Resumen: Sphingosine kinase functions to phosphorylate sphingosine to sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) to keep balance in the metabolites of sphingolipids. There are two isoforms of sphingosine kinase, sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1) and sphingosine kinase 2 (SphK2). Although SphK1 and SphK2 share high sequence similarity, SphK2 has distinct distribution, regulation and function. SphK2 is involved in the pathological processes of varieties of diseases including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, stroke, cardiovascular diseases and inflammation. SphK2 may promote the proliferation of cancer cells and the progression of inflammation. The SphK2/S1P pathway is also involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders and stroke. S1P produced by SphK2 in the nucleus binds to HDACs, which then inhibits histone acetylation and regulates memory. The SphK2 pathway mediates platelet aggregation, thrombosis, cardioprotection and helps to ameliorate hepatic steatosis. This review focuses on the recent advances in research on SphK2 regulation and its potential roles in diseases, highlighting SphK2 may be a novel therapeutic strategy for diseases.
