In this study, we evaluated the effect of FTY720 and its active metabolite, (S)-enantiomer of FTY720-phosphate [(S)-FTY720-P] on experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in rats and mice. Prophylactic administration of FTY720 at 0.1 to 1 mg/kg almost completely prevented the development of EAE, and therapeutic treatment with FTY720 significantly inhibited the progression of EAE and EAE-associated histological change in the spinal cords of LEW rats induced by immunization with myelin basic protein. Consistent with rat EAE, the development of proteolipid protein-induced EAE in SJL/J mice was almost completely prevented and infiltration of CD4^+ T cells into spinal cord was decreased by prophylactic treatment with FTY720 and (S)-FTY720-P. When FTY720 or (S)-FTY720-P was given after establishment of EAE in SJL/J mice, the relapse of EAE was markedly inhibited as compared with interferon-β, and the area of demyelination and the infiltration of CD4^+ T cells were decreased in spinal cords of EAE mice. Similar therapeutic effect by FTY720 was obtained in myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-induced EAE in C57BL/6 mice. These results indicate that FTY720 exhibits not only a prophylactic but also a therapeutic effect on EAE in rats and mice, and that the effect of FTY720 on EAE appears to be due to a reduction of the infiltration of myelin antigen-specific CD4^+ T cells into the inflammation site.

文摘目的 研究T细胞免疫球蛋白黏蛋白3(TIM-3)及乳腺癌易感基因相关蛋白1(BAP1)、泛素特异性蛋白酶39(USP39)与早期胃癌免疫浸润的关系。方法 选取2019年4月至2021年12月于我院行内镜下黏膜剥离术(ESD)治疗的87例早期胃癌患者,收集其术后病理组织及其癌旁组织;采用免疫组织化学法检测组织TIM-3、BAP1、USP39及CD3^(+)、CD4^(+)、CD8^(+)、CD68^(+)阳性表达,实时荧光定量PCR法检测其mRNA表达;采用Spearman法分析相关性;并比较TIM-3、BAP1、USP39阳性表达的病理参数,随访统计阴阳性表达者生存时间,COX回归分析影响预后的危险因素。结果 TIM-3、BAP1、USP39在胃癌组织中阳性表达率高于癌旁组织(P<0.05)。胃癌组织TIM-3 m RNA、BAP1 m RNA、USP39 mRNA表达量高于癌旁组织(P<0.05)。胃癌组织中CD3^(+)、CD4^(+)阳性率高于癌旁组织,CD8^(+)、CD68^(+)阳性表达率低于癌旁组织(P<0.05)。TIM-3、BAP1、USP39阳性表达在年龄、性别方面,无统计学意义(P>0.05);在分化程度、淋巴结转移方面,具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。经Spearman分析显示,TIM-3、BAP1、USP39表达与CD3^(+)、CD4^(+)浸润量呈正相关(P<0.05),与CD8^(+)、CD68^(+)浸润量呈负相关(P<0.05)。术后随访1年,TIM-3、BAP1、USP39阳性表达者生存率分别为75.68%(56/74)、73.33%(44/60)、71.43%(40/56),阴性表达者分别为100.00%(13/13)、92.59%(25/27)、93.55%(29/31);阴阳性表达患者生存率差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。经COX多因素分析显示,分化程度对胃癌预后无显著影响(P>0.05),淋巴结转移、TIM-3、BAP1、USP39阳性表达为影响预后的危险因素(P<0.05)。结论 TIM-3、BAP1、USP39在胃癌组织中阳性表达率高,其表达与组织免疫浸润有关,且TIM-3、BAP1、USP39阳性表达者预后差。
