Abstract
Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are transactivated by the stimulation of G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs). Sphingosine 1‐phosphate (S1P), a ligand of GPCR, is known as a tumor‐promoting lipid, but its signaling pathways are not fully understood. We here demonstrated that S1P induces rapid and transient tyrosine phosphorylation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and c‐Met in gastric cancer cells, both of which have been proposed as prognostic markers of gastric cancers. The pathway of S1P‐induced c‐Met transactivation is Gi‐independent and matrix metalloproteinase‐independent, which differs from that of EGFR transactivation. Our results indicate that S1P acts upstream of various RTKs and thus may act as a potent stimulator of gastric cancer.Keywords
