FTY720: targeting G-protein-coupled receptors for sphingosine 1-phosphate in transplantation and autoimmunity

Volker Brinkmann et al. Curr Opin Immunol. 2002 Oct.

Abstract

The novel immunomodulator FTY720 is remarkably effective in models of transplantation and autoimmunity. Recent data show that phosphorylated FTY720 is an agonist at four sphingosine 1-phosphate receptors. Stimulation of sphingosine 1-phosphate receptors leads to sequestration of lymphocytes in secondary lymphatic tissues and thus away from inflammatory lesions and graft sites.
