Polyfunctional IL-21 + IFNγ + T follicular helper cells contribute to checkpoint inhibitor diabetes mellitus and can be targeted by JAK inhibitor therapy. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
Moreover, JAKi therapy impaired Tfh cell differentiation in patients with ICI-T1DM. These studies highlight CD4 + Tfh cells as underrecognized but critical mediators of ICI-T1DM that may be targeted with JAKi to prevent this grave IrAE.

Efficacy and safety of Tumour necrosis factor inhibitors, Interleukin-17 inhibitors, and Janus kinase inhibitors in patients with non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis: A systematic review and network meta-analysis. (PubMed, Int Arch Allergy Immunol)
Most TNFi could be more effective than JAKi and IL-17i. The safety of the therapies is generally good. However, the efficacy and safety of TNFi/IL-17i/JAKi remains to be further analyzed in studies with larger sample size and longer follow-up times.

In turn, the results indicate that the anti-asthmatic action induced by the studied agents is not mediated by the generation of forkhead box protein 3-expressing CD4+ regulatory T cells. Clinical implication of the the results suggest that MMF and TFB may exert anti-asthmatic action, and thus they may be considered therapeutic options for the treatment of allergic asthma cases resistant to conventional/existing treatment.

Yinjia pills inhibits the malignant biological behavior of HeLa cells through PKM2-medicated inhibition of JAK/STAT3 pathway. (PubMed, Cytotechnology)
Angoline, a JAK/STAT3 pathway inhibitor, attenuated the effect of PKM2 overexpression on the efficacy of YJP. In conclusion, YJP can inhibit the activation of the JAK/STAT3 pathway by regulating PKM2, thereby inhibiting the malignant biological behavior of HeLa cells.

JAK Inhibitors for Myelofibrosis: Strengths and Limitations. (PubMed, Curr Hematol Malig Rep)
Recently, there has been increased efforts to optimize treatment with the development of highly selective JAK inhibitors, as well as use of combination agents to counter disease resistance through targeting aberrant signaling pathways. Treatment of MF patients with JAKi therapy can be challenging but the development of more potent and selective JAK inhibitors, as well as combination therapies, represent exciting treatment advances in this field.

Does Concomitant Use of Methotrexate with JAK Inhibition Confer Benefit for Cardiovascular Outcomes? A Commentary. (PubMed, Rheumatol Ther)
In particular, the lipid paradox associated with RA highlights the complex relationship between RA treatments (MTX, JAKis, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors, and interleukin (IL)-6 receptor inhibitors), inflammation, different lipid profiles, and CV risk. In the absence of contraindications and when MTX is tolerated, this commentary suggests the concomitant use of MTX and JAKis as a preferred option for optimizing CV protection in patients with RA.

Maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells by tyrosine-unphosphorylated STAT5 and JAK inhibition. (PubMed, Blood Adv)
The JAK1/2 inhibitor, ruxolitinib, which increased the uSTAT5:pSTAT5 ratio, had similar effects on murine HSC function: it constrained HSC differentiation and proliferation, promoted HSC maintenance and upregulated transcriptional programs associated with stemness...Our results therefore reveal a previously unrecognized interplay between pSTAT5 and uSTAT5 in the control of HSC function and highlight JAK inhibition as a potential strategy for enhancing HSC function during ex vivo culture. Increased levels of uSTAT5 may also contribute to the failure of JAK inhibitors to eradicate myeloproliferative neoplasms.

How I individualize selection of JAK inhibitors for patients with myelofibrosis. (PubMed, Blood)
Ruxolitinib and fedratinib can cause myelosuppression and are recommended for patients with myeloproliferative MF. Approval of 2 less myelosuppressive JAKi, pacritinib and momelotinib, provided essential treatment options for patients with severe thrombocytopenia and anemia, respectively...Judicious treatment decisions of JAKi can be made with in-depth understanding of the pivotal clinical trials on JAKi and their therapeutic attributes and should be guided by the dominant clinical manifestations and the type/degree of cytopenia(s). This article reviews our clinical approach to treatment with JAKi and their sequencing in MF patients by presenting 3 clinical vignettes.

Inhibition of CEACAM1 expression in cytokine-activated neutrophils using JAK inhibitors. (PubMed, BMC Immunol)
We demonstrated that JAKi prevent GM-CSF-induced CEACAM1 expression in neutrophils, and JAKi-induced inhibition depends on their selectivity against JAK isoforms. These findings suggest that JAKi can modulate the expression of CEACAM1 in cytokine-activated neutrophils, thereby limiting their activation.

Janus kinase inhibitor monotherapy and combination therapies for myelofibrosis: what's the current standard of care? (PubMed, Expert Rev Hematol)
In order to potentially increase clinical benefit for patients with MF, several novel agents are being partnered with ruxolitinib (RUX) with the ongoing hypothesis to augment greater measures of MF disease modification. The novel agents are either 'added-on' to RUX or as a combo in JAKi naïve patients. Also, the mutant-targeting era of therapies is now beginning with novel CALR-mutated, novel JAK2 V617F mutation-specific and type II JAK2i in the initial stages of drug development, representing a new approach to treatment.

Review of Janus Kinase Inhibitors as Therapies for Noninfectious Uveitis. (PubMed, J Ocul Pharmacol Ther)
The JAK/signal transducers and activators of the transcription (STAT) signaling pathway mediate the downstream events involved in immune fitness, tissue repair, inflammation, apoptosis, and adipogenesis by binding various ligands, such as cytokines, growth hormones, and growth factors. The mutation or loss of JAK/STAT components is implicated in autoimmune diseases, thus inhibition of such pathways has been an important area of research in therapeutic development.1 In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the efficacy and safety of JAK inhibitors for the management of NIU, with evidence from current trials and case reports.

Inhibition of JAK/STAT3 Expression by Acute Myeloid Leukemia-Targeted Nanoliposome for Chemotherapy Enhancement. (PubMed, ACS Omega)
The surface modification of liposomes with the CD34 antibody, along with the inclusion of the SAR317461 and cytarabine (a common AML chemotherapeutic agent), is observed. Due to the high expression of CD34 on the surface of AML cells, the nanoliposome could target AML cells specifically, further achieving an effective treatment for AML through the synergistic effect of JAK2/STAT3 inhibitors and chemotherapeutic agents. The implementation of this project will provide more theoretical support and ideas for the clinical application of JAK/STAT3 inhibitors in malignant tumors and for overcoming chemotherapy resistance.

Small Molecule Therapy for Inflammatory Bowel Disease: JAK Inhibitors and S1PR Modulators (PubMed, Korean J Gastroenterol)
Tofacitinib and filgotinib are approved for treating ulcerative colitis (UC), while upadacitinib is approved for UC and Crohn's disease. Ozanimod and etrasimod are S1PRMs approved for the treatment of UC, but they can cause side effects such as bradycardia, conduction disorder, and macular edema. Overall, JAK inhibitors and S1PRMs offer significant benefits in managing IBD, although their potential side effects require careful monitoring.
