Abstract
<jats:title>Significance</jats:title>
<jats:p>Cyclosporine A was one of the first drugs used in clinical practice to successfully rescue glucocorticoid-resistant inflammatory diseases. In this article we extend the characterization of glucocorticoid-resistant human Th17 cells, and demonstrate that this effector memory T-cell subset is reciprocally attenuated by cyclosporine A. This therapeutic paradigm was confirmed in a murine model of autoimmunity, refining our understanding of cyclosporine A’s effect on the adaptive immune response. These data support the rationale for Th17-targeting therapies in the treatment of glucocorticoid-resistant inflammation.</jats:p>
