Gene trap disruption of the Sgpl1 gene causes S1P lyase deficiency. A, sphingolipid metabolic pathway and linkage to triacylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine synthesis. B, appearance and life span of Sgpl1−/−, Sgpl1+/−, and Sgpl1+/+ mice. C, RT-qPCR of Sgpl1 mRNA using RNA of various tissues from Sgpl1−/− (gray bars) and Sgpl1+/+ (open bars) mice. Gapdh was used as a reference gene for normalization. SI, small intestine. Data represent mean values ± S.E. D, top panel: Western blot of S1P lyase protein in various tissues from Sgpl1−/− and Sgpl1+/+ mice. Bottom panel, same blot probed with antibody to β-actin as a loading control. E, S1P lyase enzyme activity in extracts of various tissues from Sgpl1−/− (gray bars) and Sgpl1+/+ (open bars) mice. Data represent mean values ± S.E. of representative results from three independent experiments.
