Abstract

To determine whether FTY720, a sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator, would protect sinusoid endothelial cells (SECs) from radiation injury in vitro. The effect of FTY720 on the viability of irradiated human liver SECs were examined by MTT assay or FACS analysis. The effect of FTY720 on the survival of hepatocellular carcinoma cell line, HepG2 and McA-RH7777, were determined by clonogenic assays. The activation of Akt pathway was tested by western bolt. FTY720 increases the survival of irradiated SECs; in contrast, it does not appear to be radioprotective of tumor cells. Furthermore, the activation of Akt pathway was confirmed in the protective effect of FTY720 on SECs. These results suggest that FTY720 will be a potential therapeutic protector for the SEC apoptosis during RILD.

AKT Pathway

This feed focuses on the AKT serine/threonine kinase, which is an important signaling pathway involved in processes such as glucose metabolism and cell survival.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
