TLDR
The observed IFN signature in several autoimmune diseases is a biomarker of active disease and is investigated as a tool when selecting treatment for individual patients.
Abstract
Purpose of reviewAn increased expression of type I interferon (IFN) regulated genes (an IFN signature) has been reported in blood and tissue cells from patients with SLE and other autoimmune diseases. We review the possible mechanisms behind the IFN signature as well as clinical and therapeutic cons

High Dose IFN-β Activates GAF to Enhance Expression of ISGF3 Target Genes in MLE12 Epithelial Cells

TL;DR: In this article, high doses of IFN-β signaling activate both ISGF3 and GAF, which bind to distinct genomic locations defined by their respective DNA sequence motifs.

Meta-Analysis of Polymyositis and Dermatomyositis Microarray Data Reveals Novel Genetic Biomarkers.

TL;DR: Along with previously reported genes, 4 novel genes and 10 SNP-variant regions which could be used as candidates for potential drug targets or biomarkers for PM and DM are identified.

Association between type I interferon pathway activation and clinical outcomes in rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases: a systematic literature review informing EULAR points to consider

TL;DR: A systematic literature review was conducted across three databases to evaluate the use of IFN-I assays in diagnosis and monitor disease activity, prognosis, response to treatment and responsiveness to change in several rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases as discussed by the authors .

Interferon-inducible gene expression signature in peripheral blood cells of patients with severe lupus

TL;DR: Global gene expression profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells is used to identify distinct patterns of gene expression that distinguish most SLE patients from healthy controls, and identify a subgroup of patients who may benefit from therapies targeting the IFN pathway.

Interferon and Granulopoiesis Signatures in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Blood

TL;DR: Microarray analysis of blood cells reveals that immature granulocytes may be involved in SLE pathogenesis, and the IFN signature confirms the central role of this cytokine in Sle, using oligonucleotide microarrays.

JAK and STAT Signaling Molecules in Immunoregulation and Immune-Mediated Disease

TL;DR: Not only have genome-wide association studies demonstrated that this pathway is highly relevant to human autoimmunity, but targeting JAKs is now a reality in immune-mediated disease.
