Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) T cells display a hyperactive calcineurin-NFAT pathway. The aim of this study is to answer whether this pathway is responsible for the aberrant SLE T cell function and test the effectiveness of the recently recognized calcineurin inhibitor dipyridamole in limiting SLE related pathology. T and mononuclear cells were isolated from the peripheral blood of patients with SLE and healthy individuals. Murine cells were isolated from the spleens and lymph nodes of lupus prone MRL/lpr mice and control MRL/MpJ mice. Cells were treated in vitro with tacrolimus, dipyridamole or control. MRL/lpr mice were injected intraperitoneally with dipyridamole 50 mg/kg three times a week for 3 weeks. MRL/lpr T cells, especially CD3+CD4-CD8- displayed a robust calcium influx upon activation and increased levels of NFATc1. MRL/lpr T cells (both CD4+ and CD3+CD4-CD8- cells) provided help to B cells to produce immunoglobulin in a calcineurin-dependent fashion. Dipyridamole treatment of SLE T cells inhibited significantly the expression of CD154, the production of IFN-γ, IL-17, IL-6, and the T cell dependent B cell immunoglobulin secretion. Treatment of MRL/lpr mice with dipyridamole alleviated lupus nephritis and prevented the appearance of skin ulcers. NFAT activation is a key step in the activation of SLE T cells and the production of immunoglobulin. Dipyridamole inhibits SLE T cell function and improves disease pathology in lupus-prone mice. We propose that dipyridamole can be used in treatment regimens of SLE patients.
