ABSTRACT
Intracellular calcium signaling is crucial for type 2 helper T cell and mast cell activation, which is essential for allergic inflammation. It is initiated by antigen-mediated receptor stimulation that triggers store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) via ORAI1 calcium channel. Flos Magnoliae (FM) is widely used to treat allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis and asthma. Although many studies have reported that FM regulates intracellular calcium signaling, research on the exact type of calcium channel modulated by FM is scarce. Therefore, we hypothesized that the anti-allergic effects of FM might result from ORAI1 inhibition in T cells. We investigated whether a 70% ethanolic extract of FM (FMEtOH) and its constituents inhibit ORAI1 channel activity and subsequent T cell activation. We performed conventional whole-cell patch clamp studies in hSTIM1 and hORAI1-overexpressing HEK293T cells (HEKORAI1). Intracellular calcium concentration was determined using Fura-2 dye and cytokine production measurement in Jurkat T lymphocytes. FMEtOH (0.03 mg/mL) and its fractions, especially hexane fraction (FMHex, 0.01 mg/mL), significantly inhibited SOCE and IL-2 cytokine production in Jurkat T lymphocytes. GC/MS analysis showed linoleic acid (LA) as the major component of FMHex. FMHex at 0.01 mg/mL (equivalent to 10 µM LA) inhibited not only SOCE but also IL-2 production, as well as CD3/CD28 receptor co-stimulation induced calcium signaling in Jurkat T lymphocytes. FMEtOH and LA suppressed CD4+ T lymphocyte activation, at least in part, by inhibiting ISOCE. Thus, ISOCE inhibition may be a potential strategy to inhibit immune responses in inflammation.
