JAK/STAT-signalling is known to be involved in the regulation of CD4(+) T cells, which critically orchestrate inflammatory responses. To better understand how ruxolitinib modulates CD4(+) T cell responses, we undertook an in-depth analysis of CD4(+) T cell function upon ruxolitinib exposure. We observed a decrease in total CD3(+) cells after 3 weeks of ruxolitinib treatment in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms. Moreover, we found that the number of regulatory T cells (Tregs), pro-inflammatory T-helper cell types 1 (Th1) and Th17 were reduced, which were validated by in vitro studies. In line with our in vitro data, we found that inflammatory cytokines [tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF), interleukin (IL)5, IL6, IL1B] were also downregulated in T cells from patients (all P < 0·05). Finally, we showed that ruxolitinib does not interfere with the T cell receptor signalling pathway, but impacts IL2-dependent STAT5 activation. These data provide a rationale for testing JAK inhibitors in diseases triggered by hyperactive CD4(+) T cells, such as autoimmune diseases.
