Cyclosporin A as prophylaxis against graft-versus-host disease in 36 patients.
Oral cyclosporin A was used as prophylaxis against graft-versus-host disease in (a) 31 patients with acute leukaemia or aplastic anaemia given transplants of HLA-matched bone marrow and (b) five patients with inborn errors of metabolism given transplants of haplotype-identical (parental) bone marrow. Twenty-six patients survived longer than two months after the operation. Despite the cyclospori...
متن کاملRole of calcineurin in exercise-induced mitochondrial biogenesis.
Raising cytosolic Ca2+ induces an increase in mitochondrial biogenesis in myotubes. This phenomenon mimics the adaptive responses of skeletal muscle to exercise. It has been hypothesized that increases in cytosolic Ca2+ during motor nerve activity stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis by activating calcineurin. Overexpression of constitutively active calcineurin increases expression of peroxisome ...
متن کاملHUMAN CYTOCHROME P450 3A4-CATALYZED TESTOSTERONE 6b-HYDROXYLATION AND ERYTHROMYCIN N-DEMETHYLATION Competition During Catalysis
Cytochrome P450 3A4 is known to catalyze the metabolism of both endogenous substrates (such as the 6b-hydroxylation of testosterone) and many important therapeutic agents, including the Ndemethylation of erythromycin. However, erythromycin and testosterone have been reported to have little or no effect on the metabolism of each other by recombinant CYP3A4. In an effort to understand the basis o...
متن کاملCyclosporin-induced dyslipoproteinemia is associated with selective activation of SREBP-2.
The use of cyclosporin A has contributed greatly to the success of organ transplantation. However, cyclosporin-associated side effects of hypertension, nephrotoxicity, and dyslipoproteinemia have tempered these benefits. Cyclosporin-induced dyslipoproteinemia may be an important risk factor for the accelerated atherosclerosis observed posttransplantation. Using a mouse model, we treated Swiss-W...
متن کاملDemonstration of docosahexaenoic acid as a bioavailability enhancer for CYP3A substrates: in vitro and in vivo evidence using cyclosporin in rats.
To investigate the pharmacokinetic interaction between cyclosporin A (CsA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in vivo, 5 mg/kg CsA was orally or intravenously coadministered with DHA (50-200 microg/kg) to rats. The effect of DHA on CYP3A activity was determined using rat liver microsomes in vitro. Moreover, the effect of DHA on P-glycoprotein (P-gp) function was examined using cultured Caco-2 cells...
