{Abstract}: BACKGROUND: Neutrophilic inflammation, characterized by dysregulated neutrophil activation, triggers a variety of inflammatory responses such as chemotactic infiltration, oxidative bursts, degranulation, neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) formation, and delayed turnover. This type of inflammation is pivotal in the pathogenesis of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and psoriasis. Despite current treatments, managing neutrophil-associated inflammatory symptoms remains a significant challenge.
OBJECTIVE: This review emphasizes the role of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) in neutrophil activation and inflammation. It aims to highlight the therapeutic potential of repurposing CDK inhibitors to manage neutrophilic inflammation, particularly in ARDS and psoriasis. Additionally, it discusses the necessary precautions for the clinical application of these inhibitors due to potential off-target effects and the need for dose optimization.
UNASSIGNED: CDKs regulate key neutrophilic functions, including chemotactic responses, degranulation, NET formation, and apoptosis. Repurposing CDK inhibitors, originally developed for cancer treatment, shows promise in controlling neutrophilic inflammation. Clinical anticancer drugs, palbociclib and ribociclib, have demonstrated efficacy in treating neutrophilic ARDS and psoriasis by targeting off-label pathways, phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4), respectively. While CDK inhibitors offer promising therapeutic benefits, their clinical repurposing requires careful consideration of off-target effects and dose optimization. Further exploration and clinical trials are necessary to ensure their safety and efficacy in treating inflammatory conditions.
