Article Abstract
Transcriptomic analysis plays a vital role in investigating Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), a complex autoimmune disease characterized by diverse clinical manifestations. This approach has yielded valuable insights into gene expression patterns and molecular regulatory mechanisms involved in SLE pathogenesis. Notably, interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) signatures are significantly upregulated in immune cells, skin, and kidney. Although a correlation with serological parameters and clinical symptoms has been proposed, the association with global disease activities remains controversial. Key findings in the field include an upregulated plasmablast signature, which positively correlates with disease activity; a neutrophil signature associated with lupus nephritis; and a decreased lymphocyte signature, reflecting lymphopenia. Tissue-level studies highlight the critical role of infiltrating immune cells in organ damage. Future research should leverage advanced technologies and integrate multi-omics data to deepen our understanding of SLE's molecular underpinnings, facilitating the development of targeted therapies.

Design of Two Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 3 Trials of Deucravacitinib, an Oral, Selective, Allosteric TYK2 Inhibitor, in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

Background And Objectives: Deucravacitinib, a first-in-class, oral, selective, allosteric tyrosine kinase 2 inhibitor, demonstrated efficacy across the primary endpoint and all key secondary endpoints in the phase 2 PAISLEY SLE trial in patients with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Here, we describe 2 phase 3 trials [POETYK SLE-1 (NCT05617677), POETYK SLE-2 (NCT05620407)] which will assess the efficacy and safety of deucravacitinib in patients with active SLE. These phase 3 trials have been designed to replicate the successful elements of the phase 2 trial, including its glucocorticoid-tapering strategy and disease activity adjudication.

Background: Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are a specialized subset of dendritic cells known for their ability to produce type I interferon (IFN I), contributing to antiviral defense and the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In SLE patients, pDCs are excessively activated, leading to overproduction of IFN-α, which plays a critical role in disease progression. However, no bibliometric analysis has been conducted on the relationship between pDCs and SLE.

Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage is a rare but fatal manifestation of SLE, typically reported in well-established diagnoses of SLE. DAH itself as a presenting symptom is quite rare. In this case, we present a 24-year-old pregnant female at 10 weeks of gestation without a history of SLE presenting with DAH.

Purpose: Herpes zoster poses severe complications in elderly immunocompromised patients, particularly those with altered drug metabolism and renal impairment, impacting quality of life.
Patients And Methods: To evaluate brivudine's efficacy and safety in such cases, we conducted a retrospective case series at Shanghai Skin Disease Hospital, analyzing four Chinese patients (aged 64-84 years) with complex herpes zoster, including systemic lupus erythematosus, diabetes nephropathy, multiple comorbidities, and trigeminal nerve involvement. Selected for their immunocompromised status and prior antiviral failure or renal concerns, patients received oral brivudine (125 mg once daily) with or without intravenous acyclovir, with outcomes assessed via clinical examination, pain scores, and laboratory monitoring over 7-14 days.
