TY - JOUR. T1 - Inhibitory effect of antihypertensive drugs on calcineurin in cardiomyocytes. AU - Zhang, Gus Q.. AU - Zhu, Zhiming. AU - Zhang, Weiguo. N1 - Copyright: Copyright 2009 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.. PY - 2009/2/16. Y1 - 2009/2/16. N2 - In recent years, a handful of research investigations have shown that some antihypertensive drugs, i.e., angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI), angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), and calcium channel blocker (CCB), can inhibit myocardial expression and/or activity of calcineurin. Calcineurin is a Ca2+-calmodulin-dependent serine/threonine phosphatase and is a target for some immunosuppressive drugs. It is well known that traditional immunosuppressants, such as cyclosporine A (CsA) and tacrolimus (FK506), are anticalcineurin, and their prohypertensive effects are such that antihypertensive therapy is often required in organ transplant recipients who receive these drugs. Therefore, the idea that ACEI, ARB, and CCBs are both ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Calcium channel regulator Mid1 links TORC2-mediated changes in mitochondrial respiration to autophagy. AU - Vlahakis, Ariadne. AU - Muniozguren, Nerea Lopez. AU - Powers, Ted. PY - 2016. Y1 - 2016. N2 - Autophagy is a catabolic process that recycles cytoplasmic contents and is crucial for cell survival during stress. The target of rapamycin (TOR) kinase regulates autophagy as part of two distinct protein complexes, TORC1 and TORC2. TORC1 negatively regulates autophagy according to nitrogen availability. In contrast, TORC2 functions as a positive regulator of autophagy during amino acid starvation, via its target kinase Ypk1, by repressing the activity of the calcium-dependent phosphatase calcineurin and promoting the general amino acid control (GAAC) response. Precisely how TORC2-Ypk1 signaling regulates calcineurin within this pathway remains unknown. Here we demonstrate that activation of calcineurin requires Mid1, an endoplasmic reticulum-localized calcium channel regulatory ...

folliculitis more commonly caused by ointment.. #4 Topical immunomodulants. There is strong evidence that TCIs have a steroid-sparing effect and long-term use up to 12 months can prevent flares. Topical calcineurin inhibitors are particularly useful for sensitive sites including the face, neck, and skin flexures. Its now studied that there is no statistically significant cancer risk.. #5 Proactive approach with topical anti-inflammatory therapy. The results suggested that for a patient with moderate-to-severe eczema and chronic relapsing lesions, maintenance treatment with topical anti-inflammatory therapy twice a week may be a better strategy to prevent eczema flares and topical corticosteroids more effective than topical calcineurin inhibitors. The rationale is that there is inflammation in the underneath layer of skin that is not visible, ie has not presented itself as rash.. #6 Antimicrobials and antiseptics. Bacteria count was reduced and there was significant improvement in mean eczema ...

Background. Benefits of conversion from calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) to mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor-based immunosuppression in long-term kidney transplant patients remain uncertain. Methods. ASCERTAIN was a 24-month, open-label, multicenter study. Kidney transplant patients more than 6 months posttransplant receiving CNI (baseline glomerular filtration rate [GFR] 30-70 mL/min/1.73 m(2)) were randomized to everolimus with CNI elimination (n = 127) or CNI minimization (n = 144), or continued CNI unchanged (controls, n = 123) to assess the effect on measured GFR at month 24 after randomization. Results. Renal function was stable in all groups to month 24. Mean measured GFR at month 24, the primary endpoint, was 48.0 +/- 22.0 mL/min/1.73 m(2), 46.6 +/- 21.1 mL/min/1.73 m(2), and 46.0 +/- 20.4 mL/min/1.73 m(2) in the CNI elimination, CNI minimization, and control groups, respectively. Differences between CNI elimination (1.12 mL/min/1.73 m(2), 95% confidence interval [CI] -3.51 to 5.76, ...

Since first published guideline on the use of direct oral anti-coagulants (DOACs) in non-valvular atrial fibrillation on 2013 till latest update on 2018 (1), DOACs interactions with other drugs are one of the important challenges in their prescribing. By rapid growing number of solid organ transplant recipients the need for anticoagulant therapy among transplant patients is increasing. Based on in vivo studies (2, 3) and clinical reviews (4, 5) on concomitant administration of calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) and DOACs, reassessing the color of interactions in the guideline (1) seems to be necessary. Using midazolam as CYP3A probe showed that cyclosporine inhibits CYP3A stronger than tacrolimus and there is no significant difference in CYP3A inhibition between tacrolimus and control group (2). Same pattern of inhibition is seen with P-glycoprotein (P-gp) pathway (3). Hence, considering cyclosporine as moderate to strong P-gp inhibitor and moderate CYP3A inhibitor and tacrolimus as mild to moderate ...

