In T cells, the Tec kinases ITK and RLK are activated by TCR stimulation, and are required for optimal downstream signaling. Studies of CD4+ T cells from Itk−/− and Itk−/− Rlk−/− mice have indicated differential roles of ITK and RLK in TH1, TH2, and TH17 differentiation and cytokine production. However, these findings are confounded by the complex T cell developmental defects in these mice. Here, we examine the consequences of ITK and RLK inhibition using a highly selective and potent small molecule covalent inhibitor PRN694. In vitro TH polarization experiments indicate that PRN694 is a potent inhibitor of TH1 and TH17 differentiation and cytokine production. Using a T cell adoptive transfer model of colitis, we find that in vivo administration of PRN694 markedly reduces disease progression, T cell infiltration into the intestinal lamina propria, and IFN-γ production by colitogenic CD4+ T cells. Consistent with these findings, TH1 and TH17 cells differentiated in the presence of PRN694 show reduced P-selectin binding and impaired migration to CXCL11 and CCL20, respectively. Together, these data indicate that ITK plus RLK inhibition may have therapeutic potential in TH1-mediated inflammatory diseases.
