Lipidomic analysis of plasma and cardiac tissue samples from animals treated with serelaxin. (A,B) S1P levels are significantly higher in cardiac tissue and plasma samples extracted from animals receiving chronic serelaxin treatment. No significant differences were observed in sphingosine (So), dihydrosphingosine (DHSo), and dihydro S1P (DHS1P) levels in either cardiac tissue or plasma samples with treatment. For (A,B) unpaired T-test was performed within data sets of the same type. (C) Analysis of plasma ceramides (treated vs. untreated) shows significantly higher levels of C24:0 (P = 0.000006), C24:1 (P = 0.000008), C16:0 (P = 0.000011), and C22:0 (P = 0.0023) ceramides in extracts from serelaxin treated mice; (D) Plasma ceramide 1-Phosphate (C1P) levels are significantly higher in serelaxin treated mice, achieving significance in C22:0 (P < 0.0013), C18:1 (P = 0.0099) and C18:0 (P = 0.014) C1P levels. For A and B, n = 6 for vehicle, and n = 9 for serelaxin treated mice. For (C,D) unpaired T-test was used for comparisons. (E,F) Plasma and cardiac levels of S1P were not significantly lower with daily, i.p. injections of PF543 dissolved in the amphiphilic solvent Kolliphor HS 15.
