Sphingosine 1-phosphate (Sph-1-P) is considered to play a dual role in cellular signaling, acting intercellularly as well as intracellularly. In this study, we examined the role of Sph-1-P as a signaling molecule in human platelets, using DL-threo-dihydrosphingosine (DHS) and N,N-dimethylsphingosine (DMS), inhibitors of Sph kinase and protein kinase C. Both DMS and DL-threo-DHS were confirmed to be competitive inhibitors of Sph kinase obtained from platelet cytoplasmic fractions. In intact platelets labeled with [3H]Sph, stimulation with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate or thrombin did not affect [3H]-Sph-1-P formation. While both DMS and DL-threo-DHS inhibited not only [3H]Sph-1-P formation but also protein kinase C-dependent platelet aggregation, staurosporine, a potent protein kinase inhibitor, only inhibited the protein kinase C-dependent reaction. Hence, it is unlikely that Sph kinase activation and the resultant Sph-1-P formation are mediated by protein kinase C in platelets. Furthermore, Ca2+ mobilization induced by platelet agonists that act on G protein-coupled receptor was not affected by DMS or DL-threo-DHS. Our results suggest that Sph-1-P does not mediate intracellular signaling, including Ca2+ mobilization, in platelets.
