    Figure 2. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and anaphylatoxin <t>C5a</t> concentrations in plasma and lung tissue. S1P concentrations in plasma (A) or lung tissue lysate (B) or C5a concentrations in plasma (C) or lung tissue lysates (D) from Sphk1+/+ or Sphk12/2 mice were determined before or after i.p. LPS challenge (0.5 mg/kg), using the LC-MS/MS (46) or ELISA techniques. Error bars represent s.d. *p,0.005, **p,0.001, by Student’s t-test. No significant differences in (B, C, D). n = 10 for each genotype and time point. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0030742.g002

    Figure 4. Anaphylatoxin C5a-mediated reduction in cytokine and chemokine production depends on Sphk1. BMDMs from Sphk1+/+ or Sphk12/2 mice were stimulated with LPS (500 ng/ml), with LPS concomitant with C5a (1 nM), or without C5a. Tissue culture supernatants were harvested 2 h (TNF-a) or 8 h (IL-6 and KC) after the addition of stimuli. (A) TNF-a; (B); IL-6; (C) KC. Error bars represent s.d. *p,0.05 by Student’s t-test; n = 5 for each genotype; representative for at least three independent experiments. (D) Reduced C5a-induced ERK1/2 and activation. BMDMs from Sphk1+/+ or Sphk12/2 mice were stimulated with C5a (10 nM), LPS (500 ng/ml), LPS and C5a, or saline for 5 min. Cell lysates were processed for immunoblotting with indicated antibodies. Representative of 3 independent experiments showing similar results. UD, undetected. (E) Model: Reduction of inflammatory cytokine production by phagocytes stimulated with C5a requires Sphk1. The model links Sphk1 activity to the cell surface expression of the anaphylatoxin receptor C5L2. LPS, C5a and inflammatory cytokines activate Sphk1 which is required to maintain S1P during inflammation. S1P regulates C5L2 cell surface expression on phagocytes. C5a, via C5L2 expressed on the cell surface, reduces neutrophil inflammation and inflammatory cytokine production by macrophages. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0030742.g004

    A Library size-normalized counts detected by RNA sequencing in mouse RPM and in M0-differentiated BMDM (3 mice each; only GPCRs with average count >15 displayed). B Gprc5b expression in RPM and lymph node-derived lymphocytes was determined by NanoString RNA analysis (cells pooled from two mice per data point). C Knockout efficiency in RPM from control mice (white) and M-G5b-KOs (gray) was analyzed by qRT-PCR (C, n = 4, data normalized to Gapdh and controls set to 1). D Knockout efficiency in RPM was analyzed by immunoblotting (unspecific band around 38 kDa; the higher of the two specific bands probably represents glycosylated GPRC5B ; GAPDH as loading control). E, F Expression of Nos2 (E) and Tnf (F) was determined in RPM by qRT-PCR under basal conditions and after 6 h of stimulation with 1 µg/ml LPS ( n = 11/12/12/12 in E, 12/10/11/12 in F), data normalized to Gapdh and control set to 1). G Basal and <t>C5a</t> (20 ng/ml)-induced transwell migration in RPM (all cells pretreated with LPS 1 µg/ml for 3 h to facilitate migration) ( n = 3). H The distance travelled by individual RPM in response to different chemotactic factors (C5a, 20 nM; CCL5, 10 ng/ml; fMLP, 10 nM) was determined by live cell imaging ( n = 512 cells from 2 mice per group; cells pretreated with LPS 1 µg/ml for 3 h to facilitate migration, arb. units: arbitrary units). Phagocytic activity of LPS (1 µg/ml, 6 h)-stimulated RPM was determined by uptake of pHrodo E. coli bioparticles ( I , J , n = 5) or pHrodo-labeled apoptotic thymocytes ( K , L n = 10); I + K show original traces, J + L statistical evaluation of areas under the curve (AUC). Body weight change ( M ) and bacterial colony-forming units in peritoneal lavage fluid harvested 24 h after injection of fecal bacteria ( N ) ( n = 10).
