Autoimmune disease: genetic susceptibility, environmental triggers, and immune dysregulation. Where can we develop therapies? by Manoj Kumar, Manoj Kumar, Linda Yip, Fangyuan Wang, Saci-Elodie Marty, C. Garrison Fathman

“…While Treg frequencies may appear normal in patients, emerging data indicate intrinsic signaling defects—especially impaired IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) signal durability—compromise Treg suppressive function. This dysfunction is linked to aberrant degradation of key IL-2R second messengers, including phosphorylated JAK1 and DEPTOR, due to diminished expression of GRAIL, an E3 ligase that inhibits cullin RING ligase activation. …”
