Fingolimod suppresses neuronal autophagy through the mTOR/p70S6K pathway and alleviates ischemic brain damage in mice.

The bioactive, signaling lipid, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), and its analog, fingolimod (FTY720), have previously shown neuroprotective effects against ischemic brain injury. However, the underlying mechanisms have not yet been fully clarified. The roles of autophagy in ischemic stroke are being i...
