| Research Abstract |
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a biologically active lipid that has an important role in regulating the growth, survival and migration of a variety of cells; however their roles in the brain remain to be elucidated. Transient Receptor Potential Canonical (TRPC) channels, Ca^<2+>-permeable nonselective cation channels, are expressed in astrocytes and involved in Ca^<2+>influx after G-coupled receptor stimulation. In the present study, we demonstrate that S1P-induced Ca^<2+>responses and resultant CXCL1 release can be attributed to TRPC-mediated extracellular Ca^<2+>entry in culturedastrocytes. Further investigations are required to identify the mechanisms of S1P-evoked astrocyte activation
