We reported recently that sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a novel regulator of aldosterone secretion in zona glomerulosa cells of adrenal glands, and that phospholipase D (PLD) is implicated in this process. We now show that S1P causes phosphorylation of protein kinase B (PKB) and extracellularly regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2), which is an indication of their activation, in these cells. These effects are probably mediated through interaction of S1P with the Gi protein-coupled receptors S1P1/3, as pre-treatment with pertussis toxin or with the S1P1/3 antagonist VPC 23019 completely abolished phosphorylation of these kinases. Inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) or mitogen-activated kinase kinase (MEK) blocked S1P-stimulated aldosterone secretion. This inhibition was only partial when the cells were incubated independently with inhibitors of each pathway. However, aldosterone output was completely blocked when the cells were pre-treated with LY294002 and PD98059, simultaneously. These inhibitors also blocked PLD activation, which indicates that this enzyme is downstream of PI3K and MEK in this system. We propose a working model for S1P in which stimulation of the PI3K/PKB and MEK/ERK pathways leads to stimulation of PLD and aldosterone secretion.
