Sphingosine kinase 1 is up-regulated in colon carcinogenesis
Abstract
Sphingosine kinase 1 (SK1) phosphorylates sphingosine to form sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), which has the ability to promote cell proliferation and survival and stimulate angiogenesis. The SK1/S1P pathway also plays a critical role in regulation of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), a well-established pathogenic factor in colon carcinogenesis. Therefore, we examined the expression of SK1 and COX-2 in rat colon tumors induced by azoxymethane (AOM) and the relationship of these two proteins in normal and malignant intestinal epithelial cells. Strongly positive SK1 staining was found in 21/28 (75%) of rat colon adenocarcinomas induced by AOM, whereas no positive SK1 staining was observed in normal mucosa. The increase in SK1 and COX-2 expression in AOM-induced rat colon adenocarcinoma was confirmed at the level of mRNA by real-time RT-PCR. In addition, it was found that 1) down-regulation of SK1 in HT-29 human colon cancer cells by small interfering RNA (siRNA) decreases COX-2 expression and PGE2 production; 2) overexpression of SK1 in RIE-1 rat intestinal epithelial cells induces COX-2 expression; and 3) S1P stimulates COX-2 expression and PGE2 production in HT-29 cells. These results suggest that the SK1/S1P pathway may play an important role in colon carcinogenesis, in part, by regulating COX-2 expression and PGE2 production.
