Sphingosine Kinase 1 Regulates Inflammation and Contributes to Acute Lung Injury in Pneumococcal Pneumonia via the Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Receptor 2

Conclusions: Our data suggest that targeting the sphingosine kinase 1–/sphingosine-1-phosphate–/sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 2–signaling pathway in the lung may provide a novel therapeutic perspective in pneumococcal pneumonia for prevention of acute lung injury.
