    Abstract Introduction: The Janus kinase family includes four members - JAK1, JAK2, JAK3, TYK2 - that are selectively associated with type I and II cytokine receptors. Jak-inhibitors (Jakinibs) are a new class of drugs for treating inflammatory diseases. Five Jakinibs are currently available for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, filgotinib and peficitinib. Considering the role of cytokines and growth factors in immune cell survival and activation, the anti-proliferative and suppressive effects of Jakinibs on these cells are predictable.
    Areas covered: This review summarizes Jakinibs' effects on immune populations

    Abstract Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystemic autoimmune disorder characterized by flares-ups/remissions with a complex clinical picture related to disease severity and organ/tissue injury, which, if left untreated, may result in permanent damage. Enhanced fatigue and pain perception, worsened quality of life (QoL) and outcome are constant, albeit symptoms may differ. An aberrant SLE immunoprofiling, note as "interferon (IFN)α-signature", is acknowledged to break immunotolerance. Recently, a deregulated "IFNγ-signature" is suggested to silently precede/trigger IFNα profile before clinical manifestations. IFNα- and IFNγ-over-signaling merge in cytokine/chemokine overexpression exacerbating autoimmunity. Remission achievement and QoL improvement are the main goals. The current therapy (i.e., corticosteroids, immunosuppressants) aims to downregulate immune over-response. Exercise could be a safe treatment due to its ever-emerging ability to shape and re-balance immune system without harmful side-effects; in addition, it improves cardiorespiratory capacity and musculoskeletal strength/power, usually impaired in SLE. Nevertheless, exercise is not yet included in SLE care plans. Furthermore, due to the fear to worsening pain/fatigue, SLE subjects experience kinesiophobia and sedentary lifestyle, worsening physical health. Training SLE patients to exercise is mandatory to fight inactive behavior and ameliorate health. This review aims to focus the attention on the role of exercise as a non-pharmacological therapy in SLE, considering its ability to mitigate IFN-signature and rebalance (auto)immune response. To this purpose, the significance of IFNα- and IFNγ-signaling in SLE etiopathogenesis will be addressed first and discussed thereafter as biotarget of exercise. Comments are addressed on the need to make aware all SLE care professional figures to promote exercise for health patients.

    Abstract Although the rapid onset of effect of glucocorticoids (GCs) allows rapid control of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) symptoms, their chronic use may be associated with several adverse events. The 2022 update of EUALR recommendations for the management of patients with RA suggests to reduce and discontinue oral GCs as quickly as possible. Considering GCs as a "bridging therapy" to promptly reduce symptoms and control inflammation, fast-acting drugs such as tofacitinib could allow faster and safer tapering of GCs. The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the steroid-sparing effect of adding tofacitinib in patients with RA inadequately responsive to methotrexate taking concomitant GCs. In this open-label pilot study, we enrolled patients with moderate to severe RA on a stable dose of prednisone (5-12.5 mg/day) who started treatment with tofacitinib. After 1 month, in patients who achieved at least a moderate EULAR response (decrease of > 1.2 in DAS28_CRP), GCs was tapered according to a predetermined schedule until complete discontinuation at week 12. Disease activity was assessed after 4, 12, 24 and 48 weeks of treatment. The primary endpoint was the percentage of patients discontinuing GCs after 12 weeks of tofacitinib treatment. We enrolled 30 patients (26 F: 4 M, mean age 60 ± 13 years, mean disease duration 13.2 ± 7.8 years). The primary endpoint was achieved: 9 patients (30%) discontinued GCs at week-12. At week-24, other 12 patients (46%) withdrew GCs. The median prednisone dose decreased from 5 mg/day (interquartile range 5-10 mg) to 2.5 (0-5) mg/day at week 12 and 48 (p < 0.00001 vs baseline). At week 48, 12 out of 30 patients (40%) had discontinued prednisone. The percentage of patients achieving remission or low disease activity increased throughout the follow-up without any difference between patients who discontinued or not the GC. In this cohort of long-standing RA patients treated with tofacitinib, the discontinuation of glucocorticoids was achievable in up to 30% of patients. These results should encourage rheumatologists to consider GCs tapering and discontinuation of GCs, as suggested by the 2022 EULAR recommendations, an achievable goal.

    Abstract Several cytokines involved in inflammatory pathologies signal via the Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription pathway. Four JAKs are known: JAK1, JAK2, JAK3 and TYK2. The specific activation of JAKs and STATs determines the biological effects of each cytokine. JAK1 is involved in the signalling of 'γc' receptor cytokines (IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-15 and IL-21), pro-inflammatory cytokines including IL-6, as well as IFN. The critical position of JAK1 downstream of these cytokines suggests that JAK1-selective inhibitors are comparable to non-selective ones, without the unwanted consequences of JAK2- or JAK3-blockade. JAK inhibition has led to a better understanding of the biology of synovial inflammation and bone homeostasis. Moreover, the efficacy of non-selective JAK inhibitors and novel JAK1-selective drugs in RA supports a role for JAK1 in its pathogenesis. JAK1-selective drugs are also showing promise in axial spondyloarthritis, suggesting that they may target additional regulatory pathways that impact cytokines such as TNF and IL-17A, which do not use JAKs. Additionally, evidence now supports a JAK1 predominance in the signalling of IL-6 and oncostatin M, and indirectly, of TNF in synovial fibroblasts, macrophages and endothelial cells. Notably, bone homeostasis is also dependent on cytokines relying on JAK1 signalling to promote receptor activator of NF-κB ligand expression in osteoblasts and T cells, contributing to osteoclastogenesis. Here, the contribution of JAK1 over other kinases is unclear. While beneficial effects of JAK inhibitors on bone erosion are supported by preclinical and clinical data, effects on new bone formation in axial spondyloarthritis requires additional study.

    Abstract The European Journal of Immunology was launched 50 years ago, coinciding with the discovery of many cytokines and growth factors and the emergence of an entirely new field of research. Ultimately, our knowledge about the biological activity of these factors allowed us to better understand how the immune system functions in the context of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases leading to the development of targeted biologic therapies. The study of cytokine signal transduction led to the discovery of Janus kinases (JAK), and the consideration of therapeutically targeting JAKs to treat immune and inflammatory diseases. This year also marks the tenth anniversary of the approval of the first JAK inhibitor (jakinib) and now there are a total of nine approved jakinibs for treatment of rheumatologic, dermatologic, gastrointestinal, and neoplastic indications and most recently COVID-19. Here, we summarized the discoveries that led to development of first-generation jakinibs, discussed some of the newer, possibly more selective jakinibs, as well as jakinibs that also target other kinases. We also illustrated the rationale behind the application of these drugs in the treatment of COVID-19 cytokine storm. In this review, we will discuss the clinical success of jakinibs, the gaps in our understanding of their biological activities as well as challenges in regard to their clinical application.
