Calcium entry is one of the main regulators of intracellular signaling. Here, we have described the importance of sphingosine, sphingosine kinase 1 (SK1), and sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) in regulating calcium entry in thyroid FRTL-5 cells. In cells incubated with the phosphatase inhibitor calyculin A, which evokes calcium entry without mobilizing sequestered intracellular calcium, sphingosine inhibited calcium entry in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, inhibiting SK1 or the ATP-binding cassette ABCC1 multidrug transporter attenuated calcium entry. The addition of exogenous S1P restored calcium entry. Neither sphingosine nor inhibition of SK1 attenuated thapsigargin-evoked calcium entry. Blocking S1P receptor 2 or phospholipase C attenuated calcium entry, whereas blocking S1P receptor 3 did not. Overexpression of wild-type SK1, but not SK2, enhanced calyculin-evoked calcium entry compared with mock-transfected cells, whereas calcium entry was decreased in cells transfected with the dominant-negative G82D SK1 mutant. Exogenous S1P restored calcium entry in G82D cells. Our results suggest that the calcium entry pathway is blocked by sphingosine and that activation of SK1 and the production of S1P, through an autocrine mechanism, facilitate calcium entry through activation of S1P receptor 2. This is a novel mechanism by which the sphingosine-S1P rheostat regulates cellular calcium homeostasis.
