NJK14047 inhibition of p38 MAPK ameliorates inflammatory immune diseases by suppressing T cell differentiation

p38 MAPK has been implicated in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. To assess the therapeutic efficacy of the p38 MAPK inhibitor NJK14047 in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis, we developed mouse models of collagen-induced rheumatoid arthritis (CIA) and imiquimod-induced psoriasis (IIP). NJK14047 was found to suppress arthritis development and psoriasis symptoms and also suppressed histopathological changes induced by CIA and IIP. Furthermore, we established that CIA and IIP evoked increases in the mRNA expression levels of Th1/Th17 inflammatory cytokines in the joints and skin, which was again suppressed by NJK14047. NJK14047 reversed the enlargement of spleens induced by CIA and IIP as well as increases in the levels of inflammatory cytokine in spleens following induction by CIA and IIP. In human SW982 synovial cells, NJK14047 was found to suppress lipopolysaccharide-induced increases in the mRNA expression of proinflammatory cytokines. NJK14047 inhibition of p38 MAPK suppressed the differentiation of naïve T cells to Th17 and Th1 cells. Our findings in this study provide convincing evidence indicating the therapeutic efficacy of the p38 MAPK inhibitor NJK14047 against CIA and IIP, which we speculate could be associated with the suppression on T-cell differentiation.
