Cyclosporin A is a selective cyclophilin inhibitor with IC50 value of 7 nM [1].
Cyclophilins are isomerase enzymes and involve in a variety of functions related to cell metabolism and energy homeostasis. It has been reported that the over expression of cyclophilins were observed in inflammation or malignancy.
Cyclosporin A is a potent cyclophilin inhibitor which is responsible for the opening of the MPTP (mitochondrial permeability transition pore). When tested with retinal ganglion cells, Cyclosporin A showed a high selectivity for the expression of cyclophilin D and prolonged the cells survival [2]. In human First-Trimester Trophoblast Cells, Cyclosporin A treatment promoted cells growth and invasiveness by inhibiting Ca2+/Calcineurin/NFAT signal [3]. Cyclosporin A treatment promoted the apoptosis of T-cell by upregulating Fas/FasL and caspase activities [4]. Treated human T cells with Cyclosporin A suppressed T cell activation by inhibiting calcineurin and NFATc which are responsible for T cell function [1].
In retinal ischemia C57BL/6 mouse model, Cyclosporin A treatment significantly prevented the up regulation of cyclophilin D and ameliorated the death of neuronal cells in vivo [2].
Cyclosporin A has also been reported to inhibit the entry of hepatitis B and C virus through interfering NTCP reportor [5]. In CRC cell lines (CACO-2, HT-29, HCT-116 and LOVO), Cyclosporin A treatment also could impair cell growth via without calcineurin pathway while the mechanism was still undermined [6].

Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines |
Jurkat T cells and A549 lung carcinoma cells |
Preparation method |
The solubility of this compound in DMSO is >60.2 mg/mL. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37 ℃ for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while. Stock solution can be stored below -20℃ for several months. |
Reacting condition |
1 μM, 24h |
Applications |
Pretreatment of fresh T cells with CsA during primary TCR stimulation decreased their production of TGF-β1 during secondary stimulation. Higher concentrations of CsA (10 μM) promoted the release of preformed TGF-β1 by inducing apoptosis. |
Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models |
Female retinal ischemia C57BL/6 mouse model |
Dosage form |
Intraperitoneal injection, 5 mg/kg per day |
Application |
CsA significantly promoted RGC survival in ischemic retina. CsA treatment significantly decreased GFAP and CypD protein expression in ischemic retina at 12 h. CsA treatment decreased CypD immunoreactivity in the inner layer of ischemic retina. |
Other notes |
Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal. |
