Adult skeletal muscle is able to repeatedly regenerate because of the presence of satellite cells, a population of stem cells resident beneath the basal lamina that surrounds each myofiber. Little is known, however, of the signaling pathways involved in the activation of satellite cells from quiescence to proliferation, a crucial step in muscle regeneration. We show that sphingosine-1-phosphate induces satellite cells to enter the cell cycle. Indeed, inhibiting the sphingolipid-signaling cascade that generates sphingosine-1-phosphate significantly reduces the number of satellite cells able to proliferate in response to mitogen stimulation in vitro and perturbs muscle regeneration in vivo. In addition, metabolism of sphingomyelin located in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane is probably the main source of sphingosine-1-phosphate used to mediate the mitogenic signal. Together, our observations show that sphingolipid signaling is involved in the induction of proliferation in an adult stem cell and a key component of muscle regeneration.

What controls the crucial transition of satellite cells from quiescence to proliferation remains largely unknown. Various stimuli released from crushed myofibers, invading macrophages, and connective tissue have been proposed to trigger satellite cell activation (for review see Chargé and Rudnicki, 2004). One of these signals is hepatocyte growth factor (HGF; Tatsumi et al., 1998), and members of the FGF family have also been proposed to recruit satellite cells to division (Bischoff, 1986; Yablonka-Reuveni et al., 1999). Because the receptors for both HGF (c-met) and FGF are members of the tyrosine kinase family of receptors, attention has been directed toward classical kinase-mediated signaling in control of satellite cell activation (Yablonka-Reuveni et al., 1999; Shefer et al., 2001; Jones et al., 2005) and proliferation in myogenic cells (Jones et al., 2001; Tortorella et al., 2001).
Over the last few years, the importance of sphingolipid signaling has begun to be understood (for review see Spiegel and Milstien, 2003). Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and homologous phosphorylated long-chain sphingoids act in diverse organisms such as mammals, worms, flies, slime mold, yeast, and plants. In mammals, S1P is mitogenic for several cell types, including fibroblasts and endothelial cells (Zhang et al., 1991; Olivera and Spiegel, 1993; Olivera et al., 1999). In addition to this role in cell division and survival, S1P is involved in processes such as calcium homeostasis and cell migration during angiogenesis and cardiac development, as well as in the adult immune system (for review see Spiegel and Milstien, 2003). In contrast, other sphingolipids such as ceramide and sphingosine are associated with cell growth arrest, stress responses, and apoptosis (for review see Hannun and Obeid, 2002).
Recent studies have revealed that sphingolipids are also active in muscle. Defects in muscle development and integrity in Drosophila melanogaster are observed when the level of S1P is perturbed by targeted deletion of S1P lyase, an enzyme responsible for the irreversible degradation of S1P (Herr et al., 2003). Sphingosine can also affect muscle contraction by modulating the function of certain calcium channels (for review see Sabbadini et al., 1999), whereas ceramide has an inhibitory effect on insulin-like growth factor I–induced protein synthesis in mouse myogenic C2C12 cells (Strle et al., 2004). S1P affects Ca2+ homeostasis and cytoskeletal rearrangement (Formigli et al., 2002) in C2 cells and stimulates differentiation in this cell line (Donati et al., 2005).
Sphingomyelin is a precursor of ceramide, sphingosine, and S1P, which are all components of the same metabolic pathway (Fig. 1 ). Sphingomyelin is one of the major lipid components of cell membranes in animals, with significant amounts in the plasma membrane (for review see van Meer and Holthuis, 2000). Although the location of sphingomyelin used to generate signaling molecules such as S1P is unclear, the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane has been suggested as a source (Kent et al., 1974; Linardic and Hannun, 1994; Andrieu et al., 1996; Zhang et al., 1997).

