Cyclosporine A Downregulates Selenoprotein P Expression via a Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3-Forkhead Box Protein O1 Pathway in Hepatocytes In Vitro.

Cyclosporine A (CsA) is an immunosuppressant applied worldwide for preventing graft rejection and autoimmune diseases. However, CsA elevates oxidative stress, which can lead to liver injuries. The present study aimed to clarify the mechanisms underlying the CsA-mediated oxidative stress.
