Article Title: Amiselimod (MT-1303), a novel sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor-1 functional antagonist, inhibits progress of chronic colitis induced by transfer of CD4 + CD45RB high T cells
doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0226154
Figure Lengend Snippet: MT-1303 (0.3 mg/kg) or vehicle was orally administered to C57BL/6 mice for 3 days and S1P 1 receptor expression on CD4 + T cells from mesenteric lymph nodes was determined using flow cytometry. (A) Representative histograms of S1P 1 receptor expression in each group. Black, isotype control (rat IgG); red, vehicle-treated mice (S1P 1 ); blue, MT-1303-treated mice (S1P 1 ). (B) Mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of the S1P 1 receptor on CD4 + T cells. Data are expressed as the mean ± S.E.M. (n = 3), and statistical differences were calculated using Student’s t -test after logarithmic transformation. ** p < 0.01, compared with the vehicle-treated group. (C) The number of CD4 + T cells in peripheral blood was measured using flow cytometry. Data are expressed as the mean ± S.E.M.; n = 3. Statistical differences were calculated using Student’s t -test. ** p < 0.01, compared with the vehicle-treated group.
Article Snippet: Rat anti-mouse S1P 1 antibody (713412) and mouse CD4 + T cell enrichment column were obtained from R&D Systems, and the Lamina Propria Dissociation Kit was purchased from Miltenyi Biotec.