Myogenic reserve cells can be stimulated to divide by S1P
Proliferating C2C12 cells were switched to DME containing 1% horse serum for 5 d, after which few cells incorporated BrdU (0.9 ± 1.4%; Fig. 2 a
). To first determine whether lipid signaling was involved in reserve cell activation, 10 µM S1P was added to differentiation medium on day 5 for 24 h, which resulted in an approximately sevenfold increase in the number of reserve cells entering the cell cycle (Fig. 2 a). The use of defined medium has previously been used to analyze satellite cell activation (Yablonka-Reuveni and Rivera, 1994). To deplete lipids in the culture medium, FCS was incubated with charcoal (Lee et al., 1998). Incubation with the charcoal-stripped FCS (CFCS) resulted in an increase of 
10-fold in BrdU incorporation, but addition of 2–10 µM S1P further increased the number of cells synthesizing DNA, in a dose-dependent manner (Fig. 2 a). When cycling C2C12 cells were switched to differentiation medium, the level of BrdU incorporation dropped significantly, and the presence of 1–10 µM S1P made no difference (Fig. 2 b). The ability of these cells to differentiate in response to serum withdrawal was similarly unaffected by S1P (Fig. 2 c), consistent with a recent study (Donati et al., 2005). Therefore, S1P is important for entry of myogenic cells into the cell cycle but does not maintain division or prevent differentiation in the absence of other mitogens. In contrast, lysophosphatidic acid did not induce reserve cells to proliferate (unpublished data), but this lipid did perpetuate cell division (Fig. 2 b) and inhibit differentiation (Fig. 2 c) when serum was withdrawn (Yoshida et al., 1996).
|
50% failed to enter the cell cycle in the presence of 10 µM DMS (Fig. 3 a
). Importantly, addition of 10 µM S1P counteracted the inhibitory effect of the highest concentration of DMS (Fig. 3 a), demonstrating that the reduction in the number of cells incorporating BrdU arose specifically from the block on S1P generation and that restoration of S1P levels was sufficient to stimulate division.
|
Synthesis of ceramide by the de novo pathway was not a major source of S1P because the ceramide synthase inhibitor fumonisin B1 (FB1; Merrill et al., 1996) had no effect on the number of reserve cells induced to incorporate BrdU in response to CFCS exposure (Fig. 3 c). Moreover, when reserve cells were exposed to both FB1 and GW4869 before CFCS stimulation, the proportion of reserve cells induced to synthesize DNA was reduced to the same level as with GW4869 alone (unpublished data). This indicates that S1P synthesis from sphingomyelin, not prevention of S1P degradation to ceramide, was the predominant pathway responsible for induction of cell division. Collectively, these results demonstrate that reserve cell activation requires the cleavage of sphingomyelin to ultimately produce S1P, which mediates the mitogenic signal.
Separate visualization of sphingomyelin in the outer and inner leaflet of the plasma membrane
Sphingomyelin is predominantly distributed at the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane (Koval and Pagano, 1991), but a distinct signaling pool has been postulated to be located in the inner leaflet (Linardic and Hannun, 1994; Andrieu et al., 1996; Zhang et al., 1997). Because the recently cloned N-SMase2 locates to the plasma membrane (Hofmann et al., 2000; Karakashian et al., 2004), it is possible that most stimulus-induced sphingomyelin degradation is processed at this site.
