The IRAK4-IRF5 axis plays a significant role in the induction of cytokines and chemokines in the hyperinflammatory state associated with severe morbidity and mortality in COVID-19. Inhibiting this axis could be a potential therapy for the cytokine storm of COVID-19, highlighting IRAK4 or IRF5 inhibitors as potential treatments.
Interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 (IRAK4) and interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) lie sequentially on a signaling pathway activated by ligands of the IL-1 receptor and/or multiple TLRs located either on plasma or endosomal membranes. Activated IRF5, in conjunction with other synergistic transcription factors, notably NF-kappa B, is crucially required for the production of proinflammatory cytokines in the innate immune response to microbial infection. The IRAK4-IRF5 axis could therefore have a major role in the induction of the signature cytokines and chemokines of the hyperinflammatory state associated with severe morbidity and mortality in COVID-19. Here a case is made for considering IRAK4 or IRF5 inhibitors as potential therapies for the cytokine storm of COVID-19.
