ABSTRACT
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is emerging as a new class of second messenger involved in cellular proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis and is implicated in diverse physiological functions. Despite many studies on the biological functions of S1P, however, little is known about its role in neuronal differentiation. By use of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and immunostaining, this study aimed to explore whether S1P can differentiate neuroblastoma cells into neural cells. After incubation with 1 uM or 10 uM S1P, the number of neurite-bearing cells increased. Furthermore, the neuroblastoma cells revealed immunoreactivity for neural-specific markers such as GAP43, NFH, and SYP by immunostaining. The expression of NFH, MAP2, SYP, NeuroD1, and SYT mRNA, which is specific for neurons, was increased as shown by RT-PCR studies. The results of this study suggest that that S1P can induce neuronal differentiation and may be a good candidate for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
