Résumé
Sarcoidosis is an enigmatic multisystem disease characterized by the development and accumulation of granulomas: a compact collection of macrophages that have differentiated into epithelioid cells and which are associated with T helper (Th)1 and Th17 cells. Although no single causative factor has been shown to underlie sarcoidosis in humans, its etiology has been related to microbial, environmental, and genetic factors. We examine how these factors play a role in sarcoidosis pathogenesis. Specifically, we propose that dysfunction of mTOR, Rac1, and autophagy-related pathways not only hampers pathogen or nonorganic particle clearance but also participates in T cell and macrophage dysfunction, driving granuloma formation. This concept opens new avenues for potentially treating sarcoidosis and may serve as a blueprint for other granulomatous disorders.
