Abstract

Abstract : The extracellular effects of S1P, a naturally occurring and platelet-derived bioactive lipid molecule, are mediated by S1P1-5 family of G protein-coupled receptors. The exact role of different S1P receptors and signaling pathways regulating S1P-induced cell motility is not completely defined. Human pulmonary artery endothelial cells (HPAEC) expressed S1P1, S1P3, and S1P4 receptors with a predominance of S1P1, as determined by RT PCR. Exposure of HPAEC to S1P resulted in a potent induction of cell motility as determined by a scratch wound healing assay and by monitoring changes in transendothelial electrical resistance of wounded HPAEC by ECIS. Inverse agonist of S1P1 receptor, SB649146, and S1P1 siRNA attenuated S1P-induced EC motility. Furthermore, overexpression of sphingosine kinase 1 wild type and S1P1 wild type increased intracellular content of S1P as well DHS1P (DHS1P > S1P) with a concomitant loss of cell motility in response to exogenous S1P. Overexpression of lipid phosphate phosphatase (LPP)1 wild type that enhanced hydrolysis of exogenous S1P blocked S1P-induced cell motility. These results suggest that a balance between S1P1 expression and intracellular content of S1P and DHS1P seems to be critical for maintaining cellular sensitivity to external S1P stimulation.
