Abstract:
Previously, we found that exposure to a 50‐Hz magnetic field (MF) could induce human amniotic epithelial (FL) cell proliferation and sphingosine kinase 1 (SK1) activation, but the mechanism was not clearly understood. In the present study, the possible signaling pathways which were involved in SK1 activation induced by 50‐Hz MF exposure were investigated. Results showed that MF exposure increased intracellular Ca 2+ which was dependent on the L‐type calcium channel, and induced Ca 2+ ‐dependent phosphorylation of extracellular regulated protein kinase (ERK), SK1, and protein kinase C α (PKCα). Also, treatment with U0126, an inhibitor of ERK, could block MF‐induced SK1 phosphorylation, but had no effect on PKCα phosphorylation. Also, the inhibitor of PKCα, Gö6976, had no effect on MF‐induced SK1 activation in FL cells. In addition, the activation of ERK and PKCα could be abolished by SKI II, the inhibitor of SK1. In conclusion, the intracellular Ca 2+ mediated the 50‐Hz MF‐induced SK1 activation which enhanced PKCα phosphorylation, and there might be a feedback mechanism between SK1 and ERK activation in responding to MF exposure in FL cells.
