Renal Cyclosporin-A (CsA) toxicity
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The calcineurin inhibitor immunosuppressant cyclosporin A (CsA) soon gained clinical application, and became a standard of care in organ transplantation, as well as an important treatment option in a variety of autoimmune diseases. The immunosuppressive effect of CsA is mainly attributed to inhibiting calcineurin phosphatase activity, consequently favouring the inactive phosphorylated form of nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT). Renal toxicity is a serious adverse effect of CsA, but the underlying mechanisms are insufficiently understood. CsA has also been shown to induce episodic hypoxia (Fähling et al, 2017; doi: 10.1111/apha.12811). Here, we sought to identify molecular mechanisms of CsA nephrotoxicity.
