The pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) involves abnormalities in both acquired and innate immune system, which is mediated by numerous cytokines. Janus kinase (JAK) plays important roles in the signaling pathways of those cytokines and is an attractive therapeutic target for SLE. Currently, multiple clinical trials using JAK inhibitors with different selectivities for JAK family proteins are being conducted in SLE. In this article, we provide an overview of the pathological relevance of JAK and the clinical implications of JAK inhibitors in SLE based on recent reports. JAK inhibitors have the potential to modulate various immune networks through a variety of mechanisms, potentially regulating the complex immunopathogenesis in SLE. SLE is a clinically and immunologically heterogeneous disease; therefore, precision medicine is required to maximize the efficacy of JAK inhibitors. Further studies are needed to determine their risk-benefit ratio and selection of the most appropriate patients for JAK inhibitors.
