Inhibition of Arachidonic Acid Release by Cytosolic Phospholipase A2 Is Involved in the Antiapoptotic Effect of FK506 and Cyclosporin A on Astrocytes Exposed to Simulated Ischemia In Vitro

In the present study, we investigated whether the protective effect of FK506 and cyclosporin A (CsA) against in vitro ischemic injury of astrocytes might be mediated through attenuation of cytosolic isoform of phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) expression and activity as well as inhibition of arachidonic acid...
