Glossary Cyclosporine

immunosuppressive drug used to prevent organ rejection and treat autoimmune diseases

Cyclosporine, also known as cyclosporin A or CsA, is an immunosuppressive drug primarily used to prevent organ transplant rejection and to treat certain autoimmune conditions. It works by inhibiting the activity of T-cells, a type of white blood cell involved in the immune response. In dermatology, cyclosporine has been explored for its potential to treat severe cases of alopecia areata, a condition characterized by sudden hair loss.

research Cyclosporin: applications in small animal dermatology

59 citations , February 2003 in “Veterinary Dermatology”

This narrative review discusses the use of cyclosporin for various skin diseases in small animals and notes minimal side effects at therapeutic doses, but reports no original clinical findings.

research Cyclosporin A-induced hair growth in mice is associated with inhibition of calcineurin-dependent activation of NFAT in follicular keratinocytes

57 citations , June 2003 in “American Journal of Physiology-cell Physiology”

This study found that cyclosporin A treatment enhances hair growth in mice by inhibiting calcineurin-NFAT1 activity, which alters keratinocyte differentiation and apoptosis-related gene expression in hair follicles.
