Store‐operated calcium entry controls innate and adaptive immune cell function in inflammatory bowel disease by Marilena Letizia, Yin‐Hu Wang, Ulrike Kaufmann, Lorenz Gerbeth, Annegret Sand, Max Brunkhorst, Patrick Weidner, Jörn Felix Ziegler, Chotima Böttcher, Stephan Schlickeiser, Camila Fernández, Megumi Yamashita, Kenneth Stauderman, Katherine Sun, Désirée Kunkel, Murali Prakriya, IBDome Researchers, Ashley Sanders, Britta Siegmund, Stefan Feske, Carl Weidinger

“…We observed that the pharmacologic inhibition of SOCE attenuated the production of proinflammatory cytokines including IL‐2, IL‐4, IL‐6, IL‐17A, TNF, and IFNγ by human colonic T cells and ILCs, reduced the production of IL‐6 by B cells and the production of IFNγ by myeloid cells, but had no effect on the viability, differentiation, and function of intestinal epithelial cells. T cell‐specific deletion of CRAC channel genes in mice showed that Orai1, Stim1, and Stim2‐deficient T cells have quantitatively distinct defects in SOCE, which correlate with gradually more pronounced impairment of cytokine production by Th1 and Th17 cells and the severity of IBD. …”
