From the Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a
platelet-derived sphingolipid that elicits diverse biological
responses, including angiogenesis, via the activation of G
protein-coupled EDG receptors. S1P activates the endothelial
isoform of nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS), associated with eNOS
phosphorylation at Ser-1179, a site phosphorylated by protein kinase
Akt. We explored the proximal signaling pathways that mediate Akt
activation and eNOS regulation by S1P/EDG receptors. Akt is regulated
by the lipid kinase phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3-K). We found that
bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEC) express both This work is dedicated to the memory of Professor Eva J. Neer, whose

isoforms of PI3-K, while lacking the
isoform. S1P treatment led to
the rapid and isoform-specific activation of PI3-K
in BAEC. PI3-K
can be regulated by G protein 
subunits (G
). The
overexpression of a peptide inhibitor of G
attenuated S1P-induced
eNOS enzyme activation, as well as S1P-induced phosphorylation of eNOS
and Akt. In contrast, bradykinin, a classical eNOS agonist, neither
activated any PI3-K isoform nor induced eNOS phosphorylation at
Ser-1179, despite activating eNOS in BAEC. Vascular endothelial growth
factor activated both PI3-K
and PI3-K
via tyrosine kinase pathways and promoted eNOS phosphorylation that was unaffected by
G
inhibition. These findings indicate that PI3-K
(regulated by
G
) may represent a novel molecular locus for eNOS activation by
EDG receptors in vascular endothelial cells. These studies also
indicate that different eNOS agonists activate distinct signaling pathways that diverge proximally following receptor activation but
converge distally to activate eNOS.
