FTY720: Sphingosine 1-Phosphate Receptor-1 in the Control of Lymphocyte Egress and Endothelial Barrier Function

Open access

Abstract

The novel immunomodulator FTY720 is effective in experimental models of transplantation and autoimmunity, and is currently undergoing Phase III clinical trials for prevention of kidney graft rejection. In contrast to conventional immunosuppressants, FTY720 does not impair T- and B-cell activation, proliferation and effector function, but interferes with cell traffic between lymphoid organs and blood. The molecular basis for the mode of action of the drug has only recently been established. FTY720, after phosphorylation, acts as a high-affinity agonist at the G protein-coupled sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor-1 (S1P(1)) on thymocytes and lymphocytes, thereby inducing aberrant internalization of the receptor. This renders the cells unresponsive to the serum lipid sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), depriving them from an obligatory signal to egress from lymphoid organs. As a consequence, lymphocytes are unable to recirculate to peripheral inflammatory tissues and graft sites but remain functional in the lymphoid compartment. In addition to the effects on lymphocyte recirculation, the drug acts on endothelial cells and preserves vascular integrity by enhancing adherens junction assembly and endothelial barrier function. The available data establish S1P(1) as a key target for FTY720, and further point to therapeutically relevant effects of the drug on lymphocytes and vascular endothelium.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
