Objectives: Investigating haloperidol’s cytogenetic behavior in cultured human T lymphocytes of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: Four haloperidol solutions were added in cultures of peripheral blood lymphocytes of healthy individuals, SLE, and RA patients. After 72 hours of incubation, the cultured lymphocytes were plated on glass slides, and stained with the fluorescence plus Giemsa method, and sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs), proliferation rate index (PRI), and mitotic index (MI) were measured with the optical microscope. Results: Result analysis revealed: (a) a statistically significant (p=0.001) dose-dependent increase of SCEs in SLE patients compared to healthy individuals; (b) a statistically significant (p=0.001) dose-dependent decrease of SCEs in RA patients for haloperidol concentrations 5, 10μg/mL; (c) a statistically significant (p=0.001) dose-dependent increase of SCEs in RA patients for haloperidol concentrations 20, 100μg/mL; and (d) a statistically significant (p=0.001) dose-dependent reduction of PRI and MI in both patient groups compared to healthy individuals. Furthermore, a correlation was observed between (a) SCE and PRI index variations, (b) MI and SCE index variations, and (c) PRI and MI index variations. Conclusions: Haloperidol affects T lymphocytes from SLE and RA patients by modifying DNA replication procedures, DNA damage response, and ferroptosis. Considering the wide use of haloperidol in neuropsychiatric symptoms of SLE and RA patients, further studies with more immune cell subsets are needed to evaluate its effects on human genetic material.
