Inhibition of Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Receptor 2 by JTE013 Enhanced Alveolar Bone Regeneration by Promoting Angiogenesis

Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 2 (<i>S1PR2</i>) is a G protein-coupled receptor that regulates various immune responses. Herein, we report the effects of a <i>S1PR2</i> antagonist (JTE013) on bone regeneration. Murine bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) were treated with dime...

description Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 2 (<i>S1PR2</i>) is a G protein-coupled receptor that regulates various immune responses. Herein, we report the effects of a <i>S1PR2</i> antagonist (JTE013) on bone regeneration. Murine bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) were treated with dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) or JTE013 with or without infection by an oral bacterial pathogen <i>Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans</i>. Treatment with JTE013 enhanced vascular endothelial growth factor A (<i>VEGFA</i>), platelet derived growth factor subunit A (<i>PDGFA</i>), and growth differentiation factor 15 (<i>GDF15</i>) gene expression and increased transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ)/Smad and Akt signaling. Eight-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were challenged with ligatures around the left maxillary 2nd molar for 15 days to induce inflammatory bone loss. After ligature removal, mice were treated with diluted DMSO or JTE013 in the periodontal tissues 3 times per week for 3 weeks. Calcein was also injected twice to measure bone regeneration. Micro-CT scanning of maxillary bone tissues and calcein imaging revealed that treatment with JTE013 enhanced alveolar bone regeneration. JTE013 also increased <i>VEGFA</i>, <i>PDGFA</i>, osteocalcin, and osterix gene expressions in the periodontal tissues compared to control. Histological examination of periodontal tissues revealed that JTE013 promoted angiogenesis in the periodontal tissues compared to control. Our findings support that inhibition of <i>S1PR2</i> by JTE013 increased TGFβ/Smad and Akt signaling; enhanced <i>VEGFA</i>, <i>PDGFA</i>, and <i>GDF15</i> gene expression; and subsequently promoted angiogenesis and alveolar bone regeneration.
