Ruxolitinib: A new hope for ventilator‐induced diaphragm dysfunction

Aim Mechanical ventilation (MV) results in diminished diaphragm size and strength, termed ventilator‐induced diaphragm dysfunction (VIDD). VID increases dependence, prolongs weaning, and increases discharge mortality rates. The Janus kinase (JAK)/Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (STA...

Description
Summary:Aim Mechanical ventilation (MV) results in diminished diaphragm size and strength, termed ventilator‐induced diaphragm dysfunction (VIDD). VID increases dependence, prolongs weaning, and increases discharge mortality rates. The Janus kinase (JAK)/Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (STAT) pathway is implicated in VIDD, upregulated following MV. JAK/STAT inhibition alleviates chronic muscle wasting conditions. This study aimed to explore the therapeutic potential of Ruxolitinib, an FDA approved JAK1/2 inhibitor (JI) for the treatment of VIDD. Methods Rats were subjected to 5 days controlled MV (CMV) with and without daily Ruxolitinib gavage. Muscle fiber size and function were assessed. RNAseq, mitochondrial morphology, respirometry, and mass spectrometry were determined. Results CMV significantly reduced diaphragm size and specific force by 45% (p
