Abstract

Our data demonstrate that E2-induced EGFR transactivation is mediated by Edg-3 via activation of the SphK/S1P pathway. This indicates that a given GPCR ligand (i.e., S1P) dependent transactivation of EGFR can be activated by another independent ligand (i.e., estrogen), suggesting a new model of signal transactivation between three individual ligand-receptor systems.( Cancer Research, April 2006 Volume 66, Issue 8 Supplement, Abstract 2935).
