Inhibition of phosphoinositide‑3 kinases γ/δ ameliorates pulmonary granuloma by rescuing Treg function in a sarcoidosis model.

ABSTRACT: Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease characterized by the development of Th1/Th17/regulatory T cells (Tregs)-related non-caseating granulomas. Phosphoinositide-3 kinases δ/γ (PI3Kδ/γ) play an important role in the maintenance of effective immunity, especially for Tregs homeostasis and stability. In the present study, superoxide dismutase A (SodA) stimulation was used to establish the sarcoidosis mouse model. The second immune stimulus was accompanied by CAL-101 (PI3Kδ inhibitor) or AS-605240 (PI3Kδ/γ inhibitor) treatment. To detect the effect of the PI3Kδ/γ inhibitor on the morphology of pulmonary granuloma and the activation of the PI3K signaling pathway, hematoxylin and eosin staining and immunofluorescence and western blotting was used, respectively.