Subject of this study is the synthesis of easily achievable CsA analogs starting with CsA. These should be inhibitors of cyclophilin without any immunosuppressive action. Furthermore CsA derivatives should be synthesized which do not pass the cell membrane and thus are qualified to selectively inhibit extracellularly occurring cyclophilins. The synthesized derivatives have been tested for their biochemical properties, concerning the inhibition of peptidyl prolyl cis/trans isomerization and calcineurin phosphatase activity, the ability to pass cell membrane, and the NFAT-reporter gen assay, in already evaluated assay-systems. Some of the derivatives shown in this study are potent inhibitors of cyclophilin with distinct reduced immunosuppressed properties and without any inhibition of calcineurin phosphatase activity and they do not pass the cell membrane. Selected CsA analogs shown in this study have been tested in model systems for practical applications ...

Results] We were able to observe 3,622 genes modulated in at least one timepoint in the mutant when compared to the wild type strain (3,211 and 411 at 10 and 30 minutes, respectively). Decreased mRNA abundance in the ΔcrzA was seen for genes encoding calcium transporters, transcription factors and genes that could be directly or indirectly involved in calcium metabolism. Increased mRNA accumulation was observed for some genes encoding proteins involved in stress response. AfCrzA overexpression in A. fumigatus increases the expression of several of these genes. The deleted strain of one of these genes, AfRcnA, belonging to a class of endogenous calcineurin regulators, calcipressins, had more calcineurin activity after exposure to calcium and was less sensitive to menadione 30 μM, hydrogen peroxide 2.5 mM, EGTA 25 mM, and MnCl2 25 mM. We constructed deletion, overexpression, and GFP fusion protein for the closely related A. nidulans AnRcnA. GFP::RcnA was mostly detected along the germling, did ...

Purpose: Calcineurin orchestrates growth, stress responses and virulence in major pathogenic fungi including Aspergillus fumigatus responsible for life-threatening fungal infections worldwide. While these cellular regulatory functions of calcineurin make it an attractive antifungal target, the immunosuppressive effects of the currently available calcineurin inhibitors, FK506 and CsA, make it difficult to exploit the antifungal potential due to conservation of calcineurin in the host and the fungal pathogen. Critical molecular understanding of calcineurin-immunophilin-immunosuppressor complexes would facilitate the design of novel non-immunosuppressive CsA and FK506 analogs for fungal-specific targeting of calcineurin.. Methods: We solved the crystal structure of calcineurin-FK506-FKBP12 complex in A. fumigatus and using site-directed mutagenic approaches, we constructed several mutations in the CnaA catalytic subunit of calcineurin and FKBP12. To identify differences between the A. fumigatus ...

Calcineurin (CN), a calcium- and calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase, plays a significant role in the central nervous system. Previously, we reported that forebrain-specific CN knockout mice (CN mutant mice) have impaired working memory. To further analyze the behavioral effects of CN deficiency, we subjected CN mutant mice to a comprehensive behavioral test battery. Mutant mice showed increased locomotor activity, decreased social interaction, and impairments in prepulse inhibition and latent inhibition. In addition, CN mutant mice displayed an increased response to the locomotor stimulating effects of MK-801. Collectively, the abnormalities of CN mutant mice are strikingly similar to those described for schizophrenia. We propose that alterations affecting CN signaling could comprise a contributing factor in schizophrenia pathogenesis.. ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Negative Cardiovascular Consequences of Small Molecule Immunosuppressants. AU - Chakkera, H. A.. AU - Sharif, A.. AU - Kaplan, B.. PY - 2017/8/1. Y1 - 2017/8/1. N2 - Immunosuppressants are critical after transplantation and prescribed as immune-modulators for autoimmune disorders and glomerulonephritides. Immunosuppressants include large (e.g., thymoglobulin, alemtuzumab, and rituximab) and small molecules (e.g., corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, antimetabolites, and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors). The majority of the small molecules worsen traditional cardiovascular risks. This review describes cardiovascular risks of small molecule immunosuppressants: corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors (tacrolimus and cyclosporine), and mTOR inhibitors (rapamycin), by categorizing these risks into two categories: ischemic heart disease and nonischemic cardiac effects..