To directly investigate the dynamics of sphingomyelin levels in individual reserve cells, we used the sphingomyelin-specific binding protein lysenin as a cytochemical marker (Sekizawa et al., 1997; Yamaji et al., 1998; Kobayashi et al., 2004) in combination with selective sphingomyelin digestion by bacterial sphingomyelinase (bSMase; Fig. 4 a ). As we showed previously (Nagata et al., 2006), when reserve cells are fixed/permeabilized with 4% PFA (Sugii et al., 2003), incubated with 0.2 or 10 µg/ml lysenin, and immunostained using lysenin-specific antisera, the surface of most reserve cells is strongly labeled, revealing high levels of sphingomyelin in the plasma membrane (Fig. 4 b). Complete loss of such lysenin immunostaining after incubation of fixed/permeabilized cells in 100 mU/ml bSMase confirms that binding of lysenin to sphingomyelin is specific (Fig. 4 c). However, when live reserve cells were incubated for 2 h in bSMase, to prevent the enzyme from entering the cells, subsequent fixation/permeabilization before probing with lysenin revealed that sphingomyelin had been protected in the inner leaflet under the entire cell surface (Fig. 4 d). Such inner leaflet staining required 10 µg/ml lysenin, though, suggesting that there was a lower concentration of sphingomyelin in the inner leaflet than in the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane. In this way, the combination of digestion of specific sphingomyelin pools and probing with lysenin permits us to visualize, for the first time, two distinct pools of sphingomyelin in reserve cells, one located in the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane on the cell surface and a second on the inside of the cell in the inner leaflet (Fig. 4, a–d).
|
Detection of changes of sphingomyelin content of the inner leaflet, however, would be masked by the stable amounts in the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane, which we were able to eliminate by incubation of live reserve cells with bSMase for 2 h before stimulation with CFCS. Such removal of sphingomyelin solely from the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane did not prevent cell cycle entry, as these cells incorporated BrdU as efficiently as untreated cells (unpublished data). After 10 min of CFCS stimulation, however, a marked drop was found in the proportion of cells with high inner leaflet sphingomyelin levels, which largely recovered by 30 min (Fig. 4, h–k). This transient decrease in sphingomyelin in the inner leaflet during activation (Fig. 4, h–k) was prevented by the addition of GW4869 (Fig. 4 l). This shows that the fall in sphingomyelin levels at the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane in response to CFCS stimulation is caused by the cleavage of sphingomyelin by N-SMase. Because GW4869 significantly reduces the number of cells entering the cell cycle after stimulation (Fig. 3 b), this shows that sphingomyelin in the inner leaflet is a major source of mitogenic S1P.
Entry of satellite cells into the cell cycle requires sphingolipid signaling
Having established that S1P signaling plays a role in the induction of proliferation in C2 reserve cells, we next investigated the relevance of this pathway in primary satellite cells. Viable myofibers can be isolated from muscle, complete with their retinue of quiescent satellite cells (Rosenblatt et al., 1995). If these myofibers are not exposed to mitogens and are maintained in basal medium (e.g., DME/BSA), then the vast majority of satellite cells do not enter the cell cycle. When these myofibers are cultured in mitogen-rich medium, however, their associated satellite cells proliferate and then differentiate, modeling the early events of muscle regeneration (Yablonka-Reuveni and Rivera, 1994; Beauchamp et al., 2000; Zammit et al., 2004).
To determine whether exposure to S1P can directly elicit proliferation in satellite cells, myofibers were cultured in either DME/BSA (Fig. 5, a–c) or DME/BSA/1 µM S1P (Fig. 5, d–f ) plus BrdU for 48 h. Coimmunostaining for Pax7 (Seale et al., 2000) and BrdU (Fig. 5, d–f) or proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and MyoD (Fig. 5, g–j) showed that S1P significantly increased the number of satellite cells entering the cell cycle.

50% (Fig. 5 k).
To examine whether the ultimate source of S1P was sphingomyelin, we again applied GW4869 to suspensions of isolated myofibers and associated satellite cells stimulated with serum/chick embryo extract. Specific inhibition of N-SMase with GW4869 (Luberto et al., 2002) again reduced the number of dividing PCNA-positive cells by 50% (Fig. 5 k), confirming that entry into cell cycle is mediated by S1P generated from sphingomyelin.
