The IFN-regulated gene signature is elevated in SCLE and DLE and correlates with CLASI score

Abstract

Background:  There is increased expression of type I interferon (IFN)-regulated proteins in the blood and target tissues of patients with cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Patients with SLE have increased IFN-regulated gene expression pointing towards a possible underlying genetic defect.


Objectives:  We measured expression levels of five type I IFN-regulated genes that are highly expressed in SLE in the peripheral blood of patients with CLE and correlated expression levels with cutaneous disease activity.


Methods:  Peripheral blood was obtained from 10 healthy controls and 30 patients with CLE, including ...
