The investigators hypothesize that the JAK/STAT signaling pathway constitutes a new step in the clinical and therapeutic progress of sarcoidosis, in particular in cases of severe sarcoidosis refractory to the various therapeutic lines. The main objective of this proposal is to evaluate the presence and stage of activation of the JAK/STAT pathway in PBMCs from inactive and active sarcoidosis patients. The second objective will be to determine the role of the JAK/STAT pathway in the formation and maintenance of granulomas and their association with the severity of sarcoidosis and fibrogenesis.
Recent studies suggest that the JAK/STAT signaling pathway constitutes a new step in the clinical and therapeutic progress of sarcoidosis. Further investigations are necessary to identify the most suitable patients to receive treatment targeting this pathway, in particular in cases of severe sarcoidosis refractory to the various therapeutic lines.
