AIM This study was undertaken to investigate the protective effect against ConcanavalinA (ConA) or BCG+LPS induced liver injury in mice by FTY720 and possible mechanisms. METHODS The serum ALT and its AST level changes were measured in two kinds of immunological liver injury models. The serum IFN ? and IL 4 changes were determined by ELISA and tested the effect of FTY720 on lymphocyte proliferation. RESULTS FTY720 dose dependently reduced serum ALT, AST levels in ConA or BCG+LPS induced liver injury in mice. It was also found that FTY720 decreases serum IFN ? and IL 4 levels during liver injury. The results also proved that FTY720 was able to inhibit lymphocyte proliferation. CONCLUSION Pretreatment with FTY720 could protect the mice from immunological liver injury. The possible mechanisms of its action are related to inhibiting lymphocyte proliferation and cytokines production.

Objective:To investigate the effect of activation of proteinase activated receptor(PAR)2 on mediator release from mast cells.Methods:P815 cells(a mast cell line) were challenged with various concentrations of PAR-2 agonist peptide,trypsin,tryptase or elasetase with or without PAR-2 antagonist peptide.The supernatants were collected and analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) to detect the quantity of released IL-4,IL-6 and histamine.Results:PAR-2 agonist peptide,trypsin or tryptase induced a concentration-dependent IL-4,but not histamine release from P815 mast cells.Trypsin and tryptase induced IL-4 release from the mast cells was blocked by addition of PAR-2 antagonist peptide.No IL-4,IL-6 and histamine release was observed when P815 cells were incubated with elasetase.Conclusion:Induction of IL-4 release from mast cells by trypsin and tryptase through activation of PAR-2 added some novel information on the hypothesis of self-amplification mechanism of mast cell activation.
