Cyclosporin A inhibits mitochondrial biogenesis in Hep G2 cells.
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications 2018 Februrary 13
Dysregulation of mitochondrial biogenesis is associated with pathogenesis in many diseases, including liver diseases. Cyclosporine A (CsA), one of the most commonly used drug to treat many autoimmune diseases and to prevent allograft rejection after organ transplantation, has been reported to cause mitochondrial dysfunction. However, the cellular mechanisms underlying CsA on mitochondrial dysfunction remain at present not completely elucidated. In this study, we found that CsA reduced the expression of PGC-1α at both the mRNA and protein levels in HepG2 cells. Correspondingly, the expressions of its target genes NRF 1 and TFAM were reduced in response to CsA treatment. In addition, mtDNA/nDNA, mitochondria mass, ATP production, and cytochrome C oxidase activity were significantly reduced by treatment with CsA. Over-expression of PGC-1α was found to rescue the negative effect of CsA administration on mitochondrial biogenesis. Mechanistically, CREB was involved in the inhibitory effects of CsA in mitochondrial biogenesis.
