Microglia cells are versatile players coordinating inflammatory and regenerative processes in the central nervous system in which sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P)-mediated migration is essential. We investigated the involved signaling cascade by means of voltage clamp, measurement of ATP secretion, and wound healing assay in murine microglial BV-2 cells. S1P and extracellular hypoosmolar solution evoked an anion conductance of the cell membrane. The corresponding ion currents were inhibited by intracellular hypoosmolar solution and by the anion channel antagonists NPPB, tamoxifen, and carbenoxolone, pointing to the activation of volume-regulated anion channels (VRAC). The knockdown by siRNA indicates the involvement of
LRRC8A
subunits. The S1PR1-antagonist W123 and
pertussis
-toxin prevented the S1P-induced currents, showing the involvement of the G
i
-protein-coupled S1P receptor 1 (S1PR1). Furthermore, S1P and hypoosmolar extracellular solution induced an increase of ATP levels in the supernatants of BV-2 cells, which was inhibited by NPPB, tamoxifen, and W123. S1P, ATP, and ADP stimulated cell migration into the scratch area. The inhibition of S1PR1 and the downstream G
i
proteins hampered cell migration. Antagonists of VRAC were also able to diminish the migration of BV-2 cells. Furthermore, direct inhibition of ATP-gated P2X4 or P2X7 receptors or ADP-stimulated P2Y12 receptors blocked the stimulating effects of S1P on BV-2 cell migration. We conclude that there is an interaction between S1P receptors and purinergic receptors mediated by an S1P-induced ATP release via VRAC and that the amount of released ATP is capable of stimulating cell migration of BV-2 microglia cells via activation of P2X4, P2X7, and P2Y12 receptors.
