Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 replication is modulated by host cyclophilin A expression levels.
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Gag and the cellular protein cyclophilin A form an essential complex in the virion core: virions produced by proviruses encoding Gag mutants with decreased cyclophilin A affinity exhibit attenuated infectivity, as do virions produced in the presence of the competitive inhibitor cyclosporine. The A224E Gag mutant has no effect on cyclophilin A affinity...
متن کاملCyclosporine Inhibits a Direct Interaction between Cyclophilins and Hepatitis C NS5A
BACKGROUND Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection is a leading indication for liver transplantation. HCV infection reoccurs almost universally post transplant, decreasing both graft longevity and patient survival. The immunosuppressant, cyclosporine A (CsA) has potent anti-HCV activity towards both HCV replicons and the genotype 2a cell culture infectious virus. Previously, we isolated mutations in ...
متن کاملSeptilin, A Polyherbal Formulation Against the Immunosuppression Induced by Cyclophosphamide and Cisplatin in Swiss Albino Mice
Background: Septilin (Spt) is an ayurvedic drug formulation from Himalaya Drug Company and is well-known for its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities. Interest in the use of medicinal plants and herbal medicine as immunomodulators has currently been the subject of scientific investigation worldwide. Cyclophosphamide (CP) and Cisplatin (Csp) are widely used chemothera...
متن کاملCyclosporin G and metabolite binding to cyclophilin and a 50-kDa binding protein related to in vitro immunosuppression.
Seven purified metabolites of cyclosporin G (CsG) were studied for binding to cyclophilin and a 50-kDa binding protein (50-kDa BP). The ratios of the metabolite dissociation constants with respect to CsG were compared with in vitro immunosuppression by using the primary mixed lymphocyte suppression assay. The immunosuppressive potency ratio of the parent compounds, both cyclosporin A (CsA) and ...
متن کاملCyclosporine A Treatment Inhibits Abcc6-Dependent Cardiac Necrosis and Calcification following Coxsackievirus B3 Infection in Mice
Coxsackievirus type B3 (CVB3) is a cardiotropic enterovirus. Infection causes cardiomyocyte necrosis and myocardial inflammation. The damaged tissue that results is replaced with fibrotic or calcified tissue, which can lead to permanently altered cardiac function. The extent of pathogenesis among individuals exposed to CVB3 is dictated by a combination of host genetics, viral virulence, and the...
