Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) partly accounts for antiatherogenic properties of high-density lipoproteins. We previously demonstrated that FTY720, a synthetic S1P analog targeting all S1P receptors but S1P receptor type 2, inhibits murine atherosclerosis. Here, we addressed the identity of S1P receptor mediating atheroprotective effects of S1P.
