Schematic illustration showed the mechanism of neddylation pathway in lupus treatment. DN T cells enrichment results in the destruction of immune tolerance with the mass secretion of IFN-γ and IL-17, autoantibody accumulation and the damage of multi-organs, leading to the development of lupus. Inactivation of neddylation pathway (MLN4924 treatment or Ube2m KO in T cells) impaired the neddylation of Cullin1 and then interrupted the ubiquitination of Bim, contributing to the Bim-dependent DN T cell apoptosis, which restores the immune tolerance and finally alleviates lupus symptoms.
