Abstrakt: Sphingosine 1‐phosphate (S1P) induces phospholipase C (PLC) activation and Ca2+mobilization in many types of cells. We examined the possible involvement of Edg‐3, one of the putative S1P receptors, in the phospholipase C (PLC)‐Ca2+system. S1P increased the cytoplasmic free Ca2+concentration without detectable inositol phosphate production in vector‐transfected CHO cells. In the Edg‐3‐transfected cells, however, the S1P‐induced Ca2+response was clearly enhanced, which was associated with a significant production of inositol phosphate. These S1P‐induced responses in the Edg‐3‐transfected cells were inhibited by U73122, a potent PLC inhibitor. We conclude that Edg‐3 may be one of the S1P receptors participating in the activation of the PLC‐Ca2+system.
