Exposure of 3T3/A31 cells to serum-free medium, one type of apoptotic stimulus, causes a rapid increase in the sphingosine (Sph) level, which initiates a series of processes: (i) activation of caspase 3 through an enhanced cascade of caspases, (it) release of the C-terminal-half kinase domain of PKCdelta (PKCdelta KD) by caspase 3, and (iii) activation of Sph-dependent kinase 1 (SDK1), which was previously identified as PKCdelta KID. The activation of caspase 3 and release of PKCdelta KID are inhibited strongly by the incubation of cells with the ceramidase inhibitor D-erythro-2-tetradecanoylamino-lphenyl-1-propanol and, to a much lesser extent, by L-cycloserine, an inhibitor of de novo ceramide synthesis. Exogenous addition of Sph or N,N-dimethyl-Sph to U937 cells causes caspase 3 activation and release of PKCdelta KID (SDK1), leading to apoptosis. The Sph-induced apoptotic process associated with activation of caspase 3 and release of PKCdelta KID (SDK1) may promote the proapoptotic effect of BAD or BAX through an increase of phosphorylated 14-3-3. In addition, Sph induces apoptosis through a separate process: the blocking of survival signal through the Akt kinase pathway induced by alpha3beta1-mediated cell adhesion to laminin 10/11 in extracellular matrix. We hereby propose a unified concept of Sph-dependent apoptosis based on these multiple mechanisms operating in concert.
