Extracorporeal photopheresis induces the release of anti-inflammatory fatty acids and oxylipins and suppresses pro-inflammatory sphingosine-1-phosphate
In conclusion, we suggest that the ECP-induced changes in lipid mediators may contribute to the remarkable anti-inflammatory effects of the treatment. Depending on their lipid status, patients may benefit from novel treatment regimens combining ECP with lipid modulators. This could be used for the prevention of transplant organ rejection, the treatment of acute or chronic GvHD or transplant organ rejection and the long-term treatment of various skin diseases. This study uncovers novel mechanisms of ECP, that can be used to establish clinically relevant lipid profiles of patients to support patient stratification, predictive or prognostic purposes and thus personalized medical care in the framework of PPPM practice. A combination with S1P modulators may therefore have beneficial effects.
