Inhibition of JAK/STAT signalling pathway in rheumatoid synovial fibroblasts using small molecule compounds
Clin Exp Immunol. 2013 Aug 23. doi: 10.1111/cei.12190
Current JAK inhibitors CP-690,550 and INCB020850 have inhibitory effects on multiple JAK pathways, therefore Migita et al. tested whether selective inhibition of JAK3, using PF-956980, would be enough to ameliorate the rheumatoid inflammatory process. The results indicated that the inhibition of JAK3 alone is does not achieve control of STAT3-dependent signalling, and while it is suggested that the targeting of singular JAK pathways should lead to fewer adverse events, it appears that this appro...
