Exploring the Novel Dimension of Immune Interactions in Pain: JAK Inhibitors' Pleiotropic Potential.
Life 2023 September 30
This review explores the link between immune interactions and chronic pain, offering new perspectives on treatment. It focuses on Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors' potential in pain management. Immune cells' communication with neurons shapes neuroinflammatory responses, and JAK inhibitors' effects on pain pathways are discussed, including cytokine suppression and microglial modulation. This review integrates studies from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pain and central sensitization to highlight connections between immune interactions and pain. Studies on RA joint pain reveal the shift from cytokines to sensitization. Neurobiological investigations into central sensitization uncover shared pathways in chronic pain. Clinical evidence supports JAK inhibitors' efficacy on pain-related outcomes and their effects on neurons and immune cells. Challenges and future directions are outlined, including interdisciplinary collaboration and dosing optimization. Overall, this review highlights JAK inhibitors' potential to target immune-mediated pain pathways, underscoring the need for more research on immune-pain connections.
