Cyclosporine A Regulates Pro-Inflammatory Cytokine Production in Ulcerative Colitis

Abstract: Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are the two major forms of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), which are defined as relapsing inflammations of the gastrointestinal tract. Cyclosporine A (CsA) is a potential rescue treatment to avoid colectomy in severe steroid-refractory UC patients. The molecular mechanism of action of CsA in UC is nevertheless still not well understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of CsA on a possible modulation of cytokine production by peripheral blo… Show more

“…The present data reveal that the serum levels of proinflammatory cytokine IL-13 is higher in IBD patients than healthy subjects. Such a phenomenon was also found by other investigators [Steiner et al, 2015]. The significance of this finding is that IL-13 can inhibit the expression of cyp27b1 in CD14 þ cells.…”

“…Several in vitro and in vivo studies have high lighted the potential mechanism of action of these drugs. Ciclosporin A and tacrolimus bind to speci fic intra cellular receptors (immunophilins) and act by blocking the activation of the transcription factor nuclear fac tor of activated T cells (NFAT) that controls cytokine gene transcription and apoptosis resistance of lympho cytes 18,19 . Moreover, methotrexate affects survival of immune cells by blocking cell proliferation and indu cing apoptosis 20 .…”
