Abstract:
:Several clinical studies have shown that cyclosporin A (CsA) is effective for treating a variety of chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Because reactive oxygen species are believed to play a key role in the development of these diseases, causing cell apoptosis, we investigated whether CsA inhibits H2O2-induced apoptosis. Preincubation of human fibroblasts with CsA dose-dependently decreased H2O2-induced apoptosis. Apoptosis suppression by CsA was correlated with the prevention of mitochondrial dysfunction and caspase activation. Thus, our results suggest that the inhibition of apoptosis by CsA may at least partly contribute to the anti-inflammatory effect of CsA.
