Sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1) plays a crucial role in regulating metabolic pathways within adipocytes and is elevated in the adipose tissue of obese mice. While previous studies have reported both pro- and inhibitory effects of SphK1 and its product, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), on adipogenesis, the precise mechanisms remain unclear. This study explores the timing and downstream effects of SphK1/S1P expression and activation during in vitro adipogenesis. We demonstrate that the synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone robustly induces SphK1 expression, suggesting its involvement in glucocorticoid-dependent signaling during adipogenesis. Notably, the activation of C/EBP{delta}, a key gene in early adipogenesis and a target of glucocorticoids, is diminished in SphK1-/- adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs). Furthermore, glucocorticoid administration promotes adipose tissue expansion via SphK1 in a depot-specific manner. Although adipose expansion still occurs in SphK1-/- mice, it is significantly reduced. These findings indicate that while SphK1 is not essential for adipogenesis, it enhances early gene activation, thereby facilitating adipose tissue expansion.
