Product Data
Biological target:
Fingolimod (FTY720 free base) is a sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) antagonist with an IC50 of 0.033 nM in K562 and NK cells.
In vitro activity:
FTY720 decreased glioma cell viability in a dose-dependent manner in U251MG, U87MG, and U118MG (Figure 1a). Interestingly, although the pan-caspase inhibitor (z-VAD) completely blocked TNF-α plus cycloheximide (CHX)-induced cell death, z-VAD had no effect on cell death in FTY720-treated glioma cells (Figure 1b). Next, the possibility of necrosis was examined. When cells were treated with NecroX-5, a necrosis inhibitor, cell death by H2O2 was blocked, but FTY720-induced cell death did not change (Figure 1f). Therefore, these data indicate that FTY720 induces non-apoptotic and non-necrotic cell death in glioma cells.

In vivo activity:
Compared with the sham mice group, the expressions of occludin and claudin-5 in the TBI group and the TBI + vehicle group were significantly decreased (p < 0.05), and both of them were significantly increased after FTY720 treatment (Fig. 3A, C, D). Immunofluorescent staining also showed that occludin and claudin-5 were down-regulated after TBI significantly and which were restored by FTY720 (Fig. 3E, F, G). Besides, activated (phosphorylated) ERK1/2, a key protein that transmits signals from surface receptors to the nucleus, was significantly elevated in the brain at 24 h after TBI. And this increase was reduced after treatment with FTY720 (p < 0.05) (Fig. 3A, B). Then the expression of the target of FTY720 was tested, and the result found that the expression of S1PR1 decreased significantly after using FTY720 (p < 0.05) (Supplementary Fig. C, D). But FTY720 had no effect on the content of S1P after TBI (p > 0.05) (Supplementary Fig. B). Reference: Int J Med Sci. 2021; 18(2): 304–313. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7757143/
