There is an unmet need for identification of new pathways (mediators) related to enhanced constriction of the asthmatic airways that would reveal new targets for therapy. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a naturally occurring bioactive lipid molecule that has been suggested to play an important role in asthma. Physiologically, S1P can be detected in human blood but local tissue concentrations (for example in the lung) are very low. Upon activation many cells can secrete S1P. Increased concentrations of S1P have been detected in airways of asthmatic subjects after allergen inhalation. When studied in animal models, S1P did not cause contraction of airways in healthy animals but contracted airways in animal with pulmonary inflammation. In laboratory experiments S1P has been shown to be a potent constrictor of cells responsible for contraction of human airways. As yet, however, we lack evidence that S1P actually causes constriction of airways in real life. Establishing S1P as a molecule capable of causing airway constriction in humans and perhaps specifically in asthmatics will have important implications for our understanding of physiological and pathophysiological responses in human airways and could open new windows for therapeutic strategies in diseases like asthma.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '65 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Cases (asthmatics) inclusion criteria\n\n1\\.