New and emerging trends in the treatment of atopic dermatitis Christina M Gelbard1, Adelaide A Hebert1,21Departments of Dermatology; 2Pediatrics, University of Texas-Houston, Houston, TX, USAAbstract: Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition that affects 10% to 20% of children and 1% to 3% of adults in the US. Symptoms often result in sleeplessness, psychological stress, poor self-esteem, anxiety, and poor school or work performance. The cost of atopic dermatitis is estimated to be US$0.9 to 3.8 billion every year. Topical steroids are first-line treatment for atopic dermatitis, and recent advances in vehicle technologies have resulted in improved patient tolerability and compliance. Topical calcineurin inhibitors are also safe and effective topical treatments for atopic dermatitis, and provide an additional therapeutic option for patients with this disease. Systemic immunomodulators are used in the treatment of severe refractory disease. Cyclosporine, methotrexate, azathioprine,

Pulmonary surfactant proteins and lipids are required for lung function after birth. Lung immaturity and resultant surfactant deficiency cause respiratory distress syndrome, a common disorder contributing to morbidity and mortality in preterm infants. Surfactant synthesis increases prior to birth in association with formation of the alveoli that mediate efficient gas exchange. To identify mechanisms controlling perinatal lung maturation, the Calcineurin b1 (Cnb1) gene was deleted in the respiratory epithelium of the fetal mouse. Deletion of Cnb1 caused respiratory failure after birth and inhibited the structural maturation of the peripheral lung. Synthesis of surfactant and a lamellar body-associated protein, ABC transporter A3 (ABCA3), was decreased prior to birth. Nuclear factor of activated T cells (Nfat) calcineurin-dependent 3 (Nfatc3), a transcription factor modulated by calcineurin, was identified as a direct activator of Sftpa, Sftpb, Sftpc, Abca3, Foxa1, and Foxa2 genes. The ...

Calcineruin control over hyphal septation and cell wall biosynthesis. Septa are crucial in hyphal growth as they are the natural dividers in the growing hyphae, critical for continued growth and compartmentalization of cellular function. We were the first group to establish that both calcineurin subunits are stably present in the developing A. fumigatus hyphal septum, sitting as disks on each side of the septum. Calcineurin deletion mutants create septal defects and miscues in cellular metabolism. The hyphal septa is also a prime example of how important cell wall biosynthesis is for the organism. The cell wall serves as the leading point for the growing and invading hyphae as well as the first contact point with the host. The cell wall functions as both a structural component to hold the cell together as well as a scaffold for countless cellular functions. We have shown that calcineurin controls cell wall metabolism, and now we are working on uncovering the exact molecular mechanisms of ...

Promotes the induction of hematopoietic stem cell differentiation toward megakaryocytic lineage. Essential for the coupling of ERK cascade activation with the expression of ETS family genes in megakaryocytic differentiation. Also involved in granulocytic differentiation in a ERK-dependent manner. Inhibits the phosphatase activity of calcineurin.

Certain immune-suppressing drugs, such as those taken by patients who have had organ transplants, greatly increase the risk of developing diabetes. These drugs are known to put a stranglehold on a protein called calcineurin.. So its not exactly a surprise that Seung Kim, MD, PhD, assistant professor of developmental biology at the Stanford University School of Medicine, chose to study why calcineurin inhibition leads to the disease. What is surprising is just how central calcineurin turns out to be in the health and happiness of the insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells. His findings, to be published in the Sept. 21 issue of Nature, could shake up diabetes research, lead to new classes of diabetes drugs and aid in efforts to develop stem cell treatments for diabetes.. This work has the potential to be big, said Scott Campbell, PhD, vice president of research for the American Diabetes Association. He said that drugs based on this research could potentially expand the numbers of the few beta ...

FUNCTION: [Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] This gene encodes a member of the regulator of calcineurin (RCAN) protein family. These proteins play a role in many physiological processes by binding to the catalytic domain of calcineurin A, inhibiting calcineurin-mediated nuclear translocation of the transcription factor NFATC1. Expression of this gene in skin fibroblasts is upregulated by thyroid hormone, and the encoded protein may also play a role in endothelial cell function and angiogenesis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011 ...

