Apoptotic cells may up-regulate SphK1 to produce and secrete S1P that serves as a "come-and-get-me" signal for scavenger cells

Sphingosine 1-phosphate induces chemotaxis of immature and modulates cytokine-release in mature human dendritic cells for emergence of Th2 immune responses.
Immature and mature DC express the mRNA
for different S1P receptors, such as endothelial differentiation gene (EDG)-1, EDG-3, EDG-5, and
EDG-6. In immature DC, S1P stimulated pertussis toxin-sensitive Ca2+ increase actin polymerization and chemotaxis. These responses were lost by DC matured with
lipopolysaccharide. In maturing DC, however, S1P inhibited the secretion of tumor necrosis
factor ?? and interleukin (IL)-12, whereas it enhanced secretion of IL-10. As a consequence,
mature DC exposed to S1P showed a reduced and increased capacity to generate allogeneic Th1
and Th2 responses, respectively. In summary, our study implicates that S1P might regulate the
trafficking of DC and ultimately favor Th2 lymphocyte-dominated immunity.
