Sphingosine kinase 1 (SK1) is a key regulator of the cellular balance between pro-apoptotic and pro-survival sphingolipids. Oncogenic signaling by SK1 relies on its localization to the plasma membrane, which is mediated by the calcium and integrin binding protein CIB1 via its Ca2+-myristoyl switch function. Here we show that another member of the CIB family, CIB2, plays a surprisingly opposite role to CIB1 in the regulation of SK1 signalling. CIB2 bound SK1 on the same site as CIB1, yet it lacks the Ca2+-myristoyl switch function. As a result, CIB2 blocked translocation of SK1 to the plasma membrane and inhibited its subsequent signaling, which included sensitization to TNFα-induced apoptosis and inhibition of Ras-induced neoplastic transformation. CIB2 was significantly down-regulated in ovarian cancer and low CIB2 expression was associated with poor prognosis in ovarian cancer patients. Notably, reintroduction of CIB2 in ovarian cancer cells blocked plasma membrane localization of endogenous SK1, reduces in vitro neoplastic growth and tumour growth in mice, and supressed cell motility and invasiveness both in vitro and in vivo. Consistent with the in vitro synergistic effects between the SK1 specific inhibitor SK1-I and standard chemotherapeutics, expression of CIB2 also sensitized ovarian cancer cells to carboplatin. Together, these findings identify CIB2 as a novel endogenous suppressor of SK1 signaling and potential prognostic marker and demonstrate the therapeutic potential of SK1 in this gynaecological malignancy.
