The bioactive sphingolipid sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) and its five cognate receptors (S1PR1-5) have been implicated to play important role in multiple aspects of human physiology and diseases. The S1P-S1PR1 signaling axis in endothelial cells is crucial for establishing flow competent blood vessels. The role of S1P in neovascular pathology is of great interest and is evolving as a promising target for treatment. Here we describe an easy and affordable in vivo model of corneal neovascularization using an alkali chemical burn to the cornea. This method gives a consistent and easy-to-quantitate procedure for neovascularization and angiogenesis studies.
