“However, S1P also modulates endothelial cell exocytosis by activating endothelial nitric oxide synthase production of nitric oxide , which inhibits exocytosis.”
“ S1P inhibited NO production at concentrations higher than 0.1 μM; this was associated with the inhibition of iNOS protein and mRNA expression.”
“Thus, S1P inhibits IL-1β induction of NO production and iNOS expression in rat VSMCs through multiple mechanisms involving both PTX-sensitive and -insensitive G proteins coupled to S1P receptors.”
“ S1P at higher than 0.1 microM inhibited the NO production induced by IL-1 beta in a concentration-dependent manner, in which S1P at 10 microM caused over 90% inhibition.”
“These results suggest that S1P modulates IL-1 beta induction of NO production by rat VSMCs through multiple mechanisms, partially via Edg-3 and Edg-5 receptor subtypes coupled to PTX-sensitive G proteins.”
