Abstract
The effect of sphingosine (SPH) on the adhesive properties of Lewis lung carcinoma (3LL) cells was investigated using plastic precoated with the extracellular matrix proteins, laminin, fibronectin, or type IV collagen. Treatment of 3LL cells with SPH (0.5–10 μM) resulted in a dose-dependent decrease in the ability to bind to laminin and type IV collagen but had little or no effect on atachment to fibronectin. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) selectively enhanced attachment of 3LL cells to laminin and collagen. The inhibitory effect of SPH on attachment to both proteins was competitively antagonized by PMA. These results suggest that SPH acts as a negative effector for cell attachment to laminin and collagen, and that the cell attachment process to both proteins might be regulated in part by protein kinase CKeywords
