific agonist of S1PR1) could improve ANIT-induced deficiency of hepatocyte tight junctions (TJs), cholestatic liver injury and the disrupted BA homeostasis in mice. BA metabolic profiles showed that SEW2871 not only reversed the disruption of plasma BA homeostasis, but also alleviated BA accumulation in the liver of ANIT-treated mice. Further quantitative analysis of 19 BAs showed that ANIT increased almost all BAs in mice plasma and liver, all of which were restored by SEW2871. Our data demonstrated that the top performing BAs were taurine conjugated bile acids (T-), especially taurocholic acid (TCA). Molecular mechanism studies indicated that BA transporters, synthetase, and BAs nuclear receptors (NRs) might be the important factors that maintained BA homeostasis by SEW2871 in ANIT-induced cholestasis. In conclusion, these results demonstrated that S1PR1 selective agonists might be the novel and potential effective agents for the treatment of intrahepatic cholestasis by recovering dysregulated BA homeostasis.

Abstract
Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive lipid mediator associated with diverse homeostatic and signaling roles. Enhanced biosynthesis of S1P, mediated by the sphingosine kinase isozymes (SK1 and SK2), is implicated in several pathophysiological conditions and diseases, including skeletal muscle fibrosis, inflammation, multiple sclerosis, and cancer. Therefore, therapeutic approaches that control S1P production have focused on the development of SK1/2 inhibitors. In this framework, we designed a series of natural monosaccharide-based compounds to enhance anchoring of the known SK1 inhibitor PF-543 at the polar head of the J-shaped substrate-binding channel. Herein, we describe the structure-based design and synthesis of new glycan-containing PF-543 analogues and we demonstrate their efficiency in a TGFβ1-induced pro-fibrotic assay.
