Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), a metabolite of sphingomyelin degradation, stimulates interleukin-8 (IL-8) secretion in human bronchial epithelial (Beas-2B) cells. The molecular mechanisms regulating S1P-mediated IL-8 secretion are yet to be completely defined. Here we provide evidence that activation of phospholipases D1 and D2 (PLD1 and PLD2) by S1P regulates the phosphorylation of extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and IL-8 secretion in Beas-2B cells. S1P, in a time- and dose-dependent manner, enhanced the threonine/tyrosine phosphorylation of ERK. The inhibition of S1P-induced ERK phosphorylation by pertussis toxin and PD 98059 indicated coupling of S1P receptors to Gi and the ERK signalling cascade respectively. Treatment of Beas-2B cells with butan-1-ol, but not butan-3-ol, abrogated the S1P-induced phosphorylation of Raf-1 and ERK, suggesting that PLD is involved in this activation. The roles of PLD1 and PLD2 in ERK activation and IL-8 secretion activated by S1P were investigated by infecting cells with adenoviral constructs of wild-type and catalytically inactive mutants of PLD1 and PLD2. Infection of Beas-2B cells with the wild-type constructs resulted in the activation of PLD1 and PLD2 by S1P and PMA. Also, the enhanced production of [32P]phosphatidic acid and [32P]phosphatidylbutanol in the presence of butan-1-ol and the increased phosphorylation of ERK by S1P were blocked by the catalytically inactive mutants hPLD1-K898R and mPLD2-K758R. Transient transfection of Beas-2B cells with human PLD1 and mouse PLD2 cDNAs potentiated S1P-mediated IL-8 secretion compared with vector controls. In addition, PD 98059 attenuated IL-8 secretion induced by S1P in a dose-dependent fashion. These results demonstrate that both PLD1 and PLD2 participate in S1P stimulation of ERK phosphorylation and IL-8 secretion in bronchial epithelial cells.
