Effects of FTY720 on Lung Injury Induced by Hindlimb Ischemia Reperfusion in Rats

Figure 2

The expressions of S1PL, SphK1, and SphK2 mRNA in lung tissues. Rats were divided into five groups: groups SM, IR, F3, F5, and F10. The rats in group SM received sham operation and bilateral limb IR (ischemia 3 h/reperfusion 3 h) in group IR. The rats in groups F3, F5, and F10 were treated with FTY720 3 mg/kg/d, 5 mg/kg/d, and 10 mg/kg/d, respectively, for 7 consecutive days before limb IR. Upon 3 h reperfusion, the expressions of S1PL, SphK1, and SphK2 mRNA were measured. S1PL: S1P lyase; SphK1: sphingosine kinase-1; SphK2: sphingosine kinase-2. versus group SM; # versus group IR.
