    Abstract Introduction: Systemic lupus erythematosus with antiphospholipid syndrome (SLE-APS) represents a challenging SLE endotype whose molecular basis remains unknown.
    Methods: We analysed whole-blood RNA-sequencing data from 299 patients with SLE (108 SLE-antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL)-positive, including 67 SLE-APS; 191 SLE-aPL-negative) and 72 matched healthy controls (HC). Pathway enrichment analysis, unsupervised weighted gene coexpression network analysis and machine learning were applied to distinguish disease endotypes.
    Results: Patients with SLE-APS demonstrated upregulated type I and II interferon (IFN) pathways compared with HC. Using a 100-gene random forests model, we achieved a cross-validated accuracy of 75.6% in distinguishing these two states. Additionally, the comparison between SLE-APS and SLE-aPL-negative revealed 227 differentially expressed genes, indicating downregulation of IFN-α and IFN-γ signatures, coupled with dysregulation of the complement cascade, B-cell activation and neutrophil degranulation. Unsupervised analysis of SLE transcriptome identified 21 gene modules, with SLE-APS strongly linked to upregulation of the 'neutrophilic/myeloid' module. Within SLE-APS, venous thromboses positively correlated with 'neutrophilic/myeloid' and 'B cell' modules, while arterial thromboses were associated with dysregulation of 'DNA damage response (DDR)' and 'metabolism' modules. Anticardiolipin and anti-β2GPI positivity-irrespective of APS status-were associated with the 'neutrophilic/myeloid' and 'protein-binding' module, respectively.
    Conclusions: There is a hierarchical upregulation and-likely-dependence on IFN in SLE with the highest IFN signature observed in SLE-aPL-negative patients. Venous thrombotic events are associated with neutrophils and B cells while arterial events with DDR and impaired metabolism. This may account for their differential requirements for anticoagulation and provide rationale for the potential use of mTOR inhibitors such as sirolimus and the direct fIIa inhibitor dabigatran in SLE-APS.

    Abstract Introduction: Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAVs) present with a complex phenotype and are associated with high mortality and multi-organ involvement. We sought to define the transcriptional landscape and molecular endotypes of AAVs and compare it to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
    Methods: We performed whole blood mRNA sequencing from 30 patients with AAV (granulomatosis with polyangiitis/GPA and microscopic polyangiitis/MPA) combined with functional enrichment and network analysis for aberrant pathways. Key genes and pathways were validated in an independent cohort of 18 AAV patients. Co-expression network and hierarchical clustering analysis, identified molecular endotypes. Multi-level transcriptional overlap analysis to SLE was based on our published data from 142 patients.
    Results: We report here that "Pan-vasculitis" signature contained 1,982 differentially expressed genes, enriched in leukocyte differentiation, cytokine signaling, type I and type II IFN signaling and aberrant B-T cell immunity. Active disease was characterized by signatures linked to cell cycle checkpoints and metabolism pathways, whereas ANCA-positive patients exhibited a humoral immunity transcriptional fingerprint. Differential expression analysis of GPA and MPA yielded an IFN-g pathway (in addition to a type I IFN) in the former and aberrant expression of genes related to autophagy and mRNA splicing in the latter. Unsupervised molecular taxonomy analysis revealed four endotypes with neutrophil degranulation, aberrant metabolism and B-cell responses as potential mechanistic drivers. Transcriptional perturbations and molecular heterogeneity were more pronounced in SLE. Molecular analysis and data-driven clustering of AAV uncovered distinct transcriptional pathways that could be exploited for targeted therapy.
    Discussion: We conclude that transcriptomic analysis of AAV reveals distinct endotypes and molecular pathways that could be targeted for therapy. The AAV transcriptome is more homogenous and less fragmented compared to the SLE which may account for its superior rates of response to therapy.

