Transcription profiling of mouse T cell model to characterize transendothelial migration across lymphatics

ABSTRACT: Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) influences T cell migration into and out of secondary lymphoid organs; however, its mechanism of action remains uncertain. Our previous research shows that agonism of the S1P receptor S1P1 inhibits the egress of T lymphocytes from the peripheral tissues into afferent lymphatics. To better define the mechanism of inhibition, we developed an in vitro model to characterize T cell transendothelial migration across lymphatics. Two commercially available endothelial cell lines (MS-1 and SVEC4-10) were characterized by flow cytometry, real time RT-PCR, and Affymetrix Gene Array. These cell lines were grown to confluent monolayers in transwell systems, on either the upper or lower surface of the transwell insert. T cells were isolated from the spleens of (C57BL/6 x C
