ABSTRACT
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multifaceted autoimmune disorder characterized by diverse clinical manifestations and organ damage. Despite its elusive etiology, dysregulated subsets and functions of B cells are pivotal in SLE pathogenesis. Peoniflorin-6'-O-benzene sulfonate (CP-25), an esterification modification of Paeoniflorin, exhibits potent anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties in autoimmune diseases (AID). However, the involvement of CP-25 and its target, GRK2, in SLE development has not been explored. In this study, we demonstrate that both genetic deficiency and pharmacological inhibition of GRK2 attenuate autoantibodies production, reduce systemic inflammation, and mitigate histopathological alterations in the spleen and kidney in the pristane-induced mouse SLE model. Importantly, our findings highlight that both genetic deficiency and pharmacological inhibition of GRK2 suppress plasma cells generation and restore dysregulated B-cell subsets by modulating two crucial transcription factors, Blimp1 and IRF4. Collectively, targeting GRK2 with CP-25 emerges as a promising therapeutic approach for SLE.
