Hepatic ischemia is a complication of liver surgery that involves mitochondrial dysfunction resulting from the opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pores (mPTP). Cyclophiline D (PPIF or CypD) is a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase that regulates the mPTP opening in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

The teams of Bijan Ghaleh and Jean-Michel Pawlotsky, in collaboration with the Centre de Biochimie Structurale de Montpellier, have just published an article in the excellent journal Gastroenterology (IF 2018/19 : 19.233), where we learn that inhibitors of small cyclophiline molecules block the opening of the transition pore from mitochondrial permeability and protect mice from ischemia-reperfusion hepatic damage.
