Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a crucial sphingolipid mediator in vasculature and neovascular eye diseases by controlling angiogenesis, inflammation and fibrosis. Five S1P receptors (S1PRs) are key therapeutic targets, with several S1PR-targeted drugs already in clinical use or trials. However, the vascular function of its major metabolic product, the reactive lipid aldehyde 2-hexadecenal (2-HD), remains unexplored. Here, we show that loss of the aldehyde dehydrogenase ALDH3B1 impairs 2-HD detoxification and leads to retinal vascular abnormalities in zebrafish, without affecting the trunk vasculature. Mechanistically, multi-omics analyses reveal that 2-HD accumulation disrupts iron homeostasis and induces ferroptosis by directly interacting with S1PR5. This finding is supported by integrative analyses of single-cell RNA sequencing and RNA sequencing from human neovascular retinal samples, identifying S1PR5 as a clinically relevant target. These findings uncover a previously unrecognized role of S1P derived 2-HD in vasculature and retinal vascular homeostasis, suggesting that targeting S1PR5 could offer a therapeutic strategy for diabetic retinopathy.© 2026.

鞘氨醇-1-磷酸 (S1P) 是一种重要的鞘脂介质,通过调控血管生成、炎症和纤维化,在血管系统和新生血管性眼病中发挥关键作用。五种 S1P 受体 (S1PR) 是重要的治疗靶点,目前已有多种靶向 S1PR 的药物投入临床应用或正在进行临床试验。然而,其主要代谢产物——活性脂质醛 2-十六碳烯醛 (2-HD) 的血管功能仍未被充分研究。本研究表明,醛脱氢酶 ALDH3B1 的缺失会损害 2-HD 的解毒作用,导致斑马鱼视网膜血管异常,但并不影响躯干血管。机制研究表明,多组学分析揭示,2-HD 的积累会破坏铁稳态,并通过与 S1PR5 直接相互作用诱导铁死亡。这一发现得到了单细胞RNA测序和人视网膜新生血管样本RNA测序的整合分析的支持,并将S1PR5确定为一个具有临床意义的靶点。这些发现揭示了S1P衍生的2-HD在血管系统和视网膜血管稳态中先前未被认识的作用,提示靶向S1PR5可能为糖尿病视网膜病变提供一种治疗策略。© 2026. 作者。