TMEM110, also designated as STIMATE (for STIM-activating enhancer), is an ER-resident multi-transmembrane protein identified through a proteomic study on the ER-PM junctions. The ER-PM junctions are defined as specialized junctional sites, also known as membrane contact sites, that connect the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the plasma membrane (PM), and are closely implicated in controlling lipid and calcium homeostasis in mammalian cells. TMEM110 is a positive modulator of calcium flux mediated by the STIM-ORAI signaling in vertebrates. STIMATE can physically associate with STIM1 to promote conformational switch of STIM1 from inactive toward an activated state, thereby coupling to and gating the ORAI calcium channels on the plasma membrane. Depletion of TMEM110 with RNAi knockdown or Cas9-mediated gene disruption substantially reduces the puncta formation of STIM1 at ER-PM junctions and remarkably inhibits the calcium/calcineurin/NFAT signaling axis. More genetic and biochemical studies are ...

Our results demonstrate that overexpression of mCAT protects mice from cardiac aging, providing direct evidence for the role of mitochondrial ROS in the aging of this vital organ. Several lines of evidence support this conclusion. In WT mice from the longevity cohort, we found age-dependent LV hypertrophy and a decline in cardiac performance (especially diastolic function), concomitant with the accumulation of oxidized mitochondrial proteins, mtDNA mutations, increased ventricular fibrosis, cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, a decline in SERCA2 protein, and activation of the calcineurin-NFAT pathway in the aged heart. These age-related alterations took place in the absence of significant cardiovascular risks such as diabetes, hypertension, or hypercholesterolemia, suggesting that these findings are primary changes of cardiac aging rather than secondary to other diseases. mCAT littermates were partially protected from all of the above age-related cardiac alterations, suggesting that these aging changes ...

One of the most promising agents…

In this study, it was shown that IL-4-mediated signals were strikingly but transiently inhibited by TCR engagement of naive T cells. This inhibition involved triggering of both the PKC-MAPK and calcineurin pathways. It has recently been reported by Ivashkiv and colleagues that the IL-2 signal was inhibited by TCR engagement in preactivated T cells and the inhibition was mediated by the PKC-MAPK pathway (35). We have also checked the IL-4 signal in activated cells and observed results quite similar to those described above for naive T cells (data not shown). In addition, we found that the IL-2 signal was also inhibited by TCR engagement in naive T cells. McMahon and colleagues have shown that sustained activation of the Raf-MEK-ERK pathway elicited cytokine unresponsiveness in T cells (46). These results are consistent in indicating that MAPK plays an important role in the cross-talk between TCR and cytokine signals. Our data further show that although MAPK activation is necessary, it is not ...

Gene Information The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the immunophilin protein family which play a role in immunoregulation and basic cellular processes involving protein folding and trafficking. This encoded protein is a cis-trans prolyl isomerase that binds to the immunosuppressants FK506 and rapamycin. It is thought to mediate calcineurin inhibition. It also interacts functionally with mature hetero-oligomeric progesterone receptor complexes along with the 90 kDa heat shock protein and P23 protein. This gene has been found to have multiple polyadenylation sites. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq Mar 2009]. ...

GATA-3 is necessary for the development of MHC class II-restricted CD4 T cells, and its expression is increased during positive selection of these cells. TCR signals drive this upregulation, but the signaling pathways that control this process are not well understood. Using genetic and pharmacological approaches, we show that GATA-3 upregulation during thymocyte-positive selection is the result of additive inputs from the Ras/MAPK and calcineurin pathways. This upregulation requires the presence of the transcription factor c-Myb. Furthermore, we show that TH-POK can also upregulate GATA-3 in double-positive thymocytes, suggesting the existence of a positive feedback loop that contributes to lock in the initial commitment to the CD4 lineage during differentiation. ...

