It is well established that chronic glucocorticoid exposure causes hyperglycemia. While glucocorticoid receptor (GR) stimulates hepatic gluconeogenic gene transcription, additional mechanisms are activated by chronic glucocorticoid exposure to enhance gluconeogenesis. We found that chronic glucocorticoid treatment activated sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P)-mediated signaling. Hepatic knockdown of hepatic S1P receptor 1 (S1PR1) had no effect on chronic glucocorticoid-induced glucose intolerance but elevated fasting plasma insulin levels. In contrast, hepatic S1PR3 knockdown exacerbated chronic glucocorticoid-induced glucose intolerance without affecting fasting plasma insulin levels. Finally, hepatic S1PR2 knockdown attenuated chronic glucocorticoid-induced glucose intolerance and reduced fasting plasma insulin levels. Here, we focused on dissecting the role of S1PR2 signaling in chronic glucocorticoid response on glucose homeostasis. We found that chronic glucocorticoid-induced hepatic gluconeogenesis, gluconeogenic gene expression, and GR recruitment to the glucocorticoid response elements (GREs) of gluconeogenic genes were all reduced in hepatic S1PR2 knockdown male mice. Hepatic S1PR2 knockdown also enhanced glucocorticoid suppression of RAR-related orphan receptor γ (RORγ) expression. Hepatic RORγ overexpression in hepatic S1PR2 knockdown mice restored glucocorticoid-induced glucose intolerance, gluconeogenic gene expression, and GR recruitment to their GREs. Conversely, RORγ antagonist and the reduction of hepatic RORγ expression attenuated such glucocorticoid effects. Thus, chronic glucocorticoid exposure induces an S1PR2-RORγ axis to cooperate with GR to enhance hepatic gluconeogenesis. Overall, this work provides novel mechanisms of and pharmaceutical targets against steroid-induced hyperglycemia.
