Sphingosine 1-Phosphate Regulates Heat Shock Protein 27 Induction by a p38 MAP Kinase-Dependent Mechanism in Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells

In an aortic smooth muscle cell line, A10 cells, we investigated the effect of sphingosine 1-phosphate on the induction of heat shock protein 27 (HSP27), a low-molecular-weight heat shock protein. Sphingosine 1-phosphate significantly induced the accumulation of HSP27 in a pertussis toxin-sensitive manner. The effect was dose-dependent in the range between 0.1 and 30 microM. Sphingosine 1-phosphate stimulated an increase in the levels of mRNA for HSP27. Sphingosine 1-phosphate stimulated both p42/p44 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase and p38 MAP kinase activation. PD98059, an inhibitor of the upstream kinase that activates p42/p44 MAP kinase, did not affect sphingosine 1-phosphate-stimulated HSP27 induction. In contrast, SB203580, an inhibitor of p38 MAP kinase, reduced sphingosine 1-phosphate-induced HSP27 induction. SB203580 reduced the levels of mRNA for HSP27 induced by sphingosine 1-phosphate. These results indicate that sphingosine 1-phosphate stimulates the induction of HSP27 via p38 MAP kinase activation in aortic smooth muscle cells.     

Sphingosine 1-phosphate induces Mcl-1 upregulation and protects multiple myeloma cells against apoptosis

Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive lysophospholipid which is known to induce diverse cellular responses through at least five G-protein-coupled receptors on various cell types. However, neither the distribution of S1P receptors nor the effects of S1P on multiple myeloma (MM) cells are fully understood. Here, we show that MM cells express the S1P receptors, S1P1, S1P2, and S1P3. Furthermore, S1P protects MM cells against Dex-induced apoptosis. Importantly, S1P upregulates Mcl-1 expression in a time- and concentration-dependent manner in human MM cell lines. Treatment of MM cells with pertussis toxin (PTX), a pan-S1P receptor inhibitor, results in blockage of S1P-induced upregulation of Mcl-1. These data demonstrate that S1P upregulates the expression of Mcl-1 and protects MM cells from Dex-induced apoptosis, providing the preclinical framework for novel therapeutics targeting at both Mcl-1 and/or S1P to improve the patient outcome in MM.

Convergent Regulation of Neuronal Differentiation and Erk and Akt Kinases in Human Neural Progenitor Cells by Lysophosphatidic Acid,Sphingosine 1-Phosphate,and LIF: Specific Roles for the LPA1 Receptor

The bioactive lysophospholipids lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) have diverse effects on the developing nervous system and neural progenitors, but the molecular basis for their pleiotropic effects is poorly understood. We previously defined LPA and S1P signaling in proliferating human neural progenitor (hNP) cells, and the current study investigates their role in neuronal differentiation of these cells. Differentiation in the presence of LPA or S1P significantly enhanced cell survival and decreased expression of neuronal markers. Further, the LPA receptor antagonist Ki16425 fully blocked the effects of LPA, and differentiation in the presence of Ki16425 dramatically enhanced neurite length. LPA and S1P robustly activated Erk, but surprisingly both strongly suppressed Akt activation. Ki16425 and pertussis toxin blocked LPA activation of Erk but not LPA inhibition of Akt, suggesting distinct receptor and G-protein subtypes mediate these effects. Finally, we explored cross talk between lysophospholipid signaling and the cytokine leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF). LPA/S1P effects on neuronal differentiation were amplified in the presence of LIF. Similarly, the ability of LPA/S1P to regulate Erk and Akt was impacted by the presence of LIF; LIF enhanced the inhibitory effect of LPA/S1P on Akt phosphorylation, while LIF blunted the activation of Erk by LPA/S1P. Taken together, our results suggest that LPA and S1P enhance survival and inhibit neuronal differentiation of hNP cells, and LPA1 is critical for the effect of LPA. The pleiotropic effects of LPA may reflect differences in receptor subtype expression or cross talk with LIF receptor signaling.
