| Abstract | OBJECTIVES: The immunosuppressive drug cyclosporine (CsA) is a potent agent widely used after organ transplantations and to treat various autoimmune disorders. After using CsA, some patients suffer severe complications including renal and vascular toxicity, which are influenced by the degree of the endothelial damage. Several studies have demonstrated CsA treatment to directly induce apoptosis in several cell types. Thus, CsA may induce endothelial damage via activation of proapoptotic proteins. The present study was undertaken to investigate the effects of CsA on apoptosis of endothelial cells using human umbilical vein endothelial cells. METHODS: Proliferation was measured by using the Cell Counting Assay Kit after cells were exposed to CsA (0 L, 10 L, 30 L, 50 L or 100 µg/mL). Apoptotic cells were identified by fluorescence microscopy of 4', 6-diamidino-2-phenylidole-stained nuclei. Western blot analysis was done for poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), p27, p53 and caspase. RESULTS: Cell viability decreased dependent on the CsA concentration. CsA treatment group showed chromatin condensation and nuclear fragmentation. CsA produced a dose-dependent induction of p27 and reduction of procasapase-3. CsA treatment induced the degradation of 116-kDa PARP into an 89-kDa fragment. CONCLUSIONS: CsA induced apoptosis of endothelial cells. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
