Project description:A synthetic analog of sphingosine named FTY720 (Fingolimod), phosphorylated by sphingosine kinase-2, interacts with sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptors expressed on various cells. FTY720 suppresses the disease activity of multiple sclerosis (MS) chiefly by inhibiting S1P-dependent egress of autoreactive T lymphocytes from secondary lymphoid organs, and possibly by exerting anti-inflammmatory and neuroprotective effects directly on brain cells. However, at present, biological effects of FTY720 on human microglia are largely unknown. We studied FTY720-mediated apoptosis of a human microglia cell line HMO6. The exposure of HMO6 cells to non-phosphorylated FTY720 (FTY720-non-P) induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner with IC50 of 10.6±2.0 microM, accompanied by the cleavage of caspase-7 and caspase-3 but not of caspase-9. The apoptosis was inhibited by Z-DQMD-FMK, a caspase-3 inhibitor, but not by Pertussis toxin, a Gi protein inhibitor, suramin, a S1P3/S1P5 inhibitor, or W123, a S1P1 competitive antagonist, although HMO6 expressed S1P1, S1P2, and S1P3. Furthermore, both phosphorylated FTY720 (FTY720-P) and SEW2871, a S1P1 selective agonist did not induce apoptosis of HMO6. Genome-wide gene expression profiling and molecular network analysis indicated activation of transcriptional regulation by sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) in FTY720-non-P-treated HMO6 cells. Western blot verified activation of SREBP2 in these cells, and apoptosis was enhanced by pretreatment with simvastatin, an activator of SREBP2, and by overexpression of the N-terminal fragment of SREBP2. These observations suggest that FTY720-non-P-induced apoptosis of HMO6 human microglia is independent of S1P receptor binding, and positively regulated by the SREBP2-dependent proapoptotic signaling pathway.

The HMO6 cell line was established by immortalizing cultured microglia isolated from human embryonic telencephalon tissues with a retroviral vector PASK1.2 encoding v-myc oncogene (Nagai et al. Neurobiol. Dis. 8: 1057-1068, 2001). HMO6 cells express the markers of the microglia/macrophage lineage cells, including CD11b, CD68, CD86, HLA-ABC, HLA-DR, and ricinus communis agglutinin lectin-1 (RCA), serving as a model of human microglia both in vitro and in vivo. The cells were exposed for 2 hours to 10 microM FTY720-non-P dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or ethanol or exposed to the vehicle.

Project description:Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) influences T cell migration into and out of secondary lymphoid organs; however, its mechanism of action remains uncertain. Our previous research shows that agonism of the S1P receptor S1P1 inhibits the egress of T lymphocytes from the peripheral tissues into afferent lymphatics. To better define the mechanism of inhibition, we developed an in vitro model to characterize T cell transendothelial migration across lymphatics. Two commercially available endothelial cell lines (MS-1 and SVEC4-10) were characterized by flow cytometry, real time RT-PCR, and Affymetrix Gene Array. These cell lines were grown to confluent monolayers in transwell systems, on either the upper or lower surface of the transwell insert. T cells were isolated from the spleens of (C57BL/6 x C3H/HeJ)F1, S1P1 KO, or S1P1 KO littermate controls, and either treated with the S1P receptor modulator FTY720 or left untreated. Cells were migrated to chemokines (CCL19 or CCL21) for 4 hours, and migration quantified. Flow cytometry, RT-PCR, and array results identified MS-1 as a blood vascular endothelial cell line, expressing high levels of CD31, CD34, and ICAM-1 as well as other endothelial cell markers; while SVEC4-10 closely resemble a lymphatic phenotype, expressing LYVE-1, VEGFR-3, and podoplanin. T cells efficiently migrate across MS-1, whether grown on the upper or lower surface; whereas migration across SVEC4-10 only occurs when cells are grown on the lower surface of the transwell (iSVEC), recapitulating basal (abluminal) to apical (luminal) migration that occurs in vivo. FTY720 inhibits T cell migration across iSVEC, but not across MS-1. Inhibition is due to drug effects only on T cells but not endothelial cells. S1P1 KO T cells treated with FTY720 are not inhibited in their migration across the iSVEC line, showing that S1P1 stimulation is required for migration inhibition. The in vitro model developed here is the first to use endothelial cell lines to analyze the regulation of T cell migration across lymphatic endothelium. The results show there is directional control of T cell migration across lymphatic cells, such that T cells only migrate from a basal to apical direction. Agonism of S1P1 specifically inhibits migration, while absence of the receptor does not. These findings have important implications for the use of S1P1 agonists in transplantation, as inhibition of cell entry into afferent lymphatics and lymph nodes could impede the development of graft rejection. We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression of these two cell lines in order to beter determine their phenotype as blood vascular or lymphatic endothelial cell line for use in our newly-developed in vitro model. Experiment Overall Design: MS-1 or SVEC4-10 endothelial cell lines were grown in culture flasks for 3-5 days in standard culture medium (see protocol below) until reaching confluence. Cells were then gently dissociated from flask and cells were placed in Trizol reagent for RNA isolation.