Inhibition of sphingolipid signaling perturbs muscle regeneration
Having established that sphingolipid signaling is involved in the induction of proliferation in satellite cells in vitro, we tested whether muscle regeneration in vivo was affected by inhibition of this pathway. Muscle damage was induced by injection of cardiotoxin into both tibialis anterior (TA) muscles of adult mice, and DMS was administered to the right TA to inhibit sphingosine kinase and, thus, S1P production, with the left serving as a control. 7 d later, the muscles were removed, cryosectioned, and either stained with hematoxylin and eosin or immunostained for embryonic myosin heavy chain (eMyHC). Control muscles contained numerous nascent myotubes identified by central nucleation and expression of eMyHC (Fig. 6, a and c
). In contrast, muscles forced to regenerate in the presence of DMS to inhibit S1P production showed poor repair with fewer myotubes (Fig. 6, b and d). Quantification of the area of muscle occupied by regenerating myofibers showed that the presence of the sphingosine kinase inhibitor significantly reduced the amount of regenerated muscle (Fig. 6 e).

S1P can function in two ways: either as an agonist for specific cell surface receptors or as a second messenger. S1P was shown to be a ligand for the EDG-1 (S1P1) receptor (Lee et al., 1998) and is now recognized as an agonist for five (S1P1 through S1P5) G-protein–coupled cell surface receptors. S1P1 through S1P5 are coupled to different G-proteins and so the relative abundance of specific receptors and G-proteins allows S1P to have heterogeneous effects. The C2 myogenic cell line was originally derived from regenerating adult muscle (Yaffe and Saxel, 1977) and has been shown to express S1P1 through S1P3 (Meacci et al., 1999). S1P, acting through S1P2, induces a small decrease in the number of cells proliferating in response to serum and stimulates the appearance of proteins associated with differentiation (Donati et al., 2005). Our results are consistent with those of Donati et al. (2005) where they overlap because, in our hands, S1P did not prevent differentiation in cycling C2C12 cells, but we did not determine whether it actively promoted it. Although the S1P receptors present on satellite cells are presently unknown, analysis has shown that S1P3 mRNA is present in quiescent satellite cells, but the levels are dramatically lower in dividing cells (Montarras, D., and Buckingham, M., personal communication). Intriguingly, overexpression of S1P3 in cycling C2C12 cells suppresses markers of myogenic differentiation elicited by S1P (Donati et al., 2005).
S1P has also been implicated as a second messenger for cell growth and survival independently of its receptors (Olivera and Spiegel 1993; Van Brocklyn et al., 1998; Olivera et al., 2003). For example, it has recently been shown that VEGF binding to VEGF receptor 2 stimulates endothelial cell growth through protein kinase C, which leads to the activation of sphingosine kinase 1 and the generation of S1P. The extracellular signal–regulated kinase (ERK)–MAPK pathway is then activated by S1P, resulting in cell division (Shu et al., 2002). Because HGF also binds a tyrosine kinase type receptor, it is possible that the activation of sphingosine kinase 1 and subsequent production of S1P may also stimulate ERK–MAPK, already shown to be involved in satellite cell activation (Yablonka-Reuveni et al., 1999; Shefer et al., 2001; Jones et al., 2005). In addition to HGF (Tatsumi et al., 1998), TNF-
has recently been proposed to be able to activate satellite cells, as systemically delivered TNF- enhances BrdU incorporation into skeletal muscles, presumably by the intermediary of satellite cells (Li, 2003). Although TNF- can work through serum response factor, it also activates sphingolipid signaling in various cell types and induces sphingomyelin cleavage (Levade and Jaffrezou, 1999; Spiegel and Milstien, 2003). Therefore, lipid signaling may act as a second messenger or via receptor-mediated pathways, or a combination of the two, in induction of satellite cell proliferation.
