Résumé
Hepatic fibrosis, a prevalent chronic liver condition, involves excessive extracellular matrix production associated with aberrant wound healing. Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) play a pivotal role in liver fibrosis, activated by inflammatory factors such as sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P). Despite S1P's involvement in fibrosis, its specific role and downstream pathway in HSCs remain controversial. In this study, we investigated the regulatory role of S1P/S1P receptor (S1PR) in Hippo-YAP activation in both LX-2 cell lines and primary HSCs. Real-time PCR, western blot, pharmacological inhibitors, siRNAs, and Rho activity assays were adopted to address the molecular mechanisms of S1P mediated YAP activation. Serum and exogenous S1P significantly increased the expression of YAP target genes in HSCs. Pharmacologic inhibitors and siRNA-mediated knockdowns of S1P receptors showed S1P receptor 2 (S1PR2) as the primary mediator for S1P-induced CTGF expression in HSCs. Results using siRNA-mediated knockdown, Verteporfin, and Phospho-Tag immunoblots showed that S1P-S1PR2 signaling effectively suppressed the Hippo kinases cascade, thereby activating YAP. Furthermore, S1P increased RhoA activities in cells and ROCK inhibitors effectively blocked CTGF induction. Cytoskeletal-perturbing reagents were shown to greatly modulate CTGF induction, suggesting the important role of actin cytoskeleton in S1P-induced YAP activation. Exogeneous S1P treatment was enough to increase the expression of COL1A1 and α-SMA, that were blocked by YAP specific inhibitor. Our data demonstrate that S1P/S1PR2-Src-RhoA-ROCK axis leads to Hippo-YAP activation, resulting in the up-regulation of CTGF, COL1A1 and α-SMA expression in HSCs. Therefore, S1PR2 may represent a potential therapeutic target for hepatic fibrosis.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Hepatic fibrosis, a prevalent chronic liver condition, involves excessive extracellular matrix production associated with aberrant wound healing. Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) play a pivotal role in liver fibrosis, activated by inflammatory factors such as sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P). Despite S1P's involvement in fibrosis, its specific role and downstream pathway in HSCs remain controversial.
METHODS
METHODS
In this study, we investigated the regulatory role of S1P/S1P receptor (S1PR) in Hippo-YAP activation in both LX-2 cell lines and primary HSCs. Real-time PCR, western blot, pharmacological inhibitors, siRNAs, and Rho activity assays were adopted to address the molecular mechanisms of S1P mediated YAP activation.
RESULTS
RESULTS
Serum and exogenous S1P significantly increased the expression of YAP target genes in HSCs. Pharmacologic inhibitors and siRNA-mediated knockdowns of S1P receptors showed S1P receptor 2 (S1PR2) as the primary mediator for S1P-induced CTGF expression in HSCs. Results using siRNA-mediated knockdown, Verteporfin, and Phospho-Tag immunoblots showed that S1P-S1PR2 signaling effectively suppressed the Hippo kinases cascade, thereby activating YAP. Furthermore, S1P increased RhoA activities in cells and ROCK inhibitors effectively blocked CTGF induction. Cytoskeletal-perturbing reagents were shown to greatly modulate CTGF induction, suggesting the important role of actin cytoskeleton in S1P-induced YAP activation. Exogeneous S1P treatment was enough to increase the expression of COL1A1 and α-SMA, that were blocked by YAP specific inhibitor.
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
Our data demonstrate that S1P/S1PR2-Src-RhoA-ROCK axis leads to Hippo-YAP activation, resulting in the up-regulation of CTGF, COL1A1 and α-SMA expression in HSCs. Therefore, S1PR2 may represent a potential therapeutic target for hepatic fibrosis.
