title: Sphingosine 1-phosphate inhibits migration of RBL-2H3 cells via S1P2: cross-talk between platelets and mast cells.
abstract: To analyze the involvement in allergic reactions of platelets and sphingosine 1-phosphate (Sph-1-P), a lysophospholipid mediator released from activated platelets, the effects of Sph-1-P and a supernatant prepared from activated platelets on mast cell line RBL-2H3 were examined. Sph-1-P strongly inhibited the migration of both non-stimulated and fibronectin-stimulated RBL-2H3 cells, which was reversed by JTE-013, a specific antagonist of G protein-coupled Sph-1-P receptor S1P(2); S1P(2) was confirmed to be expressed in these cells. A similar anti-motility effect of Sph-1-P was observed in a phagokinetic assay. Consistent with these results, treatment of RBL-2H3 cells with Sph-1-P resulted in a rounded cell morphology, which was blocked by JTE-013. Under the present conditions, Sph-1-P failed to induce intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization or histamine degranulation, responses postulated to be elicited by intracellular Sph-1-P. Importantly, the Sph-1-P effect, i.e., the regulation of RBL-2H3 cell motility, was mimicked by the supernatant (both with and without boiling) prepared from activated platelets, and this effect of the supernatant was also blocked by JTE-013. Our results suggest that the motility of mast cells can be regulated by Sph-1-P and also platelets (which release Sph-1-P), via cell surface receptor S1P(2) (not through intracellular Sph-1-P actions, postulated previously in the same cells).
