Sphingosine-1-Phosphate-derived 2-Hexadecenal is a central mediator of ocular neovascularization by inhibiting Sphingosine-1-Phosphate receptor 5

Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a crucial sphingolipid mediator in vasculature and neovascular eye diseases by controlling angiogenesis, inflammation and fibrosis. Five S1P receptors (S1PRs) are key therapeutic targets, with several S1PR-targeted drugs already in clinical use or trials. However, th...

Description
Résumé:Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a crucial sphingolipid mediator in vasculature and neovascular eye diseases by controlling angiogenesis, inflammation and fibrosis. Five S1P receptors (S1PRs) are key therapeutic targets, with several S1PR-targeted drugs already in clinical use or trials. However, the vascular function of its major metabolic product, the reactive lipid aldehyde 2-hexadecenal (2-HD), remains unexplored. Here, we show that loss of the aldehyde dehydrogenase ALDH3B1 impairs 2-HD detoxification and leads to retinal vascular abnormalities in zebrafish, without affecting the trunk vasculature. Mechanistically, multi-omics analyses reveal that 2-HD accumulation disrupts iron homeostasis and induces ferroptosis by directly interacting with S1PR5. This finding is supported by integrative analyses of single-cell RNA sequencing and RNA sequencing from human neovascular retinal samples, identifying S1PR5 as a clinically relevant target. These findings uncover a previously unrecognized role of S1P derived 2-HD in vasculature and retinal vascular homeostasis, suggesting that targeting S1PR5 could offer a therapeutic strategy for diabetic retinopathy.
