Analyses of the toxic properties of recombinant human Cyclophilin A in mice
Cyclophilin A (CypA), an 18 kDa multi-functional protein with cis–trans isomerase activity, is both a ligand for cyclosporine A and a proinflammatory factor. CypA is also a chemoattractant for hemopoietic stem cells and progenitors of different lineages,

Background Cyclophilin (CYP) belongs to the immunophilin family and has peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) activity, which catalyzes the cis-trans isomerization process of proline residues.

Legionella pneumophila strain 130b evades macrophage cell death independent of the effector SidF in the absence of flagellin [PDF]
International audienceThe human pathogen Legionella pneumophila must evade host cell death signaling to enable replication in lung macrophages and to cause disease. After bacterial growth, however, L.

Cyclophilin A interacts with diverse lentiviral capsids [PDF]
The capsid (CA) protein of HIV-1 binds with high affinity to the host protein cyclophilin A (CypA). This binding positively affects some early stage of the viral life-cycle because prevention of binding either by drugs that occupy that active site of cyclophilin A, by mutation in HIV-1 CA, or RNAi that knocks down intracellular CypA level diminishes ...

Cyclophilin A accelerates SiO2-induced macrophage foaming
Silicosis is a common occupational disease characterized by lung inflammation, fibrosis and pulmonary dysfunction caused by long-term inhalation of free SiO2. Cell foaming and the change of CyPA have been observed in SiO2-induced macrophages, but the specific mechanism of CyPA in SiO2-induced foam cells remains poorly understood.

When life comes to an end : lessons from microbial aging models [PDF]
Aging of biological systems ultimately leads to death of the individual. In humans, organ failure as the result of functional impairments after stroke, cardio-vascular disease, tumor development, neurodegeneration and other diseases are certainly crucial

Facile Synthesis of a Fluorescent Cyclosporin A Analogue To Study Cyclophilin 40 and Cyclophilin 18 Ligands [PDF]
There are strong indications for the involvement of cyclophilin 40 in diseases caused by misregulation of steroid hormone receptors, like prostate or breast cancer. To identify novel inhibitors for this immunophilin, we developed a simplified fluorescence polarization assay based on the synthesis of a fluorescein-labeled tracer.

Cyclophilin B serum levels present variations across the menstrual cycle
Cyclophilins are a family of chaperones involved in inflammation and cell death. Cyclophilin B is released by inflammatory cells and acts through the receptor CD147, affecting matrix metalloproteases release, whilst cyclophilin D participates in hypoxia ...