    Abstract Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease with multiorgan involvement, including heart. Pericarditis-the most common cardiac manifestation-occurs in up to 50% of cases, resulting in positive treatment outcomes. Rarely, it evolves to hazardous complications. A 50-year-old woman with SLE in clinical remission, receiving hydroxychloroquine 400 mg/day, presented to us with severe chest pain and low-grade fever. Physical examination revealed a friction rub and decreased breath sounds at the right lung base. Laboratory evaluation demonstrated leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, low C4 levels, and high acute phase reactants. Chest X-ray exhibited cardiomegaly, calcified pericardium, and right pleural effusion, confirmed by CT scan. PPD skin test and IGRA were both negative. Pericardial fluid, blood, and urine cultures for bacteria and fungi, as well as Gram and Ziehl-Neelsen stains were negative. Serological tests for viruses were also negative. The patient was diagnosed with calcified constrictive pericarditis (CP) due to SLE. She was treated with cyclophosphamide and methylprednisolone pulses, without improvement. Her clinical condition deteriorated, developing signs and symptoms compatible with cardiac tamponade (TMP), which was confirmed by Doppler echocardiography. The patient underwent pericardiectomy. A dramatic response was noted and she was discharged with prednisone 50 mg/day and azathioprine 100 mg/day. Thus, we review and discuss the relevant literature of SLE cases with CP or TMP. When an SLE patient presents with CP, infectious causes should be excluded first. To the best of our knowledge, this is the only case of SLE and calcified CP leading to TMP, hence physicians should be aware of this complication.

    Abstract Background: The demyelinating syndromes of the central nervous system (CNS) that occur in the context of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) may represent a manifestation of neuropsychiatric lupus (NPSLE) or an overlap of SLE and multiple sclerosis (MS). The differential diagnosis between the two entities has important clinical implications because the therapeutic management differs.
    Objectives: To characterize CNS demyelinating syndromes in a large SLE cohort as neuropsychiatric SLE (NPSLE) or SLE-MS overlap using a multidisciplinary approach and existing diagnostic (for MS) and classification criteria (for SLE).
    Methods: Patients from the "Attikon" lupus cohort (
    Results: We identified 26 patients with demyelinating syndromes (3.7%). Of them, 12 were diagnosed as primary SLE-demyelination (46.2%) and 14 as overlap SLE-MS (53.8%). The two groups did not differ with respect to rheumatologic and neurologic manifestations or autoantibodies. SLE patients with demyelination manifested mild extra-CNS disease mainly involving joints and skin, while severe non-CNS manifestations were rare. However, these patients were less likely to have elevated IgG index (OR 0.055 95% CI: 0.008-0.40) and positive oligoclonal bands (OR 0.09 95% CI: 0.014-0.56), as well as brain lesions in the spinal cord, infratentorial, periventricular, and juxtacortical regions. A single brain region was affected in 9 patients with SLE-demyelination (75%), while all patients with MS-SLE had multiple affected brain regions. MS-SLE overlap was associated with an increased likelihood of neurologic relapses (OR 18.2, 95% CI: 1.76-188), while SLE-demyelination patients were less likely to exhibit neurological deficits (EDSS >0) at the last follow-up visit (50 vs. 78.6% in SLE-MS, respectively).
    Conclusions: Demyelination in the context of SLE follows a more benign course compared to a frank SLE-MS overlap. Extension of follow-up will ascertain whether patients with SLE-demyelination evolve to MS, or this is a

    Abstract Objectives: Patients with lupus nephritis (LN) are in urgent need for early diagnosis and therapeutic interventions targeting aberrant molecular pathways enriched in affected kidneys.
    Methods: We used mRNA-sequencing in effector (spleen) and target (kidneys, brain) tissues from lupus and control mice at sequential time points, and in the blood from 367 individuals (261 systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients and 106 healthy individuals). Comparative cross-tissue and cross-species analyses were performed. The human dataset was split into training and validation sets and machine learning was applied to build LN predictive models.
    Results: In murine SLE, we defined a kidney-specific molecular signature, as well as a molecular signature that underlies transition from preclinical to overt disease and encompasses pathways linked to metabolism, innate immune system and neutrophil degranulation. The murine kidney transcriptome partially mirrors the blood transcriptome of patients with LN with 11 key transcription factors regulating the cross-species active LN molecular signature. Integrated protein-to-protein interaction and drug prediction analyses identified the kinases TRRAP, AKT2, CDK16 and SCYL1 as putative targets of these factors and capable of reversing the LN signature. Using murine kidney-specific genes as disease predictors and machine-learning training of the human RNA-sequencing dataset, we developed and validated a peripheral blood-based algorithm that discriminates LN patients from normal individuals (based on 18 genes) and non-LN SLE patients (based on 20 genes) with excellent sensitivity and specificity (area under the curve range from 0.80 to 0.99).
    Conclusions: Machine-learning analysis of a large whole blood RNA-sequencing dataset of SLE patients using human orthologs of mouse kidney-specific genes can be used for early, non-invasive diagnosis and therapeutic targeting of LN. The kidney-specific gene predictors may facilitate prevention and early intervention trials.