In contrast to the mitogenic effects of S1P, ceramide is associated with cell growth arrest, stress responses, and apoptosis in several cell types (for review see Hannun and Obeid, 2002). In muscle, ceramide has been shown to suppress the hypertrophic effects of insulin-like growth factor I (Strle et al., 2004) as well as that of insulin in C2C12 cells (Schmitz-Peiffer et al., 1999). As it has been proposed that the relative levels of these interconvertible metabolites can determine cell fate (Spiegel and Milstien, 2003), it is possible that S1P and ceramide also exert contrary effects in satellite cells. Higher ceramide levels may be involved in the maintenance of satellite cell quiescence, whereas increasing S1P levels would act to overcome this block, inducing activation and subsequent proliferation.
Although both DMS and GW4869 effectively reduce the mitogenic effect of serum, neither of them was able to totally prevent the activation of all myogenic cells. There is increasing evidence that satellite cells may represent a heterogeneous population (Beauchamp et al., 2000), so it is possible that they have different requirements for sphingolipid signaling. Another possible explanation is that the pharmacological inhibitors do not completely block the target enzyme, which would have a significant influence when the ratio of S1P to ceramide, rather than their absolute amounts, is proposed to be the crucial factor in the cellular response (Spiegel and Milstien, 2003). It is also probable that there are other pathways that control satellite cells in addition to S1P-mediated signaling (Shefer et al., 2001; Jones et al., 2005) and that signal redundancy and cross talk between pathways may reduce the effects of specifically inhibiting a particular signaling route.
Sphingolipid metabolites can be generated from two main sources: de novo synthesis of ceramide or cleavage of sphingomyelin. The site of the subcellular pool of sphingomyelin that is used for signaling, however, is unclear. Although sphingomyelin is mostly located at the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane (Koval and Pagano, 1991), several lines of evidence suggest that there is a distinct pool of signaling sphingomyelin in the inner leaflet, which acts as a reservoir for generating sphingolipids (Linardic and Hannun, 1994; Andrieu et al., 1996; Zhang et al., 1997). In particular, labeling sphingomyelin in various compartments with 3H before stimulation and determining the location and amount of labeled metabolites (Andrieu et al., 1996) or using subcellular fractionation to locate membranes depleted of sphingomyelin (Linardic and Hannun, 1994) both indicate the inner leaflet as the source. The enzyme mainly responsible for N-SMase activity outside the CNS, sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 2 (Stoffel et al. 2005), is primarily located in the plasma membrane (Karakashian et al. 2004). Furthermore, N-SMase activity predominantly occurs in the plasma membrane fraction, and receptor-coupled sphingomyelin degradation has been shown to mostly occur at this site (Levade and Jaffrezou, 1999).
The novel technique that we have used, combining probing with the sphingomyelin binding protein lysenin (for review see Kobayashi et al., 2004) with selective sphingomyelin digestion, permits separate microscopic visualization of the dynamics of sphingomyelin in either the outer or inner leaflets on an individual cell basis. Using this method, we show that the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane contains a pool of sphingomyelin that can be recruited for signaling during induction of myogenic cell proliferation. This reduction in sphingomyelin levels in the inner leaflet in response to CFCS stimulation was caused by N-SMase catalyzed cleavage, as the N-SMase inhibitor GW4869 (Luberto et al., 2002) both prevented the transient drop in sphingomyelin and drastically reduced the number of cells entering the cell cycle. These observations strongly indicate that the inner leaflet is the source of the mitogenic S1P, consistent with and extending previous studies (Linardic and Hannun, 1994; Andrieu et al., 1996; Zhang et al., 1997).
In conclusion, we demonstrate that sphingolipid signaling plays a central role in adult stem cell biology. Upon stimulation, sphingomyelin in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane is cleaved by N-SMase, and subsequent metabolism results in an increased level of S1P, which acts as a mitogen for muscle satellite cells. As would be predicted from these observations, inhibition of S1P generation perturbs muscle regeneration. Indeed, a recently described mutation in choline kinase ß gene, central to phospholipid biosynthesis, results in a rapidly progressive muscular dystrophy (Sher et al., 2006). Coordinated control of satellite cell function is crucial to the regenerative responsiveness of muscle both during aging (Conboy et al., 2005) and in hereditary myopathies. Lipid signaling potentially offers new targets for therapeutic intervention that could augment/restore satellite cell function and may well be involved in the control of related stem cell systems.

