Sphingosine-1-phosphate (SIP), the product of sphingosine kinase, activates several widely expressed G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR). SIP might also play a role as second messenger, but this hypothesis has been challenged by recent findings. Here we demonstrate that intracellular SIP can mobilize Ca2+ in intact cells independently of S1P-GPCR. Within seconds, SIP generated by the photolysis of caged SIP raised the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration in HEK-293, SKNMC and HepG2 cells, in which the response to extracellularly applied SIP was either blocked or absent. Ca2+ transients induced by photolysis of caged SIP were caused by Ca2+ mobilization from thapsigargin-sensitive stores. These results provide direct evidence for a true intracellular action of SIP.
