Oleanolic acid (OA), a widely used plant-derived triterpenoid, has been shown to possess potent antiatherosclerotic effects, which may be associated with the induction of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). However, the underlying mechanisms involved in the effect of OA on HO-1 expression are unclear. In the c

## Abstract Sphingosine 1‐phosphate (S1P) has been shown to regulate expression of several genes in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and contributes to arteriosclerosis. However, the mechanisms regulating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression by S1P in aortic VSMCs remain unclear.
## Abstract Sphingosine 1‐phosphate (S1P) has been shown to regulate smooth muscle cell proliferation, migration, and vascular maturation. S1P increases the expression of several proteins including COX‐2 in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and contributes to arteriosclerosis. However, the mecha
