Potential of sphingosine-1-phosphate in preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection by stabilizing and protecting endothelial cells
Abstract. Coronavirus disease 2019, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has spread worldwide, resulting in over 250 million infections and >5 million deaths. Most antiviral drugs and vaccines have shown limited efficacy against SARS-CoV-2. Clinical data reveale...

| description | Abstract. Coronavirus disease 2019, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has spread worldwide, resulting in over 250 million infections and >5 million deaths. Most antiviral drugs and vaccines have shown limited efficacy against SARS-CoV-2. Clinical data revealed that except for the large number of self-healing mild cases, moderate and severe cases mostly survived after supportive treatment but not specific drug administration or vaccination. The endothelial system is the first physiological barrier, and its structural stability is of critical importance in conferring disease resistance. Membrane lipid components, particularly sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), play a central role in stabilizing the cell membrane.
Here, we used “Boolean Operators” such as AND, OR, and NOT, to search for relevant research articles in PubMed, then reviewed the potential of S1P in inhibiting SARS-CoV-2 infection by stabilizing the endothelial system, this is the major aim of this review work.
Reportedly, vasculitis and systemic inflammatory vascular diseases are caused by endothelial damage resulting from SARS-CoV-2 infection. S1P, S1P receptor (SIPR), and signaling were involved in the process of SARS-CoV-2 infection, and S1P potentially regulated the function of EC barrier, in turn, inhibited the SARS-CoV-2 to infect the endothelial cells, and ultimately has the promising therapeutic value to coronavirus disease 2019.
Taken together, we conclude that maintaining or administering a high level of S1P will preserve the integrity of the EC structure and function, in turn, lowering the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and reducing complications and mortality. |
