PG - 104-16 AB - The prolonged treatment with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) of a human megakaryoblastic leukemia cell line, MEG-O1, induced increase of sphingosine kinase (SPHK) enzyme activity and SPHK1 protein expression as well as SPHK1 message. Protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor prevented the PMA-induced SPHK1 gene expression. To elucidate the regulatory mechanism of this gene expression, we examined the promoter area (distal to the first exon) and its binding proteins. Luciferase analyses showed that the area of 300 bp from the first exon was sufficient for PMA-responsiveness, and that specificity protein 1 (Sp1)- and two activator protein 2 (AP-2)-binding motifs within this area were necessary for responsiveness. Inhibitors for PKC and MEK1 decreased this PMA-induced promoter activity. Electrophoresis mobility shift assay (EMSA) showed that Sp1 protein was originally bound to the Sp1 site and that two additional bands bound to the two AP-2 motifs were observed only when stimulated with PMA in MEG-O1 cells. The appearance of these bands resulted from binding to an unknown protein rather than AP-2. These results indicated that PMA up-regulates SPHK1 gene expression through PMA-responsive elements of the 5' promoter area of the gene, and suggested that PMA-mediated SPHK1 gene expression would be mediated via PKC- and ERK-dependent signal transduction pathway by binding the transcription factor to AP-2 motifs.