Project description:MP4-induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is a B cell-dependent mouse model of multiple sclerosis (MS), which enables targeted research on B cells, currently much discussed protagonists in MS pathogenesis. Here, we used this model to study the impact of the S1P1 receptor modulator FTY720 (fingolimod) on the autoreactive B cell and antibody response both in the periphery and central nervous system (CNS) itself.

Project description:Although microglial have an essential role in host defense in the brain, the abnormal activation of microglia can lead to devastating outcomes, such as neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. Emerging evidence increasingly supports that FTY720 (fingolimod), an FDA-approved drug has beneficial effects in the CNS on brain cells and more recently immunosuppressive activities in microglia via modulation of the S1P1 receptor. However, the exact molecular aspects of FTY720 contribution in microglia remain largely unaddressed. To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the roles of FTY720 in microglia, we performed gene expression profiling in resting, FTY720, LPS and LPS+FTY720 challenged primary microglial cells (PM) isolated from 3-day-old ICR mice and we identified FTY720 target genes and co-regulated modules that were critical in inflammation. By examining RNA-sequencing and binding motif datasets from FTY720 suppressed LPS-induced inflammatory mediators, we also identified unexpected relationships between the inducible transcription factors (TFs), motif strength, and transcription of key inflammatory mediators. Furthermore, we show that FTY720 controls important inflammatory genes targets by modulating STAT1, and IRF8 level at their promoter site. Our unprecedented findings demonstrate that FTY720 could be a useful therapeutic application for neuroinflammatory diseases associated with microglia activation as well as provide a rich resource and framework for future analyses of FTY720 on microglia interaction.

Project description:Nuclear FTY720-P is a potent inhibitor of class I histone deacetylases (HDACs) that enhances histone acetylations and regulates expression of a restricted set of genes independently of its known effects on canonical signaling through sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptors. We found that FTY720 is phosphorylated in Era-negative breast cancer cells by nuclear sphingosine kinase 2 and accumulates these cells.

Project description:The hormone calcitonin (CT) is primarily known for its pharmacologic action as an inhibitor of bone resorption, yet CT-deficient mice display increased bone formation. These findings raised the question about the underlying cellular and molecular mechanism of CT action. Here we show that either ubiquitous or osteoclast-specific inactivation of the murine CT receptor (CTR) causes increased bone formation. CT negatively regulates the osteoclast expression of Spns2 gene, which encodes a transporter for the signaling lipid sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P). CTR-deficient mice show increased S1P levels, and their skeletal phenotype is normalized by deletion of the S1P receptor S1P3. Finally, pharmacologic treatment with the non-selective S1P receptor agonist FTY720 causes increased bone formation in wildtype, but not in S1P3-deficient mice. This study redefines the role of CT in skeletal biology, confirms that S1P acts as an osteoanabolic molecule in vivo, and provides evidence for a pharmacologically exploitable crosstalk between osteoclasts and osteoblasts. Osteoclasts of wildtype and Calcr-/- C57Bl/6 mice were treated with Calcitonin and compared to the non-treated osteoclasts of wildtype or Calcr-/- mice, respectively.