Single-fiber isolation and culture
Adult (>8 wk of age) C57Bl/6 or C57B16/DBA2 mice were killed by cervical dislocation before the extensor digitorum longus muscles were carefully removed. Myofibers were isolated in DME as described previously (Rosenblatt et al., 1995) and cultured in either DME/BSA or DME with 10% [vol/vol] horse serum and 0.5% [vol/vol] CEE [MP Biomedicals]) at 37°C in 5% CO2. Drug treatments were performed in the same way as for C2C12 cells, except that BrdU was added to the medium from the beginning of culture.
Visualization of sphingomyelin using lysenin
Cells were treated with 100 mU/ml bSMase from Bacillus cereus (Sigma-Aldrich) for 2 h at 37°C in 5% CO2 either before or after fixation with 4% PFA. When GW4869 was used, the cells were washed in DME after bSMase treatment. Fixed cells were blocked with 0.5% BSA in PBS and incubated with 0.2–10 µg/ml lysenin (provided by S. Kawashima and N. Ohta, Zenyaku Kogyo, Tokyo, Japan; Peptide Institute, Inc.) in 0.5% BSA in PBS for 1 h. Lysenin was then visualized with an anti-lysenin antibody (Peptide Institute, Inc.).
Muscle regeneration
To elicit muscle damage, both TA muscles were injected with 20 µl of the snake venom cardiotoxin (Sigma-Aldrich) together with India ink to mark the injection site. The right TA also received DMS (1 µmol/kg of body weight) dissolved in DMSO, whereas the left served as a control, receiving only DMSO. 7 d later, both muscles were removed and cryosectioned, and separate sections were analyzed by hematoxylin and eosin staining or immunostaining for eMyHC. The area occupied by regenerating myofibers was then determined by using Scion Image (Scion Corp.) from several such experiments, and the data were pooled and expressed as a percentage ± SEM of the total area assayed.
Immunostaining
For BrdU detection, fixed C2C12 cells or myofibers were permeabilized with 0.5% (vol/vol) Triton X-100 and treated with 3 N hydrochloric acid for 10 min at room temperature. For immunostaining for PCNA, myofibers were treated with 100% methanol. Frozen sections were fixed with 10% formalin/PBS for 30 min at room temperature and then autoclaved for 10 min in 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer, pH 9.0. After these treatments, samples were incubated for 2 h at room temperature with primary antibodies in 0.5% BSA/PBS, followed by fluorochrome (Alexafluor 488 with Alexafluor 594 or TRITC)–conjugated secondary antibodies (Invitrogen) before mounting in Fluoromount fluorescent mounting medium (DakoCytomation) containing 100 ng/ml DAPI. Primary antibodies used were monoclonal rat anti-BrdU (clone BU1/75; Abcam), monoclonal mouse anti-PCNA (clone PC10; DakoCytomation), monoclonal Pax7 (Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank), monoclonal eMyHC (clone F1.652; American Type Culture Collection), monoclonal MyoD (clone 5.8A; DakoCytomation), polyclonal rabbit anti-lysenin (Peptide Institute, Inc.), and polyclonal MyoD (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.).
Image capture
Immunostained cells and myofibers were viewed on an epifluorescence microscope (model Axiophot; Carl Zeiss MicroImaging, Inc.) using 10x/0.30 Ph1-, 20x/0.50 Ph2-, and 40x/0.75 Ph2-PlanNeofluar lenses. Digital images were acquired with a charge-coupled device camera (model RTE/CCD-1300-Y; Princeton Instruments, Inc.) at –10°C using MetaMorph software version 4.5r5 (Universal Imaging Corp.). Images were optimized globally for contrast and brightness and assembled into figures using Photoshop 7.0.1 (Adobe).
