SphK1 is an enzyme that converts sphingosine to bioactive sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P). Recent in vitro data suggest a potential role of SphK1 in TNFα mediated inflammation. Our aims in this study were to determine the in vivo significance of SphK1 in TNFα mediated chronic inflammation and to define which pathogenic mechanisms induced by TNFα are SphK1 dependent. To pursue these aims, we studied the effect of SphK1 deficiency in an in vivo model of TNFα induced chronic inflammatory arthritis. Transgenic hTNFα mice, that develop spontaneous inflammatory erosive arthritis beginning at 14-16 weeks, were crossed with SphK1 null mice (SphK1-/-), on the C57BL6 genetic background. Beginning at 4 months of age, hTNF/SphK1-/- mice had significantly less severe clinically evident paw swelling and deformity, less synovial and periarticular inflammation and markedly decreased bone erosions as measured quantititatively through micro-CT images. Mechanistically, the mice lacking SphK1 had less articular COX-2 protein and fewer synovial Th17 cells than hTNF/SphK1+/+ littermates. Microarray analysis and real-time RT-PCR of the ankle synovial tissue demonstrated that hTNF/SphK1-/- mice had increased transcript levels of SOCS3 compared to hTNF/SphK1+/+ mice, likely also contributing to the decreased inflammation in the SphK1 deficient mice. Finally, significantly fewer mature osteoclasts were detected in the ankle joints of hTNF/SphK1-/- mice compared to hTNF/SphK1+/+ mice. These data indicate that SphK1 plays a key role in hTNFα induced inflammatory arthritis via impacting synovial inflammation and osteoclast number.
