In this review, we try to evaluate whether cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK), enzymes that regulate cell cycle and transcription of various genes, could become novel therapeutic targets in RA and psoriasis. We present the main results of in vitro and in vivo studies, as well as scarce clinical reports.
CDK inhibitors seem promising for treating RA and psoriasis because of their multidirectional effects. CDK inhibitors may affect not only the process of osteoclastogenesis, thereby reducing joint destruction in RA, but also the process of apoptosis of neutrophils and macrophages responsible for the development of inflammation in both RA and psoriasis. However, assessing the efficacy of these drugs in clinical practice requires multi-center, long-term clinical trials evaluating the effectiveness and safety of CDK-blocking therapy in RA and psoriasis.
■在这篇评论中,我们试图评估细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶(CDK)调节细胞周期和各种基因转录的酶,可能成为RA和银屑病的新治疗靶点。我们介绍了体外和体内研究的主要结果,以及稀缺的临床报告。
■CDK抑制剂由于其多向作用,似乎有望用于治疗RA和银屑病。CDK抑制剂可能不仅影响破骨细胞生成的过程,从而减少RA中的关节破坏,而且是中性粒细胞和巨噬细胞凋亡的过程,负责RA和牛皮癣的炎症发展。然而,评估这些药物在临床实践中的疗效需要多中心,评估CDK阻断疗法在RA和银屑病中的有效性和安全性的长期临床试验。
