Gene Expression and Autoantibody Analysis Revealing Distinct Ancestry-Specific Profiles Associated With Response to Rituximab in Refractory Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Lucy M. Carter et al.

Summary: Gene expression profiles in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients are associated with clinical features and treatment response. The study suggests that ancestry plays a central role in the immunologic and clinical heterogeneity of SLE, and that ancestry, disease activity, and transcriptional signatures could be helpful in predicting the effectiveness of B cell depletion therapies.

Efficacy of anifrolumab across organ domains in patients with moderate-to-severe systemic lupus erythematosus: a post-hoc analysis of pooled data from the TULIP-1 and TULIP-2 trials

Eric F. Morand et al.

Summary: This post-hoc analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy of anifrolumab on organ domain-specific SLE disease activity. The results demonstrated that anifrolumab treatment improved multiple organ systems in SLE patients, particularly the musculoskeletal system, mucocutaneous system, and immunological system.

Nonlesional lupus skin contributes to inflammatory education of myeloid cells and primes for cutaneous inflammation

Allison C. Billi et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the skin and circulating immune cells of lupus patients using integrated single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial RNA sequencing. The findings reveal that the normal-appearing skin of patients with lupus is characterized by an interferon-rich environment and that CD16+ dendritic cells undergo interferon education in the skin, leading to proinflammatory phenotypes. These results provide important insights into the pathogenesis of cutaneous lupus erythematosus.

Acute skin exposure to ultraviolet light triggers neutrophil-mediated kidney inflammation

Sladjana Skopelja-Gardner et al.

Summary: Exposure to UV light triggers a neutrophil-dependent injury response in the kidney, leading to subclinical renal inflammation and injury. Neutrophils not only migrate to the skin but also to the kidney post UV light exposure, contributing to the renal induction of inflammation and injury genes. Patients with lupus have blood neutrophils similar to those observed in mice post-UV exposure, suggesting a potential role of these cells in mediating inflammation and injury.

B Cell Signatures Distinguish Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus Subtypes and the Presence of Systemic Disease Activity

Lisa Abernathy-Close et al.

Summary: Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that commonly occurs in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and can also develop in the absence of systemic disease. Research has shown that skin-associated B cell responses distinguish CLE subtypes, with B cell function possibly being an important link between cutaneous lupus and systemic disease activity.

Summary: This study identified the major IL-23+ mononuclear phagocyte and IL-17+T-cell subsets in psoriatic skin lesions, as well as revealed the changes in cellular composition before and during treatment with guselkumab or secukinumab.
