| Popis: | Resveratrol is a naturally occurring polyphenol which has various beneficial effects, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-aging, antioxidant, and neuroprotective effects, among others. The anti-cancer activity of resveratrol has been related to alterations in sphingolipid metabolism. We analyzed the effect of resveratrol on the enzymes responsible for accumulation of the two sphingolipids with highest functional activity—apoptosis promoting ceramide (CER) and proliferation-stimulating sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P)—in human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells. Resveratrol treatment induced an increase in CER and sphingosine (SPH) and a decrease in sphingomyelin (SM) and S1P. Our results showed that the most common mode of CER accumulation, through sphingomyelinase-induced hydrolysis of SM, was not responsible for a CER increase despite the reduction in SM in A549 plasma membranes. However, both the activity and the expression of CER synthase 6 were upregulated in resveratrol-treated cells, implying that CER was accumulated as a result of stimulated de novo synthesis. Furthermore, the enzyme responsible for CER hydrolysis, alkaline ceramidase, was not altered, suggesting that it was not related to changes in the CER level. The enzyme maintaining the balance between apoptosis and proliferation, sphingosine kinase 1 (SK1), was downregulated, and its expression was reduced, resulting in a decrease in S1P levels in resveratrol-treated lung adenocarcinoma cells. In addition, incubation of resveratrol-treated A549 cells with the SK1 inhibitors DMS and fingolimod additionally downregulated SK1 without affecting its expression. The present studies provide information concerning the biochemical processes underlying the influence of resveratrol on sphingolipid metabolism in A549 lung cancer cells and reveal possibilities for combined use of polyphenols with specific anti-proliferative agents that could serve as the basis for the development of complex therapeutic strategies. |
