摘要: FTY720 (2-amino-[2-(4-octylphenyl) ethyl]-1,3-propanediol hydrochloride) is an immunosuppressive agent that inhibits allograft rejection. We recently demonstrated FTY-phosphate, the active metabolite of FTY720, acts as a full agonist for sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptors. Furthermore, activation S1P receptors with their natural ligand, S1P, well pharmacological ligands leads to lymphopenia, probably due sequestration lymphocytes in secondary lymphoid organs. In present study we used local Ag-challenged mouse model examine effects on T cell draining lymph node (DLN) and release activated cells peripheral blood compartment. showed number Ag-activated CD4+ DLN after injection Ag CFA into footpad was dramatically reduced treatment. However, proliferation, both vitro vivo, not impaired by FTY720. Our results suggest efficiency responses response defective recirculation naive caused found numbers mice were equally treatment, suggesting subsets are sequestered DLNs. Thus, induces immunosuppression through inhibition from
