| Research Abstract |
In inflammatory bowel diseases, it is thought that colitogenic memory CD4+ T cells are intermittently reactivated in regional lymphoid organs, and return to inflammatory tissues. Little is known about how FTY720 controls the migration property of memory T cells. We here demonstrated that FTY720 prevents the development of colitis induced by the adoptive transfer of naive CD4+ T cells into SCID mice. Also FTY720 prevents the colitis induced by the adoptive transfer of colitogenic effector-memory CD4+ T cells into SCID mice. In both model, cell number of CD4+ T cells was markedly decreased in peripheral blood of FTY720-treated mice, but conversely increased in lymph nodes. Notably, FTY720 treatment prevented the development of colitis in inflammatory bowel disease model by inhibition of T-cell egress from lymph nodes.
