The calcium release-activated calcium (CRAC\/ORAI) channels, which act upstream of calcineurin, are essential for calcium entry and CD4+ T-cell activation. Although cyclosporine A has also been shown to inhibit FoxP3+ Tregs both in vitro and in vivo, the role of ORAI channel inhibition in natural Tregs (nTregs) or inducible Tregs (iTregs) has not been investigated. We found that, despite inhibition of calcium influx through the ORAI channels, ORAI channel inhibitors were unable to repress FoxP3 expression in mouse and human nTregs, whereas FoxP3 expression was inhibited in iTregs. In contrast, cyclosporin A inhibited FoxP3 expression in both nTregs and iTregs. We also generated mice with a T cell-specific, conditional knockout of ORAI1 and found that the mice have normal nTreg development and suppressive activity. Moreover, iTregs derived from ORAI1 conditional knockout mice develop normally and are still susceptible to ORAI channel inhibition. Our data indicate that unlike CD4+ T cells and iTregs, nTregs are resistant to ORAI-mediated inhibition. Targeting ORAI channels potentially offers a novel way to inhibit pathologic T cells, while sparing nTreg-mediated tolerance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/intimm\/dxt013","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,5,11]],"date-time":"2013-05-11T00:16:56Z","timestamp":1368231416000},"page":"497-506","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Natural regulatory T cells are resistant to calcium release-activated calcium (CRAC\/ORAI) channel inhibition"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Shu","family":"Jin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Inflammation Discovery Therapeutic Area, Hoffmann La-Roche, pRED, Nutley, NJ 07302, USA 1"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jayne","family":"Chin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Inflammation Discovery Therapeutic Area, Hoffmann La-Roche, pRED, Nutley, NJ 07302, USA 1"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christopher","family":"Kitson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Inflammation Discovery Therapeutic Area, Hoffmann La-Roche, pRED, Nutley, NJ 07302, USA 1"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Woods","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Inflammation Discovery Therapeutic Area, Hoffmann La-Roche, pRED, Nutley, NJ 07302, USA 1"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rupal","family":"Majmudar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Translation Research Science, Hoffmann La-Roche, pRED 2 , Nutley, NJ 07302 , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Valerie","family":"Carvajal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Translation Research Science, Hoffmann La-Roche, pRED 2 , Nutley, NJ 07302 , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Allard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Translation Research Science, Hoffmann La-Roche, pRED 2 , Nutley, NJ 07302 , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julie","family":"DeMartino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Inflammation Discovery Therapeutic Area, Hoffmann La-Roche, pRED, Nutley, NJ 07302, USA 1"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Satwant","family":"Narula","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Inflammation Discovery Therapeutic Area, Hoffmann La-Roche, pRED, Nutley, NJ 07302, USA 1"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dori A.","family":"Thomas-Karyat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Inflammation Discovery Therapeutic Area, Hoffmann La-Roche, pRED, Nutley, NJ 07302, USA 1"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,5,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022093019544480700_CIT0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1661","DOI":"10.2215\/CJN.03180509","article-title":"Immunosuppressive drugs and Tregs: a critical evaluation!","volume":"4","author":"De Serres","year":"2009","journal-title":"Clin.
