The monocyte-derived immature dendritic cells (iDCs) are pretreated with various concentrations of S1P for various periods of time prior to their incubation with NK cells. Four hours incubation of autologous or allogeneic iDCs with 0.2-20 μM of S1P significantly protectes these cells from NK cell lysis. The IC
50
values of S1P are calculated at 160 nM for autologous iDCs, and 34 nM for allogeneic iDCs. Next, the inhibitory effect of S1P is revered by various concentrations of Fingolimod or SEW2871, with an IC
50
effect of 173 or 15 nM, respectively. Fingolimod has been reported to reduce LPA synthesis via inhibition of the lysophospholipase autotaxin. Fingolimod treatment correlates with a significant elevation of axonal cAMP, a crucial factor for axonal outgrowth. Additionally, Fingolimod significantly reduces LPA levels in the injured nerve. PF-8380 treatment correlates with improved myelin thickness.