    Abstract Objective: CNS demyelinating syndromes occurring in the context of SLE may represent a manifestation of neuropsychiatric lupus, or an overlap of SLE and multiple sclerosis (MS). We evaluated prospectively patients presenting with demyelinating syndrome for clinical and serological evidence of SLE and characterized the evolution of their clinical syndrome to a defined disease.
    Methods: Patients with CNS demyelinating syndromes not fulfilling the criteria for MS were evaluated in a rheumatology unit for features of SLE and followed longitudinally (enrolment period 2016-20). Clinical, laboratory and neuroimaging data were recorded at every visit, following multidisciplinary evaluation. At end of follow-up, patients were assessed for their final neurological and rheumatological diagnosis, and classified accordingly.
    Results: A total of 79 patients were included in the study [91.1% female, mean (s.d.) age at first demyelinating episode 38.4 (10.3) years, median (interquartile range) observation period 39 (57) months]. At last follow-up, 38 patients (48.1%) had evolved into MS. Of the remaining patients, 7 (17.1%) had SLE, while 34 (82.9%) had features of systemic autoimmunity without fulfilling classification criteria for SLE. The most common rheumatological features of these patients were inflammatory arthritis (73.5%), acute cutaneous lupus (47.1%) and positive ANA (72.1%). Importantly, these patients were less likely to have elevated IgG index (odds ratio 0.11, 95% CI 0.04, 0.32) and positive oligoclonal bands (odds ratio 0.21, 95% CI 0.08, 0.55).
    Conclusion: A significant number of patients with demyelination do not fulfill criteria for either MS or SLE at follow-up. These patients exhibit lupus-like autoimmune features and may represent a distinct entity, 'demyelination with autoimmune features'.

    Abstract Objectives: Interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF) refers to patients with interstitial lung disease and autoimmune features not fulfilling the classification criteria for a specific connective tissue disease. We sought to study the characteristics, disease progression, response to treatment and complications of patients with IPAF in 1-year follow-up period.
    Methods: Clinical and laboratory findings, comorbidities, medications, pulmonary function tests (PFTs), chest HRCT and complications during the one-year follow-up period were documented for each of the 39 enrolled patients with IPAF.
    Results: The mean age at the time of IPAF diagnosis was 63.2 (±11) years, and 62% of patients were female. The most common clinical features were arthritis (82%) and rash (54%-not included in the IPAF criteria). Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) (59%) and non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP-61.5%) were the most prevalent autoantibodies and radiological pattern respectively. PFTs at 12 months from baseline stabilized or improved in 79.5% of patients (p> 0.05). Infections were observed in 23.1% of patients during the first and in 12.8% during the second semester of follow-up. Two patients (5.1%) required hospitalization. All infections occurred in patients with non-usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern (p=0.02).
    Conclusions: Arthritis and rash are among the most common features in IPAF suggesting rash could be included into IPAF criteria. Almost 80% of patients had stable/improved PFTs at the end of follow-up. Infections occurred mainly in the first semester of treatment and in patients with non-UIP radiological pattern probably due to higher doses of corticosteroids used in these patients.

    Abstract Objectives: Haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) are multipotent cells giving rise to both myeloid and lymphoid cell lineages. We reasoned that the aberrancies of immune cells in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) could be traced back to HSPCs.
    Methods: A global gene expression map of bone marrow (BM)-derived HSPCs was completed by RNA sequencing followed by pathway and enrichment analysis. The cell cycle status and apoptosis status of HSPCs were assessed by flow cytometry, while DNA damage was assessed via immunofluorescence.
    Results: Transcriptomic analysis of Lin
    Conclusions: Aberrancies of immune cells in SLE can be traced back to the BM HSPCs. Priming of HSPCs and aberrant regulation of myelopoiesis may contribute to inflammation and risk of flare.
