Effect of FTY720-phosphate on the expression of inflammation-associated molecules in astrocytes in vitro.

چکیده
FTY720 is a new oral immunomodulatory therapy for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). There is strong evidence that FTY720 has direct effects on brain resident cells such as astrocytes acting via sphingosine‑1‑phosphate (S1P) receptors. In the present study, the mRNA expression of S1P receptors as well as selected cytokines, chemokines and growth factors were investigated in primary murine astrocytes under inflammatory conditions in the presence or absence of the phosphorylated form of FTY720 (FTY720‑P). Following stimulation with either the pro‑inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor‑α (TNF‑α) or with bacterial lipopolysaccharide, there was an increased expression of the receptors S1P1 and S1P3, the cytokines and chemokines interleukin (IL)‑1β, chemokine (C‑C‑motif) ligand 2 (CCL‑2), CCL‑20 and chemokine (C‑X‑C‑motif) ligand 12 as well as the growth factors insulin‑like growth factor‑1, ciliary neurotrophic factor and glial cell line‑derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF). FTY720‑P led to an increased expression of IL‑1β and GDNF at distinct time points following co‑stimulation with TNF‑α compared with TNF‑α treatment alone. However, the presence of FTY720‑P did not have any further significant effects on the expression of S1P receptors, cytokines or growth factors, suggesting that the regulation of these target genes in astrocytes is not likely to be a major mechanism underlying the effect of FTY720‑P in diseases such as MS.

In the process of neuronal inflammation, an increased in inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α) from immune cells (leukocytes and macrophages), brain cells (microglia, astrocytes and neurons) and in hippocampus, amygdala occurs. Raise the level of cytokines result in reduced in production of molecules that are related to plasticity, especially BDNF, IGF-1 and VEGF. Microglia ...

Inflammation is portion of the body's immune response and it is basically a host protective response to tissue ischemia, injury, autoimmune responses or infectious agents. Although the information presented so far points to a detrimental role for inflammation in central nervous system (CNS) disease, it may also be useful. CNS demonstrates characteristic of inflammation, and in response to damag...
