Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA), a disease resistant to other immunosuppressive agents, is responsive to CsA treatment [49]. The response to CsA in patients with pemphigus and bullous pemphigoid is associated with a decrease in serum titers of autoantibodies and a decrease in immune deposits in the skin. A similar decrease in serum autoantibodies was not noted in EBA [16], and the precise mechanism by which CsA ameliorates EBA is unknown. Alopecia Areata. Hypertrichosis is a common side effect of CsA therapy and thus became of interest in the treatment of alopecia.

IL-2R activation. T cell responses requiring signaling through the TCR-CD3 complex, as in primary and secondary mixed lymphocyte response, MLR and autologous MLR, are sensitive to CsA. CsA also inhibits T cell proliferation induced by mitogenic lectins, superantigens, cross-linking CD2 on the T cell surface, or by the combination of phorbol12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA),an activator of protein kinase C,and the calcium ionophore, ionomycin. Interestingly, each of these CsA-sensitive pathways is associated with an initial rise in intracellular calcium, suggesting that a common intermediate may be the molecular target of this drug.
