Summary CRAC channels (ORAI1, STIM1, STIM2) in CD4+ T cells: Essential for Ca2+ influx Induction of IBD Th1 and Th17 function: production of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-22, IFNg, TNFa) in the gut Terminal Th17 differentiation Severity of IBD correlates with levels of Ca2+ influx and cytokine production Induced genetic deletion of STIM1 in T cells mimics CRAC inhibitors and leads to rapid recovery from IBD S. typhi.
