Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The goals of this study were to identify the signaling pathway by which sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) activates RhoA in smooth muscle cells (SMC) and to evaluate the contribution of this pathway to the regulation of SMC phenotype. METHODS AND RESULTS: Using a combination of receptor-specific agonists and antagonists we identified S1P receptor 2 (S1PR2) as the major S1P receptor subtype that regulates...
