SPHK1 mediates the roles of CRFR1 on mast cell activation. (A and B) qRT-PCR and western blotting confirmed the upregulation of SPHK1 in the PDAC mice model. (C) Schematic of the experimental design. PF543, a selective SPHK1 antagonist, or vehicle was administered intraperitoneally to PDAC-bearing mice or mast cell–deficient (C-Kit W-sh ) mice. n = 5 mice per group. (D and E) Von Frey testing and hunching scores demonstrated alleviated cancer-associated abdominal pain after PF543 treatment or mast cell knockout, whereas the analgesic effect of PF543 was abrogated in mast cell deficient mice. (F and G) Inhibition of SPHK1 reduced mRNA and protein expression levels of TPSAB1, IL-4, TNF-α, and CCL2. (H) ELISA showed decreased secretion of mast cell degranulation factors after PF543 treatment, an effect blocked by mast cell knockout.

Figure Lengend Snippet: CRFR1 promotes the activation of mast cell and enhances abdominal pain sensitivity. (A) qRT-PCR verified that CRF (1 μM) significantly upregulated mast cell activation markers, including TPSAB1, IL-4, TNF-α, and CCL2. (B) Western blotting confirmed the increased protein expression of TPSAB1 after CRF stimulation. (C) ELISA assays demonstrated elevated levels of secreted TPS, His, IL-4, TNF-α, and CCL2 in the supernatant of CRF-treated cells. (D) Administration of ANT (a CRFR1 antagonist) significantly reduced abdominal withdrawal response frequency in PDAC mice. (E and F) qRT-PCR and western blotting revealed reduced expression of TPSAB1, IL-4, TNF-α, and CCL2 after ANT treatment. (G) ELISA results further confirmed the suppression of TPS, His, IL-4, TNF-α, and CCL2 secretion in the ANT-treated group. n = 5 mice per group. Data with error bars represented as mean ± SD and analyzed using 2-tailed Student t test. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001.

SPHK1 mediates the roles of CRFR1 on mast cell activation. (A and B) qRT-PCR and western blotting confirmed the upregulation of SPHK1 in the PDAC mice model. (C) Schematic of the experimental design. PF543, a selective SPHK1 antagonist, or vehicle was administered intraperitoneally to PDAC-bearing mice or mast cell–deficient (C-Kit W-sh ) mice. n = 5 mice per group. (D and E) Von Frey testing and hunching scores demonstrated alleviated cancer-associated abdominal pain after PF543 treatment or mast cell knockout, whereas the analgesic effect of PF543 was abrogated in mast cell deficient mice. (F and G) Inhibition of SPHK1 reduced mRNA and protein expression levels of TPSAB1, IL-4, TNF-α, and CCL2. (H) ELISA showed decreased secretion of mast cell degranulation factors after PF543 treatment, an effect blocked by mast cell knockout. (I and J) SiRNA-1 exhibited the highest knockdown efficiency of SPHK1 at both mRNA and protein levels. (K–M) Knockdown of SPHK1 attenuated CRF-induced expression of mast cell degranulation markers. Data with error bars represented as mean ± SD and analyzed using Student t test (A), 2-way ANOVA (D, E, G, H, K, M), and 1-way ANOVA (I). * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001.
