title: Sphingosine-1-phosphate inhibits haptotactic motility by overproduction of focal adhesion sites in B16 melanoma cells through EDG-induced activation of Rho.
abstract: We investigated the molecular mechanism by which Sph-1-P affects the FN-dependent haptotactic motility of serum-starved mouse melanoma B16/F10 cells. We found that EDG-5-induced Rho activation followed by enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation of FAK and paxillin, and beta 1-integrin activation leading to overexpression of focal adhesion sites, as well as increment of stress fiber formation, must be the molecular basis of inhibition of haptotactic cell motility by Sph-1-P.
