ABSTRACT
Objective RY-15, a specific agonist of Sphingosine 1-phosphate Receptor 3, was synthesized for investigating the function and mechanism of S1PR3 in bacterial clearance. Methods Measure the ability of RY-15 with FITC to enter the THP-1 cell after coculture for 5 min, 10 min, 20 min, 30 min through confocal microscopy. The function of GY-5 and RY-15 in bacterial clearance was observed by gentamicin protection test. The phosphorylation level of ERK and p-ERK in THP-1 cell was detected by Western Blot after GY-5 and RY-15 stimulation for different times. Results According to confocal microscopy, RY-15 started to enter the THP-1 cell after stimulating for 10 min and the effect of entering cell was very obvious after stimulating for 30 min. Compared to GY-5 group, live bacteria in the macrophage were largely decreased in the RY-15 group( P<0.05). Conmpared to GY-5 group, the p-ERK level raised largely at different poins. Conclusions RY-15, a specific agonist of Sphingosine 1-phosphate Receptor 3, can promote bacterial clearance through entering cell and the phosphorylation level of ERK is a possible mechanism.