However, depending on the amplitude of the Ca2+ signal as well as the condition of the cell, Ca2+ can also initiate apoptosis as a consequence of organelle disruption, free radical production, and the activation of Ca2+-dependent phosphatases and proteases such as calcineurin and calpain (96).. The release of Ca2+ from the ER is a critical early event for the initiation of apoptosis induced by many apoptotic signals (115). The sensitivity of a cell to such apoptotic stimuli appears to be largely dependent on the ER Ca2+ load, with a high resting ER Ca2+ concentration sensitizing cells to apoptotic stimuli and a low ER Ca2+ concentration conferring resistance. Once released into the cytosol, Ca2+ is rapidly adsorbed by mitochondria that can trigger apoptotic responses by disrupting the mitochondrial respiratory chain and generating reactive oxygen species or by opening the PTP (122).. The original finding that Bcl-2 affected Ca2+ signaling was discovered over a decade ago. In these studies, Bcl-2 ...

ES increased expression of Hey1 and Pitx2 suggesting increased Notch and Wnt signaling, respectively, but did not normalize RCAN1.4, a measure of calcineurin/NFAT signaling, or PGC-1ß mRNA levels. ES increased PGC-1α expression but not that of slow myofibrillar genes. Microarray analysis showed that after ES, genes coding for calcium binding proteins and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors were increased, and the expression of genes involved in blood vessel formation and morphogenesis was altered. Of the 165 genes altered by ES only 16 were also differentially expressed after GA, of which 12 were altered in the same direction by ES and GA. In contrast to ES, GA induced expression of genes related to oxidative phosphorylation ...

The basis for increased mortality after heart transplantation in African Americans and other non-Caucasian racial groups is poorly defined. We hypothesized that increased risk of adverse events is driven by biologic factors. To test this hypothesis in the Invasive Monitoring Attenuation through Gene Expression (IMAGE) study, we determined whether the event rate of the primary outcome of acute rejection, graft dysfunction, death, or retransplantation varied by race as a function of calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) levels and gene expression profile (GEP) scores.We determined the event rate of the primary outcome, comparing racial groups, stratified by time after transplant. Logistic regression was used to compute the relative risk across racial groups, and linear modeling was used to measure the dependence of CNI levels and GEP score on race.In 580 patients monitored for a median of 19 months, the incidence of the primary end point was 18.3% in African Americans, 22.2% in other non-Caucasians, and ...

In this issue of JAMA Dermatology, Speeckaert and colleagues report that levels of the soluble CD25 and CD27 molecules (sCD25 and sCD27) are elevated in the serum of patients with active vitiligo compared with patients with stable disease. In addition, sCD25 levels were found to be significantly lower in the serum of patients being treated with topical immunosuppressants (including steroids and calcineurin inhibitors) and the serum level of sCD27 was significantly lower in patients with recent repigmentation, suggesting a potential to use these as biomarkers to monitor treatment responses. Interestingly, the authors continued to prospectively study a relatively large number of participants and demonstrated that serum levels of both sCD25 and sCD27 were associated with disease progression during follow-up. These important findings suggest that monitoring of these markers in the serum of patients with vitiligo may provide a glimpse into what is happening in the skin, a process that is not obvious by

Emory scientists have identified troublemaker cells-present in some patients before kidney transplantation-that are linked to immune rejection after transplant. Their results could guide transplant specialists in the future by helping to determine which drug regimens would be best for different groups of patients. Eventually, the findings could lead to new treatments that improve short- and long-term outcomes.. Transplant patients used to have no choice but to take non-specific drugs to prevent immune rejection of their new kidneys. While these drugs, called calcineurin inhibitors, are effective at preventing early rejection, they lack specificity for the immune system and ironically can damage the very kidneys they are intended to protect. In addition, their side effects lead to higher rates of high blood pressure, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, ultimately shortening the life of the transplant recipient. This changed with the advent of costimulation blockers, which avoid these harmful ...

The biological mechanisms that sculpt the fine structure of the adult brain and their alterations in neurodegenerative diseases remain largely unknown. In this report we demonstrated that Aβ neurotoxic damage can be prevented or even reversed by inhibiting calcineurin-mediated activation of NFAT. Importantly, the same profound morphological changes occur when a constitutively active form of the transcription factor NFAT is introduced. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that the neurotoxic effects of Aβ are mediated, at least in part, by the transcriptional activation of NFAT downstream target genes. Although the contribution of NFAT to neurological function or dysfunction has received little attention, recent findings have demonstrated a role of NFAT in synaptic plasticity during development (Nguyen and Di Giovanni, 2008; Schwartz et al., 2009). Moreover, NFAT shows an abnormal nuclear accumulation in the brains of AD patients (Wu et al., 2010), which directly correlates with the ...
