Recent studies with phorbol esters have suggested that protein kinase C (PKC) may play a role in the regulation of adenylate cyclase in mammalian cells. Since D-sphingosine has been reported to specifically inhibit PKC in many cell types, we evaluated its effects on stimulation of cyclic AMP accumulation by adrenaline in S49 lymphoma cells. We found sphingosine to have multiple non-specific effects which could not be explained by an inhibition of PKC. These effects included: (i) inhibition by sphingosine (50 microM) of adrenaline-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation and sphingosine permeation of the cells which rendered them leaky to ATP; (iii) sphingosine (20 microMs) augmentation of adrenaline-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation; (iii) inhibition by sphingosine of adrenaline-stimulated adenylate cyclase in isolated membranes by up to 95%; and (iv) sphingosine (20 microM) inhibition of cellular mechanisms for the elimination of cyclic AMP. These results demonstrate the importance of evaluating the non-specific effects of sphingosine before concluding that its actions are the consequences of a specific inhibition of PKC.
