title: Sphingosine-1-phosphate effects on PKC isoform expression in human osteoblastic cells.
abstract: Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) has been shown to participate in the proliferative process in human osteoblasts.(1) The mitogenic effect of S1P has been postulated to involve two signaling pathways, the Gi linked protein receptor pathway and the PKC pathway. To define the possible role of PKC isoforms in osteoblastic cell proliferation, the effects of S1P on PKC isoform expression was determined. While PKC lambda was minimally detected, the isoforms alpha, delta and iota were all found to be highly expressed by the human osteoblast. In human osteoblastic cells, S1P induced a 25% increase in the expression of PKC alpha and approximately a 30% increase in the expression of PKC iota. S1P did not have an effect on PKC delta expression. Pretreatment with pertussis toxin (PT) led to an inhibition of the observed S1P effects on the expression of the alpha and iota isoforms.
