Abstract
PURPOSES: To probe into immunosuppressive effect and cell cycle arrest effect of different dose of FTY720. METHOD: we study immunosuppressive effect and cell cycle arrest effect of different dose of FTY720 and time and dose dependence of FTY720 with control and random method in vivo, respectively. RESULTS: (i) survival time of graft in rat cardiac transplantation model is prolonged in group treated with FTY720. It is longer in group treated with FTY720 10 mg/kg than that in group treated with FTY720 2 mg/kg. (ii) The mean sum of lymphocyte in periphery blood decrease obviously 2 h after administration, reaches its peak 4 h after administration, and then maintain at low level stably. The mean sum of lymphocyte shows a linear relationship with dose of FTY720 and decrease with increasing of dose of FTY720. (iii) The percent of cell in G1-G0 increased in group treated with FTY720, not only in thymus but also in lymph node; this is more prevalent in the group treated with FTY720 10 mg/kg than that in group treated with FTY720 2 mg/kg. Similarly, the percent of cell in S and G2-M decreased in group treated with FTY720, not only in thymus but also in lymph node, and this decrease is more associated with group treated with FTY720 10 mg/kg than the one treated with FTY720 2 mg/kg. CONCLUSION: FTY720 is an effective immunosuppressant and immunosuppressive effect of FTY720 show a tendency of time and dose dependent. Effect of cell cycle arrest of FTY720 is related to dose of this new immunosuppressant.
