The 330 risk loci known for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE): a review

Viktoryia Laurynenka, John B. Harley · 24 May 2024

An in-depth literature review of up to 2023 reveals 330 risk loci found by genetic association at p ≤ 5 × 10 −8 , with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in at least one study of 160 pertinent publications. There are 225 loci found in East Asian (EAS), 106 in European (EU), 11 in African-American (AA),…

A critical role for IFN-β signaling for IFN-κ induction in keratinocytes

Bin Xu, Jon Musai, Yee Sun Tan et al. · 19 Mar 2024

Background/Purpose Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) affects up to 70% of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and type I interferons (IFNs) are important promoters of SLE and CLE. Our previous work identified IFN-kappa (IFN-κ), a keratinocyte-produced type I IFN, as upregulated in non-lesional and lesional lupus skin and as a critical regulator for enhanced UVB-mediated…

Disease activity assessment in systemic lupus erythematosus

Angela E. Lin, Ambika Wakhlu, Kathryn Connelly · 21 Aug 2024

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE, lupus) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterised by a heterogeneous clinical presentation and complex underlying immunologic dysfunction. This poses a significant challenge to the accurate assessment of disease activity, which is central to both clinical management and research in SLE. This review aims to describe common barriers to accurately measuring disease…

Modeling of horizontal pleiotropy identifies possible causal gene expression in systemic lupus erythematosus

Iouri Chepelev, Isaac T. W. Harley, John B. Harley · 3 Oct 2023

Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune condition with complex causes involving genetic and environmental factors. While genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified genetic loci associated with SLE, the functional genomic elements responsible for disease development remain largely unknown. Mendelian Randomization (MR) is an instrumental variable approach to causal inference based on data…

Insights into future management of lupus nephritis

Anca Askanase, Maria Dall’Era, Salem Almaani · 6 Feb 2024

Lupus nephritis (LN) is a common and serious manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus and is a major cause of mortality and morbidity. The current standard-of-care treatment for LN include conventional immunosuppressive treatments such as mycophenolate mofetil, cyclophosphamide, or azathioprine, combined with glucocorticoids. However, this treatment approach has several unmet needs, such as achieving only modest…
