Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: Cecal ligation and puncture or intratracheal instillation of Escherichia coli was induced in wild-type or S1pr2-deficient mice. The antibacterial ability of cell-specific S1PR2 was tested in bone marrow reconstitution mice or mice with macrophage-specific deletion. Signaling molecules responsible for S1PR2-mediated phagocytosis were also measured in the bone marrow-derived macrophages. In addition, S1PR2 expression levels and its correlation with severity of sepsis were determined in critically ill patients (n = 25). RESULTS: Both genetic deletion and pharmaceutical inhibition of S1PR2 significantly limited bacterial burden, reduced lung damage, and improved survival (genetic deletion, 0% in S1pr2 vs. 78.6% in S1pr2, P < 0.001; pharmaceutical inhibition, 9.1% in vehicle vs. 22.2% in S1PR2 antagonist, P < 0.05). This protection was attributed to the enhanced phagocytic function of S1PR2-deficient macrophages (mean fluorescent intensity, 2035.2 ± 202.1 vs. 407.8 ± 71.6, P < 0.001). Absence of S1PR2 in macrophage inhibits RhoA-dependent cell contraction and promotes IQGAP1-Rac1-dependent lamellipodial protrusion, whose signaling pathways depend on extracellular stimulators. In septic patients, increased S1PR2 levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells were positively correlated with the severity of sepsis (r = 0.845, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: This study implies that S1PR2, as a critical receptor in macrophage, impairs phagocytosis and antimicrobial defense in the pathogenesis of sepsis. Interventions targeting S1PR2 signaling may serve as promising therapeutic approaches for sepsis.
