We examined expression of sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptors and sphingosine kinase (SPK) in gastric smooth muscle cells and characterized signaling pathways mediating S1P-induced 20-kDa myosin light chain (MLC₂₀) phosphorylation and contraction. RT-PCR demonstrated expression of SPK1 and SPK2 and S1P₁ and S1P₂ receptors. S1P activated G_q, G₁₃, and all G_i isoforms and stimulated PLC-1, PLC-3, and Rho kinase activities. PLC- activity was partially inhibited by pertussis toxin (PTX), G or G_q antibody, PLC-1 or PLC-3 antibody, and by expression of G_q or G_i minigene, and was abolished by a combination of antibodies or minigenes. S1P-stimulated Rho kinase activity was partially inhibited by expression of G₁₃ or G_q minigene and abolished by expression of both. S1P stimulated Ca²⁺ release that was inhibited by U-73122 and heparin and induced concentration-dependent contraction of smooth muscle cells (EC₅₀ 1 nM). Initial contraction and MLC₂₀ phosphorylation were abolished by U-73122 and MLC kinase (MLCK) inhibitor ML-9. Initial contraction was also partially inhibited by PTX and G_q or G antibody and abolished by a combination of both antibodies. In contrast, sustained contraction and MLC₂₀ phosphorylation were partially inhibited by a PKC or Rho kinase inhibitor (bisindolylmaleimide and Y-27632) and abolished by a combination of both inhibitors but not affected by U-73122 or ML-9. These results indicate that S1P induces 1) initial contraction mediated by S1P₂ and S1P₁ involving concurrent activation of PLC-1 and PLC-3 via G_q and G_i, respectively, resulting in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-dependent Ca²⁺ release and MLCK-mediated MLC₂₀ phosphorylation, and 2) sustained contraction exclusively mediated by S1P₂ involving activation of RhoA via G_q and G₁₃, resulting in Rho kinase- and PKC-dependent MLC₂₀ phosphorylation.
