Understanding the pathogenic significance of altered calcium-calmodulin signaling in T cells in autoimmune diseases

Copyright © 2023. Published by Elsevier Inc..

Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IV (CaMK4) serves as a pivotal mediator in the regulation of gene expression, influencing the activity of transcription factors within a variety of immune cells, including T cells. Altered CaMK4 signaling is implicated in autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis, which are characterized by dysregulated immune responses and clinical complexity. These conditions share common disturbances in immune cell functionality, cytokine production, and autoantibody generation, all of which are associated with disrupted calcium-calmodulin signaling. This review underscores the consequences of dysregulated CaMK4 signaling across these diseases, with an emphasis on its impact on Th17 differentiation and T cell metabolism-processes central to maintaining immune homeostasis. A comprehensive understanding of roles of CaMK4 in gene regulation across various autoimmune disorders holds promise for the development of targeted therapies, particularly for diseases driven by Th17 cell dysregulation.
