FTY720 stimulates multidrug transporter– and cysteinyl leukotriene–dependent T cell chemotaxis to lymph nodes

Abstract: IntroductionFTY720 is a synthetic sphingosine immunosuppressant that prolongs the survival of allografts without impairing normal T and B cell activation (1). In vitro studies have proposed that FTY720, like other sphingosine derivatives, may cause apoptotic death of the T cell, although the concentrations needed for this effect are greater than the normal therapeutic dose (2). FTY720 may also prolong graft survival by decreasing T cell infiltration into allografts or otherwise altering normal T cell trafficki… Show more

“…Alternatively, sphingosine 1-phosphate may regulate the responses of thymocytes to thymic chemokines important for retention or emigration. Sphingosine 1-phosphate has been demonstrated to regulate the chemotactic responses of T-cells to chemokines in a concentration-dependent manner (17,35).…”

“…Although S1P is secreted by several types of cells in response to various agonists (55), little is known about the mechanisms of its release. The ATP-binding cassette transporter ABCB1 (previously called MDR-1 and P-glycoprotein), which catalyzes movement of platelet-activating factor in addition to amphiphilic drugs from the cytosol to the extracellular environment (56), has recently been implicated in transport of S1P out of cells (57). Transport of S1P out of cells is an important issue to resolve because it impinges on S1P actions at the cell surface and possibly inside cells.…”

“…Moreover, they had no effects on the levels of cell-associated S1P (data not shown). To assess the functional activity of these inhibitors, cells were loaded with a fluorescent transport substrate DiOC 2 , which is transported by ABCB1 more efficiently than by other ABC transporters (22), and fluorescence secreted from the cells was measured (23). There was increased fluorescence at 37°C, indicating transport of the dye from the intracellular to the extracellular compartment, whereas cells held at 4°C exported DiOC 2 to a much lesser extent.…”
