Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate how Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) signaling regulates glial phenotype, neuroprotection, and reprogramming Müller glia (MG) into neurogenic MG-derived progenitor cells (MGPCs) in the adult mouse retina. We found that S1P-related genes were dynamically regulated following retinal damage. S1pr1 (encoding S1P receptor 1) Sphk1 sphingosine kinase are expressed at low levels by resting MG rapidly upregulated acute Overexpression bHLH transcription factor Ascl1 downregulates , inhibition S1pr1/3 enhances Ascl1-driven differentiation bipolar-like suppresses differentiation. Treatments activate or increase initiate pro-inflammatory NFκB-signaling MG, whereas treatments inhibit decreased suppress damaged retinas. Conditional knock-out increases expression but decreases S1pr3 .
