Abstract
deficiency aggravated the OVA/LPS-induced pulmonary inflammation in mice along with a significant up-regulation in M1 macrophage activation. Mechanistic studies showed that S1PR4 was strongly connected to bioactive oxylipins concurrent with bounding to formyl peptide receptor 2 to influence the phosphorylation of JNK and contributed to the macrophage M1 program, which in turn secreted amounts of inflammatory cytokines associated to the inflammatory response of neutrophilic asthma. Furthermore, treating mice with S1PR4 agonist CYM50308 was characterized by less pulmonary inflammatory infiltration. Our research indicates S1PR4 a promising therapeutic target for non-eosinophilic phenotypes of asthma.
