S1P reverts S inhibition of TNF-α. (A) The transcriptional activation of a TNF-α reporter gene construct was determined in transient transfections. Corrected luciferase values are indicated on the y-axis, stimulation conditions on the x-axis. Cells were either left unstimulated (nst) or were pretreated with solvent, 10 μM S (S), or 10 μM S plus 10 μM S1P (S + S1P) before activation with IgE/Ag. Data represent mean ± SD of triplicate determinations. (B) Determination of S in stimulated cells (time points are given above the panels; −, nonstimulated cells) incubated either with S alone or S plus S1P as indicated at the top by thin layer chromatography. The positions of S, S1P, and degradation product (d) are indicated with arrows (right). S served as standard (Std).
