Abstract：
:Fumonisin B1 induces cytotoxicity in sensitive cells by inhibiting ceramide synthase due to its structural similarity to the long-chain backbones of sphingolipids. The resulting accumulation of sphingoid bases has been established as a mechanism for fumonisin B1 cytotoxicity. We found that despite the accumulation of sphinganine, human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) cells are resistant to fumonisin B1 toxicity; 25 microM fumonisin B1 exposure for 48 h did not increase apoptosis in these cells, while it did so in sensitive porcine kidney epithelial (LLC-PK1) cells. In this study, DL-threo-dihydrosphingosine, the sphingosine kinase inhibitor (SKI), considerably increased the sensitivity of HEK-293 cells to fumonisin B1. Treatment of these cells with 25 microM fumonisin B1 and 2.5 microM SKI increased apoptosis. Sphingoid bases, sphinganine or sphingosine, added to cell cultures induced apoptosis by themselves and their effects were potentiated by SKI or fumonisin B1. Addition of physiological amounts of sphingosine-1-phosphate prevented the toxic effects induced by SKI inhibition and fumonisin B1. Results indicated that HEK-293 cells are resistant to fumonisin B1 due to rapid formation of sphingosine-1-phosphate that imparts survival properties. Taken together, these findings suggest that sphingoid base metabolism by sphingosine kinase may be a critical event in rendering the HEK-293 cells relatively resistant to fumonisin B1-induced apoptosis.
