Controlling SPHK1 and SPHK2 activity for heart failure
Inhibiting and enhancing the activities of the sphingolipid synthesis-related isoenzymes SPHK1 and SPHK2, respectively, could enhance cardiac regeneration by reducing SPHK1-induced cardiac fibrosis and promoting SPHK2-mediated cardiomyocyte proliferation.
In neonatal mouse models of non-regenerative cardiac injury, systemic SPHK1 deletion improved cardiac performance and repair capacity compared with normal expression. ...
